Last week's weigh-in: 136.6lbs
This week's weigh-in: 135.0lbs
Goal weight: 133lbs
Not too bad considering the weekend, although the overall trend over the last 2-3 weeks has been a stable line. Once I have de-bloated by next week, hopefully I will be close to the end of the challenge! (Although Krista's birthday weekend is coming up... better make sure to weigh myself Friday morning!)
I still want to meet my weight goal, so I will not be swapping it out for an exercise goal like we talked about, but I'm totally cool if that's what you guys want to do. I will add a little unofficial exercise goal though just to move some of the focus off the dreaded scale number - I want to be able to touch the ceiling when I do the jump part of burpies. I think I'm about two inches away at this point. (I think our ceilings are 9 feet high).
Unexpected side-effect of Jillian - I am a better dancer! Okay, maybe not better (because I still probably look like a fish out of water having a seizure) but I can do way more jumping and twisting and squatting type moves and not get tired on the dance floor - wearing 3 inch heels! Woo!

Monday weigh-in
126.4
thanks to an unfortunate stomach bug but at this point I guess I'll have to take it.

In Which I Do Not Wax Poetic About My Weight...
But instead share a delicious lunch recipe!
I just ate this - it is a modified Super tuna. But I was getting tired of tuna. SO!
Egg Salad -Salad:
Combine : 2 hard boiled eggs, fresh dill, finely chopped celery and green onion, cucumber and 2Tbsp of Mayo
Place on top of bed of chopped baby spinach and green beans ( I used the marvelous ones from Costco. They have no equal short of homegrown)
Enjoy!
I figured since I split the egg salad portion with the baby, it was okay to put in a lot of mayo!
It really didn't even taste like "egg salad" since it was so very crunchy. I am in love with this. So yummy!

I think Sunday should have been the new Monday!
Dammit! My friend frienemy the scale needs to go to hell and die.
Sunday morning: 134lbs
Monday morning: 137lbs
Tuesday morning: 135lbs (after breakfast)
It seems as though I am losing weight. I feel hungry enough that I should be losing weight. Sadly, it doesn't always work that way. Next week should help determine if there is a downward trend.
The good news (when you are an optimist there is always good news!) is that I have been sincerely enjoying getting back together with Jillian. She is my friend. Always yelling at me to do that one last push-up, hold that idiot squat for 5 more seconds.
I love feeling strong. Thanks for that Jills.
Oh! And there's more! I'm not yet tired of salad(s) and soup(s). The dieters bread and butter, those two.
Finally, my jeans fit better. Fat jeans, you are OUT! Skinny jeans, get ready, I'm coming for you!

Monday Should Have Been the New Tuesday
Last week's weigh-in: 135.4lbs
This week's weigh-in: 136.6lbs
Goal weight: 133lbs
Balls. Although this is up almost a pound from yesterday, so hopefully it is a bit of a spike anomaly in one way or an other.
Clearly, I have not been working very hard. It is so easy to fall back into old habits! Motivation, where did you go? Although when I do get around to doing Jillian, I am enjoying the harder Body Revolution workouts. All the tricky balancing and jumping keeps my focus and makes the time go by a (tiny) bit faster.
Oh well, time to buckle down and see some progress before ruining it all at Krista's birthday celebrations :)

Monday - Update!
Good Morning!
There is lots to talk about today. I got my x-ray results back - no fracture!!! So I am almost 3 weeks into rest, and it is so.much.better. I almost feel like I could run on it. Soon. I just know it!
I weighed in yesterday afternoon instead of last night - good thing too since we had a birthday dinner for my brother and chicken piccata and pumpkin cheesecake brownies are so not diet food. But so worth it - omg you guys they were delicious!!!
Weight: 127.2
Goal: 124
Pounds to go: 3.2
So close! It is the frustrating part where you can see the goal is soclose and yet still S O F A R away. Even if I can manage to lose a pound a week (yeah right) it is still 3 weeks of torture.
I have learned that although it is a good way to measure overall change, the trying to hit a certain weight goal is stupid. At least for me. It does keep me motivated but I really could care less about the actual number on the scale. I care most about how strong I feel, and how my clothes fit properly. No weight goal next time - someone remind me!!!
I am loving the No More Trouble Zones Jillian workout. I can do all but a few of the exercises ( surrenders, and the plank twists) but there is no problem just subbing in something else while they do those couple of things. This is the first time I have tried a new workout and have been able to not only keep up, but enjoy it. Usually I am practically dying or falling over ( due to lack of fitness and overall clumsiness). But I can keep up and have already gone up to a heavier weight for a bunch of the moves! So yay Jillian!
On an unrelated note - I am a sneaky soup genius. My kids think they only like canned tomato soup (okay in a pinch but really? homemade is sooooooo much better!) So I served then minestrone, and the claimed it was yucky. Then! I blended it up, added a drop of cream et voila! They ate it. Haha children I am smarter than you (at least for now!)
