Good News on a couple different fronts. One, I stepped on the scale this morning and it said 150.0lbs....so, that's a three pound loss from last week, and oh-so close to being in the 140's again. I'm not really expecting to be in the 140's for weigh in tomorrow, but knowing that I'm getting closer, that's making me happy. Hopefully I can see them next week! Plus it's a little extra incentive to be good this weekend.
But being good this weekend just got increasingly easier, haha. I decided on Saturday Morning to go with my youngest brother to Drummond Island, where he is planning on spending all day saturday playing with his Jeep, which he's spent about the past year building, hoping to make magazine covers with it. It's going to be fun, and best of all, I'll only have what I bring to eat, so no temptation. I guess we are going to be meeting some of his buddies for breakfast when we get there, but I will just have my cup of coffee, and eat what I bring before or after. So that's exciting.
I promise to take some pictures, because the island is suppose to be gorgeous. For those of you not in Michigan (or familiar with Michigan for that matter), I am going to be heading to my parents place, which is about 3.5 hours straight north of where I live on Friday night, and then Saturday morning, we'll be heading farther north (about 2.5 hours) over the Mackinac Bridge and into the UP, and then we will have to take a ferry to the island. It's quite an adventure, but for those of you who have never been to Northern Michigan, or the Upper Peninsula (the U.P. as we call it), you should think about taking a vacation up there sometime, it's like nothing you will ever see, I promise that.
Other than that, good eating day today, although I'm still fighting the cold/allergy thing, so it's wearing me out. But it finally cooled off, and today it only got up to about 75 outside...NICE! And Saturday on the island it's going to only be 68! Perfect weather for me!
Anyways, I promise lots of pictures. I hope everyone is have a great healthy day!

Some Things to "Change it up"
First of all, thank you to those of you who commented on my post this morning. It means the world to me to have people out there who understand what I'm going through, and what it feels like. I probably would've thrown in the towel long ago if it wasn't for you guys.
So, I have a couple new ideas for this week to try (I am going to run out sooner or later!).
First, I never eat breakfast, or snacks in the morning. This morning I started. I ate at 830 and 1030 this morning. Surprisingly it didn't seem to make me crazy hungry. Usually when I would eat before lunch I would starve up til lunch. I am hoping this helps kick up my metabolism earlier as suggested by Amanda. Hopefully this helps :)
Also, I'm going to cut back my level of activity this week. Instead of the long Rollerblading sessions I'm just going to walk this week. Instead of 2 Rollerblading sessions, and 3 walks, I'm just going to try to hit three walks.
I'm also going to try eating half of my activity points. I really seem to think this is stemming from me not eating enough, and working too hard. Because I haven't lost weight since the weather turned. And Since the weather turned, I haven't slowed down. Between gardening, canning, picking fruit, rollerblading, biking, walking and all the other activities I'm constantly on the move...hence I think I'm not eating enough. So I am still going to stay active, but just not quite as much.
Also, I know its nothing I have control over, but TOM will be along this weekend, I'll drop that water weight, and I'm desperately trying to get rid of this cold I've been fighting (and drinking a ton of extra water trying to flush out of my body).
And last but not least, I'm going to continue to eat the awesome foods I have been. I did some research on fruits and veggies and other healthy 1 and 2 point snacks ( I can post this if anyone is interested), and I'm going to incorporate these into my diet. So essentially I'm going to eat a BUNCH of core foods, but be on flex. If that makes sense. Plus I have some totally yummy meals planned for next week!
So there is my plan, I just hope I see a loss next week. I know I'm feeling better, and my clothes are fitting great, I just wish the scale would echo that.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

It's an itchy thursday
Itchy? Why would a Thursday be itchy? It's because when you burn yourself like crazy on a weekend, it takes until just about Thursday until that burn turns into an itchy mess of peeling skin. I don't think it's officially started peeling yet, but the itchiness has started therefore I'm sure the peeling will follow. I'm really bummed I am going to peel, I was getting such good color this year on my normally casper looking ass.
So I broke down today and order some healthy food online. I've been on Weight Watchers for 6 months, and all I've heard about on the Boards, and from other people through their blogs and what not is Vitalicious Products and Western Alternative Bagels. So I finally broke down and ordered some. Hell I'm sure I paid too much (they are so expensive), but as this point, I'm looking for new stuff to try, and everyone raves about both products, so I'm giving it a shot. I will keep you posted on the reviews of both products.
Other than that, I've got out for a few walks this week, and so far, I have in about 4 miles. Unfortunately, that is a far cry from my goal of 10 per week, but it's been a combination of a busy week, and crappy weather, so I've walked when I can, and I while no excuses are actually excuses, I believe these are pretty good reasons, haha. I hope to get a nice long walk in tomorrow night, so by the end of the week (which I take as Saturday, my weigh in day) I should have roughly 7 or 8 miles in.
Food-wise, it's been a good week. I haven't been faced with to many temptations, and I haven't went Off Plan once, I haven't used any of my flexies, and I've avoided the snack cakes and the like for another week. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed for another good loss on Saturday, I could sure use another one after a couple weeks of back tracking. So here's to hoping!
I hope everyone has had a fabulous healthy day!
