Week Eight - Still not so great

Pounds lost this week: 1.0
Total pounds lost: 8.5
Pounds to go: 31.5


Confessions

I was totally off the wagon this last week. So, the fact that I lost my happy pound was a miracle. I had chocolate cake at girls' night out and although I still didn't totally binge on anything, I basically ate whatever tickled my belly.

What Worked for Me

I worked out twice last week, and that felt great. Maybe that's how the happy pound came off! I also found a way to give in to my chocolate chip cookie fix - I bought those Pillsbury break-apart ones in the refrigerator section and I take one at a time (2 pts.), put it in a small bown and micro for only 20 seconds (learned that one the hard way). That bakes it perfectly and then I add a tiny scoop of lite vanilla ice cream on top (1 pt.). Yum!

Goals for This Week

Well, I got the soup, Mom, and I'm going to try it. I have already worked out three times this week and plan to keep it up everyday. I've done well with my eating plan, except I just ate a piece of pumpkin bread that was actually disgusting and not worth the points! My main goal this week is the exercise, I think. Only 12 weeks 'til beach time - EEEEEK!

If any of you have anything inspirational (by way of weight loss) to pass my way, I'd love to hear it!

Nice job losing the "happy pound"...I think you sent it my way. That's awesome that you were able to exercise! I wish I had something inspirational to say, but the only behavior modification stuff that comes to mind has to do with porn (I have quite a few of those clients right now). Good luck with your exercise goals and take some beano before you eat the soup!

Awesome! I'm glad you were able to lose the "happy pound." I hope I do as well tomorrow!

One thing that has been inspiring to me is watching "The Biggest Loser" show. They are totally committed to the process. Of course they are away from the real world, but I would be happy if I could have one quarter of their commitment!

Hope you have a good week and good luck!
