It seems when I plan out what I'm eating for the day I stick to it better than if I just make up my mind when it is time!

Well things did not go as planned yesturday, but I still did ok. Meeting at work started early and ended a little late so I actually missed lunch just grabed my banana and a snack pack. Then I got home late and wanted to make sure I got at least close to 1200 cal. I did ok, but I don't think I got in all my water yesturday.

Well my daughter was up almost half the night, so I didn't get up when I had planned to do exercise. I did get on the bike but I only stayed on for about 5min. For some reason my legs were just soo worn out and I didn't push myself. I'll try to get on the bike again later.

Didn't make any plans yet might have to grab something on the go. I have lots to do after work. Bank, rent, pick up kids from daycare, Go to my sisters and get my niece, Drive to SB to get a Friend's daughter (who I'm keeping all weekend), and I might need to run to the store for a few what nots. I might put off going to the store till tommorow, but with 6 kids for probably most of the weekend I might want to do it before I pick them up!

Total Calories: About 1130.
Exercise: Try to get on Bike another 15min or so! (Didn't make it on the bike, but I went shopping. hopefully that burned some cals!)

Hoping you went to the store before picking up all the children. I know how I stress about going shopping with three- I think 6 would send me over the cart!!!
Good luck and may the "force be with you!"

Thanks everyone! I really had a great weekend. I wasn't going to pick up my niece before I went to the store but when I stopped at my sisters so my mom could go with me she started to cry when I was getting ready to leave so I took her with then. My fiance kept 2 of my boys so I didn't have to take all the kids! I actually got a lot done this weekend. The kids pretty much kept each other occupied. We had a few uproars but nothing like I was expecting!

Anyway, as for my diet and exercise.
On Saturday I had about 1280 calories. I didn't make it to the gym but I'm sure I got some kind of exercise cleaning and taking care of all those kids.
On Sunday About 1500 cal? Slipped up a little, helped son finish his Brownie earthquake from DQ. It just looked sooo good! But even with that I am pretty sure I stayed under 1500 calories. when I look up nutrition on Brownie Earthquake it has about 720 cal. I didn't even eat half but I did eat most of the brownie part so I figured I had about 400 cal for that. As for exercise took the kids skating. Great exercise, I can really feel it in my legs! Not bad weekend!
 
Well I had a great week last week. Actually I think it was one of my best weeks! I think it does get easier after you done it for a while. And posting here what I eat is helping a lot too! And guess what another 3lbs gone this am. I was kind of wanting to take off 4lbs but hey I was close and it was in the right direction! lol. Anyway, I'm soo happy! I'm 2lbs less than I was before I gained the 20lbs. I haven't been this weight since I was pregnant with my 5year old son!!!

Just found something out I thought was cool. I made a chart of my own for my weight loss. I have wkly date, wkly wt, wkly loss, and total loss. Anyway while I was updating today I noticed something kind of neat. The past 3 weeks in a row I have lost 3lbs a week. Also before Holiday eating got to me, I was loseing an average of about 3lbs a week. I just kinda thought that was cool!
Anyway if I can keep that up for the next 10 weeks, my fiance owes me $1000.......
Boy, I can't wait till the middle of April to spend all that money!
Anybody ready for shopping!!!!LOL.
 
Thanks. Not too sure what I'm gonna buy yet. But I'm sure when I've got the money in my hand I'll find plenty!

I know how it goes with the exercise and all. I actually went on my lunch break yesterday since I couldn't go after. I was so proud. haha! Yes I agree, the Spring will help. I play softball so that always helps. I typically play about 3 days a week. (I know, I shouldn't be overweight if that's the case lol!) Anyway! We just have to make time for exercise. That's my goal for this month. And keep up the great work! :)
