I started off the day measuring my food and calories, then invited Zen out for lunch at China King. That blew the calories and the food journaling for the day. But hey, the size 18's were seriously falling off my rear, so I got brave enough to step on the scales and take a peak: 195. Whew! I know that's not great, but at least I wasn't over 200, my greatest fear. I defintely gotta get back into setting a big, huge goal. I totally lost the competitive spirit I had on the HWHL blog last summer and early fall. I need to get excited about goal achievement again, as it pertains to my body and my health.
Tuesday 1 March - HWHL Points Today - 16 of 40 basic possible (90 total this session, session goes from Sun 27 Feb to Sat 2 Apr) -10 for eating in calorie range, -2 eating all fruits and veggies, +1 eating breakfast lunch dinner, +3 drink 64 oz. water, +2 for no soda pop, -1 not taking multivitamin, +5 30 min exercise, -3 no food journal, +5 post or comment, -3 stop eating 2hrs before bed, -5 bonus points not done for the day, didn't exercise until 9am (this week's goal is to be done exercising by 8am) - I slept in again because that darn Sammy got up three times in the night and Zen is home for 2 weeks before he leaves for Houston, so he held down the fort while I slept.

Day 251
The HWHL blog is in a new session, which is a special one-year-anniversary five-week challenge, with an extra 5 bonus points each day for achieving a personally stated goal, different each week. I just don't feel like putting in all the stats today, but I will write down my points for the past three days, since the session started on Sunday, February 27th. Tonight's "Bloated" post reads:
"I don't know what I weigh right now, because I refuse to step on the scales. Yes, I am a mature adult, I swear! All I know is that my size 16 pants will still go on, and the 18's are still a little loose, but other than that, I just don't wanna know. I ate like a pig most days in the past two weeks, and when the scales got in the upper 190's (the lowest I got down to since starting last summer was 185), I quit stepping on the scales. I was stuffing my face for no other reason than just to prove I could, just to enjoy the idea of endulging. But I kind of got sick of the bloated feeling, so I've cut back on the excessive snacking. But I'm still not out of the woods yet because while I physically don't want to be pigging out, emotionally I want to."
Tuesday 1 March - HWHL Points Today - 28 of 40 basic possible (74 total this session, session goes from Sun 27 Feb to Sat 2 Apr) +10 for eating in calorie range, -2 eating all fruits and veggies, +1 eating breakfast lunch dinner, -3 not drink 64 oz. water, +2 for no soda pop, -1 not taking multivitamin, +5 30 min exercise, +3 food journal, +5 post or comment, +2 for posting as well as commenting, -3 stop eating 2hrs before bed, -5 bonus points done for the day (this week's goal is to be done exercising by 8am)
Monday 28 Feb - HWHL Points - 36 of 40 possible (46 total this session, session goes from Sun 27 Feb to Sat 2 Apr) +10 for eating in calorie range, +2 eating all fruits and veggies, +1 eating breakfast lunch dinner, +3 drink 64 oz. water, +2 for no soda pop, -1 not taking multivitamin, +5 30 min exercise, +3 food journal, +5 post or comment, -3 stop eating 2hrs before bed, +5 bonus points done for the day (this week's goal is to be done exercising by 8am)
Sunday 27 Feb - HWHL Points - 10 of 40 possible (10 total this session, session goes from Sun 27 Feb to Sat 2 Apr) -10 for eating in calorie range, -2 eating all fruits and veggies, +1 eating breakfast lunch dinner, -3 not drink 64 oz. water, +2 for no soda pop, -1 not taking multivitamin, -5 30 min exercise, -3 food journal, +5 post or comment, +2 for posting as well as commenting, - 3 stop eating 2hrs before bed, -5 bonus points not done for the day (this week's goal is to be done exercising by 8am)
My "Done by 8am" post on Sunday read - "First off, my brain totally missed the fact that our challenge started today, so today is shot already! I guess I got a few points for not drinking soda pop and for eating all 3 meals, but that's about it. No exercise, no multivitamin, no calorie counting or food journal, nothin'. Oh, I guess I get 7 points for commenting and posting, so hey, I guess I got over 10, not a total loss. Anyway, there are several major things I need to work on - believe it or not it's not exercise. I do that every day, except Sunday, just because I need it mentally in order to function every day. My weaknesses are getting enough water, staying in my calorie range, remembering to take the multivitamin, and stopping eating at least 2 hours before bed. And I'm with Cammy, I'd love to do something similar to what she's doing for sleep - only the goal would be to be in bed with the lights out by 11pm, and then up by 6am. It's not eight hours, but it's still pretty decent. I want to capture those two hours before all the little ones are up, so I can have my exercise done, and be showered and dressed for the day, in order to be focused for my day at least Monday thru Friday. So, I think I'll make that my first goal - not just exercise everyday, but to go to bed earlier so I can have my exercise done by 8am, sort of a hybrid sleep/exercise goal."
