School starts, here we go!

Tomorrow I'll be at school.  My bag has a list next to of of things to remember to bring with me- to stock my fridge.  (Yes, I have room for a fridge this year- hip hooray for moving to a new classroom!!) 

It's also sitting by my scale, which being Monday, I stepped on.  259.0-- it's a LOSS!  It's a loss of 2.4 since I weighed in last.  GO ME!!!  I really wasn't excited to be back in the 260's, and I am glad to have inched myself out of them.

This last week I have been careful about eating.  I also made sure to drink.  A lot.  My allergies (darn fires!) did act up, and I switched meds, which have helped some.  But they also make me very foggy.  I didn't run from zombies much, just 3 times, but it's 3 times more than I've been exercising.  So again, a step in the right direction.

It's Monday, my last day of freedom.  I'm going to go run from Zombies and make sure my teen doesn't find a way to slip back to sleep! 

Had a loss of 2 pounds over the last week.  Cheers!!!!

Meeting the scale, again.

Ignore my toes- I planned on painting last night, and instead I fell asleep.  This morning my old friend made a reappearance.  I've not pictured it in awhile, so here we go.   259.2.  A gain, too close to a number I don't want to be again, and too far from a number I was so excited to see earlier this year.

Today I'll start my plan.  No soda, supplements, weight & cardio, and being better at being healthy.  My goal is to eat most of the time from something with no box around it.  Fresh, canned (fruits, hate canned veggies) and frozen.

I've got my nifty exercise journal I found on clearance at B&N, and I pinned a load of things to help out also.

I will not get in a habit of weighing every day again. I became too stressed and obsessed.  But I will weigh in, officially, twice a week.  Monday and Thursday.

Weigh In, no I've not forgotten

So, I've not forgotten about posting & weighing in.  I just decided that this year I want it to be more of a every 2 weeks or so.  I don't want to let my scale run my life.  Not as I'm losing... if I find myself slipping the other direction, I'll be sure to take notice before it gets too far.  But, for right now, I know that I am doing pretty good, and I can handle hopping on the scale less frequently.

This morning I weighed in at 248.6, which is a loss of 3.8 so for for 2012.  Heading in the right direction, but slow.  I'm still in my "hump" of 248-254.  I will be more excited when I seem to break that!!

Happy 2012!
