weigh-in and goals

I love the digital scale because I can see that I've lost 0.2 pounds last week. If I still had my analog scale, I'd feel stuck!!

No, not really. Last week, with the kid's first week of summer vacation and my husband recovering from his seizures, I'm glad that I haven't binged. I haven't worked out in over 2 weeks, and I've been pretty much just eating "whatever", just to be fed.
My Mister went back to work yesterday, feeling very well. I'm adapting to the kids being home all day and to driving Mister to and from work.

This week, my goals are to:
Focus on eating vegan, low carb and low fat (veggies!!!)
Get to the gym 3 times
Drink my water

friday weigh-in

I changed my weigh-in day to Friday, my favorite day of the week. I've maintained my weight since the last weigh-in, even though I did quite a bit of emotional eating.
Overall, I really feel like I've been making progress. I've been focusing on taking care of myself in every way. I went to the dentist, dermatologist, got a mammogram, a pedicure and a haircut. LOVE my haircut. Yesterday, I went dress shopping and was happy to fit a size 14. I bought 2 dresses, 2 pair shoes and earrings. I haven't done that in YEARS!!
My husband quit his medifast weeks ago and I've been sampling his vegetarian leftovers from it. It is good! There seems to be alot of soy protein in the packets, so they upset my tummy. But in general, I'm staying away from the wine, sugar, white flour and have been vegan. Mr Jones has been doing well, following my lead in the food department, more or less, and he's started spinning. He loves it. I'm so glad for him!
Next week, the kids will be out of school, and I will need really be aware of my emotions and not overeat. My self care will be pretty much on hold until fall, unless I can learn to meet their needs and my own simultaneously. Other moms do it. It think I'll make it a goal!

weigh-in #2

We had a great weekend filled with palm fronds, puppies and my little boys. We built a great fort, and enjoyed general mayhem. I'm happy that I'm down 1.8 pounds this week.
Now it is on to Holy Week and colored eggs. Does anyone have suggestions for animal and plastic free colored egg alternatives? I'm stumped.
My goals for this week are to:
Walk at least 2 miles each day
Continue with the Bugg ( I've owned it for 3 months)
Observe Holy Week fasting (no wine, olive oil, fasting before daily services)
Have a joyful Easter (Paschal Feast)

back on track

Our vacation to San Francisco was wonderful. We walked miles and miles around that beautiful place and also ate and ate! I had quite a bit of seafood and champagne. I gained. But last week, although I did no posting here, I tracked calories, did moderate exercise and lost over 5 pounds! Its was easy and I felt amazing. then....
Yesterday and the day before, I did binge in the evening, creating a 753 and 420 calorie surplus in the process. We are on pins and needles in our house this week as we are awaiting news on a job for the Mister. He does have a good job here but there is another opportunity in a nice city 2 hours away. Of course that would mean moving, new schools, different everything -- but he would get a good raise and we would be up for the adventure. They are supposed to let us know this week if he has been selected for the job. Waiting is hard. I haven't planned our summer or even springtime events and I hate that I haven't done that.
But-- the sun is out, spring is in the air and I am back on track.
Goals for this week:
maintain last week's loss
post here daily
continue tracking calories in and out
