first let me just get this out of the way
Week 29: weigh in date 12/27/13
last week: 182.8
this week:185.0
gain of 2.2 lb
Week 30: weigh in date 1/3/14
Last week 185.0
This week: 187.8
gain of 2.8
so yep, read that and know i suck. gain of 5 pounds over two weeks. this is what i call lack of motivation. it is my fault. I just do not know moderation when it comes to eating, luckily for me there are very few holidays coming up. (by the way i have no wanting to ever end the holidays are entire cheat days, no counting. yes i will always be an inner fat girl, even if im skinny on the outside).
So other than that motivation has been super down low. I had a doc appointment (endocrinologist) which went very well, but I don't think I wrote about it (dec 30th was the date). Basically besides a slightly higher than normal cholesterol (but it is lower for me, she thinks it is just genetic and maybe if i get down a few more pounds that it would go even lower the number is 252 for the total). my blood sugars are rocking, 94 fasting, which last time it was 99 and the time before that it was in the 104-106 range. while im not a diabetic, my father was a type 1 (diagnosed at the age of 6) and i am diagnosed with hashimoto's disease, which is an autoimmune disorder, and once you have one autoimmune disorder you are more prone to others. the number she was super impressed with was my insulin number. originally when i first started seeing her back in 2008 i was at 22.0, last time i was 9.9, which puts me at the high end of normal. she said 5 is the ultimate healthy number and that is what im aiming for.
all of my other numbers are perfectly within range. even my TSH number (which is the reason why i see her) is good (1.0 is my sweet spot, i was at 1.03 or something).
i flat out told her that since the last time i saw her (in september) that i have probably felt the best that i have felt in a long time. that was when she started going back into her computer for my records and telling me how far i have come. she even told me that im doing great with the weight loss and to keep it up (without my prompting her like last time) i did ask her if she had the confetti ready and was going to do cartwheels. (i love this doc by the way, she is so cool).
I did ask her a question about something i read on the internet (i tell her that i ask her these questions because i dont know if everything you read on the internet is true). anyway im sure others have read articles that state that steady state cardio is putting women into a hypothyroid state. (ok i had to explain this to a friend of mine, so just running on the treadmill for a certain period of time is steady state cardio). so my doc was like yes that is correct, but that is more for people who are working out for like 6 hours at a time, like Olympic athletes. i was like well i dont plan on doing more than an hour at the gym, so im good, and she said correct.
by the way my doc probably thinks im a bit on the nutty side. a while ago i read that jillian michaels master your metabolism book, which jillian michaels is hypothyroid (without medicine). so she (or the doc that wrote the book with her, not sure which one) mentioned staying away from certain veggies, cause they contain hormones in them that can hurt the thyroid-soy is one of these products too. one of these veggies falls into my fave foods ever, BRUSSELS SPROUTS. so i asked her if i had to stop eating them. she did tell me to limit it to 3 times a week but other than that im good. also im not supposed to seek out soy (if it is in something that i already eat, fine, but dont go buying soy burgers there are other options).
so how many of her patients does she have to limit the amount of brussels sprouts servings? probably just me.
besides the doc appointment where everything was wonderful, i lost my activelink for a few days. like couldnt find it anywhere. i ordered a new one on thursday (the first day back to work) and found it thursday after work (in the washer of all places). unfortunately i couldnt cancel my order :( so now i have two of these things. i figure that ill just hold on to it, at some point i will lose this one (FOREVER) and have a backup. or if a friend of mine admits to doing WW i might be like hey want this? i know my friend sarah does WW but i think she does it at meetings, not sure how that works.
so my goal for active link is 7 points per week. I will start reporting on that soon. also since because i hit that higher number im back to 29 points per day. (i really need to shape up when it comes to counting, ive been eyeballing things and taking small bites and not counting. that is what leads to me not losing weight.
also my endocrinologist made a comment that the next time id see her id be into the 180s (i think i was just at 190 on her scale, that was after breakfast and i was fully clothed, the ones you see are before my shower in the am and no clothing). i see her again on june 30. so i hope to blow that out of the water and be 179 or less (6 months right?)

weigh in 28
last week: 183.4
this week: 182.8
loss of 0.6
i did not hit my goal of 7 activity points earned, i got 5. not sure where i missed the mark on that one.
still not posting my graphs and charts from WW. just not in the mood lately. i kind of feel like im just going through the motions and my heart isnt into this whole losing weight dieting/healthy living space right now. doesnt mean im giving up. my goal is to get through the holidays with no gain (a loss would be nice)
i know motivation comes and goes. i love seeing that im down 25.8 lbs. but i dont FEEL like im down that much . i still feel like i weigh 208 lbs. heck i still feel like i weigh 220 lbs (my highest weight that i know of, there were years i didnt have a scale).
it is a little daunting to know that my goal weight is still over 25 lbs away. (im aiming for 155, of course if i hit 160 and feel like im good ill stop. i want to be fit, not just thin).
im hoping the motivation returns and i kick butt in the new year. maybe i should call it beast mode for the month of jan. i have a few things im kind of not looking forward to, such as the new years resolutioners. i go to the gym, i dont really wear matching outfits, i wear whatever is comfortable, but the gym bunnies will come in looking all cute and their clothes match and fit them properly. plus i joined a new gym, so im sure the appeal is even stronger than any normal year. (i do like my new gym by the way). sometimes im pulling my pants up while working out cause guess what they dont fit me the same as they did 25 lbs ago. sometimes i have a bleach mark on my pants, and i wear them to the gym cause who cares what i look like there?
so i hope in 2014 to start a strength training routine. i have done 30 day shred, maybe ill do it again? maybe just write it down and do the workout without having to hear jillian explain things (towards the end of the 30ds you will also be telling jillian to shut up, im sure of it).
there is not much else to report on the jaime front. Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, if not, insert whatever holiday you want there, happy new years too.
im off work starting monday after 4pm, until jan 2. so i have plenty of time to go to the gym and get to working out. ill try to come up with a real game plan for jan before i post next week.

weigh in 27
last week: 185.0
this week: 183.4
loss of 1.6
whoa i lost the same amount of weight that i did last week. WEIRD. ill take it. I am back at the weight i was 11/22 too. I think for every day i take off from my WW counting, i lose a week of time (i took off two days for thanksgiving, the day before and the day of). Let this be a lesson to me about the upcoming christmas holiday.
I do not feel like posting reports from WW today. I do want to tell you that i over used my points by 2 (as in negative 2 shows up on my app if i go to yesterday). you know, sometimes you just have to do what you have to do. overall, is 2 points over really going to hurt my weight loss? i mean look at my numbers this week? i think im doing ok.
I earned 11 activity points this week, ok so i did not plug my activelink in last night, so maybe 12. I take thursdays off from the gym, so probably not, but i did walk around the mall with my husband for a bit (xmas shopping for the family).
remember how i was so excited for my husband to be going to the gym with me? and how i had him pick days (sunday, monday and wednesdays) yeah he went a total of zero times this week (i go 4-5 times a week). but he has a (man) cold. he is sneezing like crazy. he might be picking up some weird shifts coming up soon, one of his supervisors (bosses? he has several of these, one has to be in the building at all times) was terminated, and he is the back up. so that means leaving work at 8pm some nights. he also applied for her position, so im afraid of what this shift might look like. i think the supervisors rotate so not everyone is working so late.
other news: we had two snow storms since i wrote last week. 1 sunday, and the second one all day tuesday. i actually was home for round 2 working on company holiday cards. it is nice not being essential personnel anymore (i used to be, where i had to come in for a few hours even if the roads were horrible). at this current job its a small company, if i dont do the work today, ill do it tomorrow. i call myself the office manager, but i think technically accounting assistant is in there too. we are expecting snow tomorrow too!!!
I may or may not do my 5K tonight, i havent been posting my times cause they are generally the same, maybe ill only post if i get a PR. or i could get up early tomorrow morning and go. I feel like since we went to NYC Last weekend that i barely had time to unwind last weekend.
I cannot believe how close christmas is. I rarely have christmas spirit (bah humbug) but that is what growing up on welfare does to a person. where christmas we got a pair of jeans or a video that we wanted (or more embarrassing, a bra at 5th grade xmas, to a tom boy with nothing but brothers this was the most embarrassing gift ever). i hope one day when i have a kid of my own, that i can find the joy in christmas again (oh and my step son figured out at the ripe age of 8 about the big guy with the beard, which made me sad, i wish his mother would have contacted us before revealing-then again i think she might have been put on the spot, it started out with the tooth fairy and lead to easter bunny and then santa).

(quick) weigh in 26
last week: 186.6
this week: 185.0
loss of 1.6
hey guys, sorry i never got around to updating on friday, i was a bit busy with work stuff. and you know they pay the bills...
so i lost weight but i had a super tough week. im hoping this week is more smooth. just had a lot of issues with being overly hungry, i blame it on ovulation.
i did reach my goal of hitting 7 activity points for the week. im actually at that number right now for this week (my weeks start on friday).
the reason for that is that we took a bus trip to NYC to see the rockettes show (ok i should mention that i have inherited my dad's hatred for cities-i dont even like philly, how did i think id ever like new york?). i have been there before, i saw the broadway show Equus back when the kid from Harry potter was on the show (yes i saw him naked along with a woman). if you should know one thing about me, its that im a giant harry potter fan, besides the guy who played uncle vernon on harry potter was also in the play and more of the main character than daniel radcliff.
so we had a few hours of time to shop NYC. i dont know if im spoiled, but when i go shopping i park my car (for free) in the lot in front of the store, so after i purchase something i put it in my car and go, not lug it around for hours on end. plus im from a place called west chester, pa, we have a zillion shopping places so close, if i really want to have fun with the crowds, id go to the king of prussia mall (the biggest worry there is getting the right exit for the road you want)
we had a wonderful lunch, but i was never told that we would be driving during dinner time (oh my in laws took us, along with my 13 year old step son, and my sister in law and her boyfriend) not to mention some random issue with the bus not being able to park and no one being able to find out where the bus was located for a good long time. there were 3 people who held up the bus for an additional 45 minutes from the time we got on the bus. i also lack an internal GPS, i get lost in the mall. there were such big crowds that it was just crazy. but the show was good. i little on the cheesey end but i think that is just the way it is supposed to be. during the dances i kept wondering how many calories those ladies are burning up.
so we hit some major traffic leaving the city. we got back to NJ (that is where my in laws live, over an hour away from us) and stopped at mcdonalds, where i debated on getting an entire meal. i stopped myself and was like just get me a cheeseburger happy meal with apple slices. so i got that and it filled me up. i looked up the point values this morning (cause i went right to bed) and it was 8 points for the cheeseburger. they gave me a super tiny thing of french fries and i gave them to my step son. i think between all of the items i ate on the trip (not that many but my lunch was high in points) that i sucked up all of my weeklies.
so i earned 3 activity points walking around NYC yesterday. i fell asleep on the bus twice (once on the way there and once on the way back) and this morning my lower back was angry at me.
i should mention that this trip has been planned since end of the summer. so on friday i went to the gym and did my 5K. maybe in a few days ill post the results. this time i actually ran a bit. i seem to have no stamina though. but like i said ive never been a runner (and im not sure i want to run).

weigh in 25
last week: 183.4
this week: 186.6
gain of 3.2
ok so i didnt track wednesday (after lunch) or thursday (ww online kind of sort of yelled at me, gave me a red exclamation point) and i was all about eating as much as i could. so yes i gained weight, but it is not REAL weight. not just yet. way back when i lost the weight the first time (didnt get to my goal before i gave up) i would take off on holidays, just to enjoy it and not freak out about how many calories/points/carbs i was eating.
im back on track today. feeling somewhat fooded out. (is that possible?) normally on fridays i blow my weeklies, but today im right at 29 points for the day (oh i got an extra point cause i went above whatever that threshold was).
so i did my 5k on saturday last week and earned 4 points. whoa, that is nuts. i dont recall what else i did on saturday (maybe shopping at sams club?)
my times (last week):
1 Mile: 16 mins 2 seconds
2 Mile: 17 mins 14 seconds
3 mile: 17 mins 30 seconds
last 0.11: 2 minutes 10 seconds
total time 52 minutes and 54 seconds

my times:
1 Mile: 15 mins 58 seconds
2 Mile: 16 mins 42 seconds
3 mile: 17 mins 01 seconds
last 0.11: 1 minutes 44 seconds
total time 51 minutes and 05 seconds shaved off 1 minute and 49 seconds from my first time.
like i stated last week, im not a runner (i have never been a runner/im not sure im cut out to be a runner). but im pretty happy with my time.
the 4 points i earned was my most points ever earned. so i was pretty happy about that. i eat my activity points (well this week i ate someone elses points too).
we did have good thanksgiving, the food was super yummy and family was super happy. that is all that matters (even my doggie got a to go plate from my MIL). i did rewatch the hunger games 2, my friends had invited me, and i was like YEP. but ive already seen it. and it was good the second time too.
lets hope next weeks weigh in is much less than it was last week.

weight watchers weigh in number 24
last week: 184.8
this week: 183.4
loss of: 1.4
See what i got today!?? YES. i was a little shocked when i saw i lost 1.4 lbs this week. i was like whoa. my eating has been better (aka i ran out of nutella and i have no restocked it, might be a good thing).
I also hit my goal of 7 activity points this week (9 actually). two days this past week i got 3 points. one was last friday, i was off work and worked out at the gym, not sure how i got 3 points, but ill take it. the other day i hit 3 points was monday, i was running around for work purposes getting plans ran off and i had to run over to acme to get girly products, so along with the gym i hit 3 points. my goal is still 7 points per week. I have been good about my scheduled workout days (taking off tuesdays and thursdays). also my husband has been almost sticking to his schedule (to go 3 days a week) one day he missed it cause he was sick and the other day he missed the gym thanks to his ex wife messing up our schedule (not picking up the step son on time). my goal is to keep up the 7 points per week until december is over. then i want to adjust.
so my points break down, 28 points per day, all weeklies and all activities eaten
Friday: 58
Saturday: 35
Sunday: 37
Monday: 31
Tuesday: 31
Wednesday: 32
Thursday: 30
total 254
average 36.3 points per day.
last week i was averaging 35. something points per day.
i also started this new thing at the gym, where im going to do a 5K every saturday. im not a runner, even in high school with the required 1 mile run (timed) i never got below 16 minutes (and yes i got in trouble, but my dad was even more lazy than me, so he didnt care). so i kept track of my info. this is just me writing it in my notepad on my ipod. so im walking the 5K.
my times:
1 Mile: 16 mins 2 seconds
2 Mile: 17 mins 14 seconds
3 mile: 17 mins 30 seconds
last 0.11: 2 minutes 10 seconds
total time 52 minutes and 54 seconds
the cals burned according to the treadmill was 309, but i think i didnt enter my weigh in until a bit later. plus i never trust those machines. i know that i can walk as fast as 4.2 miles per hour which 4.0 is a 15 minute mile. but i cant keep that up for long periods of time. so maybe that is what i will work towards? maybe i should do an entry on Saturday with the results of the 5k. or at least closer to the 5K day (saturday)

i also started this new thing at the gym, where im going to do a 5K every saturday. im not a runner, even in high school with the required 1 mile run (timed) i never got below 16 minutes (and yes i got in trouble, but my dad was even more lazy than me, so he didnt care). so i kept track of my info. this is just me writing it in my notepad on my ipod. so im walking the 5K.
my times:
1 Mile: 16 mins 2 seconds
2 Mile: 17 mins 14 seconds
3 mile: 17 mins 30 seconds
last 0.11: 2 minutes 10 seconds
total time 52 minutes and 54 seconds
the cals burned according to the treadmill was 309, but i think i didnt enter my weigh in until a bit later. plus i never trust those machines. i know that i can walk as fast as 4.2 miles per hour which 4.0 is a 15 minute mile. but i cant keep that up for long periods of time. so maybe that is what i will work towards? maybe i should do an entry on Saturday with the results of the 5k. or at least closer to the 5K day (saturday)

so i have some happy news to report, my gym opened early. i missed three days of it being open but that was 4 days earlier than i was going to go. it was an accident that i figured out it was open (as in my bird needed pellets and they only sell those at a pet store, so i went to the one next to the new gym and saw a giant sign that said no open!!!). so i have gone to the gym sunday, monday and wednesday. i plan on going today. so i did not hit my 7 points per week goal, but we are really going to try this week.
i am doing a bit better with my food this week, still having a lot of sugar cravings, im blaming hormones for this. this should all sort itself out in a few days. i also kind of screwed myself with eating most of my dailies over the weekend. i need to keep a few extra for things like a side with dinner.
i also have this new idea. so normally at 2pm i eat a special k pantry crisp, for 3 points. i discovered that a packet of instant oatmeal is 4 points. so i ate a packet of oatmeal yesterday instead of the pantry crisp and i was full until dinner time. so for one more point i get something that really fills me up.
i am off work today, for a nerd reason. we got a playstation 4. my husband has been watching all of the info and reading all of the articles. so i originally took today off to stand in line to get one somewhere. turns out the gamestop near my house had them for sale yesterday at 6pm, so my husband paid for it and came home. we then went to pick it up at midnight. everyone was so very nice to each other by the way. so as i should have just said i was coming in i opted to stay home. so we already went out to lunch together and have just been having a low key day.
so lets hope next week we see a much lower number. but i need to remember that paying attention to what i eat and it will pay off on the scale.
