I am finding that my portions are a little on the large side. Not much. Maybe 10% more than they should be. But I think it’s what’s been causing me to not lose over the past few months. At least I sure hope that’s what it is. I’m measuring EVERYTHING now. Just like I first started WW.
I went for a bike ride this morning. Went 10.5 miles. Did it in an hour. Not bad. Not great, but not bad. Earned 8 activity points. Sweet!!
I went walking tonight with my WW walking team. I was afraid it was going to rain, but not a drop in sight. We met at a state park at 7:15 and the park closed at sunset. I was afraid we'd get done walking and come back and our cars would be locked in the park over night. Whew! We got back in plenty of time. Earned another 3 APs. So far, I'm up to 28 APs for the week. Woo hoo!
How about Biggest Loser last night??!! I’m probably in the minority, but I LOVED that Helen won. She started out almost as heavy as I was when I first started WW and she’s my age and she looked amazing! Well, a little on the thin side, but she still looked great. And Jerry!!! Wow!!! 68 years old!!??? And he lost 177 pounds!?! Man, he puts me to shame!
I’ve been having the worst cravings lately. I usually get this way when I’ve been “real strict” for a long period of time. And I have been. Now I’m just trying to push through it without caving in. I know I’m going to, though. I’m craving anything under the sun. Egg salad. Donuts. Chips n dip. Cupcakes. Cake of any kind. Heck, anything with icing on it! Ice cream (which I usually hate). Popcorn. Oh my gosh! I want some popcorn so bad! Bacon. Steak. Anything with gobs of cheese on it or in it. Baked potato loaded with sour cream, cheese and bacon. Okay, I’ll stop. I could go on and on but I won’t. And I know giving myself a “little” taste won’t do it. It’s all or nothing when these cravings sink in. Suffice it to say, I’ve got it bad. Lets just hope I don’t cave.

Down 2 lbs is good, keep up the good work. I have heard 2lbs every week is a good goal. Great job getting a bike ride in. I miss riding a bike.
down two pounds is GREAT...as is your workout.
I know it can feel SLOOOW some weeks but youre headed in the right direction and, to beat that dead horse, fast inevitably means it comes back on.
THANKS FOR LAYING OUT ALL THE BL STUFF IN ONE PLACE!
Miz.
That's a great loss this week :)
Thanks for the BL stats! How great is their loss!!!!
I have been having cravings here too. I think mine is due to my TOM because it is chocolate! I think I would walk a mile to eat a single chocolate chip if I could find one!!!
Hang in there,
Rosemary
Two pounds in a half of a week is awesome my dear! Do not put yourself down. Instead pat yourself on the back!
Hi Cara,
I just found your blog and what an inspiration you are. You look AMAZING!!!
I think 2 pounds in 4 days is really, really good - you're supposed to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week, right? So you're already ahead this week!
I'm adding your blog to my blogroll so I can keep up with you!

Congrats on the loss this week. I know what you mean about the portions. After a critical assesment, I realized that I have been lax lately with measuring some things. Back to basics!
