Day 68 & 69-Postgrad

Here are my points: My post is long and unorganized today. 13(WI)+6(today)+5(yesterday)=24

Today: I went to weigh-in this morning. I'm down 3 pounds!!! That's a total of 16.2. +5
I'm also down on inches-1 inch on hips, 1/2 inch on bust, 1 inch on thighs. +3

I'm so off on my goals. I did exercise 3 times for last weeks weigh in and so I'm counting those points but I didn't really have a goal this week. I think I will stick to weighing in on Mondays. Those people this morning were really energetic.

Chai latte-4

Lunch: WW dinner-5

Lucky me, I was woken up at 6 by my mother in law being incapable of handling anything on her own. I want to bed at 1:30.

I was way too tired yesterday to do my workout when I got home, even though that was the plan. I have got to get some sleep sometime soon.

DAY 65-MANDA

I am thinking ice cream in Gurthrie, on Thursday night if that might work for you. I know it is not as good as yogurt, but I am swamped this week....probably because I didn't get much studying done over the long weekend.

Next week is review week and then test block is here, so I am feeling the pressure. :)

26/23 (used 3 weeklies)

The parents are supposed to be cooking healthy for me today. We shall see, haha. I can't weigh in today because WW is closed. I will try to weigh in tomorrow but I also have meditation class tomorrow so it may be Wednesday. I will go ahead and do my measurements so I can at least stay consistent with that.

Big plans for the day? I love no work Mondays!!!

Daily: Fruits/veggies, dairy, tracking, 8 hours, protein, oil, limited sugar/alcohol, NSV(the parents had all sorts of goodies in the house. I resisted, haha-just barely). I also can't remember for the life of me if I took my vitamin this morning or not. I remember thinking that I should take it because I wouldn't be home for dinner but now I can't remember if I thought it or I did it. I don't want to take one tonight if I already took one today-Am I losing my mind? 8 for today.

DAY 63-MANDA

Wow, I haven't slept until 11 in a long time!
Probably go light on the breakfast.

The Core plan is going well. I feel better about it, but yesterday I was really hungry. I think it was probably knowing that I couldn't have certain things that made me want them even more (PB), so I had some. I still have to go grocery shopping, which I plan on doing today, so after that I think I will have a better selection of food.

Also, I am super proud of you on the working out thing! Your weight loss and hard work is really showing! I could definitely tell you'd been toning up the last time we hung out!

23/23

So I put the bid in on the house yesterday afternoon. They have til 5pm today to respond. Connie thinks that we're totally gonna get it. I'm really nervous so I'm trying to preoccupy myself. One the ideas is to workout. It's so funny now but after working out a couple times a week I feel guiltly when I'm home for the evening and I don't work out. It's like I'm doing something wrong. I guess that means it's sticking-haha.

How is the core plan going? I'm going to make some pumpkin muffins today because they sound really good. Can you eat those? I was going to drop some off for you and James so that way I don't have 24 muffins just sitting around my house. I don't want to give you something though that you can't eat.

Daily: water, vitamin, protein, fruits/veggies, dairy, tracking, 8 hours, limited sugar/alcohol, activity(30 day shred), NSV(no m&m's, this is the 2nd time I've planned on eating them and haven't-bummer). 10 for today.

This buying a house thing it taking it's toll on me. They countered back again and I already gave them my best offer. Damn, I really thought that was my house.

This week would be great to get together. Would Wednesday orThursday work for you? Or I have to be in Stillwater for banquet on Friday-we could get frozen yogurt afterwards.
