Aaaaaand I'm officially annoyed, discouraged, frustrated... What's the point of eating so well if I don't see any progress?! Grrrrr!
This week I'll still eat well. I'll still exercise. If I don't see a lower number on the scale on Monday, I reserve the right to be truly pissed off. And then I'll have to re-evaluate my process... but if it means I'll have to work even harder, I don't know what I'm gonna do...

Monday's weigh in... a little late!
Current weight: 185
I weighed in on Monday morning. I didn't lose anything from the previous week which is annoying, but I also didn't do Jillian--I did exercise 3 times, but it was walking, not anything hard core. I followed South Beach 95% of the time, splurged once on some Oreos. But honestly, I doubt that three oreos could derail everything. I've come to believe that weight loss stalls out sometime but that's no reason to stop trying. Besides, some of my pants are fitting better already and Malcom says he's noticed my weight loss. :)
This week: I'll exercise four times--yes still a goal of four, I KNOW I can do it--and stick to South Beach. I hope to see progress again on Monday!

Holly Weigh-In: 7-14-11
Before I forget (because you know I will)I weighed in this morning at 180.4. Soooo glad my weight is done bouncing around from post-San Diego sunburn trauma. I'm back to eating smaller (or maybe just appropriate?) portions though I'm not logging every single calorie I put in my mouth. Some days I do, but usually I just try to eat healthier meals or if we eat out I get a kids meal, or no fries/soda, etc.... I think that snacking is my biggest pitfall. I know that a lot of people swear that a bunch of small meals is better than 3, but that just leads me to over-snacking so I'm more or less sticking with 3 normal meals and the occasional little snack in between.
I am just the worst when it comes to exercise but I have been moving around a lot more than normal because of all the home improvements we have been doing. This week my goal is to Jillian 3 times and anything else is just gravy :) Only 35 pounds to lose! I'm hoping to get to 160 by Christmas so that is 20 ish weeks to lose 20 pounds! Woot!

Lindsey Weigh In, July 4
I'm switching to a Monday weigh-in because my brain works better that way.
Starting weight: 193
Current weight: 185
I am very happy with my progress so far! I can tell I'm getting thinner because my clothes fit better and my stomach doesn't stick out as much. I only exercised two times last week and I hate that. The Jillian stuff is only 20 minutes, so I should be able to make time for it, but life sometimes gets in the way. I was perfectly faithful to the South Beach Diet though, so that's good. I got to add back in some carbs, so I'm pretty happy! I do feel a little sick of vegetables, but as soon as I eat them and they taste so good and they keep me full for so long, I remember why I like eating them.
This week's goals:
DIET: Stick to South Beach. I get to add back in another carb every day, so now I'll have three servings a day. I think I could stay there for a while. It includes cereal as long as it has lots of fiber and low sugar, plus I get to have a serving of fruit every day. And I can now have dark chocolate "occasionally;" I don't know what they mean by occasionally, so I'm trying once every three days. I don't think that'll make me gain back too much weight, especially since it's only one ounce, which is SIX hershey's kisses... that sounds like so few, but it's really a lot!
EXERCISE: I really want to work out four times this week. I know I can do it--maybe if it gets to Friday and I haven't done enough, I'll have to give up on my evenings of tv-watching and sewing to get all four workouts in. I really like the 30-day Shred and I feel like I'm getting better at it, so that's pretty motivating. I just have to focus on those size ten jeans hanging up in my room... I really want to fit back into those, so bad!! I'm hoping I can do it before 2012, but as long as I keep progressing, I'm okay with it taking a little longer. Maybe next Spring I can be skinny for a while before getting pregnant again! :p

Holly Weigh-In: 6-23-11
Starting Weight: 180.3
This Week: 180.0
Weight Lost: 0.3 lbs
Dear Birthday Weekend:
You suck. How dare you be filled with delicious high-calorie brisket, sushi, macadamia nut chicken, pie, strawberry shortcake and pulled pork sammies!! Don't you know that I am trying to lose weight?! WTF?!
Eff' you.
Sincerely,
The Fatty resentfully snacking on raw vegetables
I did not exercise. It is too hot. And I am tired. And it was my birthday week. So there.
I am back on track for my calorie counting, and I generally do really well until C goes to sleep...then I get my second wind for the day and I stay up doing homework or watching a little tv and I want to snack. I know that I'm not hungry but I am so used to snacking and eating at night that it is crazy hard to break that habit. I'm going to try to stop eating after 9 pm this week and while I'm at the beach this weekend I am going to keep to my calories as best as I can (the girls want to go to some famous hamburger bar and a gelato place too...psh) and I'm planning on taking my running shoes so that I can get in some jogging/power walking in the morning on the sand. I'm not PROMISING that will happen, but I'm going to try. I'm also going to do Jillian's video at least twice. That feels doable to me, but seriously it is just soooo hot here that it sucks all of the motivation right out of me. I just want to lay around in my underwear until the sun goes down.

Lindsey Weigh In, June 22
Starting Weight: 193
Current Weight: 190
Finally, some progress. I was getting a bit annoyed that the scale wasn't showing what I could see/feel. My clothes are fitting looser and I feel a tiny bit less jiggly, so I know I'm losing weight and toning up. Glad the numbers finally reflect that.
I did stick to the diet this week. The temptations were a little stronger on Father's Day and while I've been sick--hard to eat so strictly when there are good, comforting foods about. But I was strong. :) I also worked out 4 times, all with Jillian. She's hard core.
This week: Finish phase 1 of South Beach on Monday, start phase 2 on Tuesday--hooray for oatmeal for breakfast!! And exercising, I'll stick to 4 times a week. I think that's a good amount for me for now. I know it should be 5 or 6 times a week, but I can't commit to that yet. It's just not realistic to squeeze it in every day, ya know?
Okay, here's to hopefully more weight loss this week. I hope to see at least another 3 pounds drop before the next weigh in. Otherwise I'll feel like Phase 1 was a waste of time!

Holly weigh in 6-15-11
Last week: 182.1
This week: 180.3
Weight lost: 1.8
I'm typing this from my phone so I'll have to come back later and edit/add more. I'm not stories I didn't lose more because I had a couple days where I definitely blew my calorie limit out off the water, but I didn't gain so that's something positive! This week I want to try and do something active 4 times for at least 30 minutes. I have an exercise ball for crunches, a jump rope for cardio, free weights and my jillian michaels video. I think I'm set!
