YMCA!!

and yes... i typed that while singing the song bwahaha

today i buckled down and signed myself and my son up for the Y!
now i have NO excuse to not go workout.. they have a child center.. so i can go workout and have someone watch my boy!
i'm super excited... i can REALLY train the C25K and do ZUMBA!!

Weigh in day!

and i'm down 1.2 pounds!!
i was worried i wasnt going to lose anything.. and even maybe gain some..
i tracked what i could but i splurged a couple times :-/

oh! and i have another NSV!!

i can fit into my size 16 capris that i have not been able to fit into since before i was pregnant with my son.. so thats 2+ years!

first NSV!!

put on my pants today.. and i had to tighten my belt

you can see the indents of where i use to have to wear my belt!


I am committing to 4 days of working out
Thursday - ZUMBA/swimming.. SOMETHING; then dancing later
Friday - c25k workout; then dancing later
Saturday- c25k workout; then dancing later
Sunday- c25k workout

I CAN do this!

Weigh-In Day!

and the results..
*drum roll please*
i'm down .8 pounds!!

The meeting was GREAT. we talked about kicking our butts into gear.
the goal for this week is to do the program 100% for 4 days.
that entails tracking EVERYTHING
working out at least 30 minutes a day

i'm gonna head out to walmart and get some of the dance work out videos and start utilizing the cardio gym here at my apartments.

I can do this i know it!

oh and I officially have a goal..
my cousin convinced me to run a 5k with him come the first week of December;
so I am working on the Couch to 5k workout, i love my android b/c they have apps to help with it!

getting nervous..

later on today i go in for my first weigh in since I started Weight Watchers..
i've been working really hard to eat healthy... and keep moving somehow..
so i really REALLY hope i lose something.. anything :)

tonight...

yeah i'm not going to even attempt to count the points i ate tonight...
i had an alcoholic drink..

Flaming Fujiyama

Exciting Mixture Of Vodka, Triple Sec, Southern Comfort, A Splash Of Galliano And Exotic Fruit Juices

i had hibatchi style shrimp; chicken and steak.. 

i basically ate the shrimp... which was like...8 pieces

and then the chicken, steak, and all the rice are sitting in my fridge

so i know that killed probably my 18 points left over lol


but it was effing amazing!!

now it's time to go work @ the Dallas Bull, and once i get off i am going to dance all this amazing food off lol

just gotta say..
i'm loving

breakfast!

so today... i have a killer migraine.. which up until... 20 minutes ago i couldn't move without getting nauseated. of course after that subsided i got very hungry.. so i got creative with my breakfast thing morning and good lord is it yummy.
it was eggs; 2% reduced fat cheese; turkey bacon; and a dab of sour-cream all stuffed into whole wheat pita bread

all together this totaled to 9 points. i think it was very satisfying for that amount of points :)
gotta use my points wisely today though.. awesome dinner tonight!!
since i'm staying home today because of the damn headache.. guess i can get some homework in... we'll see how well that works with a hyper toddler :)

happy thursday... only one more day till the weekend

hungry..

today I just couldn't keep myself satisfied...i did more snacking than usual.. but it was healthy snacking! i had the chance to get a free bag of Cheetos...but i ate my pineapple (0 points) instead.
 I think i need to have more of a filling breakfast, but its hard as i'm always on the go in the mornings; usually i have a cup of cereal and some milk.. but by 1130-12 im about starved which i dont like because then i feel as if i overeat for lunch.. today i had the weight watchers meatloaf and mashed potatoes; which might i add tasted amazing.
Had a bit of a shockers though when calculating points on my gatorade.. 6 points for the entire bottle!! O_O

made tacos tonight... i was trying to figure out what I was going to make for dinner tonight... here's what they consisted of:
lean ground chicken  4oz  - 4pt
taco seasoning (low sodium)  1 pack  - 0 pts
2% cheese ( i stuck with the serving suggestion which is 1/4 a cup) 3pts
fat free sour cream (also stuck in the serving of 2 tbsp) 1pt
and 97% fat free whole wheat tortillas..  2pt
all together this consists of   10    points each in weight watchers..
i had a total of 2.. so 20 points.. that seems like a ton right?? but look how much food i had. and im not overly stuffed or miserable feeling like yesterday.
and i have a ton of left overs so i can have some later :)

i only used 3 of my weekly points today...  i wish is was none; but that gingerale i had at the end of my workday sent me over.


tomorrow... i'm going to have to watch my points carefully; as we're going to dinner at a Japanese hibachi style restaurant.  granted i'll be getting some activity points after since i'll be going line dancing after but still.

realization

i def. realized today.. i have a snacking problem... i dont think i have ever chewed so much gum in my life (sugar free of course!)
and my fat girl comes out too.. my bff went to the mall and asked if i wanted anything from the food court... and of course my mind automatically goes "CHINESE!" but i made a healthy choice and got subway :)
i got a turkey on 9 grain wheat with light mayo (not completely ready to give it up) mustard, vinegar, tomatoes, pickles, and black olives.. no cheese *pats self on back..* love me some cheese lol
of course i ate the entire footlong but it kept me full and satisfied till about 630pm
i was a bit of a bad girl.. i stopped at this bbq place and go a bbq sandwich... and i ate like 3/4 of it... no telling how many points that was.. gonna do some research and figure it out.. hopefully not too bad.. i only had 15 points left when i left work...

i feel absolutely miserable now.. ridiculously full.. not fun...
tomorrow is a new day, and i will keep on track... and now for a good quote:::

before photos!

well! got my camera charged!
so here are my before pictures...
i think i will take pictures when i get to my first goal  5%
then pictures at my 10% goal
etc, etc

and of course... *cringe*a tummy post:

Well.. here it goes!

I officially joined Weight Watchers Saturday; 9-10-11. I am totally amped! I love love love the leader of the group, Courtney; she is so enthusiastic, she loves meeting new people and she gives you praise for anything!
I love the fact that they celebrate NSV (non-scale victories) it's like elementary school all over, you get a little star whenever you do something good!! and with your 5% and 10% goals met you get BIG star stickers lol.
I am starting to believe my mom that going to the meetings really work... so I plan to go every saturday and stay for the meetings.
Grocery shopping for healthier choices is def more expensive.. plus no coupons :(  haha
I cant wait to try some of the amazing recipes in the WW's cookbooks i got.
I'm ready for my replacement phone so i can track my points better; its hard when all i have is my little tracker book.. i like being able to plug it in and the points be calculated for me.
I know that Dr. Pepper and Publix sweet tea is going to be the hardest thing for me to not drink all the time.... alcohol was no problem... now that I work at the bar I only drink water... ironic right? haha

well, guess thats all for now... gotta get my baby boy into bed!

happy weightloss everyone!
