Wednesday Weigh-In #4

Starting weight: 159.8 lbs.
Last week's weight: 158 lbs
This week's weight: 157 lbs (-1 lbs)
Goal weight: 130 lbs.

Yes I lost 1lb! And I know I should be happy but I'm not. I'm really disappointed in myself actually. I admit I did have a couple of set backs and tiny cheats this weekend but I didn't think it was so bad. One of the set backs was that I'm supposed to be working out twice a day for 14 days while I'm doing this Quick Trim thing and on Saturday I went to the gym at 7 p.m. after dinner to find out that the gym actually closed at 6 p.m. Then on Sunday I didnt get to go to the gym at all because they are only open from 12-5 and I was in Baytown with my MIL.

As far as the food part of this diet is going it has gotten a lot harder for me to follow exactly. I'm supposed to be eating 4 small meals a day which is hard for me to do with work and I'm supposed to cut out all dairy products including yogurt and fat free milk which makes my breakfast choices really slim. Im supposed to have protein for breakfast but I can cook myself egg whites in the morning before work. And I can't eat oatmeal for the rest of the days b/c they are low carb days. I am eating a lot healthier still than I was and I have not had a diet soda or snack of any kind for 11 days now. My cheat came from eating a couple pieces of bread at a resturant.

I really wanted to at least get to 150lbs by the end of the 14 days and as I am on day 9 today I seriously doubt that's going to happen. I don't want to get frustrated but it frustrates me when I'm not getting to eat the foods I like and am working out more than I have in a while and still not loosing a lot of weight. It just makes me want to quit.
Well thats my rant for today and hopefully next week will be better!

Wednesday Weigh-In #3

Starting weight: 159.8 lbs.
Last week's weight: 161.6 lbs (+1.8 lbs)
This week's weight: 158 lbs (-3.6 lbs)
Goal weight: 130 lbs.

That's right lovlies I actually lost weight this week and truthfully I lost it all since Sunday! I was so excited to see the scale this morning and to be under 160 lbs!!!!!!! I watched what I ate for the most part but I think my trick was that I started taking Quick Trim.

Now I am going to be honest even though I didn't want to tell anyone that I started taking diet pills because I always hear bad reactions. Let me first say that this is only the second time I have EVER tried diet pills. The first time was Alli. This weekend I had decided I wanted to do a cleanse to jumpstart my weight loss so off I went to CVS. I of course love the Kardashians and who can deny how HOTT Kim Kardashian is. So I decided to buy the Quick Trim Fast Cleanse - 48 hour super diet detox and drank that along with tons of water and ate fruit and veggies on Sunday and Monday. Then I also bought the QT Burn & Cleanse - 14 day diet system and started that yesterday. Right now I am working out twice a day for 30-40 minutes each time and eating protein and watching my carb intake and drinking TONS of water!!!!!

It's just for 14 days and then hopefully I will just continue to eat healthy and workout. This product is supposed to give you the energy to workout and help you cleanse your body. I know a lot of people are against taking any kind of pill to help you loose weight but you have to understand that Im not just taking it and not eating heathly or working out. And this is only short term. I am tired of being at my heaviest and after trying to do it by myself and failing every time I needed a little help. So I only have 12 days after today and I won't need it anymore. After the 14 days I will be doing the Weight Watcher Points with the help of my bloggy friend over at Ha ha. Wait. What? to make sure I stay on track.

How are your weight loss plans coming if your trying to loose weight or how do you stay fit?

Wednesday Weigh-In #2

Starting weight: 159.8 lbs.
This week's weight: 161.6 lbs  (+1.8 lbs)

Goal weight: 130 lbs.

I am so ashamed to tell you that in my first week of being honest about me wanting to loose weight I end up gaining almost 2 lbs. I thought I did pretty good this week with the exception of some dessert cheats. I worked out 3 days and even though I was shooting for 5 there was no way I could work out after Wednesday b/c that spin class kicked my butt.

I thought I was doing so good in the class because i was keeping up with everyone but the next day I could barely walk. I'm dead serious. For the next 4 days I could barley bend my legs to sit down to go down a step. I was miserable! I tried everything to help the soreness and nothing really worked. This Monday I did go back to the gym and do 30 minutes on the eliptical machine and 20 minutes on the treadmill. Last night the husband and I went to the park to go run and I was only able to run a little and had to power walk the rest of the time. I walked 2 miles so not bad I guess. I haven't decided if i should try spin class again tonight since im still a little sore but I really want to see if i can make it.

As far as my eating I started out good until the weekend. We went and had indian food (which i absolutely love but only get every couple of months) with some friends and then we went to Rice Villiage for some non fat yogurt that im not too sure how many calories were in there. Then on Sunday the Mr. and I went and got McFlurry's from McDonalds (but i did have a snack size one) and then yesterday at lunch me and a coworker shared a piece of carrot cake. I swear sweets are going to be the death of me! LOL

I really need to control my eating better and only allow myself to have 1 dessert a month (maybe the middle of the month) and see if that helps. I am trying not to extreme diet and just trying to watch what I eat and limit my portions. If I don't see any difference in my weight by doing that and working out 3 days a week for a month then I will have to change my plans and start counting calories and working out 5 days a week.

Does anyone have any tips for me?
