Weigh-In Wednesday

I'm linking up for Weigh-In Wednesday yet again! :) Go check out all the other weigh-ins this week!

152.6 lbs. That's what I saw on the scale this week! :) I'm down 1.6 lbs this week, and down a total of 10.8 lbs! Maybe I'll see 150 next week? I would still like to lose around 30-35 lbs, but I'm getting there, one (or two) lbs at a time! :)

I am ecstatic! Paleo is working for me, and I could not be happier that I have finally found the kind of eating that works for me and my body!

Now, I am not 100% Paleo! I'd say most weeks, I eat about 80% Paleo. If I'm really craving some non-Paleo food, I will have it. I don't deprive myself and I never feel deprived, which I think has been the key to my success thus far. The short amount of time that I've been eating Paleo, I've seen a loss on the scale each week. That's one of the few ways that I know it works for me.

My jeans are fitting looser and my skin is starting to clear up a bit, too.

The one thing I need to work on this week is my motivation to workout. I've been slacking a little and not getting all my workouts in. But I am determined to finish Body Revolution! I don't want to stop doing the workouts with only three weeks to go; that would just be silly!

Be on the look-out for another recipe post on Friday!

How was your week, ladies? I want to hear about it!

Weigh-In Wednesday

Linking up with Erin and Alex again this week for Weigh-In Wednesday! Go check out everyone else's progress through the links on their blogs! :)

I had an awesome weigh-in this week! I was only down 6 ounces, but I got below 155! 154.8 lbs :) I am beyond happy! I cannot remember the last time I saw a number; it was at least a year ago... probably more.

Ignore the toes! They will be painted next week, I promise!

I credit the loss to Paleo eating and ditching the calorie-counting. Now, I am definitely not 100% Paleo but it does seem to be helping with my weight loss, which is an added bonus to the health benefits.

Next week, I'm shooting for somewhere in the 153s. :)

How did your week go?

Weigh-In Wednesday

It's that time again: weigh-in Wednesday! :) I'm linking up with Erin and Alex; go check out their blogs and the others that have linked up!

Now, let's get to it! My weigh-in this week: 155.4 lbs. I saw 155 this week! :) FINALLY! I was down 1.8 lbs from last week, so that's pretty awesome too.

Next week, I'd like to see any number that is at or below 155.0!

I've been doing great with getting my workouts in this past week, per my goals for March. I plan to continue with that trend in the coming weeks, obviously. I love the energy I have on the days I workout and I love how much better I sleep. It's definitely worth 30-60 minutes of my time each day.

At the beginning of the week, I decided to stop counting calories. No, I haven't lost my mind! Since I've started eating Paleo, my appetite is more satisfied than before, when I was eating more carbs and more processed foods. Imagine that... being more satisfied with more protein, fruits, and veggies instead of processed junk that's full of fillers and preservatives! I'm going to start listening to my body when it comes to food. When my body tells me I'm hungry, I'll eat. When it signals that I'm full, I'll stop eating. I'll still watch my portions and watch my fruit intake so that I don't hinder my weight loss, but I won't be counting calories on MFP for the time being. Now, on the occasional day that I do stray from a Paleo diet, I will be logging; carbs and sweets are easy to overeat, plain and simple.

How did your weigh-in go this week? What do you want to see next week? What's your plan to get there?

Weigh-In Wednesday

Linking up with Erin & Alex this week for weigh-in Wednesday! Go check out all the other blogs! :)

This week, I weighed in at 157.2 lbs. So I am down a few ounces, but not as much as I would have liked to have seen.

I've been failing miserably at following the Whole 30, but I am still following a Paleo diet. Over the past few days, I've been paying attention to the macronutrients of the foods I'm eating on MFP. I've been OVER on carbs every. single. day. So I'm working on that! It's one of my goals for the coming week(s).

I've been doing great with my workouts though! I even started with added cardio today! While the hubs was at Crossfit tonight, I did my first day of Couch to 5K... that's in addition to the Body Revolution workout I did this morning. I'm gonna keep doing that on hubs' Crossfit days (MWF)!

Starting next week, I'm going to start doing my weigh-ins on Sundays or Mondays. I'll still post my results on Wednesdays, but I'll be doing the actual weigh-in earlier in the week. The reason for this change is that I've noticed a trend with my Wednesday weigh-ins: my weight is always higher because, by Wednesday, I'm already sore from the workouts earlier the week. Sore muscles = water retention.

How did your week go, ladies?

Weigh-In Wednesday

I'm linking up again this week with Erin and Alex for Weigh-In Wednesday! 

Well I gained 2 oz. this week. But, if you read my last post, you know I should be happy with that small of a gain! Let's just say I enjoyed my two days at WDW. ;) But I did stay accountable with tracking everything on MFP.

this week's weight (top) and last week's weight (bottom)

I'm telling myself that next week will be better and that I WILL see a loss, because I will, damn it! :) I'm really hoping for a loss of at least one pound, although I would love to see more! I think it's about time I see that 155 on the scale.

So tell me, how did your weigh-in go this week?

Weigh-In Wednesday

Well I decided to join in with Weigh-In Wednesday this week! I mean, I already do my official weigh-in on Wednesdays, so it only made sense! :)

I was down from last week to 157.4 lbs, but it still wasn't what I was hoping for. I sneaked a peek at the scale yesterday and it showed 157.0 lbs, and I think that may be a little more accurate, but yesterday wasn't weigh-in day! My weight has just been hovering between 156 and 158 for the past month (longer actually) and it has been really frustrating.

MFP Progress Screenshot for the past 30 days.

What I really want to see on that screenshot is 155 or lower! I'm hoping that once I start the Whole30 Challenge next week, I will be able to see that number on the scale and eventually see less than that.

I already suspect that my body doesn't like carbs (and sugar too) and that they are not my friend... no matter how yummy they are. It is reflected in the way my skin looks and the scale and the muffin top. With the Whole30, I'm hoping that I'll be able to confirm my suspicion.
