Weekly Weigh In 9/19-9/25

Hi all.  Bad week for me to start this because I had a race yesterday and my weight always skyrockets after a race, but yay for accountability.  I know it's not real weight and it'll be gone in a few days, so I'm not worried.  :)

High weight: 320
Last week: 174.8
This week: 176.7
Current goal: 169 - One Hundred Fifty Lost/75% EWL

My weight -was- at 173.2 on Friday, so I'm getting closer!  And my scale keeps asking me if I'm my partner, so that's a good sign.  I think I need to get to 164 for that to stop, since he's super stable at 170.  

This morning I told him that I'd gained weight due to the race and that I was 276.  My brain hasn't caught up, eh?

So I realized last minute (for me) that I am going to NYC a week earlier than planned so I won't be hitting that mini goal of 162 by then lol! But I am going this Thursday, I'm super excited to go and looking forward to having a better grasp of what I can/cannot eat this year. I went a year ago when I was about 6 months out and I did completely but I wasn't comfortable with things - I second guessed everything and felt nervous about what I was eating constantly. Now I feel much more confident with what I can eat and I still travel with pre-measured baggies of beef jerky and mini protein bars just in case I can't find absolutely anything to eat but I almost never have to use them.

High weight: 377

Last week: 165

This week: 164

Next goal: 159 by 10/13 when I go to Universal

Dream Goal: 149 (High end of 'Normal' BMI)

So I have to ask, what are your mini protein bars?? I am sure you rocked NYC too!

These - they're 100 calories, which are the lowest calories that I've found in protein bars that I like the flavors of. They fill me up too. I don't eat them very often and actually didn't eat any in NY lol, but I had them just in case. I keep them in my purse if I have to work late or if there is construction and I end up sitting on the highway for an hour - which happens all too often. There are different flavors, I got them on Amazon but I can't find them on there again at a good price. I think I'm going to order direct next time since I know I like them now.

I tried some 100 calorie bars at the OAC conference from a company called Medi-weightloss. I really liked them

HW: 339

CW 140

I seem to be "stuck" at 140. It is my goal weight, but I like being a few pounds below it. I just need to get my butt back in gear to lose a few for my mental well-being. Right now I am just tired mentally and physically. The beginning of the new school year always knocks me on my ass. I will feel better by Christmas break 

I come up for air at Thanksgiving - but otherwise, yea - Christmas!

I hear you on wanting to be few pounds below.... It has been a wild ride on the scale this week for me. Need to calm it all down, and get back to routine.

Congratulations again on 8 years!! So awesome. Plan on saying that myself in the future- 8 years out and at goal. I aspire to be you :)

Still in the figuring out this maintenance thing phase... and it ain't easy.
