Up and Down.....

I am happt o report a small loss of .9 this week. I didn't think I would see a change and if I can keep working I should be getting to new lows in the next few weeks. I tracked all day today and ate much better. I am still struggling with the snacking at work part but I am trying to make them healthier. I hope grapes are one sale somewhere this week because they are always nice to snack on!

Not too sure for the plans tonight - waiting on hubby to get home but we will be out tomorrow for dinner as Grace is sleeping at Grandma and Grandpa's. She did great at my inlaws and I am hoping for the same with my parents. I got a really nice comment at daycare about her - "if all kids integrated this well my life would be easy". That was really nice to hear!

I had IMS today so no workout but we will be out for a walk as the weather has vastly improved! I hope it starts to get a but warmed soon. I can't believe we leave for Vegas on the 16th! I have been checking the weather and they are forcasting as high as 35! I need some serious sun!

So Good!

I got in for a workout today and it felt so good! I got some great new moves to help with the shins and they were intense! I was so sweaty and it felt great! My eating was better today but still not on point and I will be starting my tracking again tomorrow. I don't think I will see a change on the scale but next week I will for sure. Now that we are back to regular work weeks I will be able to get to the gym 3 days next week and I am really looking forward to getting back at it. I have still been walking a lot but I really need to get more than that done! Some of the new moves helped me realize just how weak I have gotten in the last year, I will remember with my next pregnancy to keep up with strength training!

We are getting back on budget and to help myself I am going to start meal planning again. I let it go a while ago for some unknown reason and never really got back to it. I find we eat better and it's cheaper because I am not running to the store all the time. I am going to try and have one big shop on Sunday and only have to go in for fresh fruit and veggies. I really want this to become the "norm" for us. Well I am enjoying the first game of of the second round of the stanley cup playoffs for our Vancouver Canucks! Have a great night everyone!

Bad Everything.....

Well folks I have been busy and away from kind of everything. I did not make it into the gym like I had wanted to on Friday, I did substitue a nice walk in but it's not enough. Saturday night grace had her first sleepover with my inlaws.....and it went great! She will be sleeping one night at my parents this weekend and hopefully it will be just as good. We are trying to get her ready for Vegas...so she is used to not sleeping at home. She is doing so well at daycare that I am feeling as good as I can about leaving her. I know we need it and it's not going to hurt her but it makes me sad! For Easter on Sunday I got 2 really good walks in and then didn't over do it at dinner. The nerves from the hockey game had me too amped!

My eating has been off and on and I really need to get my ass in gear. I was up 2.2 last week, my guess is all the snacking and I don't think the scale is going to move much this week. I am going for a workout tomorrow and my eating is getting better...one step at a time. I am so happy my Canucks made it through the first round of the playoffs...I nearly had a heart attack watching the games!

Well my goals for this week are to get on here more, eat better, track and move!

Munchy

Still struggling a bit with the work day munchies. I am working on it and it is getting better but I really need to get my barings. I don't know what it is about getting back to work but I am a little backed up and it's getting a bit uncomfortable....I will take a probiotic before bed tonight and hope it works it's magic!

I am really looking forward to a 4 day weekend =) It's a nice way to get back into things. I think I am munching partly because of the stress from work, I am finding it hard to deal with all the personalities at work right now and find I am falling back into old, bad habits.....A new, good habit will be going to the gym tomorrow while Grace has her nap. I am really looking forward to getting a regularity to my workouts and hopefully my running class will start soon!

Well I am watching the hockey game and need to concentrate! Happy Easter everyone!

One Step at a Time

Today I got back to the gym and saw the sign that they would be open Friday monring =) I am going....I will get Grace down for her first nap and then leave her and hubby at home and get my workout on! It felt so good to be back at the gym, I am not 100% still but it feels so good to get back! I have my painful IMS tomorrow...I am happy it is helping but wish it didn't hurt as much.

I had my second weight loss acupuncture last night and I think it is helping...I don't know if it is a mental thing but I think it's working. I am not sure I will see something good on the scale on Friday...I am actually pretty sure it won't be good but that is okay this week. My week consisted of TOM, returning to work and taking Grace to daycare and snacking....not good combos for me. I have also not planned much of anything...I am trying to correct this now but I think it is too little too late. I will do better next week!

snacky, snacky

All I want to do is eat! I thought it would be easier at work but I am finding I am always hungry and I just want to graze! I have tried having good options around but it never seems to be enough! I need to come up with different ways of dealing with this. I am going to put some gum in my drawer and see if that helps.

I had my second acupunture treatment today and I am really hoping it helps! I am super excited to get back to the gym tomorrow and can't wait for next week when I can go regularly =) I have been really missing going. I have found myseld craving the gym...it's a nice feeling =)

Oh Boy!

I have been away from here for too long! I have missed all of you and hope to kind of get caught up soon! It has been a VERY busy 2 weeks with Grace's first birthday and going back to work. Grace has been doing amazing at daycare and getting back to work has been okay too!

I weighed  in on Friday at 175.5! I was down over 1 pound and thrilled! I am hoping I can keep this going, I haven't been tracking this week so I am not sure but I am trying to make the right choices. I have found that I am very busy just trying to get myself and Grace together and out the door in one piece. My IMS has been going really well and my legs have been feeling much better. I have my second acupunture for weight loss appointment tomorrow and hopefully she won't be going away for a couple of weeks again this time because it is supposed to work better if you can have your appointments closer together. I have just under 1 month until we go to Vegas and I would like to lose as much as I can before we go. I will be getting back to the gym on Wednesday and I am really looking forward to it! I need a good sweat!
