she keeps inching her way down

that's the scale, this morning I was 247.2 yaaaaa
Also, drum roll please.....


I worked out AGAIN! I did 30min on the treadmill and I guess I did between 8 and 10 one minute runs!!! Then I went on the bike for 20min with again a bunch of 30 sec to 1min sprints. I loved it! I was all sweaty and everything. Yum!

So a question for those that track w/ WW and track your Activity points...on the slider there is a big gap between "moderate activity" and "high intensity" I've always done moderate activity. but the past 2 days I am SWEATING my ARSE off, high heart rate and defiantly working...would I just jump up to 'high intensity' or do I have to guess-timate somewhere in the middle? What do you guys do? (or would you do?)

moderate said I earned 4 AP
High saids I earned 10 AP
that is a huge difference! I accounted for 5AP's ...which really is allot to earn...

ohhh forgot to mention something

Though my time at the gym today was most fun, I did have a moment that truly reminded me why I was there. So I'm on the treadmill, walk'n away at a 3.3mph rate, 2incline. It's about 16min in to my 20min planned 'walk' and I get the urge to run. I love running, I use to run and I look forward to the day I can run again (and hope someday to do a marathon if my back will allow). So I think I'll finish off with a 1min walk/1min run sequence. So I start running, feels good! Then I think ummm I can totally feel my a#s literally bouncing up and down, off unison to my running. Almost to the point of distracting me. I am getting this visual of how attractive this must be to the people on the bikes behind me. BOING BOING BOING. nice. What ever, I have a bootie; always have always will.

GO! It feels great!

So this morning I was 247.8 I'm slowly inching back down, I am sure a bit of my weight was water retention from TOM and not drinking hardly any liquids. Also my body is probably going in to shock from all my healthy eating! I also hit the gym today, hard! and it felt wonderful. I slipped out during nap time while hubby is home. I was there for almost an hour and a half! I did 22min on the treadmill (2- 1min run's), 6min on the eliptial mch (hurting my back, remember 2 herniated discs?), 25min on the bike with 3-4 30sec. sprints. So a total of about 53 min of cardio, and I could have gone more, but I didn't want to totally over do it with my back. We'll see how she is feeling tomorrow! I then did some stretches and 2 ab sets on the big ball. I really felt like I could have spent the rest of the day there, but alas I do have other responsibilities.

I hope to get there tomorrow and sat. as well. If you are reading this, and have not been to the gym, GO! It feels so great!

Day 2 done

So I am finishing up day 2 today, and it went better. I finished up exactly at my point goal, 28 points. I did just eat 3 chips before my hubby threw out the bag but what ever.

Food Intake

cheerios + milk 3pts
pear 1pt
quesidia + salad 7pts
carrots + dip 2pts
subway 8pts
pudding 3pts
chocolate 4pts
Total 28pts

I also drank lots of water, ya for me. I hope to get to the gym tomorrow as hubby is off. I also downloaded a bunch of new songs to my MP3 player so I am excited to have some good tunes to work out to. I still want to post a Jan 1st pic...maybe tomorrow.

248 That is my number on day 2

So I finished yesterday dipping 8 points in to FP, and that was with NO CHOCOLATE!! Diner was yummy but a bit on the high side and that paired with a high point lunch = over points limit! So obviously I'll have to get back on track with watching my points, keeping lunch around 8-10 and not have 2 high point dishes for super (ham and scalloped potatoes).

I think my body is liking me drinking water again. Though I do taper off my consumption late afternoon as I hate getting up to pee in the middle of the night. One of my pet peeves. I only had to get up once last night. If the gym had child care open today, I would have gone, as my kids are driving me NUTS!!! It's extra hard over the holidays as everything is closed. At least DH starts days off tomorrow for 4 days.

OK should go get Ella out of time out. uhhggggggg!!!

249.2 that's my starting number for 2008.

So my official WI this morning has me *barely* under 250. But I'll take it last year this time I was hovering around 265. Heck it's better *only* losing 15lbs in a year than gaining even 5lbs!! I am back on tracking and counting points. I really do love WW as it is a very simple program to follow, it works and you can eat what you want, with in reason. I am determined to do it this year. Right now I really want to see the 230's as I was getting so close in the fall but then relapsed a bit, but really I only gained 4-7lbs depending on WI. So back on the wagon, I am assuming with a whole bunch of other people. but what ever. I'm ready right now to do it so why not.

So far today

oatmeal and apple 3 pts
quesadia (sp?) 14 pts (i'll have to lay off the cheese!)
apple 1 pt

For diner, which I haven't eaten yet, I'm doing left over ham, scalloped potatoes (semi-friendly) and peas. I do have chocolate in the house..so hopefully I'll hold out on my first day...I also have a pomegranate so maybe that will satisfy my 'after the girls go to bed, and flop on the couch' munchy time.

Hope everyone had a great start to 2008.

Happy New Year

So I'm quite the loser...it's exactly 12am and what am I doing????? Blogging. can we say loooooooserrrrrrr. ha ha ha.
