Hubby on Board

Well, last week's weigh in was just whatever. But IT WAS A LOSS! Another half pound out of my way! I have since caught a cold so I haven't wanted to do anything but sit on my couch with a blanket and pillow. My appetite comes and goes. One minute I'm starving and the next just the thought of food makes me want to hurl. I've had a lot of yogurt and granola & nutrigrain (style) bars. Other than that, veggies and meat... and soup.

Last week hubby decided he is ready to lose some chub too! This is great news because I would love to have a chub loss buddy! So we've been good this week. I hope it sticks. I mean... IT WILL STICK!

It's always interesting to find food for hubby and I to eat AND that the baby will like. There are some things that I don't blame her for turning her nose up to! hehe. I just keep telling myself that this will get easier. I just need to get more creative!

Once this illness goes away, I will focus on walking this week.

Tomorrow is Halloween and today I will be baking some brownies to make ghost brownies to take to tomorrow's work potluck. I have a HUGE weakness for brownies. Hubby is questioning my strength. Do I have what it takes to avoid the all too tempting brownie creation?? Stay tuned!

Oopsie!!

Well, in all honesty... last week's chub loss effort was TERRIBLE. I did weigh in .3 lbs lighter... so it's still moving in the right direction. And, considering how bad I did with my "goals"... I guess I'm not that surprised. I didn't walk. I didn't do well with water. It was just bad. Bad bad girl. Time to step up my game! WTH is my problem?! Why am I being so lazy??

I weigh in in 3 days... what can I do in 3 days to work my butt off? Let's see... I'm going to clean this house like crazy. I'm organizing, getting rid of stuff, etc. etc. I will drink a lot of water if it kills me... and I will take the baby for a walk tonight, walk on my lunch break tomorrow, walk tomorrow night and Tuesday. While the weather is still super nice, I'd like to get down to the beach and do some walking there.

Time to get off this computer and off my butt. Sitting here won't get my heart pumping!! My next blogpost WILL bring happy news. I promise it. :)

Week 1 - Feelin' a Little Lighter...

This chub loss mission is off to a great start! Down 3.1lbs! WEEEEEEEE!! I'm very excited about this. I was actually kinda shocked because I definitely got off the program a few times. But it's a new week and I'm going to try even harder! This week's focus is going to be water and walking. My goal is to walk 4 times this week. This won't be such an easy task with the hills in this neighborhood! But if my super awesomely brave chub loss sister can do Insanity every frickin day... I can handle hills. I want to try Insanity... ONE DAY. But that's in the future. Haha. Let's focus on the task at hand first! :)

A couple of things to do this week: Invest in a pedometer. Find a couple new HEALTHY recipes to try (chicken soup anyone? ;-)). Up my water intake. Clean up the spare bedroom to make room for exercising (and uncover my dumbbells... I know they're in there somewhere)! Time to get some work in on my arms.

My new insecurity is my arms. Way too much chub there if you ask me. Oh how I miss the days of feeling good about my body! I can't wait to be there again! One step, one day, one ounce of water, one healthy "Point", and one dumbbell lift at a time... I will get there!

Here we go!

I did it! I signed up for Weight Watchers Online! Whew! Now to come up with a game plan.

Next plan of action: sign up at a local gym. :) In the meantime, we'll squeeze in some family walks.

Today's main focus: Drinking lots of water. This has always been an issue with me. I've never liked drinking much water unless it was ice cold. Even then, I'd prefer to drink a diet soda. My goal is to cut out soda completely. Hubby and I have been working on that for a while. Now to just make it a priority!

I'm so sick of all this chub! Since giving birth to the princess, I've gained too much chub. I don't want to get winded walking upstairs anymore. I don't want to struggle with getting dressed. I don't want to see this pooch at my waistline anymore. I want to look good in pictures. I want to be proud of myself for taking care of my body. I want to feel like I've accomplished something... for once!

On to the NEXT step!
