I was 136.8 all week...

but now I am back up to 139.4!
I did start my period today, though. Hopefully I will drop back down in a few days.

I started the 30 day squat challenge and am on day 4.  Besides running and the elliptical, that is the only lower body toning I plan on doing this month to see how to works!

I took Lila on a 40 min walk today, and yesterday I ran 2 miles.  I got new running shoes and my right foot (the one I broke last year) was bothering me and my stomach was upset, so that was all I was able to do.  Friday I went to the gym and did 40 min on the elliptical and upper body weights and abs.  I am still really sore from the weights!

I should end today at 1250 calories.
For breakfast:
pb puffins and a few slices of apple with pb
Lunch- grilled chicken, salad, and corn, lemon thin cookies.
Dinner- grilled chicken caesar salad
Snack- granola bar at work.

I had 3 nights of self defense training this week until midnight and I ate so much crap!  I would get so tired and hungry at 10 pm.

139...for no reason!

I really do not understand why I am gaining so much weight!  Seriously 8 pds in 7 weeks now.  This is just what happened the spring before I got pregnant with Lila.
I have been watching what I am eating all week and working out and it is going up every day.

I am getting obsessed with weighing more than once a day now that I don't keep my scale in a closet.  Our new bathroom is a large enough to have it out all the time, and I have no self control!

I am ending today at under 1400.  I am not planning on working out today.  I really am going to concentrate on getting stronger and working out this summer and try not to worry as much about my weight.  Especially since it seems hard for me to lose weight when I am going to the gym!

134.4

But I have been very bad about tracking calories.  I thought I did ok yesterday, but I checked at the end of the day and I was over 1600.
We moved last week, so I have not been working out at all.  I am going to start working out on Monday and go to my new gym.  I have not tracked today but I know I did better than yesterday,

Breakfast - homemade cinnamon roll - last one!
Lunch-tuna, triscuits and babybell cheese.
Dinner- 2 pieces of frozen pizza and peaches

Next day, down to 135.0

I feel a bit better about that!  I packed our scale yesterday so I won't be weighing for a few days.  I ended that first day at 1215 for calories.  I did not track today or yesterday but I haven't been eating too bad.

I am so happy I tracked down a box of Barbara's peanut butter puffins cereal.  It is my favorite breakfast (with almond milk) and the the only place that has it is Whole Foods and Trader Joe's.  I finally got to TJ's yesterday and there was none on the shelf.  I have been out for about a month.  They went in the back and got one off the pallet for me.  I am stocked up with 2 boxes until my Amazon shipment of 4 boxes comes May 10th.  It is my fav 150 cal breakfast!

I got deli meat and had a sandwich for lunch (and pb puffins for breakfast).  We are bringing our first load of boxes to our new house tonight and I don't know what I am eating.  Maybe coming back here for a sandwich, maybe ordering a pizza at the new place.

I am having maintaining problems. Up to 137.2!

The scary part is that on March 15th I was down to 131.0!  I think it was just a one day fluke.  I was stressed out that week because we sold our house in one day so I was house shopping all week with our realtor.  I was just having a small bag of trail mix (cashews, almonds, and dark chocolate chunks, my fav) for lunch and then maybe some cheese and crackers or a salad when I got home. I didn't eat a real meal all week.  The next week we went out to dinner a few times and I started gaining weight.
I am on my period right now, so I will probably go down to 135 in a few days.  I was hanging out around 132.8/133 so I just really want to get back down there.  I haven't been tracking calories for months either, I am going to start doing that!  Plus, I have been hungover 3 times this last month so then I eat whatever I want all day, which is really bad!  I had 1.5 margaritas Friday night and had a hangover!

We are moving in 2 days and I am dreading it because we are planning to get takeout or pizza.  I decided I was going to get a bunch of deli meat tomorrow and just try to have sandwiches and protein shakes, but I know Lee will try to convince me otherwise!

Here is what I ate today:
Breakfast- whole wheat english muffin - 1/2 pb and 1/2 butter
Lunch- I had a chicken caesar sandwich.  Chicken mixed with caesar dressing, topped with parm cheese and lettuce on a toasted bun.  Leftovers, but I love that sandwich.
Snack - chobani bite yogurt
Dinner- I think I am going to make a protein shake.  Lee is in Dallas until last tonight so I am going to feed the kids leftovers.  My mom and I are taking the kids swimming at the indoor pool.

My WORKOUTS-
Going to start mixing things up.  I said last month that I miss the gym, and then I got a call from a local gym offering a great deal, so I am joining Aspen fitness next week.  I really want to tone up, I feel weak after just doing yoga once a week lately and that is it.

I think my goal is going to be 130 by July 1 and 125 by Sept 1.  These last 10 pds are always the hardest for me. I was feeling pretty good at 132, but I feel SO FAT and bloated at 137.

132.8

I was down to 131.8 last week, but up again.  It has been cold, so I have not been running.  I missing it!  I am hoping by March I will be back into it for sure.  I have just been doing yoga and pilates.  I am finally feeling like my normal self!

This diet sucked!

We did not do 3 days.  I lost 1.4 pounds after 2 days.  Lee lost 3.  Supposedly you are able to lose up to 10 pounds in 3 days.  The worst part was eating the hard boiled egg for lunch on the 2nd day.  I had to hold my nose and ended up gagging!  It was 1000 cal a day and the food combination was supposed to help you lose weight by way of chemical breakdown.  It is a fraud!
