Welcome back guys!!!!!

Guess who joined a gym and is getting fit? I will give you a hint it's this fat lady!
Oh yeah, I am getting better all the time.
Yes I am still 11lbs over where I fell off the wagon initially but I am back on track and full steam ahead.
Eating my granola, yogurt and apple breakfast after my hour and a half workout this morning and feeling ready to take on anything. Tomorrow is a "rest" day which means my workout will consist of housework, whatever burns calories right?
I am going back on "Sparkpeople.com" tonight to reassess myself and see what my true minimum caloric intake is supposed to be and that will be my new goal. The 1200 has worked well for me in the past but it also means there is nowhere to lower your calories too if you plateau, which when working out wasn't at least a 3 day a week routine was okay because I could add working out if hit plateau...now.... anyway gotta skeedaddle, finish my breakfast and get to work.

WEIGH IN DAY!!!!

Down 3.5 more pounds and there you have it only 2ish pounds away from my first mini goal. I am so excited!
I just need to keep on track and all will come with time.
I am loving fresh veggies and salad everyday has yet to become boring. I actually have had kind of a hard time getting all of the calories in I am supposed to each day, which is good and bad. I also haven't had a problem reaching my fat goals but keep falling under with all of the other nutrients I am tracking. Fiber, Carbs, Protein, and calcium...may have to start having Slim Fast as my filler when I am having a hard time reaching my calories. I also want to get vitamins to start taking, with calcium if they have them out there.
I am feeling good, my clothes are fitting right again, might actually have to take one of my pairs of pants in...Woo Hoo!!!!

Weigh in success

2.5 more down baby, stand back I am a house on fire!
Also, my friend Deborah today gave me the green light to "be outrageous" for a while. Look out world I have a permission slip and I'm feeling kind of daring.

Grocery goals achieved

I didn't buy any "bad" stuff at the store when I went tonight. I even passed up Oreos that were on sale. (I am amazed myself at that one.)
I did get some Snackwells cookies and some 100 calorie pouches of cookies but I didn't get any of the really bad stuff which I might have wanted.
So all in all this week is looking good. I got plenty of salad fixin's and I got some celery to put my laughing cow on, so snack wise I am good to go, and dinners at work too.
I can't wait to get set into a new routine so that this comes a bit more naturally, that will come with time though.
I am on track right now and that is what matters. I am going to start really keeping track of my cigarettes too and am hoping to curb those til I can quit altogether again. (knock on wood)

didn't changes

Yeah, so now it looks like I only lost 2lbs but I am still where I thought I was after this week so YEAH GO ME!!!!
Really do need to get back to eating regularly, that may be the goal of the week this week. To redevelop some normalcy in my diet and sleep habits. We shall see.
