Bootcamp!

I'm signed up for group coupon email lists and today's deal was a 2 week bootcamp session for $30! (regular price is $80) so I signed up. I really want to lose 10lbs in June and look good for our trip. I need to get my butt in gear, and this is the best way to do it.

I'll keep the blog posted as to how it goes. TTFN, Morgaine.

Weekly Update 29/05/10

Here are yesterday's numbers:

Weight: 180.5lbs - down 0.5lbs since last week :(
Gym visits: I only went once BUT went for a walk on Saturday, swimming on Sunday and another walk on Thursday
No junk days: 1! This week included A LOT of eating out and drinking! I ate out for lunch everyday because we went away for the long weekend, we didn't get groceries. We also eat out for dinner on Tuesday (concert), Thursday (fun night) and Saturday. But, I only went over my weekly points by 10.5 - much better than the 17.5 I went over last week. Still, lots of room for improvement!

Luckily, June should be a less hectic month, so I'm really thinking that my lose 10lbs goal in June is totally doable. I just have to eat better and go to the gym a bit more :) TTFN, Morgaine.

June Goal - Lose 10 Pounds!

I feel that I didn't do as well in May, diet and exercise wise than I could have, so I think its time to step it up and give myself a challenge! Lose 10 pounds. Whatever I weigh on June 1st I want to weigh at least 10 lbs less on July 1st. June isn't a super busy month, I just have to stay away from patios and alcoholic beverages! Oh, and the snacky foods that accompany them. Thank goodness that this weekend is still in May - its the bf's birthday weekend and I know we're going to Indian buffet for dinner and we will be going to the movies (junk food!) and I'm baking cupcakes tonight - shhh its a surprise ;) But, we are planning on going to the gym tomorrow so at least it won't be all harmful :)

However, in June there is  my friend's baby shower and a BBQ, gotta watch the munchies on that day too. Other than that, we don't have any plans for any special events in June. Also, I want to set a goal of not eating out for lunch at all during the week, and eating out for dinner only once a week in June. We'll see how that goes!

Anyways, I'll post my regular weekly update tomorrow. TTFN, Morgaine.

Weekly Update 24/05/10

Sorry this is late, we had to speed outta here on Saturday morning - but the figures are from Saturday:

Weight: 181lbs - down 1lbs since last week
Gym visits: 2 times plus an hour walk
No junk days: 2! Really bad this week, I was over my daily points by 17.5!!! I REALLY have to do better this week.

I don't feel too bad about how I ate this weekend, but I know I have to do better this week than I did last week. I really want to be under 180lbs for the end of this month! I write a bit later about this weekend, right now we just got back from a 5 and a half hour car trip and just want to relax. TTFN, Morgaine.

Weekly Update 15/05/10

Weight 182.0lbs - down 0.5lbs since last week
Gym vistis: 1 - hopefully another this weekend???
No junk days: 2 - I counted butter chicken and pizza as junk so Monday and Friday didn't count
Still, I had 23.5 weekly points remaining and 5 activity points earned. My goal for next week is to only use 5 splurge points. I REALLY want to get to under 180lbs before the end of May.

I fell into temptation a couple of times, particularly the pizza yesterday. I have to learn to say no to something just because its quick and convenient. Also, we decided to only have one "heavy" (i.e. pasta) dish per week. We're going to try to stick more to whole grain rice as a side dish and of course, veggies.

And, of course, gotta go to the gym more. I'm not sure about this weekend, its looking to be busy, hopefully I can at least get a walk in. And definitely at least 2 times during the week.

I'm meeting up with a friend for dinner at a pub, hopefully they have a nice dinner salad! Oh, and rum and diet coke has 110 calories (2 points), so I will be limiting this as well.

Ok, off to start the day. TTFN, Morgaine.

Weekly Update 08/05/10

Weight: 182.5lbs - down 2lbs since last week and 5.5lbs since beginning of April!
Gym: only once this week, but planning on going today
No junk days: Friday night I spent some splurge points on chicken fingers and french fries. Otherthan that, I was good the whole week!

Last week I had 22 splurge points left over and 6 activity points not used. They reset every Saturday.

On to the gym! TTFN, Morgaine.

Weekly Update and Weight Watchers - Week 1

Weight: 184.5lbs - down 0.5lbs
Gym Visits: 1 - and likely no more
No junk days: 4

So slight improvement in weight and definite improvement in no junk days (obviously weight watchers!) This was a busy week hence the lack of gym visits, but also its "that time" so I really don't feel like it this weekend. By Tuesday I should be feeling up to it again and be back to 3 times per week.

I'm also going to add my WW (weight watchers) weekly points here.
Splurge points left 22.5 (out of 35 - so 12.5 used)
Activity points 9
Mostly used the splurge points on Thai food on Wednesday (had a friend over) and Friday when we went out to Jack Astor's and I had a coffee and cookie after the show I took my mom for mother's day.

Not too bad, still room for improvement. Oh, and no more pop this weekend and I've had my 8 glasses (or more) of water every day - 2 weeks now! That's all I can think of for now.

TTFN, Morgaine.
