Week 9 - Oy....

Pounds gained this week: 1.0
Total pounds lost: 7.5
Pounds to go: 32.5

Confessions

Wow! I'm getting really good at switching "pounds lost" and "pounds to go" back & forth! I need to remember to post on Mondays, since that's when I weigh in. It's getting hard to remember what my confessions were from almost two weeks ago! I'm sure it involved too much chocolate....oh yes! Now I remember...my weakness was "Death by Chocolate"...a dessert I made for a ward party that got canceled because of the blizzard. Being locked down in the house, I ate waaay too much of it :/. Also, the neighbors brought over some of their chocolate dessert that they didn't bring, and I had some of that. Ugh! I need to rediscover the garbage disposal...

What Worked for Me

I worked out four times, but apparently it wasn't enough to compensate for overeating! I am usually walking around 1.5 miles a day. I tried Mom's soup, and it was tasty. Also, Costco makes some great organic instant oatmeal (Kirkland brand) and we all love it for breakfast. It's only four points if you make it with milk, three if you make it with water! This also might be a good dinner/late night option for you guys - just one packet really fills you up.

Goals for This Week

So, the week is mostly over (and I haven't been great), but I think my goal for this weekend is to not overdo it in terms of eating, and to exercise each day. Peter is gone all weekend, so I am just going to focus on having fun with the boys!

Good luck, everyone!!

It sounds like we are all hitting a slump! It's been a few weeks and the newness of trying to change has worn off. I guess we just need to remind ourselves of the reasons we want to lose weight, and maybe that will motivate us! Good luck this weekend!

I agree that we need to start posting on the right day (Mom has stuck to it). Not being totally accountable has made it hard to stay on track. Sounds like your weeks have been like mine. Great job on the exercise though! Have fun with the boys!
