Soooooo last week I was kind of a food wreck. I tracked each day but most of the time by the evening I was already so close to my calorie count that I stopped tracking and kept eating. Not a great combination!
But I have recovered. I only let myself do it for a day or two and now I am back on track! I have lost 2 of those lbs from the gain last week and I have started weightlifting thanks to the encouragement from my friend Jaime. Read her blog! I do! http://faithmommajp.blogspot.com/
So last week I am just going to give you a rough estimate of my stats! Oh yes and I dropped my phone on Easter Sunday and had to get a new phone on Monday so I changed how I was tracking my calories. I am now on myfitnesspal, my name is rileylizzie if you want to friend me.

Weekly Update, Week 15
Monday 1904, Workout- Building the fence- 4 hours after work
Tuesday - 1460 Workout-walking with the dogs, burnt 326 calories
Wednesday- 1371Workout- Zumba 65 min, Burnt 779 calories
Thursday-a whole lot of calories probably over 2600---- Donuts for my 2nd hour (I ate 3) and pizza and beer at the baseball game that night.... No workout except the stairs at the ballpark
Friday - 1677- workout- track- 2 miles- cleaned the house for 2 hours- throwing the baseball around
Saturday- 1500 calories- Bike the lake trails (10 miles) My rear end is soooooo sore.
Sunday-1770 Workout biked around the block--- not too far--- the rear end situation.
We had a nice weekend. I have come to realize that Easter is not my favorite holiday.
I believe that Christ rose from the grave and I celebrate that but besides that it is not so great with life happenings.
When I was a kid my dog got out and was ran over on Easter (my first dog that was my own not the families), my mom was in a car wreck, pretty bad 3 years ago (she is ok, but it was a terrible day) and yesterday my husband and I were at odds with each other the whole day (no major reason just couldn't get along) and then I dropped my phone and shattered the screen.
I know I cried about it yesterday. My husband laughed and that made me sooo angry. I am not a person attached to worldly things like that but it was what I kept track of my weight loss stuff on. It was how I checked the weather, it was so engrained in my daily life that it was more than just a phone.
Now I am one of those people who is not always on my phone but when I sat down I liked to check my calories and look at all my pictures. I had pictures on there from when my niece was only 1 year old and barely had any hair... I just miss my pictures. I had pictures from my trip to Napa Valley to out vacations and summers.
It just sucks.
One victory--- I did not eat one peanut butter egg this Easter... I can usually pack away about 10 in the course of a Easter holiday season. But I did not even eat one. But I did have 3 cadbury eggs but they were spaced about a week apart from each other.

It has been a long process but my husband and father in law got the nail gun today and should be putting up the boards! Then our big baby will have a yard to play in!.

Weekly Update, Week 11 and grocery store angst from a meat eater
Monday 1910, Workout- Zumba 60 min- Burned 795 calories
Tuesday - 1573 Workout-Bike 50 min-- 9 miles --- Burned 872 calories
Wednesday- 1620 Workout- Zumba 60 min-- Burned 795 calories
Thursday-1478 Workout- Bad day at school, went to bed early
Friday - 2101 Workout- walked outside when I took my 5th hour out to play- burned 165 calories
Saturday- 2143 Workout-Bike 50 min -- 10 miles, Abs, arms- burned 1872
Sunday-1590 Workout-walked/jogged 40 min with my dog outside it was a nice day. Burned 517
I am adding in what the livestrong.com says I burn for these activities. I am still thinking about how much I am burning and how many net calories it says I am consuming. I do not want to wreck my metabolism. I want to do this the healthy way and learn to eat in a healthy way.
I have broken my 15 lb barrier last Friday morning. I knew that I really wanted to hit this number so I kept weighing every day or so which I know is terrible but I wanted to break this barrier.
My sister, brother in law and niece are coming to visit us for my spring break next week. Actually they will be here on Friday. They eat very clean so I am not worried about gaining weight with them. Hopefully perhaps I can still drop with them here.
Yesterday at the grocery store we kept looking for organic and other whole foods for them and us while they are here. It was funny, my husband who is a total Oklahoma man. I mean he hunts and fishes, he is strong and does all kinds of manly things. Well we have changed our lifestyle and I used to be a vegetarian and I have always been an advocate for the farmers market and other local produce. So yesterday in our basket, if we had meat it was chicken, turkey, fish or morningstar burgers. My poor husband looks up at me and ask if he is ever going to eat red meat again. Of course we will but he really loves the morningstar burgers and he ask for fish often so it is really fun to see his transformation too.
Because I have been doing well on my weight loss with the rewards list--- 5 lbs- new earring, etc... he told me he needs to start one for the 2 lbs he needs to lose. -1lb he gets a new firefighter helmet ($250) I just laughed in his face...

March Challenge has not been great. I am so used to eating breakfast in the car on the way to work I keep forgetting I am not suppose to. I have done better and ate at home at the table but breakfast on weekdays is killing me.
I feel good this week. I am hoping for a 2 lbs weight loss. I am off my period so I will probably drop about 3 lbs.
I had a great weekend with my husband. I have been in this allergy fog pretty much all weekend. But I went jogging on Saturday and I was able to jog straight for over 5 mins. I haven't been able to do that since 2009. I feel good.

Wednesday- 1,439 Workout- Zumba 60 min

Well I guess I can say that it was a good week! I moved more than last week which is good. But I am a little discouraged about weight loss right now. I don't think I can make my -15 lbs goal. I think I am going to be shy of that.
It just feels like a lot of work right now and not a lot of benefits. I know there is the health benefits. But I just want to feel like I am doing more.
I wish I could get those big numbers like the biggest loser people. I know that I have a job and a life to where I can't work out all the time but I just wish I felt a little better about it.
I mean what if it takes me a year to lose 60 lbs? What if I do this for a year and I only lose 30 of the needed 80 lbs to lose...
I am sorry I am a Debbie downer..
On the bright side I had a awesome day with my husband yesterday. We went to church, then the grocery store, the movies (we saw Wanderlust... funny movie but a lot of nudity), then we went to the bookstore together and the we had dinner out on the lake. It was really wonderful Here is a picture of our dinner.
