Diets, Food and Everyday Life!

So I was in Vegas for work from Saturday until Wednesday of this last week. Overall I did ok, but I could have done much better. I brought 1.6lbs back with me from Vegas, which is not good but considering I’m PMSing it could be and probably is mostly water weight.

I did exercise a lot while I was in Las Vegas just to get from my room to the conference hall it was 3/4 of a mile walk. So I did that at least twice a day plus walking all around almost the whole time. Really the only times I was not walking was during classes (3 hr a day) and during meals (3 hours a day). I walked around so much my legs hurt the whole first day I was home.

So now it’s Friday (thank god) and time for Friday Check-In:
1. Loose weight, I will celebrate next Christmas at 120 or less. *unless I’m pregnate.
Well I am up a pound from where Emily and my weight loss game started at this rate I will never get a massage. This week is nose to the grindstone week and I will keep at it.

2. Clear my debt, get rid of house.
Same as last week, made one payment to the lawyer.

3. Think about babies. Maybe have one.
I have decided that we should wait until he is out of school. Not that I don’t still want one or anything and it’s hard but I am still taking my temp ever day. Over the last two months my periods and temps have become increasingly odd, according to Fertilityfriend.com I am not ovulating.

4. This is my year to volunteer and maybe find a club or some people to hang out with.
Started doing some research on places to Volunteer, maybe something with kids.

5. Join a yoga class after I get my license back!
I am going to pick up the schedule this week I got my license back and am looking for a mid week class.

6. Be an adult.
I have been an adult so far this year. I believe I am totally rocking out on this one!

So I weighed in this Friday at 156.2 which is over a 2lbs weight loss, considering I gained the week before (I didn’t post the weight gain). So I thought this was great and I reviewed my food logs at http://caloriecount.about.com/profile/hotharmony it showed me that the secret to such a great lose is working out at least four days a week and tracking the full day at least six days a week. This last week I averaged between 1400-2200 calories a day. I thought this was high, but I guess it works!

Also I’m in Vegas right now so wish me luck on being able to make the right food choices while I’m hear and to keep moving around.

157ish

The gun show, is returning!

I lost 1.8lbs this week, it puts me back to almost where I was before our weekend trip to Cincinnati. I have to stay optimistic that some day I will be a skinny hot bitch, but my goal is to aim for 4lbs a month. That is one lb a week, and I think I know I can do that. That leaves me a mear 38lbs to loose and at 1 lb a week I will be at 120 in October 2008!

In other news I worked out 4 days this week, woo hoo!

I am seriously contemplating doing this to my treadmill, since I work at home it would be a hoot and help me burn some extra calories. I just read the story of a Mayo Clinic doctor who turned his treadmill into a walking desk . . . read it all here.

I don’t normally do a product blog, but OMG! I just saw that Hostess is releasing 100 calorie packs of muffins. I am a devout fan of their 100 calorie cupcakes especially the chocolate one but muffins mmmm mmmmm goodness. Here is what Hostess has to say about these delicious little beauties:

The contest is going really hard on both of us, I have now lost the weight I gained last weekend when we went to Cincinnati, btw Wicked is the most awesome play ever. So I am half pound up from where the game started and Emily after gaining one pound week one is now back to her starting weight. Game is still on!
