I made the decision to switch over instead of having this be the 2nd behind my default blog. I have gone through and refollowed everyone I did before, and I hope you’ll follow me back! I appreciate the support this community provides!

Next Week: When I will die
I made plans on Saturday to go to Spinning with a friend next week. The conversation started when I saw that she had the class schedule for the gym I want to switch to (since my gym’s hours aren’t great and I’m paying for something I can barely use! Oh yeah, and this other gym is 30$ less a month). We planned to go together sometime so I can try it out and it turned into me going...

Weekend Recap
I laid low this weekend and it was totally awesome. I ended up working for a while on Saturday, but it wasn’t a big deal. I really need to get back on my tracking again. I wrote down everything I ate this weekend, and now that I’m back to a computer, I’m going to input them and see what it is I ate! I think I’m actually low on points (from my rough estimate) which is...
Please ignore the fact that I weighed myself at night 30 min after dinner. I was cursing myself as I did it. But then I was just confused
So apparently I need to rehydrate. I was 215 when I woke up. Then worked & worked out today. *After* I ate dinner I weighed in at 213.8??
I love the feeling of new pants that just *fit*
I bought Greek yogurt for the first time tonight! I got a couple different types, to see what I like… I’m intrigued!

Pre Weekend Weigh-in
This is almost a true weekend for me! I have to work for a bit Saturday morning/early afternoon, but I have that night & Sunday off.
So I’m fronted with challenges of a real weekend!
So here’s how it’s starting :: 214.6
9 more hours, and weekend can commence!

I hate it when people are dumb.
I’ve been in meetings literally all day. I finally got out of talking to people about 30 minutes ago.
I started pulling numbers when I realized how late it was! Then I remembered that the team lunch would be coming back pretty soon and I could get a simple turkey, lettuce, tomato sandwich off of it and add my apple and a touch of peanut butter to it, and it’d be a pretty decent late...

Happy Hour just happened
… with 2 girls that I only see every few months due to schedules. And here’s how it went: 1. I had 2 coors light & then switched and had 2 glasses of water while we sat & talked. 2. We ordered kettle chips & jalepeno poppers. Read it - I had *one* popper & about 6 chips. There were definitely 6 poppers in the basket for the 3 of us and the last one just sat there and...

So I’ve been thinking about this blog and it’s identity, of sorts. I changed the name from 250andCounting, when the numbers were making me uncomfortable, and knowing I actually came from a point higher than that.
So I changed the url to itsmorethanjustanumber but it’s just an awkward name, no? I’m not personified at all (not that I want something with my name or anything)...

Okay, seriously it's time to work
Just found out I have to go downtown for a 1pm meeting and pick up some work for my GM since he’s home with his [sick =( ] wife today. So seriously. Get back on track, Sarah!

Tracking
I’ve been awful at tracking lately, but yesterday was a pretty typical good day for me, as far as amount of food consumed. (Fortunately, which has been a lot lately!)
So before I went to bed, I just wrote down everything that I ate during the day so I could track it when I got to a computer at work today.
After doing this (for time sake) I just took the net calories, fat, & fiber...
It's 10:56am
And I’ve officially done very little other than tumble, record measurements, read my dash, and things of that nature.
Seriously, time to get to work!

Measurements
I finally did it! Took me long enough, but last night I buckled down and took my measurements.
Unfortunately I didn’t do this at the beginning, I was a little too scared to do so! When I met with a girl at my gym she took them, and I was at about 245 at that point, so around the 15 lb mark, but still close enough to the “beginning” point. I’m hoping they’re...

Pre Weekend Weigh-in
I’ve been trying to stay off the scale this week (surprisingly hard!) But I weighed in this morning, as a bit of pre-weekend view.
I’ve just been all over the place in the past couple weeks. I’ve seen it all from 215 to 220 (granted the 215 was just once), but it’s frustrating…
So this morning was 217.6. Middle of the road, I’ll totally take it.
Ice Skating
After putting on the Employee Appreciation Party last night, the committee members had the opportunity to skate on the ice too (still had the Stanley Cup logos on it and all).
I haven’t been ice skating since winter of 2008, before graduation, sometime at Lynah and I just remember it being awful. My feet hurt and I just felt awkward. I used to love skating, and be pretty good at it. I...
I grabbed a bag of Sun Chips
from the Main Kitchen after I filled up my water bottle before sitting down for a stream of online trainings.
The blue bag - the yummy ones!
I opened them, had 3, and knew I had to throw them away. The salt level was enough that I’d eat the whole bag and then go find something new. I just had a salad, so I’m not actually hungry.
Don’t eat when you’re not hungry.

Mind Set
I know I say this a lot, but it is crazy to just think about how my mind set has changed. I didn’t really think I had a “fat” mindset before, but I guess it’s because I was fat and didn’t think I could do anything about it. That’s just how it was.
But thinking about this week, about how I feel like though it was better exercise than others in this past month of...

Gearing for the Weekend
I’m back in “normal” hours for a little bit, at least a couple weeks.
I had May 2nd off (first day since April 4th!!) and took it as an opportunity to get back into gear. Getting ready for this weekend, I’m recapping my mild attempt at fitness this week:
Sun, May 2nd :: (1) Walked about (according to Google Map recap) 5.5 miles. Was going to take a page out of the C25k...

Ryah, This reminded me of you!
Do I want this bad enough?
biggirlnomore:
I want to lose weight so bad. Getting to my goal weight is going to be the most amazing day/month whatever of my life. Being comfortable is going to be the best day of my life.. but am I sacrificing my life now? no.. does this mean I don’t want it bad enough?
A lot of people will restrict themselves so badly when it comes to dieting.. and I’m not. I will eat my popcorn if I want...
It's 6:19p
And I’m still stuck at work. A dude came at 3:15 to fix a freezer I called in on April 6th and has been drama ever since.
When he asked what time I usually leave and when I said 5, he said he may not be done by then. I checked on him at 5:45 and he was putting things away waiting for the freezer to get down to temp.
But I’m hungry! I didn’t really bring a snack today, though I...

Good luck w your 5k today!!

Warning :: TMI
I’ve had an iced skinny venti latte and I’m almost done with my 2nd water bottle of the day.
It’s 1030a and I’ve peed four times already. Seriously, I’m never going to get any work done with this many trips to the bathroom
eTools vs. My Plate
I am on the Weight Watchers program, and have all the eTools, but since I inputted my binge day on MyPlate, I’m tempted to use it again.
There is a bigger database of foods and values for everyday eating. I still do like the point system, but it’s interesting to see the rest of the values, like what’s high in sodium or carbs that I’m not counting with Points.
People who...
This is for me
Since I’ve been drowned in work for all of April, and prepping for Opening Day for the last half of March, I haven’t had much of a social life, like at all.
Even though I had to work at 630am this morning, I went to a late movie with some friends that I haven’t seen in a good month & a half. I have missed them.
But it was kind of awesome, as I was walking towards the car...
