Married? Check. Happy? Completely. Ideal weight? So begins the journey...
We remember our pre-wedding selves like a distant memory. Constant workouts, the ability to avoid The Flying Cupcake, and a gown that zipped. Now that we've tied the knot, the pressure's off. But we're still eating like we're on our honeymoon. Let's take the journey back to health together...and enjoy some indulgences along the way.
I'd like to label this post "I'm either pregnant or disgusting." I have a feeling it's just the latter. No excuses. I was a disgusting, lazy, eating fool this week. Here's to hoping something kicks me in gear (like having to buy new, bigger clothes, which is where I almost am).

Ugh. Here's to hoping you girls fared better than I did! Maybe we should add a reward or a punishment...some sort of incentive. Any ideas?
I, for one, hope Colleen is pregnant. And she is definitely not disgusting so we'll rule that out right now!
ReplyDeleteI was kind of neutral this week. I didn't work out (because I suck), but I didn't do terrible except for 2 things: Wednesday night dinner at Cracker Barrel and a Harry and David food gift basket.
I am a spaz and completely forgot to weigh in this morning. I will report back next week!
In terms of reward/punishment, I know that Mel has been buying little gifts for herself but not letting herself have them unless she works out a certain amount of time per week. I love the idea, but it wouldn't work for me. I would say screw it and take the gifts for immediate use.
I'm always late posting.... but better late than never, right?! Anyways, Colleen, I feel your pain. I really struggled this week and I'm not sure why. Well, I too, have come up with multiple reasons why I didn't do as well (concert week, stressed and ate late, ate dinner late around 11 pm due to auditions thurs nite and didn't work out, Kyle's birthday celebration fri. and sat.) but really, I could have just exercised more self control on all of those occasions and would have probably fared better. Things like this will always get in the way in life but I need to just learn that the taste of food and a little bit of short lived gratification for that isn't worth carrying around this extra weight. Why can't I just realize that?! ugh... I disgust myself. Anyways, I guess after all of that I expected to be worse off than I was when I weighed in this morning...but I'm still not excited about it. Here's the stats:
ReplyDeleteToday's weight: 197
Days/time spent working out this week: Ran for about 20 - 25 min. Mon. and Tues
Wedding weight: 170
Goal weight: 160
Plus/minus from starting weight: -2.5
Plus/minus from last week's weight: 0 maintained
Pounds to lose to wedding weight: 27

Goal: When we all lose 10 pounds (or 15 -20) the three of us can go out for a guilt free Gigi's cupcake and a movie, just the girls. (or is that defeating the purpose of just eating sweets to reward ourself?! lol) Maybe then though we could hold off on sweets until then and enjoy it the 3 of us and monitor that we only have 1? lol wow that was a poorly formed sentence.. but you get my idea hahha
I am completely in for Gigi's and a movie. I think it's healthy to have little indulgences along the way. It keeps us sane so we don't feel deprived! :)
