Weigh-In Wednesday

Today's Weight:
274.0

Well, I guess losing 0.1 pounds is better than gaining. I know it's my fault. I didn't get 100% back on the wagon, but I'm doing better than I was. I only have one more week until I'm back in Concordia and back to my normal routine. I'll also be back in my own house where there's not tempting junk food and where I don't sit around all day watching Netflix. I'll have to figure out how to better manage my summers off in the future. It makes me mad when I think about how I wasted time this summer by not staying on track. Oh, well. I'm not going to dwell on it. I'm going to get back on track and continue my weight loss journey!

So, I'm almost too embarrassed to post my weight this week. I really fell off the wagon and gained 3.7 pounds. I haven't been tracking my points, exercising, or making healthy choices. I'm so ready to be back into my routine. I think that'll really help. Being at home all day long during the summer is making me snack more often. I want to get back to work where there's no time to snack, I make my own lunch, and exercise when I get home. I know I can do this. I need to get back on track and not sabotage myself. I've come too far to quit now. Officially back on the wagon!

Well, everyone, I lost 0.8 pounds this week...again. But, then I had a bit of a setback today. I binged on food after dinner (even though I wasn't hungry). I had ice cream and leftover Chinese food. I didn't have to points for that (yeah, in my weekly points, but I never use them). I don't know what got into me. I felt like a drug addict having a relapse. I hate when I can't help myself. It really is an addiction to food that I'm overcoming. I wasn't even hungry! And then, when I felt too full, I ate some more. I felt disgusting. I can't sabotage myself like that anymore. I've been working so hard, but this summer has been super difficult to stay on track. I think it has a lot to do with stress, no routine, and being home in my parents' house. I'm so ready for school to start just so that I'm back to a normal routine, can exercise regularly again, and won't be bored all day long. Hopefully I didn't sabotage myself too badly today and will be right back on track tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

Hey, hey! Sorry I haven't written in a whole week. I went to the Lake of the Ozarks for the Fourth of July. It was so much fun, but I overate every day I was there and then a day or so after I got back. I'm officially back on track today, though. I didn't go over my points today, so that's a good start. Vacations are so fun, but they really interfere with my weight loss. That's exactly what happened last time I did Weight Watchers: My family and I went on vacation, I tried to stay within my points but had fun at the same time. Then, I couldn't get myself back on track when I came home. That's NOT happening this time. I'm continuing this journey until I reach my goal and then maintaining for life. I know I can do this. Small setbacks happen and I just need to get right back on track. Even after the weekend's bad eating habits, I actually lost this week, so that's exciting! I lost 0.8 pounds! Still not fully recovered from the week before that, but I'm getting there!

Hey, everyone! Sorry I've been failing at posting lately. I seem to have less downtime in the summer since I'm out doing fun things. Anyway, I'm mad at myself because I gained 3.4 pounds this week. :( I used my parents' scale instead of my own this morning, so that could be a tad off, but I know I overate a few different times this week. I went out to eat with friends and family a bunch and will be going to the lake this weekend, and I know there's going to be a bunch of junk food. Hopefully I'll stay somewhat the same and not gain. Wish me luck!

Exercise Escapades

Hey, everyone! I kind of failed at working out this week. I think summer's going to be hard because I just want to do fun things and not worry about working out. I need to get better at that. Here's this week's workout schedule:

Monday: N/A

Tuesday: N/A

Wednesday: Mowing the Lawn - 1 hr. / Pulling Weeds - 1 hr.

Thursday: Housework / Deep Cleaning my Chest Freezer
Friday: Installing a Garage Door with my Dad

Recipe Report

Today's recipe is from my lovely mother. She made this over the weekend and I was hooked! It's fresh, homemade salsa. ¡Muy deliciosa! Here's how to make it:

5 Roma Tomatoes, Diced
1/2 Vidalia Onion, Diced
2 TBSP Garlic, Minced
Handful of Fresh Cilantro, Chopped
1 or 2 Limes, Squeezed
Salt and Pepper to Taste
(Hot sauce for a bit more spice - Optional)

It's so delicious and doesn't cost any points! I ate it with Tostitos Baked Scoops (3 points for 16 chips). It's a great snack or appetizer!

Hello, blog world! Sorry I've been MIA for a bit. I've been at my parents', where we had no water for 2 days thanks to the water company breaking a valve. So, that was fun. But anyway, I'm happy to report that I lost 2.6 pounds this week! I didn't exercise Monday or Tuesday, and I felt guilty, but I still ate right and counted my points. I'm also excited that I only have 17.6 pounds to go until I'm halfway to my overall goal!!! It seems like it happened faster than I thought it would, and I'm super excited about that!! Here's this week's progress reports:

Total Weight Loss: 53.4 pounds
