A fresh start!

I weighed-in today, and got the result i expected. I am not letting it bring me down though!

I got all my new materials to start the PointsPlus program, and sooo excited! WOOT. I got my new calculator, and i even used it in the grocery store today. FUN! :) I am really excited that fruit is free. I like bananas before a workout, but they dont really fill me up so I didnt want to use the points. Now I can have a banana before every workout! Hopefully, this will encourage me to eat alot more fruit now.

P.s.- I made my spaghetti squash last night. SO weird. I tried it with sauce and parmesan cheese. I could eat it, but I dont think I would make it again. I had a hard time getting past the texture, which is weird because I love squash. Maybe it was just the concept I didnt like?

Thts all for now! MWAH<3
AC

Cookie dough? Oh, no!

I just ate two spoonfuls of cookie dough right from the fridge. Now i have a belly ache. I deserved it 100% (the belly ache that is). Why do I do STUPID crap like that? I even regret it during, but I just keep on shoving calories and sugar and fat in there! I love this time of year, but its torture!

On a more positive note, I went to spinning last night, and plan on going again tomorrow. Gym tonight as well. I hate getting up and going to the gym, but I love the feeling of being wiped out after a hard workout. As someone once said, no one ever regrets working out, but we do regret not working out.

Also, making spaghetti squash for dinner! This is a first for me. Im prettttyy excited!
Weigh-in tomorrow. Something I am definitely dreading. I am going to be WAY up. EEK! I AM excited to learn about the new program though. I hope this is going to be the little shove I need to get back on track. I am kind of bored with the old WW program, so something fresh and new will be exciting.

Off to check on my squash!!!
A.C.

Oh boy, Its that time of year again...

Its that time of year again. You know, where a little bit of panic sets in? As we speak, there are chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven, and more on the table in front of me. My Christmas baking/stuffing my face gets started a little earlier than most because my family has a Christmas party the week before. I am desperately trying to lose a few lbs, because weigh-in is next week and as I said before, I am WAY up. Keep on keepin' on I suppose.

On a POSITIVE :) note. I went to SPIN CLASS at my new gym last night! It was FANTASTIC and I left there feeling like a million bucks. Dont get me wrong, it was TOUGH. Luckily I took my mom along with, and she and I are slightly competitive. I couldnt let her show me up! I was drenched in sweat, and feeling as fabulous as ever. I am not sore today, but my tushy hurts from the seat. Ha. CANT WAIT TO GET BACK THERE!!!!!!!! :)

..I smell smoke. BYE!

AC

I need a kick in the tush.

I am in serious need of some motivation here people!
I started tracking again today. I am already dreading weigh-in next week. I was WAY up last time, and that was BEFORE my trip to GA. I am trying to stay on plan during the weekends, but its so hard. There is always someone who wants to go out to eat, or to the bar, etc. Also, my work schedule is SABOTAGING ME! I get home at 3am and im STARVING. For those of you who dont know, I am a bartender. I have to eat before work, and then after. When I get home, I am FAMISHED. Any suggestions?????

I missed my spin class tonight because of a stupid exam today. Hopefully, I will make it tomorrow.
Thats all for now. MWAH :)
<3

Lolz

I posted this picture once before, but I am posting it because it gives me the giggles.

Happy Wednesday!

Signed up at my new gym today. CANT WAIT to start spinning classes :)

NEW WW?!?!!

Can anyone tell me about the new WW program? I dont go to weigh in for a couple weeks yet, and I want to know what its all about!

p.s.- was WAY up at weigh in a few weeks ago. I honestly think something was up with the scale ( and no thats not an excuse) because I was exactly the same on my scale at home. :-/

Joining a new gym this week. They have CYCLING! FINALLY! My old gym didnt have any good classes. Im hoping going to some classes, and mixing up my routine will help me get my TUSH in GEAR! Thats all for now :)

Ughhh. I need a breakkk!

I am exhausteddd.



I took two days off from working out because I am so beat! There are not enough hours in the day to get everything I need done. I am looking forward to having off for winter break. It cant come fast enough!

I am definitely concerned about my workouts though. I started Insanity, but i dont follow the plan to a T because its SO HARD! OMG! Over break, I am really going to get my crap together. I am going to eat great, and workout hard.



Monday I am headed down to Georgia! WOOHOOO! Finally a vacation! I am going to enjoy every minuteeee! And Im going to eat SOME OF THOSE. Pralines. MMM. They make me a happppyyy girl. :)

WW weigh in on Saturday. Wish me luckkkk!

The INSANITY Begins!

So I just finished Day 3 of the Insanity program. I grunted, groaned, and moaned my way through three whole days so far!

The first day was the Fit test. You do a series of exercise, and track the number of exercise you can do in a minute. Lets just say I was ready to throwww up! It was TOUGH. Day 2 wasnt too bad, but i had to take more breaks than suggested. Even the people in the video were collapsing on the floor! HOW am I supposed to keep up!??! ha.
Soreness and all, I pushed through Day 3 today. It was tough, and i sweated like no other. I think it may be the kick in the butt that I need.

Hoping it will help me drop a few before my upcoming trip to Georgia! Cant waittt to see my friends!

P.s. I wore my winter jacket for the first time yesterday. I dont like this.

INSANITYYY

Its been a superrr long time since Ive posted, but ive got exciting news!
I am starting the Insanity program tomorrow!

Anyone have any advice for me?!?!
Im scared I wont be able to stick with it!

Happy August!

Its been awhile since ive updated, because I think it means finally admitting my failures.
I weighed in yesterday at WW, and i was up 1lb. 1lb is not really a big deal for me during the summer because i'm just so busy. Getting out of my routine is such a trigger for overeating for me. Considering last summer I gained 10lbs, I think I can deal with 1. I would like to lose about 6 more lbs, but I can wait until school starts. When school comes around, I am on more of a schedule and its easier for me to lose.
I would like to be at my ultimate goal by next summer, which is about 9lbs away for me. That doesnt seem like a lot, but it takes me foreverrrr to lose a little bit.

I experienced a bit of heartbreak this week, and I scared myself because I found myself obviously trying to shove down my feelings with food. I went out to dinner with a family member, and I ate things I would never eat, in amounts that I would never eat...
It SCARED me.... :( I wish I was one of those people who couldnt eat when they were upset.

I think im going to start weighing in every other week again. I need some sort of weigh-in schedule to keep me on track during the weekends.

Thats all for now.
A.C. <3

Vacationnnn

I just spent the last week in Georgia, snacking on pralines and such.
Scary weigh-in to come....
:-/

Weigh-in

I weighed in yesterday at 152. I was hoping for less, but there were a few factors that could have affected it.
I think its pretty good considering I was on vacation for about 2 weeks total between weigh-ins. I'm satisfied with it.

Going to keep on trying to get down below 150, i'm determined!

I leave for Georgia in about a week, and im hoping I can keep it together down there. I doubt that I will get to workout, and its the south! Im concerned about alllll the delish food :)

Thats all for now!
AC

SLACKER!

Oh man, its been awhile since Ive updated this thing. All is well in my life right now.In fact, I have had a few big accomplishments in the past few weeks. Here they are:

1. Ive done something that i havent done in months. I went two whole weekends and two weeks without a binge. I may have gone over my points a few times, but it never turned into a pig out session for me! This is a HUGE accomplishment. The pig outs were the reason that stupid scale wouldnt move.
2. I walked around a water park in my bathing suit, for the whole day, and couldnt care less about my jiggle.
3. I went out on 2 dates this week. A huge step since my "life shattering" breakup. ha.
4. I am starting to know what body confidence feels like. And i really, really, really am liking it :)

As for the negative, because im so close to goal, im really slacking! I didnt workout yesterday because there was just no time before work. So i promised myself that i would run today...Well, no run for me. I decided to go to the best friends house and lounge around in her pool. (its a hot one today!!) I would still like to lose about 7 lbs. I havent weighed in at WW for like a month or so, so this is the week to weigh in. Im thinking possibly tuesday or wednesday.

I start dance class this week, and I cant wait! I danced in middle school and high school, and quit when i got to college. I always felt like something was missing from my life, and now its back! So excited! Its exercise without going to the gym.

Thats all for now
<3A.C.

Why do I do this to myself!?!

I wish I could buy willpower. I certainly would pay a pretty penny for it...

I have been doing fine during the week, but on the weekend I have such a hard time staying on track! The weekends are when most of my social life occurs, and there is always food!
This weekened I went to the OCNJ to visit a friend who is living there for the summer. Well, I started off with the best intentions, and ended up eating everything possible!
I practically grew up at the beach, so the boardwalk has tons and tons of trigger foods for me. Its the food I always ate on vacation. Its usually fried, or cheesy, or covered in sugar. I love it. All of it. The problem is I also drank, and didnt work out. I am probably up 3 lbs since my last weigh in at WW, so this week I am cracking down. Workouts everyday, tracking everythhinggg.
I know exactly how I feel sunday night, but I still do it!!!

I went to a wedding yesterday, and I have to say that I really liked the way I looked, but I am still looking to drop about 10 lbs. Then I think I will be very satisfied.
As soon as I lose this 3 lbs, Im going to start weighing in every week again. The accountability of having to weigh in in front of someone else always keeps me on track.

Thats all for now!
Enjoy your week:)
A.C.<3

Back to the real world.

I'm home from vacation! It was amazinggggg.


Amazing places.


Amazing people.


Amazing fun.


Amazing drinks.


Amazing..food.


..I mean like really, really, really amazing food.


And im sure the scale would show it, but I refuse to get on. I only worked out one day, when I said I would do two or three. I am going to workout for a few days, and then get on the scale. Maybe it will help lessen the blow a bit.. :-/



..but I had an AWESOME time, and thats all that matters in my opinion. :D


Thats all for now!


A.C. <3

UPDATE******

I gained 4.5 lbs....:(

thats alotttttttttttttt. ugh. back to tracking, and working out!

Vacation here I come!

I leave for vacation tomorrow, actually in about 6 hours! I am alreadyyyy stressing about the amount of food and drink I am going to be surrounded by. Ughhh.
I made a promise to myself that I would work out three times while on vacation, but now Im striving for two. It doesnt seem like a lot, but it will help shave off some of those calories Ill be consuming. I believe on vacation, you should be able to let go a little bit because its VACATION!

Ill be wearing the new bathing suit and im a bit nervous about it :-/ I want to get to a point where I dont care what any one else thinks. I want to strut my stuff in that bathing suit!

Tomorrow is going to be a longggg day. I am leaving for the airport at 330am!!! EEK. Flight leaves at 6 from phillyyyy. Hopefully ill be soaking up the sun by 2pm :)

Enjoy your week everyone, and ill see you in 8 days!!

A.C.<3

0.8- I'll take it :-/

So i was down 0.8lb today. Im glad the scale moved, but its not what I was hoping for. I worked out very hard this week, and even went running twice.

I made it to Lifetime today, so now i only have to weigh in once a month. Which I think will be good because i can have a little bit of freedom on a weekend if i would like. My friends are coming home from college and i would like to be able to enjoy being 21 for a bit!

I have 2.4lbs to make it to my vacation goal, and i dont think ill make it. Thats alot of work for me now that im at this weight. Thats like a *perfecttt* week of food and exercise, and who has time for perfect? Not me.

P.S.- I treated myself to a fabulous new bathing suit for vacation :) Pics to come after vacayyy :)

A.C. <3

Bad weekend for me!

Yet again, I have let the weekend get the best of me. I took a trip to the beach this weekend to visit some family, and I found myself eating whatever i wanted. Its so hard for me to stay on track when i have been taken out of my normal setting/routine. This is soo frustrating, because its what is keeping me from really losing! I know exactly what to do, and not do, but I seem to just forget everything I know. Today I am back home. I am going to get right back on track. I am headed to the gym shortly, and am going to put in a good, hard workout. I will have more time for planning and working out now because my last day of school is Wednesday. WOOHOO!

Also, this week I missed weigh in. :( I weigh in on friday mornings right before class at 10. However, the main road to my WW location was closed, and I spent 15 minutes trying to find a way around the closed road! Well, I didnt, and finally gave up because I was going to be veryyy late for class. I hate missing a meeting, because I hate not knowing where I am at on the scale. This week Im going to work very hard to ensure a good weigh in this week.

I have two weeks til vacation, and 3 lbs to go!
Wish me luck!

P.s.- It feels like summer today :)


A.C.<3

Run Run RUNN!!!

Today my mom asked me to go running with her at this nice park by our house, and i was reluctant to say yes. Its freeezzingg today, and im not the biggest running fan. I went last week and did 4.5, and it made me feel really good. I'm not sure why I didnt say yes right away.

I finally gave in and went with her, and actually enjoyed myself! I pushed my body pretty hard and ended up doing 3 loops, 1ishh mile each. I was surprised that I rarely stopped, and if i did, it was only for a few feet. I always worry that im not running far enough to burn the same calories i burn at the gym. I burn anywhere from 500-600 at the gym on the elliptical and treadmill, and i think i only burn about 120 a mile when i run. I think i ran about3, so =360.
Im soooo desperate to get that 1.6 off that i gained in the last 2 weigh ins, and thats not going to be enough to do so.

The reason im worried is that I ended up drinking quite abit last weekend, and had a donut and 3 oreos to polish off my drunk night :-/ Being 21 is BAD NEWS!!!!
Then the next day i did not count. I didnt go crazy, but i didnt count either. Its so frustrating when i do this because I KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES. I KNOW WHAT HAPPENS ON THE SCALE! and im soo determinded to get to my goal, but sometimes i go back to my old ways and binge on the weekends! I completely sabotage myself, and undo all the hardwork i put in at the gym all week long.

I wont make it to the gym tomorrow because wednesdays are crazy for me.
I will be spending my day studying for my LAST ANATOMY PRACTICAL EVERR!! :)
I am really glad that stress does not cause me to eat more. Maybe it does, but I dont give into those kinds of cravings. I have definitely stopped eating because of emotions...

Thats all for now!
Ill be back on friday with a weigh in update...EEEK. Wish me luck!!

A.C.<3

WEIGH IN

I worked my butt of everyday at the gym this week, and guess what?!

UP 0.2. HOW FRUSTRATING!
The only thing i can think of is that its almost my TOM. Hopefully it will come off next week.

I had another milestone this week: I wore shorts to the gym for the first time.
I have always avoided shorts because of the fear of the dreaded jiggle (GASP). But i walked right in there in my short shorts :)
GO ME :)

Going out tonight to visit some old friends, hopefully I can keep my food and drink consumption under control.

Happy WEEKEND<3
A.C.

Bad day!

I am having one of those days today.
I want to eat everthing in my kitchen, and I DONT want to work out today. :( I want to stay in my pj's, drink wine, eat ice cream, and watch a movie.

I am having my own pity party today.
I am tired of bad friends, and people who dont understand the concept of loyalty.

However, i shall overcome this shiteous day, and pull myself up off the couch!!! I WILL!

Dont mind my bitchfit. :)

AC

******UPDATE*******


My hardcore birthday celebrating showed on the scale. UP 1.2lbs :(
I dont regret it though, i enjoyed some majorly delish food and drink for my 21st. How many times do you turn 21!?!?!
The answer is ONLY ONCE. :)
It will come off next week.
It will come off next week.
It will come off next week.
It will come off next week.

LATERRRRRRRRR<2

HUGE MILESTONE!

Today i received a late birthday present....
I went shopping because I had some gift cards, and i wanted to buy some things for my upcoming vacation.

Well, first off let me tell you this. When I started my weight loss efforts I said all I wanted was to wear a size 8. I have never work a size 8 in my entire life, with the exception of when i was like 10.
Well guess what....






















I am a VERY happy girl today :)


A.C.

What was your moment that made you say .."wow!!"...?!?!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE FABULOUS ME!!!

YUP, the BIG 21 today!!!

Happy Birthday to ME :)

I havent updated in awhile, things have been nutty around here with school & such. I weighed in yesterday at 1.6 DOWN. I'm not sure whats going on with my body, but it seems like things are finally falling into place with my weight. It feels amazing I must admit. I worked so hard for so long and saw 0.4 or 0.6 a week for MONTHS. My mom thinks my metabolism has sped up since I lost that loser baggage we call the ex-boyfriend. :-\ ppfftt haha oops.

My leader talked about how she went on vacation and she did so good and stayed on plan the whole time...
THAT is not the kind of person I am at all. When it is a special occasion, I am going to enjoy myself, and YES enjoy the foods I want. I am NOT counting pounts on days like that.
For instance, my fam is going out of town this weekend so my mom and I celebrated last night. We went to this really nice restaurant and had Spinach Dip (mmm one of my ABSOLUTE faves!!), Lobster ravioli (we split it & got 2 raviolis each lulz), and bread, OOO AND A GLASS OF WINE obv(im 21 now!!) !
I enjoyed myself. I enjoyed myself very, very much. That was one hell of a lot of points, but i think a few days out of the year its okay for us to have WHATEVER THE HELL WE WANT!! :) We work hard. I know everyone says dont treat yourself with food, but I LOVE FOOD so WHY NOT!? Its not everyday, and I still feel in control because I can get right back on plan the next day.
My point is, I am going to eat whatever I want today, and then tomorrow I will be back on plan. Life isnt over after a splurge weekend. Im going on a cruise in a little over a month, and I plan on enjoying anything I want to, in moderation of course. The food is spectacular and theres no way im going to miss out on that. Also, for the first time, I think I am going to plan to workout on vacation. I dont mind being up a few lbs after vacation, but I dont want to undo all of my hard work.

P.S.- I refuse to workout on my birthday. Absolutely not. No way. :)

Party at my house tonight!!! ha :)


Have a fabulous saturday!
A.C. <3

WORK ITTT! :)

Down 1.2!!!!
update laterzzz.

Ahhhh weekendddd!

Tomorrow is weigh in day, but tonight my mom wants to go to the movies....

I WILL NOT HAVE POPCORN.
I WILL NOT HAVE POPCORN.
I WILL NOT HAVE POPCORN.
I WILL NOT HAVE POPCORN.
..( ok maybe just a little)

OOhhhh. Its gonna be hardddddd :(
Also, because of the salt and fat I know it will make me have major water weight and i do NOT want to see that on the scale.
I feel like i might hit a plateau this week since im really getting down there, and i have lost big for the last 3 weigh ins. Im scared.
Well thats all for now, I'll update with my results tomorrow!

:)
AC


******UPDATE*******
Weighed in this morning. DOwn 0.4lbs. Oh well, Im happy that i didnt gain or stay the same. Also, its coming up on that time of the month and i always weigh more before then.

I am taking today off from the gym. I actually have to force myself to stay home today, its kind of an obsession.
Also, i had a donut and coffee this morning and im already at 10 points for the day! EEK! Yeah well, one day is okay. Im so proud of myself because i have been staying on plan perfectly for over 2 weeks. Tis is a record for me! Last night i went a few over because i had some chocolate at the movies. But again, its only one day, and i didnt let it turn into a crazy binge like i used to.

Im going to enjoy the rest of my weekend now, and I hope you will do the same!
AC

SUCCESS!!!!!

I weighed in today, and lost 2.2lbs!!!!
That puts me below goal! So now i start my 6 weeks of maintainance( or more losing in my case) and then im a lifetime member! I got a gorgeous key ring for making goal :)
I am back down to the weight i was one year ago, which happens to be my lowest adult weight :)
I couldnt possibly be more excited. Its SO worth sticking to the plan!

I have been eating so well since i got home from vacation, and got hardcore workouts in this week. Both wednesday and monday i went to the body conditioning class which KICKS my BUTT! :)The other days i did plenty of cardio and strength training.

Oh, and my size 10 skinny jeans are sagging in the butt. OH NO! but OH YESSSSS!!!!

Have a fabulous day!
A.C<3

Im Backkk..

I am back from my Canada trip! It was awesome. We had sooo much fun. However, all we did was eat, and drink, and then eat and drink, and then drink some more, and eat again. I got in one tiny short workout, so thats better than nothing i suppose. I didnt weigh in yesterday because once again, i refuse to put myself through that. I was probably up over 2 lbs.

On another note, I keep seeing these Green Monster shakes everywhereee. I think im going to try them out.
Anyone have any suggestions for some delish add-ins??

Ew, and my spring break is OVER. Back to school tomorrow :(
62 days until the cruise, 7lbs to go!!!

Thats all for now, headed to the gym!
A.C. <3

p.s.- this was taken in Canada. i look SKINNY :)


ANDDD HERES THE PREMIERE OF MY FIRST GREEN MONSTER!!!!
(sorry for the bad pic, phone doesnt do a great job)

Weigh in

EW. I stayed the same at WW yesterday :(

I am expecting to be up next week because of my spring break trip.
Oh well...hardcore workouts next week.


Leaving for Canada in the AM.
SEEYA IN A WEEK!!

AC<3

So, I'm SUCH a SUCKERRRR for a product endorsed by a celeb. This time it was Kim Kardashians Fit In You Jeans by Friday workout dvd. I bought it at Target for $10 a couple weeks ago and so far i've done it twice. Surprisingly I was really sore both times. Its about 35 minutes long. I wish there was more cardio in it because it doesnt burn near the amount of calories as my gym sessions. Maybe like 200 burned in the vid? Lots of squats, lunges, plyo jumps, etc so it is good for toning the lower body.

Anyways, I havent worked out this week like I should. Im hoping to get a really good hard workout in tomorrow after class. weigh in is on Saturday. I am hoping to make it to goal!!! I am concerned about my trip next week because i know its going to be really hard to even come close to staying on track. There will be lots of drinking involved= lots of points :( HOwever, one positive thing is that there is a sushi place next to the hotel and its really low cal and i LOVE IT. Maybe ill eat that for lunch everyday mmmmmm.
I am taking my sneakers and going to try to get a workout in when i have a free hour. We will probably be walking most places as well.

T.G.I.almost.F.
3 dayssssss!
AC<3

WEIGH IN RESULTS

Weight watchers weigh in yesterday morning.

2lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That makes me only .4 away from lifetime. OOOO SO CLOSE!
Cant leave much of a post today, have to finish some homework.
Got some Brown rice Sushi from Wegmans for dinner. REALLY EXCITED. MMMMMM. And only 1 week and 1 day until i leave for spring break. Oh MAN, do I need a vacation. School is kicking my buttttt right now.

Well thats all for now.
AC

HAPPY SNOW DAY!

Ahh today was fabulous. I love a snow day! I was a bit lazy today, I slept in until 12 noon..EEK!

I was procrastinating so bad when it was time to go to the gym. Luckily there was no snow on the streets. I was dressed but stillll sitting at my computer :-\ FINALLY i got my butt of the couch and went. 25 minutes on the elliptical, 30 mins walk/run on the treadmill, 10 minutes strength training.

I didnt work out yesterday or tuesday just because of a lack of time to do so, so it was kind of good to get back there. Tomorrow is weigh in, and i hope my control with food this week paid off. Hoping for a pound tomorrow. It doesnt sound like a lot, but its rough for me to make it to a whole pound. Usually its like .4 or .6, :(

Last weigh in, i JUST lost the 2.4 lbs i gained or the holidays! Thats how long it takes me to lose.

Just had dinner -Roasted Chicken, stuffing(just a bit, but sooo good and worth the points), and greeen beans.

I definitely have not been getting enough fruits and veggies. Its so hard because those foods dont keep me full for very long. So i only get to eat them when i have a lot of points to play around with :( Also trying to up my dairy intake.

Went like 6 pts over yesterday because i was having a serious chocolate craving. I ate a hershey bar. I was trying to only eat half, but ughhh i lose control and had the whole thing. Also i was up very late and was starving so i had a snack. Oh well, trying not to let it stress me out.

Work tonight at 11. Hopefully no school again tomorrow!

TGI.almost.F :)

annddd 1 week 3 days til SPRING BREAK!

AC <3

Happy Monday!

Hello everyone!

What a fabulous monday!

Started tracking again yesterday. Finally a sense of control again!
Going to a toning class tonight at the gym. Im really excited. I love all those SQUATS! :)
Im SO close to lifetime at WW, 2.4 lbs to go. I am hoping for 1lb on friday, and thats a big goal for me. I didnt weigh in last week, so i have no idea where I am at. Saturday was a badd food day for me. Pretty much ate whateverrr and didnt workout, but i got in the gym yesterday and did an hour of cardio plus weights.

Also, i'm exactly TWO weeks away from my spring break trip. CANADA HERE I COME!
Just came from the salon, back to blonde(thank goodness), and bought a new pair of boots. It was kind of a treat to motivate myself haha. Also, im newly single as of this weekend.. :(...but :) too cuz im really EXCITED about it :) I finally have enough confidence to date! Watch out boyysss here i come :)

Weigh in on friday.

So far today...
english muffin
1/2 banana
slice of pizza

Total - 8pts.

Thats all for now!

TGIF & LOLZ

Back to the Basics

AHHH crazy week...thank goodness its almost over!
So tomorrow its back to tracking everryyy single bite i take. I need it. Unfortunately, not going to weigh in this week. It was too rough a week, and I cant bear to face the scale..This is bad i know :( However, i know myself, and if I weigh in, it will put me in a bad mood for the entire weekend. So I am not putting myself through that.

I went to the doctor today. She told me to see a specialist, so hopefully next week I can get my tummy troubles under control and start eating/working out properly.

Went to the gym for a kickboxing class. I was SO EXCITED! ...but then i got there and and it was pilates. YUCK. We dont get along. At all...
Apparently I had an old calendar :(


Oh welll...starting over tomorrow, and really excited to crack down a bit.
Ive only got 2.5 weeks til spring break, and 3 months exactly til our cruise! YAY vacation!

yuckkkk.

oh GOSHIES.
..its time to make a doctors appointment. I keep getting nauseous when ive got an empty tummy. No, im not just talking about hunger pains. Im talking about full on stomach cramps, so bad that i was doubled over today :(
Its so hard to keep up my weight loss attempts when I am so nauseous I cant even get off the couch. Also, I have to keep eating to avoid that nausea, so for the past few days I have gone over my points. At least I got to the gym today...
15 minutes walking w/ incline
32 minutes on the elliptical
Hopefully i can get back to running soonnn!!
unfortunately, no weights today (was in a time crunch)
After the gym, I went to school and got so sick i had to go home. I missed class which is a big deal because i get 10% off my next test grade :(

On a more positive note, I want to mention a delicious new treat..
Gayles Miracles
http://www.gaylesmiracles.com/
MMMM...I can have two of these little truffles for 1pt!
I actually preferred the dark chocolate ones, and im usually a milk kinda girl...
FABULOUS :)

Wishing the weekend would come a bit faster!
A.C.

P.S. Can anyone tell me what those Green Monster shakes taste like? yummy? veggie-ish???
let me know!

Day 1.

I started reading weight loss blogs a few months ago in search of some inspiration. I am a Weight Watcher, looking to lose my last 10 lbs. Hoping that this will help inspire me, and hopefully some one else along the way.
