OK, I am feeling pretty lame. Still not getting my posts to show up!

I missed my weight goal this week, so am VERY motivated. I know I have a solid workout routine, so it's not that. Must be my diet slip-ups. A bit of chocolate here, a loaf of bread there. So . . .

Diet:
Keep intake under 1600 calories (already missed this today)
Begin drinking water/tea

Exercise (already a routine)
1. Spin Classes (2 intense, others easy to moderate)
2. Weekly yoga/pilates
3. Weight lifting 2X
4. Zumba and tennis for fun!

Good luck to everyone!

Had one of those dizzy migraines all day. I hate that I let it get in the way of exercise, but it is what it is. We are home with snow/ice again tomorrow, so if I feel better, I'll double up. Hope you all had a good day!

We 2 of accountability
Age: 38
Height 5'6"
Weight 1/1/11: 158 - heaviest ever!!! Heavier than when I was 40 weeks pregnant!
Weight 1/9/2011: 155 - I didn't believe it at first but the scale at Ikea confirmed our own. Don't expect this much loss each week but yay!!
Goal weight: 130 (with lots of muscle!)
This week's goals, last week's successes/struggles noted.
1. 64 oz. of water- Yes, probably more counting the herbal tea each evening.
2. Get moving 30 minutes of cardio heart raising activities per day - Made 6 days, only missed Friday, which is like a miracle for me. Was closer to an hour each day but keeping same goal.
Not so much yesterday, so guess I already used up my 'day off' allowance.
3. Log Everything I put in my mouth, no fibbing to myself. Yes, seems to take so much time though especially when it's not food I prepared myself!
4. Burn 620 calories more per day than I eat (easier than a limit on calories) Yes last week, not great yesterday but not as bad as I feared, was at about 1,900 due to my weakness for dairy and really feeling sorry for myself.
5. Meet RDA goals for nutrients - No, having a hard time with iron, I know....multivitamin.... anyone have a multivitamin easy on the stomach? EVERY time I take one I get really nauseous for like an hour, and this is even being extra sure to take on a full stomach with water or milk. Have tried about 4 brands so far.
Energy level is way up. However, experiencing severe mood swings, which aren't normal for me. Not PMS time for me either.
