I am going to Secrets Wild Orchid in Montego Bay, Jamaica! We leave tomorrow. I'm procrastinating my packing in favor of some last minute BDWing. I also bought TWO bikinis (not tankinis!).

I'm up less than half a pound this week. But, to be fair, I didn't go to the gym once and I wasn't very careful with what I ate. I expect to gain some over the next week, but I'm not going to stress over it. I've just decided to eat what I want to, but to be mindful of when I'm actually hungry and to try to make sure I get enough servings of fruits and veggies. My biggest problem is that some times I eat when I'm not hungry if the food is really good. The daily drinking is going to hurt me some too, but the de-stressing is going to totally help me when I return.

My BD shoot went pretty well. There were a few poses that weren't as flattering and I didn't realize how much I needed to tone up my tushie, but overall I am pleased with the weight I ended up at for the shoot.

All of you have a great week next week, and I will see you again for the weigh in the week after that. And congrats to all you running girls. Way to run those crazy 5k,10k, half-marathon, or full marathons!

I was definitely up this week, but I blame it all on a trip to Scottsdale for a wedding:-). The company I work for is participating in a program called Shape up the Nation that begins on Monday so I will get on track after the weekend. Between this forum and my co-workers hopefully I can stay on track. It is just so hard when there are so many temptations sitting around the store.

I'm down half a pound this week.

I'm up one lb this week... one of those weeks... I'll refocus for this upcoming week and try to stay on track.

So I didn't lose much this week, .8 lbs. In fact, I've only lost 2.4 lbs to date. However, I have broken through a plateau that I haven't broken in over a year. I still have 11 lbs to go before I reach my goal weight but this gives me renewed confidence I can get there and maintain it for my wedding in October. Even Fi commented this morning that I looked good and said he can tell that I've lost weight. Woo hoo.

[Mischaka]

I went down...not sure exactly how much I just know I went down. I have fell off alot since I started losing.

Mischaka, you are past the halfway point to your goal! You are doing great, and even if you fall off the wagin, get right back on and keep going! 21 pounds is a good indicator you are doing SOMETHING right!

Sorry for the delay this week, I'll have the results up tomorrow!

 

I had a lovely weekend filled with delicious food... chocolate, strawberries, and red wine... but I was back on track today and hopefully I'll make up for it by the end of the week.

Hey ladies!!

 

This article was e-mailed to me by calorie count.com and I thought I'd share it with you

 

"A New Look at Weight Loss Plateaus"

I thought that the author did a great job explaining why the scale sometimes stops moving for us... She puts a very positive and encouraging spin on weight loss plateaus!

Hey Ladies,

 

I was up last friday and this weekend was a total drink fest for my bachelorette! I'm happy to say I'm back down a bit though and ready to get all OCD on what I'm doing and eating this week.

 

I leave for my wedding in exactly 12 days!!! YES 12! I'm excited and freaking out at the same time! My goal is to really push myself this week and lose another 5 pounds before we leave. I think I can do it... But on top of it all comes the stress of organizing everythign and getting ourselves ready too.

 

Wish me luck ladies!!
