DAY 45
Weight this morning:
149

Exercise:
Nada

Yahoos:
Last night was my first night off Nyquil and though I would have been able to wake up and work out, I didn't. I still don't think my body is quite ready. Tomorrow I should be though!

Yikes:
I seem to gain back my weight over the weekends every week because I go hog wild with indulging in alcohol and sweets. I'm going to try to be better this weekend. I haven't posted in so long because I couldn't bare to post that I was back over 150. Now I'm not.

DAY 38
Weight this morning:
150

Exercise:
Nada

Yahoos:
I worked out yesterday but have come down with the miserable cold my daughter had so aside from my head pounding and spinning, I just don't have the energy or lung capacity to do cardio exercise first thing in the morning. We've done really well sticking to the diet so far this week.

Yikes:

Mission baby fat loss - day 36

DAY 36
Weight this morning:
151

Exercise:
Nada

Yahoos:
I'm back on the diet after a serious departure this weekend. I pulled an abdominal muscle last week that seriously hindered my ability to do my turbo jam workout. I did a good amount of walking this weekend though!

Yikes:
Due to my birthday celebrations, we were completely indulgent this weekend. Cake, ice cream, alcohol and carbs. All the good stuff birthdays are made of :) I slept in this morning because I wasn't really able to get much sleep this weekend due to a sick baby. At least that's my excuse for not working out today...Tomorrow is a new day!

We took a break from the diet this weekend to celebrate our anniversary. We're back on as of this morning and I'm impressed I'm only a pound heavier! I'm also proud that we still ate very wisely despite declaring a break from the diet. Go us!

Yikes:

Exercise:
Nada again. I was too tired. Baby is cutting teeth and was a little restless last night so I needed the sleeping in until 6 today.

Ate/drank:
I'm done logging what I eat and drink. It's too much to keep up with.

Yahoos:
It appears this week I've just maintained. Ah well. Back on the exercise routine next week!

This weekend we're celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary and have agreed to drop the diet for our lunch and dinner on Saturday. I'm so looking forward to it!

Yikes:
Oops! I forgot to pack my string cheese today! And I so didn't feel the workout this morning. When I woke up at 4:30, I just set the alarm for later. Ah well. I had a beer tonight. I was coerced by my hubby :) We still ate responsibly though!

We seriously indulged this weekend with alcohol and carbs and sweets. What better way to kick off a diet?!

Mission baby fat loss - day 17

I hesitate to say it, but I see a trend forming here...Yay for breaking the 150 mark!!!!!

Yikes:
I am going to jump off the diet for a couple of glasses of wine tonight. I know they'll help me sleep well and this single mom thing this week has had me up about 5 times a night (I just am not sleeping well). Oops well since I was jumping off for the wine, I figured I'd do crackers and ice cream too. No self control!! Again, it was worth it.

Yikes:
This is a bloat week for me so I won't be surprised when that scale goes back up.

Mission baby fat loss - day 15

Well I'm going to try to do a modified version of the South Beach diet this week. I'll enter phase 1, but I think I'm going to keep fruit. We'll see how it goes. I made a big frittata this weekend and cut up a bunch of veggies (a main requirement for south beach).

10 peanuts
1 garden salad with 1/2 skinless chicken breast and balsamic dressing
1 diet Dr. Pepper

2 cups veggie stir fry

Yahoos:
My frittata for breakfast actually left me not hungry all morning. The snacking on peanuts was just to keep my blood sugar up until lunch. So far, so good!

Yikes:
Ouch caffeine headache! I broke down and drank a diet Dr. Pepper around 2.

1 bowl of cereal with skim milk
12 ounce Coke
1 small apple
Rotisserie chicken and roasted potatoes
1 dove chocolate
handful of trail mix
italian beef sandwich (small)
1 glass white wine

Yahoos:
Wow did I want to stay in bed this morning. I even sat downstairs on the floor for a good 2-3 minutes once I'd changed, contemplating whether to just slump over and nap right there or put my sneakers on. I feel good about following through. I don't know how much of a chance I'll have to workout next week so I'm glad I ended this week right.

Yikes:

Mission baby fat loss - day 11

DAY 11
Weight this morning:
152

I slept in and it was good.

1 small apple
handful of peanuts
1 volcano roll
1 shrimp tempura roll
1 dove chocolate
15 jelly bellies
Rotisserie chicken, creamed spinach and roasted potatoes (a rather large portion)
2 miller lites

Yahoos:
The scale went down? *shakes head*. Okay whatever, I'll take it!

Yikes:
No workout for me this morning. I didn't set the alarm when I went to bed last night and I told myself if I woke up in time to work out, then I would. Woo hoo for sleeping until 5:30 (when the baby stirred). Leave it to me to take something relatively healthy like sushi and be totally unhealthy about it. "Yes, I'll have the one smothered in creamy sauce and one that's deep fried please. Do they come with butter for dipping?" UG. But you know, it was sooooo worth it.

Mission baby fat loss - day ten

DAY TEN

Exercise:
20 minute turbo jam

Ate/drank:
1 bowl of cereal with skim milk
12 ounce Coke
banana
handful of trail mix
grilled chicken burrito
roasted corn
1 dove chocolate
chocolate pudding cup with a tsp of peanut butter
veggie lasagna (with alfredo sauce)
2 glasses of wine (I needed it damn it)
a handful of crackers and an ounce or so of muenster

Yahoos:
The scale did not go UP today. Woofuckinghoo. Perhaps it sensed my dissatisfaction yesterday? I'm thinking next week I might bump up the workout to the more intense one (30-35 min?) and do it at night. Hubby is traveling so I wont have the time in the morning. We'll see how that goes!

Yikes:
Yawn. I'm tired despite the 20 minute turbo jam and my morning caffeine. The pudding was completely unnecessary. I just ate it because I was bored. I do too much eating because of boredom. Oops on the wine...and cheese...and crackers.

Mission baby fat loss - day nine

DAY NINE
Weight this morning:
154 (after workout and 1 glass of water)

handful of peanuts
2 fish (tilapia) tacos with slaw and cream sauce (and they were goooooooood)
1 apple
1 grilled chicken burrito
1 serving roasted corn
1/2 cup of rocky road ice cream

Yahoos:
The alarm woke me for the first time in a loooong time this morning. I wanted to roll back over and go back to sleep, but alas, I dragged my fat ass out of bed and got my turbo jam on.

Yikes:
Okay why is the scale going the OPPOSITE direction????? Maybe I need a new scale. Bastard.
