This morning I weighed 220.4. SIGH. It's that time of the month and yesterday was kind of a salty day but I drank sooooo much water. I was really hoping it would balance out for me. So that's up 1.6 pounds from yesterday. That is down 2 pounds from 1 week ago. Overall down 28.8 pounds. Yesterday I was down 30.6 pounds!!!
Today's goal is to:
Track
Drink 4 bottles of water
Go workout

Thursday
Our dinner party went well last night, but I still don't know how to track it. I just need to suck it up. And I did really well while they were here, but then they left and left the tres leche cake (she's from Costa Rica)... and I miiiigght have had another piece... or two. Overall, it could have been much worse. I let Aaron keep it today and eat it throughout part of the day and then threw the rest away. Ahh, what a shame. Don't tell them though ;)
So I made mostaccoili and ate it with spaghetti squash instead of pasta, had a few small pieces of french bread, some great salad that I have waayy to much left over (so I ate it for lunch, but there's still a ton), and then the cake. If I would have stopped when they left, I would have been GREAT... but you know me and food when we're alone. lol Ahh, I wonder if I'll ever get over that.
Anyway, I didn't weigh myself this morning but will tomorrow for our official weigh in. I did go to the gym and did my kickboxing class. Yay! Although, I've been having some pretty bad lower back pain lately and kickboxing only exasterbated it. Ugh. BUT when class was over, the instructor (Paula, in case I refer to her again and you don't know who I'm talking about) came up and asked what my first name was and then proceeded to tell me that she loves watching me b/c my form is always so good and I really throw strong punches. Yay me! lol
Goals:
Um, it's already 3, but here are my goals for the rest of the day:
Keep eating good
Eat a lot of protein for snack and dinner tonight since I've only had 29 grams so far today.
Drink lots of water.
Research exercises I can do at home to strengthen my lower lumbar, which seems to be the problem with my back (?)

Wednesday
So Mall, how did tracking EVERYTHING go? And are you still weighing yourself every day or are you just doing it twice a week now?
I was at 148.2 this morning, so back down after Red Lobster, plus some. So that's good.
When we lived in Louisiana, I did LA WeightLoss and I didn't start at my highest weight, but when I started, I was at 219. It's kinda hard to believe that I've lost 71 lbs since then. (Well, more if you count the ups and then back downs with pregnancy and whatnot, but I'm not) Aaron and I were talking about it and from my absolute highest, at my delivery date with Sophie, (at 235) I've lost 86.8 lbs and Aaron goes "That's a backstreet boy!" LOL
Anyway, enough reminiscing... and I really hope that this post does not get seen by a ton of people... like ex-boyfriends, people I went to school with, ya know. Seeing it written down there is a little crazy.
Ok, so we have company coming for dinner tonight and I'm making Mostaccoili sauce with both noodles and spaghetti squash, french bread, a big salad, and they're bringing dessert. So I suspect that it won't be a great day for my calories and sodium, so here's my goals:
*lots of water
*try to track everything, even if it's not completely accurate (I have a habit of not doing it if I don't know exactly)
*eat low calorie, low sodium for the beginning of the day so it won't add up so quickly
*do a lot of cleaning. I'm hoping maybe I can workout after the girls go to bed tonight too, but it'll depend on when the other couple leaves

Wednesday goals
Today Justin is home, so those days are always harder. I am planning to make potato soup later today. Yum.
So today's goals are to:
Track everything I eat, drink 4 bottles of water, stay within my calories.
I am not weighing every day but I did happen to weigh today and my weight was 219.2!!!! I am out of the 220's Whooo hooooo!
I have 14.2 pounds to reach my goal of 205 by Feb 14th and I have 5 and a half weeks to do it in! I am pretty sure that as long as I stay focused I will make it!
Have a great day everyone!

Stinkin' Red Lobster
I was at 150.0 today and I know it has to be from all the fat/calories/and especially sodium from Red Lobster last night. I even thought that I ordered middle ground - not too low calorie b/c of course I wanted to eat something that I wanted, but not high calorie either. Of course, when I got home and added it up (one thing that I have to give them is that they have a great website for the nutrition facts, which a lot of restaurants STINK at) it was 1565 calories total. Wowza. That's more than I eat in a day. So, added to the calories from the rest of the day, I had 2351 calories yesterday. However, I went to the gym and workedout and so I burned more than that, so I'm thinking all the weight gain from yesterday is mainly just working all the salt out of my system.
Did you know that ONE cheddar bay biscuit has 150 calories? Yup. And I ate three of them. Ah well.
One thing that I wasn't suspecting, is that I felt like C.R.A.P. afterwards. All the salt, grease, and fat that I'm just not really used to having made my stomach feel like a tarpit of ungoodness. I'm hoping that I will remember that and not want it as much in the future. (Of course, we wouldn't have gone there anyway if we didn't have a gift card, I'm not the biggest Red Lobster fan.)
Goals for today:
track everything
update bodybugg's tracking
lots of water
not yell at my girls as much. Another wowza for how bad they've been lately. Sophie was such a punk yesterday that she was in timeout for like a half hour straight... but that's another story.
Be more grateful. Yes, I realize this is a weightloss blog, but hey, it's my goal and I'll write it if I want to. ;)

Tuesday, The Biggest Loser Starts Today!
Today's goals:
Today I am only having one goal but it's a big one:
Track every piece of food that goes in my mouth. Along with this goal I am going to clear out one of our cupboards and it is going to be the snack cupboard, with things to give the kids that I don't eat. The goldfish, any candy, pretzels, animal crackers etc.! That way they are out of my sight, and I can get them out for snacks then put them away.
I also am committing to logging in tonight and letting you all know how I did!
