OK! A whole week on the Losing it with Leanne plan, and I'm loving it! I feel good physically, I feel good about what I'm eating, I'm not hungry, and I don't have to think very hard when it comes time to eat! That can be a problem you know, you're a little hungry, you want a snack, you're looking in the pantry and the fridge, nothing looks good unless it's bad for you.... Well, LWL definitely solves that problem!
Weigh in! OK at the end of the day I quick went on the wii just to weigh (more shoveling, so I didn't need to exercise). And I'm down 0.6 of a kg (1 1/3 pounds) and my BMI is down to 26.96 from 27.18. Making progress, that's not too bad for a week. They say it's healthy to lose 1-2 pounds a week, so I'm happy with this. Plus, I'm really at a good place to start with, and I was eating good food mostly (with a few too many treats thrown in... but it was Christmas not that long ago). It's not like I was eating horribly and then lost 5 pounds of water-weight. That's different.
Eating was weird today. Since we're switching back to days, but are totally wiped from 12 hour shifts, we slept in and went to bed early, so I only had breakfast and lunch and two snacks, no supper and no third snack. But that's fine, I was awake for less time and not hungry. But I did drink my water very well! At the end of the day we were watching tv and every time the episode finished, I was getting up to go to the bathroom and re-fill my water bottle. :D
So anyway, thank you for joining me, and I hope I can help you! It really is fun to be a Homemaking Diva!!

Losing It With Leanne Challenge Day 6
January 17th, 2010
Last night shift! YAY!! Wait... that means I have to switch back to days... ouch, that's hard. Switching from days to nights is much easier. Oh well, I'll survive. :D
Let's see... I'm drinking my water! I finished my fourth bottle early and actually drank about a third of the 5th bottle! Wow. That was easy! Leftover shredded beef today...mmmm! Plus I finished the egg salad for lunch, maybe I'll switch to tuna tomorrow.
No wii-ing today again, but shoveling definitely counts as my exercise for the day! Plus I went to the grocery store. I'm not done the stuff I bought for my suppers, but I was out of milk (and you need milk on this plan) and both Kashi and chicken breasts were on sale so.... :D I was a very good girl and I didn't buy any more cream for my coffee even though I'm almost out. I'll switch to milk and see how that goes. Hey, if I can cut sugar out of my coffee, I can handle anything! ;) Because of night shift I got to the store an hour before closing, it was nice and quiet, but they were almost all out of chicken... I only got one club pack... and I was going to get three since they don't go on sale too often... oh well. Days off coming up, so maybe I can go again before the sale ends :D
I really like that I'm cooking 4 portions, then every other day, I don't have to cook! Even though I do like cooking, I'm pretty busy, so it's good.
I can't believe tomorrow is day 7 already! I'll have to do a weigh in and see how I'm doing. (Since I've been doing 'alternative exercising' I haven't weighed myself on the wii for a bit.) I know I do feel a lot better. I'm on a crazy schedule, and I had to get up at 11am (after going to bed at 7am) for a meeting. I was really surprised at how easy that was to do. I don't know if I could have pulled that off before. (And yes, I did go back to bed after the meeting.) It's the end of the day and I felt no side effects from that.
OK people, potty talk! If you don't want to hear about it, you can go read something else now ;) I just want to say that DH and I have only been switching between nights and days for a little over a month, and my body was rebelling. I had some constipation issues a couple of times already, but since starting the Losing It With Leanne plan, I haven't had any problems! In fact, I think I'm getting better quality out than I was before-before (when I was on a normal schedule, but not on the LWL plan). OK, I'm done. No worries, I won't do that often!

Losing It With Leanne Challenge Day 4
On nights I'm having lunch-supper-breakfast because we go to bed right after we eat at the end of our 'day' and I think that's working out well, although it's a little weird having the soup and my coffee at the same time, but that's just being silly. I should set the coffeemaker up the day before and have the coffee with my pre-breakfast.... Hey! I like that idea! I should do that.
Supper tonight was leftover Pork Diane mmm mmmm! DH likes it also, even with the Cilantro-Parsley mix up ;)
I've been OK with my water, drinking about 3 FLYlady (16 ounce) bottles a day but I really should be drinking 4 or more. Shouldn't take to much to pull that off, I just need to make the effort to drink it up! I have my bottle with me most of the time, that's a good start. Plus, me telling you is good motivation for trying harder!
You know what I realized today? The biggest part of my weight problem is portion sizes. Before I started this plan last week, most dinners I'd make close to 4 servings worth for 2 people and we didn't always have leftovers. What I'm discovering now while making myself follow the Losing It With Leanne plan I'm eating less, but I'm not hungry. I work for Leanne, so I know that a meat portion size is about the size of a deck of cards, I've heard her say it and read her writing it many times. But I never followed it. I think I was kind of afraid that if I ate 'normal' portion sizes all the time, it wouldn't be enough for me. But you know what? It is. I'm following the recipes and directions quite closely, and I'm splitting each meal into the correct number of serving sizes and just having one serving and I'm not hungry! Go me!
