Gained weight :-(

So upset to say I have gained 2.5 pounds back. Being sick for a week and then having a holiday weekend has just killed my motivation. All I have been craving is junkfood and I have been overeating. Also haven't exercised in over 2 weeks.
I'm working on a schedule this morning to make everything more automatic. My husband and I are going to start training for a 5K in march. So I have to squeeze in 3 times a week with him at a track, plus 2 times a week for me at the gym on top of everything I already do. Oh and I am starting to work part time agian next week as well!! I seriously don't know how people can do EVERYTHING! I really don't want to but I may have to start drinking diet soda again just for the caffeine to keep me going all day!

Another wasted week!

Tomorrow is weigh in day and I am dreading it! I have been sick since Thursday. Which means I haven't made it to the gym and I haven't made it to the grocery store so I have had a lot of fast food and take out this weekend.
I really, really hope that I just haven't gained any weight back as of tomorrow :-(

Week 4 starting off feeling Accomplished

Feeling really good today! I woke up and weighed myself because I was not happy with yesterdays scale and I was 1.5 pounds less than yesterday, so I think that my period definitely had something to do with it! Also putting on my clothes today everything was a bit looser. Yay!!
Then I went out and bought myself a really nice winter jacket that fits great and looks good! It is still a size large which should be depressing but I know I have broad shoulders and will never fit into anything smaller than a medium so I will just have to live with the tag.... or maybe cut it out ;-)
My sister is coming over this afternoon and we are going on a walk which is always worth looking forward to!
Tonight is my hubby's night out and normally I like to go get some fast food junk food but I'm not even feeling it! Fast food doesn't even sound good right now which is very not me but I am loving that!!

Week 3

It's the end of week 3 and I only lost 1 pound :-(  I'm kind of sad but this is the week of my period so I'm hoping that maybe I can make up for it this coming week.

However  I am proud of myself for finally getting to the gym. I actually made it 3 times and couldn't be happier. I love going to the gym!! I am one of those people that puts on my music and gets in a zone! I love the feeling it gives and it puts me in such a good mood!

My food this week hasn't been the best but we had a very bad pay period so finances were not in order and I had to put together whatever I could which unfortunetely included some frozen chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese. I did however make sure my portions were in check whenever we ate bad. This next week I am working on putting together some very healthy meals and getting to the gym 2-3 times! I am going to try to get in the habit of posting my daily calorie totals to try to keep me on track!

Week 2

After another very hard week which included me getting sick for 3-4 days and now taking care of a sick boy.... I still lost another 2 pounds!! Right on track for what I was hoping. There is no reason that in the first 4 weeks I can't lose 2 pounds each week. That is the amount of weight I gained back over this past summer. After that I know it is going to get harder. All I am doing right now is mainly focusing on diet. Hopefully starting this coming week I can add some exercise into the mix!

Starting Week 2

1350 calories- Ate a bit too much at dinner, but it was so yummy! Made Meatlaof, garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. Used skim milk and only 1 egg white in the meatloaf. And as always my ground beef is 93% lean. Also used light butter and skim milk in the mashed potatoes. Couldn't tell a difference in either one!!

45 minute walk- Went on another walk with my sister. Still haven't made it to the gym and unfortunately with everything going on I am not sure when I will. Hopefully Thurs or Fri night I will get to try out the gym.

Week 1

Wooo Hooo!!! I Lost 2 lbs!! Notice my little ticker under my picture ^^^^^
I wasn't sure what the scale was going to read this morning but I am very pleased! This has been a very challenging week for me, emotional and physical wise. However  I did not turn to food the entire week. I did eat junk food 4 times but I did not stuff myself and still managed to stay around my calorie goal. Tonight my sister is hoping to come over and go on a walk, hopefully involving a lot more jogging!

I am hoping I can keep up with this blog but due to unforeseen circumstances I may either no longer be a stay at home mom or I may be trekking it across the country in search of a better financial situation. Either way I am still going to try to make 30 Before 30 a priority in my life!
