Weigh-in Wednesday - Ups and Downs

180.3lbs this morning. Down half a pound from last week but still up 2lbs from 2 weeks ago. I'm disappointed, I'm not going to lie. I'm really up and down the last few weeks. I regained my focus and then I majorly fell off the wagon, for a week and then I got back on track this week.

In terms of exercise, as you know I completed my 2nd 6 Week Challenge on More Workouts and now I'm focusing on Gold's Cardio Gym (Boxing) on the Wii, some fitness DVD's and Wii Fit Plus. I'm also getting serious about my half marathon training. It's just over three months away so I need to get back on track with my running and follow my training plan.

I can't believe that February is almost finished. I'm on track for Fitness February, I've exercised everyday this month so far. We're going away this weekend (Thursday to Sunday) and I've already planned ahead to make sure I get exercising every day!

I did an exercise DVD yesterday for the first time since before we got the Wii in October and it was great! It was nice to do something different and to see how far I've come. I was able to do the entire workout properly without making any short cuts, plus added two extra sections for 50 minutes total. I can feel my muscles today, but it's all good. I know EA Sports Active really helped me with that because I could do the lunges, squats and all the exercises for that matter, correctly and I felt SO strong. That really gave me a boost, to see my progress in a different way, to feel it and not just worry about what the scale or the tape measure say. I felt good, and that was awesome!

Last but not least, check out the Bronze Medal I won over at the Shinking Jeans Olympics!! One for Wall Sit and Jumping Jacks! I was so excited to win!! :) It was a lot of fun to participate but I still can't get over the numbers some ladies put up for Hula Hoop!! CRAZY!

Well I have a TON of stuff to do before our trip so I hope everyone has a great week. Let me know how you did this week. What are the ups and downs you struggle with?

Weigh-in Wednesday - Hello 170's I've arrived!

I'm really sad that I only discovered shrinkingjeans.net recently! I really like the site and thought the Monday challenges look interesting. I will definitely follow along with the next challenge!

This morning the scale said 178.3lbs. I'm down 5.7lbs from last week and 33.7lbs total. Since December 30th I've lost 9.1lbs.

Last week I decided to get out of my slump, to be positive and to get back on track. And I DID IT! I like planning and structure and that is what gets me results. Last week I said I would do certain things to help me succeed:

• Journal my food everyday(starting that Wednesday)
• Exercise everyday
• Be positive
• Read blogs that inspire me
• Make healthy choices

Weigh-in Wednesday - Fitness February

Yes I have been down in the dumps however I decided I don't want to stay down in the dumps and watch the scale go up and up. That will NOT happen. I'm feeling better, I need to be positive and I promise I am feeling positive (not just faking it). What helped to change my attitude?

Weigh-in Wednesday - I'm struggling

I'm disappointed in myself. I lost momentum after the holidays, in terms of food. As you know, I've been doing great with the exercise, not missing a day, doing both EA Active and Wii Fit Plus everyday. However, I've been struggling with food. Last week I got my meals on track, eating better, but I've been snacking on junk. I'm so annoyed that I'm even writing that. But I have to be honest if nothing else. This morning I was 184.5lbs, up 0.9lbs from last week, down 27.5lbs total. On the bright side, it was less than a pound.

Weigh-in Wednesday - The Journey continues

Here we are, post Christmas and New Years. Just like that it's all over in a flash and I'm left with an extra 2lbs. As of this morning I am 185.3lbs. I have seen so many of you wonderful ladies on Twitter and on your blogs say you've lost weight over the holidays which is amazing but I am being honest and saying no I didn't lose any weight over the holidays but I'm not going to beat myself up over it! I slacked on EA Active More Workouts, but I did control myself more than I have in the past and I did my 10k Snowflake run which I finished in 1:11:38.

Weigh-in Wednesday - I don't like the scale during the holidays

Well the scale was not kind to me. I'm at 184.9lbs, up 1.6lbs. I was seriously disappointed. I've been doing well with my meals, but over the weekend yes I did indulge in chocolate that my in-laws brought from Ireland. And my mom had a Christmas party with all my friends and I couldn't resist a butter tart, brownie or roast potatoes with gravy. Ugh. So now I'm really thinking that getting to 179lbs for the New Year won't be possible. I just want to stay the same at least and not gain anymore.

Weigh-in Wednesday - So close to Pre-Baby Weight!

I was really looking forward to this weigh-in because I did really well with my food choices this week. I almost always chose healthy snacks over junk, and when I did have chocolate I had a Dairy Milk Thins which is only 100 calories. I missed my Thursday run last week but I ran an excellent 10k on Sunday in 1hr11min and of course I've been continuing with my 6 week challenge on More Workouts.

Thank Goodness it's Friday

I'm not posting a Fitness Friday post because I didn't feel so focused on fitness this week. I have a cough/cold and both my boys are sick, so I haven't slept much this week. But here's my week in review.

Weigh-in Wednesday - I'm back on Track

I decided I feel positive, I want to keep this post positive. I'm down .4lbs this week. It's not much however, I was very happy to see the scale go down, rather than up. I had a rough week. As I mentioned in my last post. But since Monday night I'm feeling better, I decided to snap out of it and yesterday was a good day and today is going to be a good day.

Weigh-in Wednesday - Eating Out

Well this week wasn't so great. I'm down .6lbs so I'm happy about that but obviously I was hoping for a 2lbs loss. I went out for two birthday dinners over the weekend and had quite a few Vodka's with my friend for her birthday, so I guess that's what did it. I'm still a bit surprised because I made really good choices while I was eating out and at home I was as diligent as ever.

Weigh-in Wednesday - I Can do this, I AM doing this!

6 weeks after giving birth I had reached 212lbs and decided enough was enough. I had never been successful at losing weight before, maybe 5-10lbs and this time I had 72lbs to lose! I thought how the heck am I going to do this? What a big number. So I made small goals, first 5lbs, 10lbs and I was hitting them, small goal after small goal. So this morning I hit a few goals.
