Wednesday Weekly Weigh-In: Week 3

Posted on by
3

I am a little disappointed this week because I actually gained 1lb :(

The thing is I can make up all the excuses in the world but it comes down to me making bad choices.   The biggest issue is my eating.  When I returned to work there were tons of sweets left from the holidays and luckily they are almost done.  Also, before break I had successfully weaned myself off of caffeine and soda.  When Ant got sick I had a relapse.

My other lame excuse was it was DH’s birthday this week, so we ended up have a large breakfast and dinner out.  To add to the bad eating my Winter Concert was last night, so we ended up having pizza for dinner.  These food choices definitely didn’t help me reach my weight goal.

There are my excuses but now they are my motivation to actually lose weight this week!

1. Reiterate my goal and where I stand in reference to this goal. (BMI info from this website)

Starting BMI: 24.7
Starting weight: 158

Last Week’s Weight: 158
Current Weight:159 (so far +1lb)
Goal Weight : 143

Last Week’s BMI: 24.7
Current BMI:24.9
Goal BMI: 22.4

2. Discuss what I am going to do to achieve my goals.

  1. Start by exercising every day.  (I actually did a decent job with this.  I exercised almost everyday.  Also I started my couch to 5K on Saturday.  Today is going to be my final day of week 1.)
  2. Add more veggies to my diet. (need to do this more and make better snack food choices)
  3. Making more meals at home! (I am getting better at this but this week was hard due to DH’s birthday.)
  4. Adding some running to my exercise routine. (Yup!)

3. Try to motivate others to join in on trying to lose weight 

I am going to try to get DH to join me.  We can motivate each other :).  DH actually started working out more. YEAH!

4. Post a (reasonably healthy) recipe that I’ve tried, a cooking tip, a new idea for working out for people to try, a photo update of my weight loss, or anything else I feel like sharing. 

Currently, I am feeling lost in this section.  I would love to talk about my weight loss or share a picture of my weight loss but there isn’t much to share since I haven’t lost any weight.  I need to stop being so hard on myself because some good things are going on, such as my exercise routine is getting better.  BABY STEPS!

Starting BMI: 24.7

No, weight loss this week but I am just impressed I didn’t gain any weight.  This past week was a very hard week due to lack of sleep and being sick.  Even though I didn’t feel good I stuck to my exercising but not enough.

 

2. Discuss what I am going to do to achieve my goals.

 

  1. Start by exercising every day.  Either walking or doing my Yoga DVD.  Chasing a toddler doesn’t count.
  2. Add more veggies to my diet.
  3. Making more meals at home!
  4. Adding some running to my exercise routine.

 

3. Try to motivate others to join in on trying to lose weight

This week was our Anniversary and DH made me an awesome crock-pot lentil soup.  I will make sure to share it with you soon in Tasty Tuesday!

This week was rough for me between lack of sleep, Ant being sick, and me being sick it was hard to eat correctly.  The worst part was one of the only things that helped me through this week was FOOD!!!  Now that I am back to work things should be getting better.  The only downside was my desk was full of yummy holiday goodies.

This week I am going to add some running!  Looking forward to reporting some actual weight loss next week.

I am borrowing this idea from Michele who got the idea from Josey.

This isn’t a New Years resolution this is just a way for me to jump start my exercise routine and reach my goal weight/BMI.

1. Reiterate my goal and where I stand in reference to this goal. (BMI info from this website)

Starting weight: 158
Last Week’s Weight:
Current Weight:158
Goal Weight : 143

Starting BMI: 24.7
Last Week’s BMI:
Current BMI:24.7
Goal BMI: 22.4

2. Discuss what I am going to do to achieve my goals.

  1. Start by exercising every day.  Either walking or doing my Yoga DVD.  Chasing a toddler doesn’t count.
  2. Add more veggies to my diet.
  3. Making more meals at home!
I am going to start with those 3 this week.  The last thing I want to do is overwhelm myself.

3. Try to motivate others to join in on trying to lose weight 

I am going to try to get DH to join me.  We can motivate each other :)

Josey (of course) @ My Cheap Version of Therapy who is 3 weeks post partum
Gee @ GeeBaby who is relatively new to blogging and could use the support
Michele @ Greetings from Nowhere, NM

4. Post a (reasonably healthy) recipe that I’ve tried, a cooking tip, a new idea for working out for people to try, a photo update of my weight loss, or anything else I feel like sharing. 

Well, I wanted to find a picture of myself when I was 143 but between computers crashing and FB being stupid I can’t find one I like.  I will check DH’s computer tomorrow to see if I can find on.  When I was at this weight I was on my no wheat, no sugar, no dairy diet.  I felt and looked great minus being depressed about not being pregnant.  This time around it is just for me and my health.
