Mishka Update

Today, I weighed myself at the gym (yes I was at the gym!!!!). It was the first time I have weighed myself in months....and definitely the first time since I started trying to lose weight but I know what I weighed this fall and if anything I gained more during the holidays before I started to diet.

Regardless, I weighed at least 165 this summer when I weighed myself last....today I weighed 160....so I have lost 5 pounds at least since the summer but I am starting to think it must be more than that since I know I was biggest right around the holidays....I just never weighed myself.

So even at the small end, I have lost at least 5 pounds...whooeee!!! I am feeling more motivated today...going to the gym and spending time at the beach for a second day in a row has really helped, and then getting on the scale really helped. So at least cutting back on my calories has worked and if I can get the exercise in there regularly...I'll be on my way to a fitter and better looking me.

Checking in

We decided to take the rest of last week off and eat all the things we've been craving and get it out of our systems. I gained back a couple pounds, which sucks, but I think it was good for my psyche. I had lost one pound this morning since my "official" weigh in yesterday morning, so that made me feel a little more inspired.

I'm not really tracking so far this week, but I have toned down the food fest quite a bit. I'm still getting over my cold, so I'm eating what sounds good but trying to keep it reasonable.

I'll be back to tracking and diligent eating by Monday.

Mishka's Week

This week has been bad for me for logging food. I have been eating okay but not a lot of things that I can count calories on. I have been eating Thai soup for three days since I had so much of it and I know that it is not bad for me.

Tomorrow is a new day, a new week, and a new start. I have no excuses to not get some exercise in and I just need to get started. Chicken has motivated me in her will and determination to run and be healthier. I will try to follow in her footsteps.

Dinner (at WWW coffee)

I did pretty good at keeping my calories down at dinner. I had a plate of Thai food, stayed away from too much rice, and then a sliver of flan for desert. I think I mananged to keep things where I want them.

Total calories are ~1300 which puts me at -500 for the week when I should be at -1500 by now...oh well.

Sprite's Wednesday

I don't know how many points I ate today. I lost track at lunch because I ate what sounded good (which wasn't much because of my cold) and I didn't bother the rest of the day. Nothing much sounded good for dinner, so I probably ate too many points there too.

I know, I suck. I just don't have the energy to be diligent today.

We are not counting dinner tomorrow night for Valentine's and decided we would get take out Thai and spend the evening at home. Maybe we should get it spicy and clear out my sinuses. HA!

The only good thing is that I managed to actually continue with logging this week because I almost gave up and I also probably over counted since I had to estimate and I would rather overestimate than underestimate.

Sprite's Tuesday

We had the superbowl this morning so I went to a party at a local bar and it included breakfast and lunch. I didn't try to count calories today, but I can list what I have eaten. I have my calorie week start on Tuesday this week and see how it goes.

1 serving of scrambled eggs
1 small sausage link
1 biscuit
1 serving of sausage gravy
1 serving of skillet potatoes with onions
2 slices of bacon
2 small cups of coffee w/1 tbs of Baileys

Chicken's Weekend

I ate pretty well on Saturday except I had two pieces of Pizzacato Pizza. I figured that was okay since I went snowshoeing for 3 hours. My lower back was killing me so I didn't run on Sunday. I have to go home straight after work so I don't know if I will be able to run today either :-( I have circuit weight training at lunch too.

Chicken's Update

Well I finished the Couch-2-5K program last night. It was a bit difficult because I was pushing myself a little bit but afterwards I felt great. William and I both had a stressful day and the running (for me) walking fast (for him) really helped.

I feel like I have lost more weight but I am not weighing myself until Tuesday. I'm going to try to go to circuit weight today since I have been missing it for a while because of work. We are heading to the mountain shop to pick up snow shoes for Saturday.

Happy Friday!!

Friday for Mishka

Today was a bad day overall...too much away from home and not great food choices to be had.

Breakfast

Bagel w/lite cc, turkey, tomato, onion (220 calories)
Coffee w/sugar and milk (50 calories)

250 calories

Snack (at Coffee Casa)

Medium mocha (330 calories, went off Grande mocha from Starbucks stats)

330 calories

Lunch (at Chili's w/K)

House salad w/dressing on the side (260 calories)
Boneless buffalo wings (1050 calories)
Water

1310 calories (the whole day in one meal....can you believe it?)

Dinner (at McDonald's....yeah....I guess I was going for broke)

Ebi filet sandwich (shrimp filet, at 330 calories)
Medium fry (380 calories)
Unsweetened tea

710 calories (wow, can you believe MickeyD's was less than freaking Chili's?)

Total calories are 2600 and I am only supposed to be eating 1300 if I want to lose a pound a week so I guess I blew this up completely....instead of being -2500 where I am supposed to be at the end of day 5, I am now at -1200 for the week....wow, what a lame ass thing. I guess I'll have to double it up at the gym in the next two days to get anything back but I don't see meeting my goal this week at all. Time to step it up, that is for sure and no more fast food...how disgusting is that? I don't remember the last time I ate at McD's or Chili's (actually K took me to Chili's for my Bday in November...that was the last time I ate there. Wow!!!!)
