Day 83

Saturday, September 08, 2007




Well no change today, but started doing the calorie cycling to see if it will help my body lose more again. I have been losing ok though so lets hope this works! I went on a long hike (well as long as I can go with a 3.5 yo!) and took a lot of photographs along the way. It was a gorgeous day here. I also did 30 mins on the elliptical HIIT and should walk a total of 15000 steps today, and did strength this morning too. Definitely feel it in my muscles though!!

    15,000 steps. Wow. I don't even know how many I do. Maybe I should wear that pedometer and set it to steps one of these days when i'm at work. I walk my BUTT off there!
Keep posted about the calorie cycling.
You're doing GREAT!

Day 82

Friday, September 07, 2007




The scales moved a little again down to 156.4 wow. I really seem to drop weight about 2 weeks before my period and I don't think its water because my water percent is lower. Anyhow at least things are moving. Would love to be in the 140's by October. Anyhow had a rest day but then did not sleep well, thanks DH! I am getting back on track today and did some extra strength today, it really makes me feel better when I do. Anyhow hopefully a quiet day and am going to do a little gardening to burn some extra calories.

    Enjoy your gardening, Anna. You are doing a great job. We'll help keep each other on track. I would also like to be in the 140's by October. Help me hang in there! How are you doing on the calorie cycling challenge? Have a great weekend!

    Wow, I'm so jealous that you *lose* weight 2 weeks before your period! I always retain water starting 2 weeks before mine....so the scale doesn't move for weeks.... *sigh* I'm in the middle of that right now.... *sigh again*...

You are doing great! Keep it up!!! :o)

    WOW! You're doing GREAT!
I hate having a period. Apparently so does DH, because he won't switch with me for that week! LOL
Yes, exercise, for some STRANGE reason, makes me feel better as well! It takes me a little bit of talking to myself, but once I'm out there hitting the asphalt I'm exhilarated! WEIRD, huh!
You're doing really well, and I can see you at your October goal quite easily! Keep doing what you're doing!

Thistles

Well DD went to bed early last night and trust me she needed it! She also threw her lunchtime macaroni and cheese ALL over the floor, and then had to clean it up. I think she won't do that again any time soon. Geez! I am taking a rest day today and going out to the grocery store and get some more food! I was running really low but stayed within my calorie range and finished up all the fruit and veggies. Ready for a change though thats for sure! I think DH misses my gourmet-yet-fattening meals! I am going to start cooking more (not-s0-fattening-meals) as the weather gets cooler, but have been enjoying a lot of salads.

The good news is the scales moved - again! 156.8 and that means...TADA...30 lbs lost! 17 to my goal! Wow I never thought I could do it. I was not even sure of my final goal but I think 140 would be good but need to get my body fat tested at that point I think. Anyhow think I will have a fun day with DD (hopefully!) and take a much needed rest, shopping is walking so will get some walking in but thats all I am planning. I think DD is cranky because she still has a nasty cough and cold and so cannot do her normal activities and she needs that, and so do I!

Review of my mini-goals:

1. Get below 170 into the 160's again!! DONE!

2. Get to 168 - thats exactly 12 stone. DONE!

3. Get to 163.5 - thats exactly half way on my weight loss. DONE!

5. Get below 160 into the 150's again!! DONE!

6. Get to 157 - thats exactly 30 lbs lost. DONE!

7. Get to 154 - thats exactly 11 stone. NEXT GOAL!

8. Get to 151.7 - thats 3/4th lost 1/4th to go!

9. Get below 150 into the 140's again!!

10. Get to 140 - my final goal!

CELEBRATE!! AND MAINTAIN

    A stone is 14 lbs and how I grew up measuring weight in UK (which is now more metric) I still think that way though so for me 10 stone is my end goal and 11 stone is 154 lbs (which at the time sounded like a LOT and now does not lol). Hope this helps!

Day 80

Wednesday, September 05, 2007



I am just not getting a lot done today! I am trying to work and entertain DD who trashed the place (and screamed) when I was on a phone consultation. Oops. Time to go outside and burn off some energy I think. Its ok to be a WAHM but sometimes hard to juggle both, and my weight-loss is becoming a full time job too! Lucky we do a lot of hiking and walking and gets us both exercise. Did I mention she said "you are bossing me insane" and "psycho" and told me she learned them from a little girl at the preschool. Nice...then there was her announcement in the background of the phone consult "Mommy, I wiped my bottom ALL by myself" - I don't *think* they heard...

The scales moved a little (in the right direction) to 157.7 yay! They gave me the tease of 157.0 too but I don't think it was but hopefully soon! Onward and upward!

Day 79

Tuesday, September 04, 2007


At the waterfall yesterday.

My scales!! Initially they said 159.0 (and am a little tired of that particular number to be honest) so then after a visit to umm the bathroom they said 157.9 and I did it several times (since they are so erratic) and it kept coming back to that number. Initially it wavered between 158.4 and 159.0 and then it wavered between 158.4 and came back to 157.9 its really weird how it weighs though and not sure if the initial weight that comes up is what you weight when you stand on the scales as it seems to be less when you sidle up sideways and tiptoe on and more if you take a deep breath and boldly step on them. Oh well it moved! I am way too obsessed with the scale lately but its because it has not been moving!! I am having to adjust to an inevitable slower rate of weight loss, but hey as long as its loss I am ok. Originally I did not think I could make it to 140 as it seemed an impossible dream but now I do see its doable. I hope so!! I feel so much fitter and healthier and need to focus on that more than anything.

Note to self: Kiwi Fruit Smoothies are NOT good!

    Ok! so it seems we're doing this 159 thing together? I'm dying here. Feel better, stronger, but the scale!!! I'm eating healthily and exercising but honestly I have stayed here at 159 for 2 weeks (admittedly it did the 157.8 thing on one non-weigh-in day and 158.4 on another non-weigh-in day but I only record Wednesdays because I don't want to risk getting any crazier about this than I already am). Tomorrow is the 9 week weigh-in and I have my sights set on 158. I want to lose 2 lbs a week. If this getting stuck on one # is a trend...arrrgh!!! Oh , my name is Nancy and you make me feel better and make me laugh! Love your perfect family picture taking blog!
