This week is a bust...

Oh frog's legs!  This week is a bust in regards to points.  With Mariah's sleep habits and my being sick I am feeling kinda depressed health wise.  I don't know what is up with me.  I won't go into details but if, IF this is the time God finally deems me ready to be pregnant again, my will needs to do some serious bending.  I was just having progress!!!! We'll see if whatever is going on passes by next week or in nine months......

I did it!

140 points exactly!  I earned $50 to spend on myself!  I really worked out hard and burned by far more than 3500 calories.  I honestly made sure I got extra calories burned so I this last birthday weekend wouldn't be as stressful. I did eat cake and have white flour with the refreshments I bought.  But I am back on track today and have already given away a lot of the left over unhealthy party food.  Another week and just going for $35 dollar goal.  I am exhausted and sore.  I will go again for perfection again soon. 

I got a compliment!

I got a compliment and not from a woman!  My very kind choir director came up to me after ward practice and asked if I was loosing weight?  He said my face was looking more defined.  I guess I am looking the part FINALLY!!  Whoo hoo!  Cloud nine when you hear it unprovoked and from a gentlemen!

On my way!

Feeling good and starting to see a difference.  The scale at the beginning of the week did say I lost one pound so hopefully it isn't just water weight.  I am have been working-out hard as well as eating light and healthy.  I already have 64 points this week in just three days! Add the 13 free points for Sunday and it's 77--already over half-way to my perfect goal.  Staying strong and hoping the scale will reflect it on Monday morning.

Going for perfection

So this week there was a lot of bumps in the road with family flu and last minute trip to visit ailing grandpa fro the weekend.  I did however still earn 114 points.  Whoo hoo!  I worked-out hard on the days I could.  This week I am going for pefection--140 points.  Got my daughter's bday party this weekend and I will resist the cupcakes.  $50 dollars here I come!!

Sacrifices of Motherhood

My hubby had the flu at the beginning of the week and last night my little girl would not go to sleep til 1:00am while I started flu symptoms.  Adrenaline kicked in around 12:30a and I couldn't get to sleep until 3:00am.  Which means only 4 hours of sleep--point lost; couldn't make my morning workout, the only time I had available today--points not made; needed an energy boost so got an all fruit jamba which had 55g of sugar--point lost.  I will go for perfection next week.  Right now Mariah is finally sleeping and I am going to join her.

Motivation for Point Perfection

I have made a decision regarding my points.  If I have a perfect week--13 points a day, plus 600 calorie workout everyday but Sunday, and a all 26 points points on Sunday it comes to 140 points--a perfect week!  Just think 6 days of 600 calories means 3600 calories burned, that's a pound!  If I get at least 140 points a week than I get $50 for to spend on myself.  What do you think?  Perfection reward I am going for you!

Drum Roll Please...

I earned 119 points last week!  That means $35 for me to spend on me!  No weight lost though according to the scale this morning.  I am going to push hard again this week.  I must admit that I did falter yesterday at a family get together.  My father had gourmet chocolate... but at least I didn't eat one single bite of the many doughnuts. I did however, knowing my parents didn't have good food choices, bring half my kitchen to make a healthy dinner for everyone. 

Thanks everyone for the words of encouragement and support.  Shawn and I had a great discussion yesterday too about all this so I think I am going to make it.  To further help me in my goals I have also decided to reward myself with an awesome new custom eshakti.com dress as soon as I loose 20lbs.  That will keep me going!
