Movin’ on down!

August 5th, 2006 by Anna

I definitely feel like I’m back on track now. I think I’ve got my head “in the game” as my daughter would say. I’m eating right and when I don’t, I at least don’t blow the day (or week, or month as it had been there for awhile). I’m not feeling deprived – though I do whine. I’m getting excercise in at least three times a week and not letting myself have excuses not to. My attitude regarding my appearance is improving. I don’t like who I see in the mirror yet, but I’m definitely seeing positive body changes.

I’m not putting so much pressure on myself to do too many things at once. I decided against the gym for now. I have a new principal at my school and a LOT of changes in my department so who knows what my “free” time will be like. It was actually very relieving to when I decided finally against the gym for now. I have too much on my plate – no pun intended.

So not an exciting post, but wanted to check in.

Hi Anna ~ I am getting back on track myself after having my 4th precious little one. He will be a year old next weeK! I am 37, 5’5″ and my starting weight was 171. OY! As of today I am down 6 pounds. My goal is 140. Enough info. about me…anyway I just wanted to say “thank you” for sharing your tools with all of us. I LOVE the Weight Loss Progress Chart! It really motivates me and each week I try to beat my old weight. It keeps me focused. I tell everyone about it and they love it too! I am a low carb girl…I am not scary strict, but it has been really working for me. I enjoy checking out your blog from time to time…plus I like the random quotes. Remember…we can do all things through Christ who strengthen us! So here’s to reaching our goals!

It’s a good feeling when you’re “in the zone”! I think I’m there as well. I actually ate a quiznos sub and a wendy’s jr frosty guilt free this week as well … I earned them with a hour and twenty-five minute bike ride! Activity points are a good thing!

Do you have the points for all of the Quizno’s subs? I only know the sierra smoked turkey…

Jennifer, great job at the 6 pounds! Whoo hoo! I’m glad you like the chart. I use it, too. I’m glad low carb works for you. I just love my bread products too much. Yesterday’s food journal said “pizza” but really it was my kids’ crusts only. Doh! Keep checking in on me! I need everyone to help keep me accountable! And I love to hear how everyone else is doing, too!

I have only been able to find a couple of websites with Quiznos nutritional info:

http://www.calorieking.com/foods/category.php?category_id=21&brand_id=814&partner=

and

http://www.calorie-count.com/calories/manufacturer/55.html

Both links seem to have the same information on them. I’m just glad my hometown also has a Subway ’cause Quiznos doesn’t seem to be very good for you!

Hi Anna,
I have been reading your posts for a while now, thought I would comment, finally. (The “get your head in the game” quote reminds me of my 13 year old daughter’s favorite movie, High School Musical) I have been on WW since the end of February with 105 pounds to lose. I was seriously considering bariatric surgery, but was declined because I am too healthy. I came to WW daring it to work and it has! I am 32 pounds down now. I really appreciate your excel charts, the visual impact is very motivating. Thank you for sharing these! Have a good week and I hope to check in more often.

Andrea, High School Musical is EXACTLY where my daughter gets that phrase.

Congrats on the 32 pounds! You don’t need no stinkin’ surgery! Yay you!
