Yesterday was weigh in and I'm down another 1.4 pounds, for a total of 10.4. Not too shabby. But, I'm frustrated. I wanted a bigger number. I journaled everything I ate. I did my workouts. I lost weight! But I wanted more! My frustration is totally unwarranted, yet here I sit, feeling defiant and not wanting to stay on program. And how will that help me? It won't. So for the time being, I'm still on program ... Doesn't hurt that my house has been purged of most crap-food! lol
I did have a mini pig out today ... On homemade unsweetened applesauce. Yea, I'm a rebel! Hahaha
Ok, enough self loathing ... I should journal what I ate today and move on. Hate to think what would happen if the scale went the wrong way! Yikes!!! Can't let that happen!

It hasn't killed me yet
Yup, I exercised two days in a row and I lived to tell about it!
With the EA Active, there's a 30-day challenge, that I've committed to doing. Luckily, this is day 3, a designated day of rest. w00t w00t!
Although a weird thing happened yesterday. I worked out, I went to work and we had a huge potluck (dubbed Cholesterol Tuesday) ...and I didn't feel like eating. I did have a plate of food though, since I hadn't eaten at all for the day. Later, I had a few more pieces of chicken curry (yum! thank you T and T's mom!!) and then I pigged out on the pineapple that was leftover. Pineapple! Not the donuts or fudge...pineapple! And it was good! lol
I weigh in today. Nervous? Yes....but I think I did ok for the week. Really been trying to get my water in and now, with the exercise, I'm hoping to see a very positive number :)
We shall see......

Exercise
Yea, that's a bad word :P
So, I really don't want to plateau *at all* ...I know that's not a realistic expectation, but I really need to do everything in my power to see that it doesn't happen. That means exercise. Ugh.
Went to a small comic-book convention yesterday. Walked/stood around for an hour, then I sat. Jay really wanted to shop, and I'm all for that, since it's the main reason we go, so Diana and I sat on the sidelines while he shopped. Since I was an early sitter, I got a chair! I noticed later that the sidelines were filling up quickly with people going thru their purchases and relaxing...and they were sitting on the floor. Nothing wrong with that, but nobody wants to see the fat girl roll herself into a standing position. lol
At least my hour of walking around, plus walking to/from the car counted as *some* activity. Every little bit helps.
But, it's still not *exercise* per se. Today I did it, I bit the bullet. I started EA Active again. I dropped the kid off at school, watched a bit of tv, then said "I gotta do this" and started up the wii. It has been a year since I last touched EA Active. I WILL FINISH THIS 30 DAY CHALLENGE! yup, you read it here first, folks.
Day One: I feel revved, I feel jazzed, I feel like I'm gonna be in a lot of pain tomorrow!
Ah, Day Three...I look forward to you the most. You are my day of rest! lol
Ok, gotta pack a lunch/dinner and go to work!

Ah-three Ah-point Ah-two
Yup, I lost 3.2 this week! w00t w00t!
I was really worried about the week-2 curse, but I seem to be ok! Now, gotta start working out so I don't lose this momentum!!
I did walk upstairs to the training room today, and then back down. Out of breath and sweaty much? gross! Can't wait til I don't feel like that after going up one flight of stairs!!
I'm pretty pumped! I know it's only been two weeks, but I'm at a total of 8.2 now! yay!

and back to work today :(
What a great 3-day weekend. I don't feel like I did much, but I'm ok with that! I managed to stay on program and continued to journal everything, which is a pretty good accomplishment for me! I had a huge bowl of raisin bran last night with milk. It was so good. I really really really love raisin bran!
Back to work today. The only stinky thing about having 3 days off, is that my 5-day streak at work starts on Tuesday....meaning, I'm working Saturday. Not a big deal, but I love having Saturday to myself :) Oh well....
And, my week's thrown off today, so tomorrow's actually weigh-in! What? How did that sneak in there? I'm concerned for tomorrow's weigh-in. I've stayed on program and have not deviated. But, week 2 curse: after you lose your water weight in week one, you see a smaller number on week two as you actually start to lose fat. Just gonna try to up my water intake today (I've been slacking a bit while home, I will admit to that) and see if it helps. Yes, exercise would have been my friend this past week, but I can't change what I shoulda/coulda/woulda done!
No, I don't see exercise in today's forecast either :P
