10 Day Challenge

Post Challenge - Day 11
10 Day Challenge (2)
I was crazy busy at work today and tomorrow will be just as crazy. I'm trying to get stuff wrapped up (or just under control) for when I'm out of town. My weight: 141. Still kicking myself over Saturday/Sunday. I'm trying to pull it together a bit before NY but I've only got 1 more day and I'm all over the place trying to get ready to go. For now, it is what it is. I know how I'll eat in NY which is neither on plan nor horrible. It's usually somewhere in the middle. So the plan is to start ...

Well, here we are at Day 10 and my weight...lol exactly what it was when I started this challenge - 142. Have I mentioned how much I regret Saturday night (and the associated recuperation on Sunday)? If it hadn't been for that, I'd still be in the 130s. I've still got 2 days before I go to NY so perhaps I can get back down a bit before I go. This just goes to show that if you find yourself having a cheat day every week or so, it can undo all your hard work! Is it really worth it? Weight: ...

No weigh-in for me today. I can tell I'm soooo poofed up from all the salt (and carbs) yesterday so I know the results will not be good. Tomorrow is the end of the 10 days but I don't leave for NY til Friday so I'll extend my challenge thru Thursday. I'm not sure why I picked a 10 day challenge other than the fact a 12 day challenge seems odd...or maybe I'm just bad at math! Here's an example of why not to let the scale get you down. Yesterday (after hurling the night before and being generally dehydrated), I ...

The good news: I'm 138. The bad news: I'm completely hungover. Let's just say 4 (or was it 5?) caipirinhas is a REALLY bad idea (especially when all you've add for dinner is trout and cauliflower mash). Low carb and free drinks do not work well together! My sister and I met a very nice couple at the bar but they kept buying us drinks! I had a ton of fun with my sis, but I totally overdid it so I attribute my stunning LOL 1.5 drop from yesterday to being massively pukey last night and totally dehydrated this morning. ...

Hello 130s! I'm going out to dinner with my sister so we'll see how that goes! I'm running out of food but too lazy to go to the store so not sure what lunch will be. Weight: 139.5 Breakfast: 1 fried egg Lunch: Not sure - probably salad bar or something Dinner: Pecan Crusted Trout with cauliflower mash or veggies

TGIF! This week has both gone by quickly and seemed long at the same time. I'm not sure how that happens LOL. I've been proud that I have been eating good all week even with pool opening stress and forgetting my lunch and stuff. Tomorrow I'm going out to dinner with my sister. We're going to a place that's known for it's seafood so I already know I'm getting the Pecan-Crusted Trout. This place even has cauliflower mash so as long as I can stick with wine instead of the mojito, I should do pretty well! My tummy is looking ...

I was very disorganized this morning and forgot to weigh so I'll update my weight when I get home (although I had too many nuts yesterday I think - we'll see how that goes!). I didn't have anything to bring for lunch for today so I was planning on just getting a salad. I brought 2 EAS shakes and a cottage cheese and then promptly left them at my off-site work location, but I ate later today so I don't think I'll need them anyway (I just have to remember to get them out of that refrigerator sometime in the ...

I'm so predictable. Another .5 lb down. Whenever I go about losing weight, .5 lb per day seems to be my average. In the past, even if I didn't lose one day, the next day I would be down 1 lb so it would all average out. It's like that Seinfeld episode where he realizes his life always balances out. The meals I have been eating seem to be working well so I'm not trying to switch it up too much. The switch of dressings (from balsamic to creamy italian) was a welcome change. The previous day the balsamic dressing ...

I woke up another .5 lb down - horay! I think this challenge isn't so much about the actual losing weight part but more proving to myself that if I actually make the effort, I CAN get back down to where I want to be. I have been half-assing it for too long, mainly because I wasn't unhappy with my weight and I've been pretty happy in maintenance. Honestly, in clothes I look almost the same at 140 as I do at 133 so it's just a numbers game. But, I always said 140 was my oh-crap weight and when I ...

I meant to post this morning but I got called off-site for work so I'm a little late posting, but I'm here! Yesterday went well and today has been good so far! I'm down .5 lb and have stuck to my plan. I made 2 fried eggs last night and put them in a tupperware and took them to work today to reheat. I was nervous about how they would reheat, but they were just fine! So I'll be doing that from now on! Tomorrow's menu will be similar but I'll be having a turkey burger with salsa for dinner since ...
