Tuesday Dec 29/09 Day 7 of 30 Day Shred
Exercise: Day 7 of 30 Day Shred - yeah! did it today! And did Level 3!! very proud. I really only did level 4 because I couldn't bare doing the ones I've already done. but it was probably a good idea since I haven't done it in 2 days so better to do the toughest one.
I want to call today Day 1 of getting back on plan however I'm going for drinks with a friend and then to a party! so planning on eating well and less and focusing on drinks but it may not be the best day. And I'm totally stressing about NYE and everything else in my life. feeling down in the dumps for no real reason but can't shake it. might just be winter blahs! but feeling old now when I can't find many friends to go out and do it up!
One step at a time. One day at a time. Just need to keep exercising and eating well and I'm sure i'll feel better just by doing that. doesn't help that i'm up in weight.
Breakfast: egg whites, 2 laughing cow, veggies, 2 bread, applesauce w/bran and flax, vitamins, teas, water (5)
Lunch: lean cuisine panini, drunken beans (new fav treat) diet gingerale (7) - was trying to eat healthy but feeling lazy and have done well this morning. as long as i'm w/in my points who cares. can't be perfect on day 1.
Drinks with Jen - had sparkling rose - did good!
Dinner/Drinks: had sushi thank god! T kept me on track. could have made healthier sushi choices but still not bad!! (9)
Day 1 of NOT EATING Crap when I drink, no late night eating. normal healthy eating day but with some drinks!!!
this is going to be my new years resolution. 1 of many but NO EATING WHEN DRINKING OR AFTER except healthy dinners.
Total so far: 21 plus drinks

Friday Dec 25/09 Day 0 of 30 Day Shred
didn't fit in Day 5 of Shred - I will have to do tomorrow.
Best laid plans. got to mom and dad's and felt bad not to eat her nice quiche and pear, walnut, blue cheese salad - how bad could it be right... oh 23pts!!! argh. only did it not to hurt my mom's feelings and put my goals second and look what happens.
so... also broke second cardinal rule... once i broke that dish.. why not break all my china and eat 3 helpings of xmas dinner!! nice.
So had 400 pts for xmas. I wouldn't mind if i hadn't eaten a bunch of crap at matt and christine's parties early in the week.
need to work on all of this!
1) don't eat for others, it's only food, who cares if others aren't happy about it
2) don't break all dishes.. i could have had sensible dinner after bigger points breakfast
3) and i have to learn not to eat when drinking or after drinking.. just remembering that i ate after drinking at matts. argh!!!

back from montreal and halifax. I did very good in montreal but not as good in halifax. feeling like i'm back up a bit. This is going to be brutal with the christmas season coming.
I really just want to get off the last 8lbs or so to hit top of my range and tighten up my butt and abs and I'd be pretty happy with things. I definitely am noticing a lot of great changes in my body. things are looking way better than i thought! so a little more to come off to get rid of that unhealthy belly fat and some abs and butt exercises and I'm solid gold. This saturday's weigh in is not going to be pretty. And I was planning on being really good today and tomorrow and now have a little party to go to tonight and all i want to do is go out drinking!!!
Breakfast: mint tea, regular tea, oatmeal (2)
Lunch at Aqua: salmon with no butters or oils, veggies, green salad (8)
Dinner: 6inch turkey sub (7)
Drinks
Total: 17 (leaves 4 points for drinks - as if!!)

Sunday 11 Oct 2009
Back from MIP and was down to my lowest yesterday! how exciting! have finally broken plateau. 157.6!! It's a mip miracle!
Did my measurements again and am down inches in the waist, hips and bust! yippee!
I also measured that i'm 5"5'. Thought I was 5"4'. So this puts me at my range of 150lbs to 120lbs. This is much better than 146- 117. I'm only 7.6lbs away from healthy range! woohooo!
I can knock off 7.6lbs this month if i focus.
Now that marathon is over just want to work on tightening everything up - butt, abs, arms.
Off to thanksgiving today.
Am going to bring shrimp and veggies and dip and diet pop and a 2pt dessert for me.
dinner should be pretty easy.
going for a hike with family so that will also account for something.
have bad cold unfortunatley but happy to be home and inspired by weight loss! love all my new clothes too! fun times!

Back to Basics Saturday Sept 12/09 - deadines 7/15/20
Okay, so I was up 2.2lbs today!
Lame Excuses: it's still been a crazy week at work, socially, out for dinner late last night, ate late... bla bla bla...
Other complaints:
1) I'm also a bit freaked because my whole plan was to be at our near my goal for next weekend for a shopping trip in the states prior to mip. and of course, i'm not even near my goal so i don't want to buy much that I might have to throw away when I get closer to goal plus it was a present to myself for reaching my goal or close. Deadline: 7 days away
2) The whole point of doing a marathon was to help me reach my goal. Although its another accomplishment... i just wanted to get to goal... i wanted to be at goal on race day. Deadline: 15 days away
3) Then I would be at my goal for Mip with some nice new clothes and feeling great. Deadline: 20 days away
4) We had talked about trying to get pregnant after MIP, get the drinking out of the way, be at goal for a bit while trying. And its been really important to me to get the weight off prior for a healthier pregnancy, to make it much easier to lose the baby weight after, not baby weight and extra weight, to feel good while pregnant etc... i hate to push this off for the weight loss.
Moving Forward: I know what to do. I've done it before. I just need to be committed and put it before drinking and eating, social life etc. I can't change the deadlines or the lack of progress but I can get a move on. So that's what I'm going to do... Going back to basics, no drinking until Mip, following plan (21pts daily), measuring, tracking, planning week in advance and getting back to running 5 days a week not 1 like I've done the last 2 weeks. Done. I'm actually feeling really good today and inspired, not depressed which is great. Went shopping and bought lots of healthy groceries, food for the week, sparkling water and limes, will make eating a nice experience, nice presentation.
Today:
Breakfast: tea, oatmeal (2)
Exercise: 4km run give or take - getting the legs moving again
Snack: 6 turkey slices (2)
Lunch: Amy's Indian Palak Paneer - love it!! (5)
Snack: weight watchers canned soup 1cup, popcorn, diet gingerale, crackers, 3 x laughing cow (4) Dinner: shrimp 1 cup (2), 1/4c cocktail sauce (1), soda with lime and lemon and mint leaf (0), pork tenderloin (5), 1/2c carrot/parsnip/potato mash (1), salad w/ 30g feta (2), 2tsp oil (2): (13)

actually, i ate well saturday except for dinner club which i don't mind.
but yesterday ate all day... yummy leftovers.
So need to get back to it today.
Breakfast: leftover chickpea salad (can't stop) and toast with laughing cow and becel (5.5)
Run: 37km's today - ahhhh! don't want to go, want to relax but it will be a fun adventure!! burned 2500 calories.
On run: gatorade and gels - probably 8 points worth - not counting - will be a wash with the run, and otherwise makes it depressing.
Lunch: had best intentions but ended up on patio near water: diet coke, caesar salad, wrap, bites of fish and chips, shared calamari (??) no idea but definitely not as good as I planned.
Snacks: bran flakes, veggies and dip (3)
Total: ?? no idea.

Was very excited to weigh in this morning to see my progress since i've been starving for days... and was up a bit. I swear to God.. i'm going to lose it. Good thing is a feel good... feel tighter, feel hungry, feel skinnier so am ignorning. But I wanted to be at 160 by friday (2 days from now) and am still at 164- this 164 plateau is haunting me... I wanted to be at 160 to stay on track hitting goal when I do my marathon... and was on track until last week when I was up instead of down... but i've been on plan all week.... so god damn it... anyway.. 4lbs in 2 days is not realistic... all i can do is try my best. but honest go god.. if it doesn't move i will lose it... i can't keep training for a marathon, follow ww, skip out on drinks with friends, not eat sushi, yadayadayada and not see results... whats the point. the hard part is that the usual way to shake up a plateau is to change your exercise - but i'm in the midst of training for a marathon... its hard to do that. i feel like i would no better what to eat and do if i stopped exercising all togehter and just at my 22pts everyday... i probably wouldn't have any problems... very very annoying!
Anyway, I'm going to try not to throw the baby out with the bathwater...
Today will be trickier because it's a holiday but need to eat like any other day and stick to the plan!!!

Friday, June 12/09 - lost 3lbs!!
Yeah!! Lost 3lbs from my horrific weigh in last week. If I start thinking that I really only lost 3 becuase I was up so much I'm gonna go crazy.. considering i'm up 12lbs from my lowest in february! but it doesn't matter. one week at a time, one day at a time.. I'm very happy to be moving back down again! All i have to do is eat my 24pts each day, stick to my 31 flex pts (4 being used in the 24pts) and doing my running and I will be at my goal on race day! How cool is that!!! Its really quite simple in theory. As KH said... I feel stupid I havent done it already!! but its not that easy thats why. but we can do it.
So as you can see, my weigh ins are on friday for the rest of my weight loss plan so i can have a few drinks friday night and not play games on the scale when I'm up or down after drinking and eating on friday night. and can't really drink saturday night with the running sunday morning.
So I haven't really started my cash for good behavior plan but will now. really i just need help eating healthy on the weekend, saving my points for drinks, and less so, sticking to my points during the week and doing my running. i'm better at that during the week.
Today
Breakfast: tea, oatbran, cinnamon, splenda, 1/2 banana (3)
Snack: 1c berries, 1/2c yog, flax, bran (3)
Lunch: 1/2c brown rice, meatballs, veggies, cottage cheese, arugula, fat free dressing (6)

wed june 10/09 - must put weight loss first!!
i see that yesterdays goal was to continue to stay focused... but then i skipped my run and had 5 glasses of wine. good god! I don't mind a little wine and changing over my workouts from tuesd to thursday but really... is that pulling out all the stops! i just dont have the motivation i had before. and right now i feel stressed and overwhelmed at work. the running is a huge commitment and my social life is taking up a lot of time so i'm not focusing. if all i was doing was running and weight loss it would be easier.. but work and social life is taking my focus away and the running is a huge commitment. i'm really enjoying it though which is good... there's just not enough time in the day for everything.
so i need to focus on regrouping everyday and still putting weight loss before work stress, i have to find a way to put work on second. and if i have to cancel some social stuff to take it easy.. then i do... not forever.. but just until i feel i can handle it... work is never going to go away and i certainly don't want to lose my job but i have to find a way to delegate, organize myself and say no or push things out. i have to find a way to cope with it.
and i will do that, second to weight loss though. i will organize my weight loss and running needs daily and then my work. and social will get pushed if need be. and frankly i'm comfortably exhausted from the running so don't really care if i miss certain things.
okay... on to today!
Breakfast: 3 ryvita, fat free cr cheese, tomato, basil, salt and pepper, 2 teas (3) - eating on the run to a meeting
Snack: missed it during meetings
Lunch Meeting: turkey and cheese wrap, side greek salad, diet coke (10)
Snack: missed in meetings
Exercise: was miserable and stressed so didn't think i could even do the run but I DID and feel WAY better for it. must remember this. T talked me into going for the run and we could stop anytime... and it definitely got easier. sooooo glad I did it. Did 10km run and burned 800 calories!! woo hoo!! pace was 6:20/km and sort of did 12 and 6s. did the best i could do today and it definitely reinvigorated me.
Dinner: Sushi - yeah. counted out my points prior so i would eat within my points. proud of me!! salad, 1 roll, 1 handroll, 5 nigiri, spicy mayo on side (10)
Total: 23 - yippee!!! good girl. big run and good points - using 1AP.

Tuesday June 2/09 - pulling out all the stops
Definitely felt full all day yesterday. All the filling foods are helping! Definitely takes cravings away as you get full too. The treat foods don't seem to pull as strongly once I'm satiated.
Exercise: walk to work, tea, vitamin
Breakfast at work: 1c oatmeal, 1tsp honey, splash almond milk, half banana, vitamins (4)
Lunch: 1c cottage cheese, 2 ww bread, veggies, fat free dressing (4)
Snack: 2pt ww pretzels, lentils, 2 ryvita, 2 laughing cow, tomato, basil, salt and pepper, water (4) Run with Marathon Group: 6km tempo pace (5:50/km but we did 5:38/km - yeah baby) (-2AP) - almost killed poor T
Dinner: weight watchers recipe for shepperds pie (yum!), collard greens sauteed with 1tsp oil and garlic, leftover fish and veg (9)
Total: 21 - didn't use my activity points either. didn't eat dinner til 8:30pm after we got back from run so and lesson with marathon group so was too full to eat latenight snacks! this is awesome. i feel stuffed all day and am eating within my points. boy... the filling foods really work - pathetic i didn't catch on to this a long time ago. Always felt like I eat healthy but throw in the lean cuisines and portable snacks just for ease... but this is amazing.
Also am setting myself up for success because we are running most nights and lots on the weekends so is really cutting down on my opportunity to snack and to drink.
i envisioned my goal speach yesterday... that i lost 30lbs, then hit a year plateau, went on vacation and was inspired by all my magazines to eat all superfoods (spinach, salmon, oatmeal, dark berries, yogurt, etc) when I got back, at the same time i had just registered for marathon training, and hubby is working from home so can help make a healthy dinner or two which helps me take fresh foods instead of packaged, and the weight just fell off... and i hit goal in a matter of months! Bam!! Love it.... I'm sure that's one of the WW storyboard tools or whatever... envisioning success! I also read a thing about running... that if you are having a hard time forcing yourself to exercise or finishing a race, or whatever in life... you should envision yourself doing it with all your senses. What would it smell like when you are out running, what would your clothes feel like as you are getting dressed to workout. how thirsty will you be when you are done, or if you plan on eating healthy, how will that egg white omelette and toast taste, hear the crunch of whole wheat bread... and this is supposed to make it that much easier to achieve your goals.
good times!

Wed May 27th in DR
As each day goes by I'm feeling more and more motivated which is good. I hope its just like getting back on the wagon, a few slips here and there but getting easier.
Also we worked out today first thing in the am and it just sets a great tone for the rest of the day. You want to keep things healthy.
My rule for myself today was... forget my new pay structure... i was going to pay myself 20$ to stay within my points and thats it. Also, i can't have any other money from previous in the week if I don't stay within my points for the next few days. I had to up the ante as it wasn't making me stay within my points. this may have to be the new structure. we'll see. it sure has motivated me to work out throughout the day here and there but the eating is the most important.
I also came up with a great idea for my drinking snacking. I was thinking that I have to give up drinking for one month if I latenight snack after drinking. And I also have to stay within my points (no flex pts allowed otherwise it will be too confusing) the day after drinking. My two problems. This may be too much but I would also like to add that i have to workout the day of and the day after drinking just to work off the extra calories.
If i could stay within my points daily (20$ lets say) and have to give up drinking for a month if I latenight drunk snack, and get right back on the wagon the next day with 22pts and a mini-workout... that would pretty much solve my plateau issues! Thats all it is. Well maybe its not addressing my flex points issue... i find them hard to use properly. i tend to binge on the weekend then have none left for the week. and i find using them just for drinking hard. okay... i'll think about that one. but i like my 15pts treats/drinks, 20pts healthy/drinks.
As for today, weather was nice, cloudy but which meant it wasn't hot so was great. hung out on the beach and read magazines all day. I swear it would be hard to get sick of this. the only thing I think i'm getting tired of is the food. i realize i like making my own healthy food and snacks. i'm limited by the hours of the restaurant for healthy snacks. and the food is good here and they have about 5 different restaurants and a buffet but i have to fight to make the best choice every meal where at home I can make my own. plus i can eat more at home for less points.
other than that its pretty good reading magazines all day.
Exercise: did an interval exercise i read about and we loved it. Ts new favorite. Do 5 minute warm up jog on treadmill (or you can use eliptical etc), then do 45sec sprint, 45sec light jog, then add 15secs for 1min sprint, 1min jog until you get to 1min30secs, then go backwards. took us only about 20mins and we were sweating bullets! it's physically difficult but feels mentally very easy becuase they are short intervals. i read that every expert says that is the best way to burn off fat. good times! (about 250calories)
Breakfast: actually was syched to have bran flakes, yog and fruit but they were out this morning so had yog, fruit, and egg white omellette with some cheese (skipped my toast and juice to make up for cheese). (6)
Snack: mango (1) - yum
Lunch: salad, fish, chicken, shrimp, veggies (6) - had a second helping and regretted it becuase i was stuffed after
did 2 laps around pool and 10 chin ups to help burn it off
Snack: tea, all bran snack bites, crackers (2)
played in pool for a bit to burn some extra calories.
Dinner: 7pts left come hell or high water! so gotta use them wisely. going to seaside grill and i know they have shrimp cocktail and then will order fish and veggies (7), will drink lots of water, diet coke and mint tea, green tea - I did it!! i had shrimp cocktail, half my salmon, some veg and a mini roll with a bit of butter. (7)
Total: 22 and 20$ god damn it!!

This may be too much but I would also like to add that i have to workout the day of and the day after drinking just to work off the extra calories.
If i could stay within my points daily (20$ lets say) and have to give up drinking for a month if I latenight drunk snack, and get right back on the wagon the next day with 22pts and a mini-workout... that would pretty much solve my plateau issues! Thats all it is. Well maybe its not addressing my flex points issue... i find them hard to use properly. i tend to binge on the weekend then have none left for the week. and i find using them just for drinking hard. okay... i'll think about that one. but i like my 15pts treats/drinks, 20pts healthy/drinks.
As for today, weather was nice, cloudy but which meant it wasn't hot so was great. hung out on the beach and read magazines all day. I swear it would be hard to get sick of this. the only thing I think i'm getting tired of is the food. i realize i like making my own healthy food and snacks. i'm limited by the hours of the restaurant for healthy snacks. and the food is good here and they have about 5 different restaurants and a buffet but i have to fight to make the best choice every meal where at home I can make my own. plus i can eat more at home for less points.
other than that its pretty good reading magazines all day.
Exercise: did an interval exercise i read about and we loved it. Ts new favorite. Do 5 minute warm up jog on treadmill (or you can use eliptical etc), then do 45sec sprint, 45sec light jog, then add 15secs for 1min sprint, 1min jog until you get to 1min30secs, then go backwards. took us only about 20mins and we were sweating bullets! it's physically difficult but feels mentally very easy becuase they are short intervals. i read that every expert says that is the best way to burn off fat. good times! (about 250calories)
Breakfast: actually was syched to have bran flakes, yog and fruit but they were out this morning so had yog, fruit, and egg white omellette with some cheese (skipped my toast and juice to make up for cheese). (6)
Snack: mango (1) - yum
Lunch: salad, fish, chicken, shrimp, veggies (6) - had a second helping and regretted it becuase i was stuffed after
did 2 laps around pool and 10 chin ups to help burn it off
Snack: tea, all bran snack bites, crackers (2)
played in pool for a bit to burn some extra calories.
Dinner: 7pts left come hell or high water! so gotta use them wisely. going to seaside grill and i know they have shrimp cocktail and then will order fish and veggies (7), will drink lots of water, diet coke and mint tea, green tea - I did it!! i had shrimp cocktail, half my salmon, some veg and a mini roll with a bit of butter. (7)
Total: 22 and 20$ god damn it!!
