What a bunch of losers!

Why is it so hard to get back on track?

Looking back over the past week of food tracking.. I know i need to start preparing lunches the nite before and bringing them. I love that garlic chicken, but it is killing my diet and my pocket book.
And then there is the exercise part. How do i work it in? I have a hard enough time dragging my lazy ass out of bed, but to get up early to work out? I have zero motivation when it comes to that. Not having a car is not helpful either because I have an hour long bus trip, so I am not getting home until at least 6.30 and it is time to make dinner and do homework. Bleh... There has got to be a way to make it work..

I am going to walk during my lunch break and try doing some of the spark exercises. Sure it will not be the sweat inducing work out that I think i need but maybe, just maybe this will be a building block?

Goals for the week:
#1 pack lunches (salad and protein)
#2 walk during lunch
#3 do spark exercises.

Yeah, backwards from what it's normally classified as. But today was the weigh in for the PRT. I weighed in at 184, which is down from 190 on Monday and I think from the last time I posted. I could be wrong, but either way... It's down. :D

My new job pays for a gym membership, so I'm going to sign up and take advantage. It will mean either early mornings or later nights for a little while--until my schedule gets a little more flexible--but I'm okay with that. :D

How is everyone else doing? Do we need a new challenge to kick things off? I think I can come up with one if we do!

yeah it's been a while, I know. I was out of the country, then I got lazy and got scared. i didn't want to face the scale. But I finally did two days ago and it said 190. I got on it today, less than 10 minutes ago, actually, and it said 187.5!!!! I'm super excited. i haven't done waist or hip measurements yet, but I have 2 weeks from tomorrow before that matters. I have a contingency plan, though. There're two rules, one of which I didn't know about prior to last month, that will help me. One, is the "Bad Day" rule. It acknowledges that everyone has a bad day and may not be performing to their best. It gives you the option to redo an event--BCA or Physical portion--the next day (or possibly in my case the next month). If i can get it to the next month, I will come in at like 700 the Saturday of the PRT weekend and weigh/measure in then do my PRT on Sunday since it has to be done 24 hours after the weigh/measure in. If not, then I'm going to fully exploit the other rule that says if you score an overall PRT score of Excellent Low or higher, the max BCA is waived to 36%. So I'm doing lots of sit ups and pushups and will get into the pool to prepare for it. When I get a job, that's going to suck because I'll have to force myself to go out to the pool every afternoon, after work. Or worse, get up EARLIER. *shudders and laughs* So hooray. I'll give another update in a few weeks. how's everyone else doing?

sitting at 167 right now, lets hope it keeps droppin!

well I am holding pretty steady at 169, but not gaining, wish I could loose some but holding is acceptable with as awful as I have been LOL I will measure myself nexttime.

hmm back up to 170, butthats les then 171, excersize is going not good, and eating went down the crap shoot. BUT back on track now. hers to hopeing for 2 lbs by friday :)

Woot! whoohoo! yaysies! I lost 6lbs this week! went from 173 to 167. *happy dance* not sure how many times I excersized due to weather but still! yay! the main swtich I did was I started buying large bags of carrots and cutting them up so that I had them handy so that I didn't reach for less heathly options that were convient. so I am going to keep doingthat inn hopes taht it will continue.

so goals
next thursday 164
exersize 3Xs
keep to core lunches and snacks.

heres to hopeing!

Hey Everyone:
I just registered for the Self Challenge by Self Magazine and will be starting this upcoming Monday. It's really efficient b/c it has a lot of meal ideas and right now all of the toning exercises involve only handweights and there is a requirement ofburning 250 calories with cardio (lets see how that one goes..). Just thought I would let everyone know b/c it's pretty well set up.

Ok so weigh in day as you may remember I was at 173 last thursday, well I am at dun dun dun.... 169.5! WHOOOHOO! and thats with a terribly horrile weekend of family time that included chili dogs and popcorn (the good shit)

soo lets see if I can retain this and lose more even.

on a side note I think I am going to start putting emmi in the stroller and walking to knock her out as opposed to driving her around. no tommorrow(I have a drs appt) but on wednesday..

I meant to post this Tuesday, then Wednesday, then last night... and now here it is time for the second update this week and I haven't given the first. So the update for Tuesday:

Weight: 195 (down 1 from last Tuesday)
Waist: 33.5" (up .5 from last Tuesday)
Hips: 44.5" (same)
Neck: 15" (up .5 from last Tuesday--and I mention this only because the Navy uses it as a factor in determining body fat %)
BCA %: 37 (same)

Friday Update

Home scale weight: 191 (up 1 pound from last Friday)

Goals:

Only did morning exercise this week. Things at work have made it damn near impossible to get to the pool to swim at lunch time. Didn't make the extra exercise last week end that I had set aside to replace my two days of swimming, either.

THIS week I've done very well on food, with the exception of the Navy function I had. It was awkwardly timed so that I wouldn't be able to get anything healthy before hand to eat, and I wasn't going to be able to wait to eat. So while I was very well behaved, I still had very bad things to eat. But other than that I've stuck to my diet.

Goals for this Weekend:
--Not to over indulge while in DC.
--get some form of exercise each day, even if it's only climbing the stairs for 15 minutes.
--Come home early enough of Sunday that I can cook food for the rest of the week.

Goals for the Week:
--Add sit ups and push ups into exercise routine, preferably in the AM before aerobics
--Get in the pool to swim laps at least 2 times a week, preferably 3. (This may be made immensely easier by the re-opening of the pool at the main gym on base.
--lose 2 pounds by next Friday

I know I had end of the month goals, but that falls on a Wednesday, so next Friday's post will suffice for my "end of the month" post, and I will post new goals for March.
