Uh oh....

So I'm spending the weekend with my family -tonight going to a hockey game w/my dad & sis, tomorrow/sunday going to Slippery Rock for my sister's performance- and I'm worried about how its all gonna go down. I don't really want to tell them I joined WW, mainly because I will not get a positive reaction from them, but I really don't want to mess up my points the first week. I'm still new at this, so its not like I can guess points or remember everything to track later, I'm gonna have to bring my packet o' information with me. Ugh. Plus they always like eating alot and always have reasons why I shouldn't worry about what I'm eating. (But its of course ok for my Mom to not eat alot cuz she had that surgery to lose weight, or its ok for my sister to not eat alot b/c she is picky....I have no reason not to eat. Right.)

Anyhoo....I'm bringing my stuff with me and hopefully will be able to keep to points and maybe sneak in the bathroom to record it! lol

Weight Watchers!

I had my first meeting today. I'm kind of annoyed that I'm paying to lose weight, but at the same time I'm excited b/c I think it will work. Plus my cousin in Cincy goes to WW too, so we can be buddies lol. I weighed in at 171.2 and of course I will keep you posted on my progress!

169!

My scale said 169 today! Yay! Granted it was right before I took a shower this morning, so I hadn't ate anything and I didn't have bulky clothes on, but it is a number in the right direction :) -KR

Boo.

I am getting no where with this weight loss. I had a bad weekend last weekend when I spent it in Cincy with my 2 fav cousins. We ate a sh*t ton of crap. This past week was ok. Nothing too stellar. I really need to start adding physical activity back into my life. Hopefully starting this week, working only 20 hours/week, only 2 1/2 classes (legal drafting = 1/2), I will be able to start movin' and shakin'. Also, one of my old roommate's friends wants to start taking adult tap classes with me! Should be fun if she can find us a class. And, last but not least, I am starting Weight Watchers this week. I think if I am paying someone to tell me how to lose weight-which I know how to do by myself- I will be much more likely to follow it. I don't want to waste my money, so I'll follow it and lose weight. Hopefully.

:)

Well, I was doing well...

I was doing so much better at the end of last week. I hadn't been on the treadmill as much as I would have liked, but I was still eating a bit better and hadn't had any snacks or anything throughout the week. Even ended the week about 2 lbs down from my starting weight. Then this week it all fell apart. I went into work yesterday and someone had brought in doughnuts. Shouldn't have been a problem - I was eating my breakfast cereal (I have a container that I bring some cereal and milk to work) and I should have just ignored the doughnuts in the office kitchen. Which, as I'm sure you have guessed, I was unable to do - twice :( By the end of the day I had eaten two Krispy Cream doughnuts. I figured that I could try and make up for this by running on the treadmill in the evening. When I got home, I started to run, but because I hadn't slept well the night before, I only made it for a half-hour before I had to give up.

I weighed myself this morning (it showed that I had gained almost 1.5 lbs) but I'm not sure if the scale was actually correct or not, so I'm going to wait until tomorrow morning's weigh-in before I get way too upset over it. I'm going to force myself to get back on the treadmill tonight when I get home from class and hopefully I will make it through the whole workout this time around.

Also, I wanted to know if you guys had heard about a new weight-loss program that is out there. It is called the "4 x 400 diet" (or something along those lines) where you eat 4 meals / times per day, but each time you eat, you only eat 400 calories at a time. Apparently it is supposed to speed up your metabolism and at the same time keep your calorie count down. I supposed you could also do a 4 x 450 or 4 x 500 if 400 calories at a sitting isn't enough for you. Just thought I would share that - I'm kind of considering trying to do something like that once I officially get my work and school schedules worked out.

By the end of the week, I want to be down to at least the 146s - that would be about 3 lbs since the start (not a lot, but at least a start, I guess).

Hi My Name is Big E and I Am A Fat Kid

so in extreme desperation for food and needing medicine and feeling sorry for myself I went to Acme yesterday...ugh I am a compulsive grocery shopper...so what did I buy you ask?!?! the most amazing fat kid food ever...sour cream dip (like the french onion kind) that was flavored white cheddar and bacon...all kinds of amazing...now i am terrified of getting on the scale...i am weak :(

on a different note: i have been parking further away than necessary when i come to campus lately so that i have to walk...yes it sucks cause it is cold but the bright side is that i get exercise...

The Pie that Killed Me

So I exchanged my labor law books with a certain master baker night student who made me the most AMAZING chocolate rum pecan pie!!!!!!!!!!!! so amazing, but do you know how bad it is for you? oh mannn it is my demise. so, when i went home yesterday for my dad's bday, i left about half+ for my parents to enjoy. it was so sad leaving the pie, but it was the right thing to do. i knew i left the pie in the correct home. anyways, so today i came home from class hungry, so i had my last piece of pie. and was still having a grumbling tummy so i ate some of matt's pizza rolls. dang. i was doing well today soon. i can't wait till i get rid of the crap in my apt so my only option is healthiness. ughhh i suck with self-control. tomorrow is another day with no pie and no pizza rolls. weight 171.5 pre-pie/pizza. goal for the remainder of the week and next week.....negative scale results each day. oh! new goal as well....my 25th bday is exactly 7 weeks from yesterday. i want to lose 12 pounds by then. pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase hold me accountable :)
