<p>If you all prefer, we can also just have one long thread rather than a new one each week.  Just let me know.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today's weigh in: 107</p>
<p>Starting weight: 108.6</p>
<p>Total lost: 1.6</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was surprised.  I wonder if it it'll sneak back up a bit over the week.  I was good last week, but not 4500 calories good.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I tend to start each week really well, and then slowly start to let things slide by the end of the week.  I'm keeping the goals of no eating after dinner and minimal liquid calories.  I'm also adding no swiping the kids' halloween candy.</p>

<p>Whoops, I didn't see this before I posted my long story in the other thread. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lbs lost 4.6 Yippe skippee, doing a Snoopy dance, (see other thread for detail story as to what is at risk to happen next if you guys don't keep me accountable. ;)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Same goals as last week.  Meal plan, journal, water, find some way to exercise. </p>

<p>Hey Jebba,  bet your 1.6 loss will stay!!!  I am seriously thinking of doing the weigh only once a week thing, but I really do need to step on that scale every day.  Not more than once a day, but I sure like that morning "yippee" or "crap that white flour pasta kills me every time" moment.</p>

<p>I find eating at school really difficult too.  I have found I NEED to eat at 10:30, but I can usually deal without the afternoon snack, but I better have something ready for when I get home at 4:00 because I will be HUNGRY. </p>

<p>Jebba, it's a new week.  Forget yesterday and move forward.  Tech Tee, sorry about the knee, but way to go with the 3 lbs!!!.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I may have found a way to use my Kinect in my apartment without making too much noise for the people downstairs.  I discovered that if you raise your hands high and go on your tip toes, the machine thinks that you jumped, so I plan on doing 45 minutes of Kinect every night, it will get my heart rate elevated for sure until the ice is gone and I can run again. Lets face it, running with 10 lbs less will be much easier than trying to run right now anyway.   I figure if I try to get Platinum on all the levels of one game that should keep me busy until the snow melts.  Well ice, we still haven't got any substantial amount of snow, but it HAS to come sooner or later and I figure when it comes we are going to get 2 feet in one drop.</p>

<p>Still on track for calories.  Oddly enough I drove by a Dairy Queen and didn't even WANT to stop.  Seems that when my body is fueled by the right stuff, it wants the right stuff.</p>

<p>Way to go Raising Arizona!  Keep it up!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tech Tee, That 2 lbs is going to melt off of you in the next week....and then some!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jebba, I`m not inspiring yet, I have to stick with this for more than 3 weeks.  All my Spark streaks are around 25 days.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still on track for Calories and Water, taking a rest for Kinect today. At this point I am not working tomorrow afternoon, so I might go for a walk. </p>

<p>Sounds yummy Tech Tee. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still doing ok with my calories.  So far I am down .6 but I've been the same weight for three days now.  I did eat a Smores Bar.  But it was a fundraiser for a Grade One class.  You can't say  no to a Grade one fundraiser.  You could just give them the loonie and feel good about yourself, but if they are selling smores and cupcakes and cookies, you'd hate for that food to go to waste and one less smores bars means one less sugar crazy kid in your afternoon class.  Really it was for the kids that I ate the Smores Bar.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today has been lousy for water, but I still have time to get some in me.  Haven't done Kinect in a couple days because I have been working the retail job, but tomorrow is a new day. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Big news today is that I actually have finished a full bunch of celery, I've never eaten a whole thing (is it a stalk, I don't think so, isn't a stalk one piece from a celery bunch?)  Anyway, I ate a lot of celery this week. </p>

<p>Jebba, how are your liquid calories going?  I think one of the things that helped me the first week was measuring my food.   So I knew that my calroies were on.  Maybe you don't have to count the calories, but just have to make sure that a serving is a serving and not 1.5 or 2 servings. </p>

<p>Oh I would so cave if someone walked into my apartment with a pizza right now.  The last two weeks has really taught me that not only can I cook pretty good meals for myself, but I save a load of money when I don't stop for fast food on the way home or at my retail job.  I actually ran back upstairs today to get my lunch because I knew if I just left I wouldn't make a good choice at the mall (there is actually very little healthy food at our mall, and once I make that bad choice I am toast. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> I have a good feeling about tomorrows weigh in,<em> </em>I think I am on track for at least a pound, maybe a pound and a half, which puts me on track for that 5 lbs by the 4th. </p>
