Okay, not really. Vacation is wonderful and fabulous and amazing!
It's just not so good for the whole keeping-weight-down thing.
It's like the parents are out of town and I'm staying with the grandparents. In other words, nobody was spanking those pounds. Haha!
So much good food. So many amazing feasts. So many good reasons (and not-so-good-reasons) to pig out!
I am sad to say that when I got home from my vacation I was 179 lbs.
YIKES!!!
Boy that snuck up awfully fast.
Then it was my birthday week.
Giant leftover cake. Not good.
And now I'm back to being good. I've worked out 3 of the last 4 days and started to edge down the portion sizes once again.
I'm definitely going to have to do better on our August vacation so that this doesn't happen again.
Wish me luck!!

Chelsey - week ... something Weigh in, PLUS TIPS: Counting Calories
Hello all!
Since Sara has basically given up, (just teasing Sara) I guess its my turn to start posting every week, that is if anyone is even still following this.
My weigh in this week:
178.2
Yep. I dont remember my weigh in last week, but I think its like a pound or something. Not bad.
Thats 18 pounds lost! And only 13 more to go by August! It would be great to go back to my old 155, but if I make it to 165, I will be more than thrilled.
SO some tips, I know Counting Calories is a big fat pain in the butt, but you really dont have to do it forever. If you have never done it before, try it. Jsut for two weeks. I posted everything I ate and the calorie amount on the fridge every day so I could see where I was. It just makes you more aware of what foods are high in calorie and how much youa re actually eating a day. If I dont diet, I usually consume around 2500, thats way more than I should be. So now I ry to stick around1200 to 1400. But again, Im not counting anymore, but I am aware of around where Im at since I now know what things Im eating and what their calories are.
Okay, thats all for now. Next weeks goal is 176. But for right now, I fit into my old shirts!!! and that makes me happy. Not all of them, but some, its like a whole new wardrobe!

Sara Weigh In
Hello all! I have been a tad bit of a slacker. But here's the thing, I've been weighing myself often and it's still the same. I hover now around the 170 point. I've gotten to 169. Then back to 170. Then up to 172. Then back to 170.
So I just figured that was kind of boring. A whole lot of me at the same weight, there's not really much to tell. And really, I'm okay with that.
Would I love to lose more?
Yes.
But is that sustainable?
Probably not.
Which is really, kind of the point, right?
So we'll see. I promise to let you know if I gain or lose any more. But for now I am at 170 and it seems likely that's where I'll stay.

Sorry,- Chelsey
Hel;lo You all.
Sorry I havent posted..in like.. A month.. haha
Im really just honestly spacey. Sara said some of you were concerned, so I decided I better get off my lazy butt and post.
Anywho. Update! So, like amonth ago I got asn iud taken out and couple hormone shots, and got down to 181!!! But then easter happened and I havent honestly dieted since then, so TODAY I was 184.
But I did go get a gym membership, mostly to go tanning, but I find that once Im there I might as well workout while Im at it. I didwork out 5 out of 7 days last week. So this week I will try to incorporporate not eating cookie dough and cupcakes and see if the weight comes off. haha. :)
My goal is to get to 179 here in the next two weeks.
I must now go stop my toddler from eating a marker.

Sara Weigh In
Since yesterday was Easter (happy Easter!) I didn't get a weigh-in done in the morning. I was too busy getting ready for church, the Easter Bunny, egg hunts, yummy dinners, etc.
I did weigh myself this morning and am feeling far too lazy at the moment to take a picture and upload it, so I'm just gonna tell you this time.
I'm at 171.
Ta-da!
Yeah, nothing earth shattering or much different.
And with a whole lot of feasting and Easter candy I will try...a little...but I doubt this next week will be earth shattering either.
So I'll see you then!
Oh yeah, and Monday Mountain = easter candy. For sure!!

Monday Mountains
Yes, it's Tuesday. I realize that.
But I need help/advice and so I figured I'd just do a late Monday Mountain post.
Lately when I do my workouts I've been getting light-headed.
Like...really light-headed.
This is strange to me. I never even had that problem when I first started even though I was almost 30 pounds heavier and much less in shape.
I've tried drinking more water and eating a heartier breakfast (with protein) and it doesn't seem to help. I just get dizzy and have to stop and rest until the world rights itself again.
Any ideas? Suggestions?
