My bodybugg came in the mail today! :) Woot! Woot!
I have it all set up online and I'm wearing it now. I'm sure that today won't exactly be accurate since I didn't start wearing it until 3:00 or so, but I'm super excited! I'll let you all know how it goes :)

Molly's Wednesday Goals
I love how everyone is putting so much thought into this weightloss process. You all are having some really fantastic insights!!
I'm feeling very distracted and having a hard time focusing on this stuff. I'm still tracking and trying to eat healthy and exercise, but I'm not feeling very deep about it. My grandma fell again yesterday and this time landed on her face. She split her chin open and had to have stitches. She broke her dentures and her face is all bruised up. And she told my mom that she had been on her way home from the school where she teaches dance class and she wasn't sure if she would go back to teaching. In reality she was walking with her walker in the assisted living place and bumped into something and fell. Just within the last year I have gotten to know her and have a real relationship with her and now she's slipping away. So, this is mostly what's been on my mind since Thanksgiving.
Anyway, I'm covering a closing shift for a girl tonight, so I plan on doing some cardio afterward.
Goals for today:
Track calories
Stay below 1300
drink 3 bottles of water
exercise

Getting Closer
160.8 today - 2 lbs down from yesterday, 8 lbs in 2 days, so I think it's safe to say that most of that horrid 10 lbs was from the sodium IV solution! However, I think now I'm down to where it's actually weight and not salt/water. And it's still 2 lbs up from a week ago and 8 lbs up from June. My goal is to get back to 158 by next Monday and then not get back up.
I'm starting to think about a long term goal. I've had so much trouble getting down, or staying down, now that I'm lighter than before, so I don't know what my goal should be. Right now it's to not see 160 again. But I don't know about a different long term goal. I'd like to be down to at least 152 (where I was in June, and which is right smack in the middle of my bmi range) but I don't know what time frame to put on it. It's only 8 lbs, but it's taking me a lot lot lot of exerising and watching what I eat to get anything off these days. Hmmmm, I will keep thinking about it.
My goals today:
*3 bottles of water
*track on livestrong and with exercise, stay under 1200 calories.
*do some form of exercise. I don't know what. Brielle is running a fever, so I don't think we'll be at the gym. I think I need a good dvd that I can do on days that I don't go. Any suggestions?
I'm also hoping that my bodybugg will be here today! Keep your fingers crossed!!

It's snowing today
It's so peaceful. Now if only people weren't coming to my house and the kids would stay asleep. I woke up about 15 minutes ago when my mom called me. Oops! Oh well at least no one was knocking on my door.
So I weighed myself just now and my weight was 225! That's only .2 higher than before thanksgiving. I am so tracking it!
Today's goals:
Drink 4 bottles of water
Eat under my new calorie goal (ug, it's going to be low once I put my new weight in)
Do 1/2 hr of cardio
stay under 2000 mg of sodium

Monday Recap / Tuesday Goals
I did ok yesterday: my calories were about a hundred over, but it's way better than I've been doing. I drank 3.5 bottles of water and my sodium ended up being almost 2500, which is slightly over what livestrong thinks I should have. But, it was totally worth it for that last piece of pumpkin pie! I didn't weigh myself this morning. It actually never crossed my mind until I saw Lori and Mallory's posts and by then I was well into my first cup of coffee.
My goals for today:
Drink 3 bottles of water
track calories
stay under 1300

Yay for Tuesday
162.8 Today, so that's 6 lbs down from yesterday, so at least a large majority was water/salt weight! I'm hoping that even more of it comes off for tomorrow's weigh in too. Darn that IV fluid! lol
I talked with my mom last night and she put up the candy (not that I don't know where it is, but at least out of sight, out of mind), so it's a start. I was really good while I was there, no candy and was really good about the portion control. And overall, yesterday was a good day - all my daily goals were met.
Today's goals:
Drink 3 bottles of water (12 glasses)
track all my food on livestrong
exercise (this is hard for me when I don't have a class that I want to go to, but I'll DO it!)
no sweets

Yay for Tuesday!
So I weighed myself this morning after a good water/sodium day and my weight was 227.6. Ok, it's going in the right direction. So I have 6 pounds to go until I make my Christmas goal. I had a talk with Justin last night about how I needed his help and support and for him to not enable me to make bad choices (um, PIZZA). And he agreed, so that's good but he has his own issues so I can't count on him to help me make the best choices. Ideally I would like to be a little less than 221 by christmas.
So, here is today's plan:
buy no salt added tomatoes for salsa today
Bake some chicken
stay under 1500 for sodium
zoo trip?
I have been thinking a lot about Thanksgiving, it's really the first holiday that I have been committed to weight loss. And although it could have gone worse for sure, eating pie and pumpkin roll and everything salty was delicious but now that good feeling from the food is gone but the weight remains. And the good feeling from the food didn't last it wasn't even 20 minutes after I ate that I wanted something else. I just am not the kind of person who eats one piece of pumpkin roll and then is done. Ug, well it's something to think about for Christmas. My mom was talking about her desire to eat the other half of the pecan pie and she said, "I only get pecan pie once a year, I should be able to eat it and enjoy it." Let me just tell you that of all the pies, pecan is the worst. Half of a pie, which is what she wanted to eat, is 2150 calories.
And I didn't know how to argue with that. Now it seems totally clear to me, the question is that is that pie worth a week or two of working hard to re-lose the weight that you gain. I think it must be about balance and everyone's scales are different. To me, (after the fact) It doesn't seem even remotely worth it to have gained 3 or 6 pounds. Maybe to her it is, or maybe she is regretting her holiday binge as much as I am. I don't know. The good news is that I know that given enough time and commitment I can and will accomplish my goals!
