Weight Watchers - 3rd week of February

Forgot to ask....

Is anyone here doing or contemplating any particular upcoming workout rotation?? I cant decide if I should just do whatever or try to follow some sort of goal-oriented rotation. As it is, I've only been able to workout 3-4 times most weeks.

Also, I wouldnt be using these points, as I only get 2 AP's per workout, even Cathe workouts (with the occassional 3 AP for a really long workout)
 
I agree Melissa, it made me LOL!

Well, (insert sigh) this morning was my weigh in. I didn't lose anything this week.:( My scale only measures whole numbers. On the bright side I didn't gain either.;)

I did IMAX2 premix 6-10 and CCV3 on the elliptical and rebounder for the steady states. Too much of the elliptical agravates my Morton neuroma. :( I earned 9 pts. I didn't plan on doing all of CCV3 but I love the sprints at the end.:D

Eats for today:

B: oats,blueberries,flax and agave syrup 4pts
L: 4 egg whites,spinach,1oz of reduced fat cheese all put on an
Arnold WW thin plus a 1/4 of a grapefruit. 6pts
S: ? apple and sunbutter 5pts
D:Seasoned pork tenderloin (WW recipe) sweet potato and salad 8pts
S: not sure

Without the second snack this is 23pts.
 
Stacy, you really made me LOL. If I'm coming to find you, it'd probably be to go get icecream.

As far as a rotation goes, I know heavy weight and intense cardio works for me. (Scares DH to death. He be thinking I'll bulk up.) I try to get two heavy weight days in and one circuit or muscle endurance type work out a week. I wish I could follow Cathe's but, she focus a lot on lower body, but i'm an apple. I need balance.

I can't believe you only get 2-3 APs in per workout. Are you breaking each area down to low, med and high intensity? It's something to think about.

Elaine, good job on not gaining. KIP
 
Sadly enough, my AP's are true. I enter my workouts in by minutes and my level of intensity. I dont get 3 points until I'm over 45 minutes of "moderate intensity" cardio.

Shereta...if you come get me for ice cream be prepared to overeat, because I do enjoy my share of junk food, I really dont like ice cream!! My hubby loves it so he can have it in the house and I wont even touch it. Now potato chips....that's another story!
 
Hey Stacy - In March I'm hoping to do the Rock Bottoms rotation that Cathe recently created. It looks tough - but it looks like just what I need to get things kick-started for spring!
 
Stacy, I just remembered Cathe's rotations thread has a bunch of old monthly rotations. You should look through there.

Menu:
S. Peanuts = 1
B. 3 eggs, milk = 8
s. banana, cereal bar = 3
L. salad, tuna, crackers = 14
s. candy, apple = 2
D. frozen dinner, ice cream - 15
total: 43

S: 1 Nature's Valley oats & honey crunchy granola bar
L: two slices light italian bread, 1 slice white cheese (I was supposed to have soup with this, but wasn't feeling it)

Off to workout. I'm going to do Body Max 2 (step only) unless something else jumps out at me.
 
Hi ladies,

Busy day again today, but I wanted to check in and post my workout/eating.

Planned dinner: 1 roasted chicken quarter, 1/2 c whole wheat couscous, 1 cup grilled asparagus

Ugh, I had a huge dinner and dessert, right before weigh-in. I'm such a dope! I'm starting to feel my positive mindset and my control slipping away....help!! :(
 
Wednesday weigh-in.......down 0.2 from last Wednesday, up about 1.5 from a few days ago :(

As Cathe says...."Get your game face on!"
 
Hello Ladies

Today's workout was MMA Boxing. I earned 11 APs. I binged on Valentine's chocolates late last night. Boy, those WPs are going byebye really fast. STS TB tomorrow - woohoo. It's my new fav.

Don't worry, Stacy, keep up the good work. Slowly but surely, we'll reach ours goals.
 
Old Plan Points vs. New Plan Points

So, I've been following the old plan since Saturday, and have also been tracking what I've been eating using the points tracker for the new plan. It turns out that by following the points I was allotted on the old plan, I'm eating 26 points a day.

Melissa - didn't you say you ate 26 points/day last week and lost a pound? I'm hoping to see the scale move on Saturday, although I did use all my WPs on the weekend.

Stacy - don't beat yourself up! At the VERY least, you're committed to staying healthy. By following all the Good Health Guidelines on the WW plan, you sure will be fueling your body with all the right stuff, and hopefully eventually the scale will move as well.
 
Melanie - yes, I ate 26 points last week and lost 1 lb. I'm doing the same this week as well to see if that is my magic number. Keeping the fingers crossed..;)

I'm feeling great today. My dress pants feel even looser today then they did last week...:cool:

Here is my menu for today:

B: 3 egg whites, 1 whole egg scrambled with 2T shredded cheddar & 2T salsa, 1/2 c 1%
L: whole wheat pita, 1/2 c tuna, 1T HVR Light & shredded veggies
S: :(:(:(...I forgot my apple today. It's gonna be a rough afternoon.
D: 1 1/2 c pasta, 1/2 cup pasta sauce, veggies roasted w/3tsp olive oil, 1 c 1%

I have High Reps lower body premix on tap for tonight. This butt could use some squats!!!
 
Shereta: I think STS TB is becoming my favorite also. I can't believe how many calories I burn doing it. Usually when I do a weight workout I may burn 130 cals, but with STS TB I burn over 200!!! The workout just flys by.

Stacy: Pick your self up and dust off. We can do this!! regarding a rotation, I usually make up my own and follow it until I get bored, about 4-6 weeks.

Melissa: WoooHooo! for looser pants!

Melanie: I think we have to tweek the numbers to fit our body.

I had a physical today. My doctor said to me that there was a study done where people who were sick and had a positive attitude that they would beat their illness did get better and people who whined and was negative about getting better did not. I think this applies to many things including weight lose.

I didn't get up early enough for a WO, but I am taking the dog for a nice long walk that she truly diserves. 30 temps today.:D:D:D

Menu:

B: oats,blueberries,flax,agave syrup, and hard boiled egg
S: clemintine
L: 4 egg whites,spinach,1oz of reduced fat cheese,Arnold ww thin, and broccoli and fish oil
S: apple and sunbutter ( really love this stuff and have to measure out 2 tbsp or I could eat the whole jar!:eek:)
D: thinking 4oz gnd turkey,marinara sauce, spaghetti squash and maybe a salad.
S: yogurt,banana,granola

Do all of you fill in the healthy checks on the food tracker? I usually don't but I'm wondering if I should.
 
Melissa, great job on tweaking the plan. And I see you be liking some eggs, cheese and salsa. I knew great minds think alike. Oh, and High Reps be killing the bootay. Enjoy.
 
Shereta - I'm looking forward to sore buns tomorrow!!! And I think I'm addicted to eggs, salsa & cheese. Thanks for the suggestion. I contemplated licking the bowl this morning but I stopped myself...:eek:

Elaine - I agree that what your doctor told you would definelty apply to losing weight. Thanks for sharing that. I'll have to keep that in mind the next time I have a bad attitude...;) I don't fill in the healthy checks on the tracker. I'm pretty sure I'm getting them all in, but that might be a good thing to do for a week or so just to make sure.
 
Elaine - Did you doggy enjoy her nice long walk? I love walking my dog - such a joy.

I'm enjoying a new treat - I take low-cal hot chocolate (which on its own is not that great) but I add a tbsp. of high quality cocoa powder - delicious!

BTW, I love checking off those healthy check things. Its a little positive reminder that you're doing things right for yourself. Sometimes there are days I forget to get in my dairy, so its a good reminder.
 
Oh yeah - I wanted to share something positive that made me realize the number on the scale is not the only thing we should be judging ourselves by.

So Saturday was my weigh-in and the scale, once again, hadn't budged. I felt so discouraged. Later that day we went to a special event, and my friend told me "wow - you're looking slim!" Huh - isn't that interesting - here I was feeling so down on myself, and other people think I look great.

Anyways, it was an eye-opening comment for me, and has helped me to keep a positive attitude and just focus on being strong & healthy.

Glad to find other women who are focused on the same goals!!! :)
