By Cari, on July 13th, 2010% I’ve been struggling lately with evening munchies. Not out of hunger but boredom, routine, etc. Using points (weekly) because they were there, not because I was hungry. So Saturday I said enough is enough – not using them on munchies. Saturday, I was good. Sunday, not so good. 36.5 points, most of which were on nonsense.
So yesterday I rebounded, resolved. I went to the gym after leaving work late and got home a little after 9 pm. Quick shower, and then smoothie. Almost immediately after smoothie I got the taste for “anything and everyting” and opened the fridge. I . . . → Keep Going: NSV: Evening munchies
By Cari, on July 10th, 2010% Dad and I Fathers’ Day
well not really, I’m doing WW for me which is why I’m going to be successful – but today I was going it for Dad. Today is four years that Dad is gone and in the past, I might have “toasted” his memory with food. I’m not going to lie – I might have done the same today if I could find “Dots” which were his favorite candy – but not to excess.
Dad had a sweet tooth but after his heart attack in 1996, he changed his eating habits, started to exercise and . . . → Keep Going: Doing this for Dad
By Cari, on July 3rd, 2010% 15, not 28. Oops.
Yeah, oops. I WI this morning and I’m up Point Two. In my head, I was getting huffy and indignant “but I was 100% OP this week. This isn’t fair”. .2 is not a big deal, but I didn’t understand it, and then I started thinking. Tail end of TOM, and pretzels. Yeah, pretzels. EVIL pretzels.
I realized I’d polished off two bags in one week (really Sat – Thur as I won’t touch them on the eve of WI. When I got home, I re-checked the NI to see how many servings there were per . . . → Keep Going: an “OP” revelation
By Cari, on June 27th, 2010% actually, 4.5 is not a good AP count for me for a weekend day when I have more time to spend at the gym, but I was so sore from yesterday that I wasn’t even sure what I could do – so this was better than nothing.
I did 60m on the recumbent bike and didn’t feel markedly worse than I normally do when done – tush still numb and legs tingly after. It was slightly less distance – 10.25 miles vs. 10.6 or so but that’s OK. I made sure to stretch really well after.
It’s my abs that . . . → Keep Going: 13 APs is a good start to the week
By Cari, on June 26th, 2010% no, those two are not connected. The scale did not attack me.
First of a gajillion errands today was WI. Really wasn’t sure what to expect as I hadn’t been on the scale since Tuesday night the night after the Jolly Joe’s. I ate much better later in the week, but didn’t know if I had undone the damage since I also hadn’t been to the gym since Tuesday. Saturday 11am meeting also had a very different vibe than Wednesday evening. Still think I’m meeting shopping.
Down 1.4. Happy with that. Means I’m at 171.4 and 37.6 total since March . . . → Keep Going: Good WI and WOW I’m sore
By Cari, on June 22nd, 2010% the devil I tell ya.
One of my immediate changes that I made when I started WW in March was to quit the candy habit. I’d gotten into the very bad habit every weekday of buying a a large box of Hot Tamales or a large bag of Sour Patch Kids and eating them. EVERY AFTERNOON. No wonder I gained the weight I did in the early part of this year and end of 2009. That and the cookie dough habit.
When I joined WW in March I said “that’s it, no more” mainly because I knew I could never . . . → Keep Going: Jolly Joes are the devil
By Cari, on June 20th, 2010% Guld of Mexico 1999
Doubt it, but it would be nice. The better question is of course why I thought I was “fat” then. No idea what I weighed, but I love how I looked.
At the moment this is the “goal” I’m working towards.
March 1999. Gulf of Mexico off Clearwater, Florida
By Cari, on June 15th, 2010% me, in a Medium shirt
WOW I’m actually trying to get a colleague to take a photo because I can’t believe it. I’m also wearing a pair of pants that I’d been unable to get into for a while and there’s no muffin top. WOW WOW WOW. My shirt size is decreasing faster than pants size – love these cute tops I got at Kohls. Makes me wish I’d kept some of the M tops I had when I lost the weight in college.
I bought four tops and I’m keeping three – pretty impressive for not being able . . . → Keep Going: a Medium shirt? Me? Wow
By Cari, on June 13th, 2010% short week because I changed my WI from Tues AM (at home) to Saturday mornings (meetings). Of course Saturday turned into Sunday due to traveling yesterday so I was *thrilled* to find out I weighed in at 174.4, 1.7 down from what I had been at home Tuesday morning. Weds PM, my first meeting was similar weight allowing for clothes.
Impressive was this came on the heals of a graduation party yesterday after which I found wheat thins were not the friend I thought they would be. Better than tortilla chips? Yes. Good? Eh. I bypassed buckeye balls (a favorite) . . . → Keep Going: a loss on a short week
By Cari, on June 8th, 2010% WP AP Chart 6.8.2010
So looking at the chart, maybe it’s not a perfect marriage between APs and WPs. The week ending May 17th was an aberration, however. Big, salty meal the night before WI so I’m willing to write that one off.
The first couple of weeks I didn’t have an HRM but I did my best to track APs. I think the one thing that’s clear is that eating WPs or not have absolutely no bearing on my weight loss.
Last week I operated under the theory that I had 28 WPs because I was pretty much . . . → Keep Going: so maybe it’s not as clear as I thought
