Fit Mommy Friday Week 4?

Well, this week didn't go so well.  On Tuesday we, my dh and I, went to Arizona with my sister and her dh.  Between traveling and eating out for every meal...it got ugly.

I didn't exercise except one time in the pool and the walking we did looking for stores to shop in.  In other words, not much.

I can not wait to get back to exercising and eating right.  I did watch my portions-for the most part.  But my water consumption was almost nil.

This week is going to be better.

Not going to be good

Tuesday night, my dh and I set off on a trip to Arizona with my sister and her dh.  We are driving with them to go to the Mayo Clinic.  I have not exercised at all this week.  :(  My water consumption is at an all time low.  My food intake is high.

I am feeling bloated and icky from traveling.

I won't be able to weigh-in or blog on Friday.  We are leaving that day and the internet connection is cranky. 

I can not wait to get back to working out.  I actually miss it!  I hope this doesn't set me back to far.

Fit Mommy Friday Week 3

Week 3 is over.  It has been a pretty good week just very long.



Monday- no exercise.  :(  We had homeschool group and then a doctor's appt. to get a cast on my oldests' arm and then BSF.  I did pretty well monitoring my food until supper.  I ate too much.  No way around it I just did.  And I felt miserable all evening.  I drank around 50 oz of water-not my goal but not too bad.

Tuesday-I worked out with the Wii Fitness Coach for 45 min!!  Woohoo!  I ate in moderation and drank 72oz of water.  Good day!

Wednesday-I worked out again with the Wii for 45 min and found it a little easier this time.  I ate in moderation and drank just over 70oz of water.

Thursday-I ended up working out for about an hour.  The Fitness Coach puts you through an evaluation every tenth workout or so and then still makes you workout after that!  I ate in moderation and drank 72ish oz of water.

Friday-Well, I am writing this first thing in the morning so I haven't technically done anything yet.  BUT, I am going to workout for 45 min at lunch and drink my 72oz of water and eat in moderation.

I am determined.  What makes me this determined after my whining yesterday?

I LOST 5 POUNDS THIS WEEK!!!

I couldn't believe it!  I am stoked.  Wouldn't it be awesome if I could lose another 5lbs next week?

I am going to try.  :-D

***UPDATE:  I worked out for 45 min at lunch time and am up to 50oz of water as of 3pm.  Yay!

I can't look

Tomorrow is my weigh-in day for the Fit Mommy Friday Challenge and I am more than a little nervous.  I have been working so hard this week and I don't think I can bear it if the scale hasn't moved. 

I really need the scale to show some downward movement.  Really.

If the scale hasn't moved I might have a break down.  I shouldn't be pinning my hopes on the scale tomorrow but I am.  I really need this positive affirmation that what I have been doing is working. 

Even a little.

Chasing the Wagon

Why are the weekends so hard to stay on track with exercise and eating right?  It seems like I do pretty well throughout the week and then Saturday and Sunday hit and I jump off the wagon.

I'm pretty sure that I'm not falling, I'm jumping.  I completely forget all the good things I need to do and just veg out and pig out.

It's not that I want to workout seven days a week but I would at least like to not be a total sloth on the weekends!  It makes all the hard work I did during the week almost a moot point.

It stinks.

Last night I ate too much before BSF and I didn't work out yesterday either.  Not a great start to the week.

I need to chase down that wagon and strap myself on for good.

Fit Mommy Friday

This week was an interesting roller coaster.  I thought I had been doing well and stepped on the scale to see an gain of three pounds.  :( So not cool.

This morning I stepped on the scale and those three pounds were gone plus one more.  I don't know if it is accurate, but I will take it!

So, here is my check in.

Monday-I did the Wii Personal Trainer for 30 minutes and got all my water in.  I limited my portions and did generally pretty well.

Tuesday-I only worked out for 20 minutes today and only got 38oz of water in.  I did limit my food portions well.

Wednesday-Thirty minutes of the Wii today, 42oz of water with small portions of food.

Thursday-I didn't work out except for running up and down the stairs countless times!  68 oz of water and smaller portions of food.

Friday- I worked out this morning for 45 minutes and am planning to drink all my water with limiting my portions.

I plan on working out on Sunday to make up for the day I missed during the week.  Generally I feel better this week despite fighting a cold.  I feel like I have a little more energy and am feeling better about myself.  I think I might feel/see some changes in my proportions based on the way my clothes are feeling.

I don't know if I will make my goal by the end of the challenge, I'm thinking not since it is going so slowly, but that's okay.  I am changing my life and that is what matters in the long run.

Next week I am going to work out for 45 min a day and cut out some more calories.

Okay, Really?

I worked out yesterday with the Wii Fitness Coach and she kicked my hiney!  I felt great after working out and was proud of myself.

Until...

I weighed myself this morning and I gained three pounds. 

 AAGGHHH   

Can you hear me screaming? 

Oh yeah, there's crying too.

I am seriously not happy about it.

I am going to keep doing what I know I should and ignore the scale.

Easier said than done.
