.6 down


Well this was sobering news. I guess I've been calculating my activity points wrong thus eating too much. I was down 40 and now just a little bit from it. Will it ever get down there??

I'm going to still bike this week and stay on 25 points per day and not use the activity points and see how that goes : ) I can tell I'm losing inches which is always good (smile)

I picked the desert as that is what it feels like. I want to get into the 170's and I need to get my mind on that goal.

Probably enjoyed cake at the wedding, a split strawberry dessert with Scott and a couple of pieces of pizza yesterday. Probably not a good idea : (

Still it's down.

We DID it!


The peeps and I had a great time at the Girlfriend Ride in Columbus Indiana. Thirty eight miles of beauty and sunshine. All the stops were great and the company was better!

Way to Go Biker Babes!

Biking And Loving Spring

Let's get the bad news out of the way right away. .8 up : (

I was surprised by this all week. It was not a surprise as I was watching on the scale just about every day. What is a surprise is that I used only 18 of my extra flex points and did not touch the activity points which I raked up to 30 for the week.

I'm looking forward to the ride this coming weekend and I know it will go down next Monday again. I keep thinking every month that my body will act differently but it doesn't. What I don't like is that I should be able to use some of those extra flex points if needed and not gain!!!! I'm still at 187.4 thus I'm at the top of the 25 per day base points.

Staying focused and I'm continuing to move which I know will always be the secret to my success. Eryn's wedding is coming and I really did want to lose an extra ten by then. Obviously not going to happen however let's count on five. Am I crazy?

Thanks everyone for the cheers from the side lines.

2.2 Down

Well I don't have a lot of time tonight to post. I thought I would be down 5 with what my scale was showing at home but it came down to 2.2. That's good and I'm happy with it.

Good Week, Good Friends, Good Activity

Go Forward,
Dawna

Wish It Had Been More


Tonight I am thankful the numbers went down again however I did want to see more of a weight loss. It's been two weeks since weigh in and the last time I had a gain. In my heart I wanted to see a six lb. loss.

Before you all feel sorry for me, I am keeping it in perspective. It IS better than a gain like most of my group had over the holidays.

The biking is helping but I need to just buckle down and stay on those points. I signed back into my 21 day challenge group and we started yesterday. I picked journaling so I can get back to writing it all down daily and watching more carefully where those bites are going.

It's a good pace but I would like to be at a minimum of 1.5 per week. This time of year with so much exercise it would be nice to be in the 2 lb. loss per week club. I'm now at 25 points per day and I plan to stay in that number while not using my extra points nor my activity points. Last week I used the activity points and I believe that's why it wasn't a very large loss.

Almost 40 lbs lost. Woo Hoo
