I stepped on the scales last night. I know I should not do that at night and ops I gained a pound. Not to worried I know its just what happens during the day. I have decided to only weigh on Saturday mornings for the challenge weigh in. But I know I am bloated right now.. and we all know why that monthly pain in the butt that makes us all feel like crap.  It always messes with my stomach and makes me kind of sick but I will make it threw it only last a short time.

I am trying to get my co-worker to join the site. I think it would be good for the both of us and good for her to keep her motivated. She is excited to try it out. She has the South Beach Diet book and cook book and is going to give them to me once she finds them. Since she does not want them. I can’t wait to start it. It will be better than just watching what I eat and being on it with you guys will help keep me on it even if it means I have to cook which I don’t do. Carlos, my husband does most of the cooking. But it will be healthier for him as well.

I did my challenge exercises last night. Those reverse crunches are painful. It just lets me know how out of shape I really am. I have got to start exercising more. I think I am going to try and talk Carlos into walking with me every night. Or I will just have him take a nap while I do my workout video. (I hate to have him watch me)

My boss is gone and could be out all day with strep. He is at the doctor finding out right now.  If so that means another boring day at work and when I am bored I want to eat. I did good yesterday and did not get into the candy jar and stuck to my diet so I am going to make myself do it again today. I am taking the advise. Once the candy is gone out of the candy jar it goes bye bye. No more refills it will be better for all three of us in the office since we are all suppose to be on diets.

So this is what I am planning so far for my day. My protein  bar for breakfast, a good salad for lunch and a light meal for dinner (don’t know what that is going to be yet since it is only 8:30 am right now. If I feel the need to snack I will go to the little store and get a Special K snack bar that only has 90 calories and curbs my appetite. I plan on walking during my lunch break and then walking to the bank in the afternoon. Once I get home I will do my challenge workout and do my dance video even if the husband watches me and I look like a fool I will still do it.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Well it is Monday and I am going to get back up and start over again. It helps now that my boss and coworker (there are only 3 of us in the office) are on diets as well. No more treats being brought into the office.

I am alone in the office right now since both Buzz (my boss) and Amanda (my coworker) are at the Governors office discussing a bill that passed threw committee last week and now will be on the senate floor. Yes I work sort of in government really I work for a non-profit firm that does lobbing on bills to help the retailers of Minnesota. It’s a long story what we do but essentially we keep bills from being passed that would hurt the retail industry and try to get bills passed that help the retail industry.

My motivation is back up and it always is easier on my during the week. The weekends are when I seem to have problems. Mexican food (since my husband is Mexican) and all of that good stuff. I do exercise more on the weekends though.  I am so afreaid that I will gain those two pounds back. I am thankful for all the comments and support I get on this website. I think it was the best thing I could have found for my diet. If I stick to the website I will stick to my diet cause it is a constant reminder for me.

My doctor made sure I was not throwing up to loss weight and I am not. I have done that in the past but that is behind me and the past is the past. I am going to lose weight the safe way. Watching what I eat and exercising.

Well I hope the rest of my day goes better than the first part. Happy Monday to everyone. Have a great day!
