BEW Weight Loss Feb. 22

Much better week! Hooray!I started Weight Watchers on Tuesday, and it is going much better!

Weight Loss Goal by April 14: Lose 20 pounds

Pounds lost this week: Lost 2 pounds!

Progress Towards Goal: 10.2 of 20! (My numbers got all mixed up, but I know what my starting weight was, so I am back on track!)

Favorite thing that I ate this week: We made shrimp, pineapple, mushroom, and onion kabobs last night, with almond rice pilaf. It was super yummy!

Favorite new Recipe that I made this week: I didn't try anything this week, I kept it simple!

I am only allowed to drink Diet Coke from Friday-Sunday.

Did I stick to that this week? Did NOT stick to this. The one day I tried, was yesterday, and I ended up with a migraine, so I had to drink some caffeine. I am going to try really hard to stick to it next week.

BEW Weight Loss Feb. 15

Welp. I didn't have a very great week. Usually over the weekend, I gain a little bit of weight back, so last weekend I gained about 0.6, which is pretty good for me. Some weekends, I gain 1-1.5 pounds. So, Monday I worked really hard, and I was STARVING by about 6:30pm, and didn't have any calories left. So, I didn't eat anything else, and was SURE I would lose weight. I weighed Tuesday morning, and I didn't lose a single ounce.

So basically, I've just decided that I need to do Weight Watchers again. I didn't want to start mid-week, especially since I knew I had Valentine's Day to get through, so I will start on Monday. So on Tuesday-Wednesday I didn't eat whatever I wanted, but I definitely didn't stick close to my calories. Yesterday, I ate loads of chocolate, and Casey made me Fondue, so I was expecting to gain 1-2 pounds. Thankfully, I did not.

Weight Loss Goal by April 14: Lose 20 pounds

Pounds lost this week: Gained 0.8 (Not too awful..could have been much worse, considering my discouragement!)

Progress Towards Goal: 7.9 of 20

Favorite thing that I ate this week: Definitely the Fondue. It was super yummy!

Favorite new Recipe that I made this week: I made Pioneer Woman's Enchiladas tonight. Oh.My.Word. So good!

Exercising Goal: To walk or do the Wii Fit at least 3 times per week.

How many times did I work out this week? Nope. (See last week's post).

I am only allowed to drink Diet Coke from Friday-Sunday.

Did I stick to that this week? Most definitely not. I had at least one per day. I was super frustrated. At least I didn't take out my frustration by stuffing my face!

I'm looking forward to a better week, with Weight Watchers, next week!

BEW Weight Loss Feb. 8

This week was slightly better than last week. I am seriously considering going back to Weight Watchers though, because It is seriously hard to find a balance between working out and eating the correct amount of calories. Last weekend, I ate whatever I wanted, and lost .4 pounds! On Monday I did Couch to 5K, right when I got home from school, and made sure to eat the right number of calories, and I was back to the weight I had been last Friday. I then decided to quit working out, and see if I could lose. That is the only way that I lost weight this week, which is frustrating!

Here are some pictures. Not much change, but I haven't lost that much yet. :) The one on the left is from a month ago, and the one on the right is from today.

Weight Loss Goal by April 14: Lose 20 pounds

Pounds lost this week: 1.4

Progress Towards Goal: 8.7 of 20

Favorite thing that I ate this week: We had Taco Salad last Saturday, and that was really yummy, because Casey's mom helped Casey make homemade Salsa!

Favorite new Recipe that I made this week: I didn't make any new recipes, but one that I found on Pinterest, and have made several times, and I also made this week was this Smothered Chicken.

Exercising Goal: To walk or do the Wii Fit at least 3 times per week.

How many times did I work out this week? Once. And it backfired, so I quit. That is the only way I could lose weight, was to not work out...very confusing.

I am only allowed to drink Diet Coke from Friday-Sunday.

Did I stick to that this week? I had two extras this week. Yeah, I know.

BEW Weight Loss Feb. 1

This week was extremely frustrating for me. Usually on weekends, I let myself cheat a little bit. Sometimes a lot (Such as last weekend, where I ate insane amounts of German Chocolate Cake!). This past weekend, I was right on the cusp of moving into another "decade" of pounds, and almost to 10 pounds, so I said to myself "Self: You are only allowed to cheat on Friday this week." So, that is what I did. I cheated on Friday, but then on Saturday I ate my correct amount of calories, did my Jillian Michaels workout, and did the first day of couch to 5K! Then on Sunday, I ate my calories correctly. The rest of this week I did exactly as I was supposed to do, and here are my results:

Weight Loss Goal by April 14: Lose 20 pounds

Pounds lost this week: 0.8 (Super frustrating! I lost more weight last week, after eating the aforementioned German Chocolate Cake ALL WEEKEND!)

Progress Towards Goal: 7.3 of 20

Favorite thing that I ate this week: I didn't really eat anything super exciting this week. Again, another reason I am frustrated! I did make this Crockpot Hawaiian BBQ Chicken, which I have made before, and it is good.

Favorite new Recipe that I made this week: No new recipes tried this week.

Exercising Goal: To walk or do the Wii Fit at least 3 times per week.

How many times did I work out this week? 5. I did Couch to 5K twice, Ripped in 30 once, and I walked a mile once.

I am only allowed to drink Diet Coke from Friday-Sunday.

Did I stick to that this week? I had one medium Diet Coke on Tuesday night, but other than that yes.

I know this happens to everybody. It is just frustrating. Apparently losing weight is harder after the age of 30. Usually the first 10 pounds fly off of me in record time! This is probably a weird analogy to you guys, but this situation reminds me of my faith in God, after I lost Brittyn. After you see your best friend lose her baby, and then two months later, you lose yours, and you hear a billion more stories just like it, it is safe to say, that the devil tries to creep in and say "Why do you believe in a God, that allows things like this to happen??" At that point you have a choice, but really you don't. Your choice is: stay strong in your faith, or...that is it! I mean, what other choice do you have? If you don't have Him, you have nothing! So in regards to weight loss. My choice is: stay strong and keep trying or...give up and gain it all back? I mean how would that make me happy?

So, pretty blah week for me, hope you guys did better!
