It's been a weekend. I'm not weighing myself right now. I will weigh mid-week.

As a side, I'm home with the cat again. Waiting on the vet to call...

[Jittersthe.Clown]

Hope things go well with the cat, Kat.  It looks like you've had an off week, but you can still kick some butt.  We've got your back.  Glad you got some yoga in.

[darkfoxx]

Yikes - down on the points total for the week .. but it's still early; you can totally make it up weeks 3-6! You've got this! 

[Ceasefire]

Kitty still isn't doing very well? :<

 

I think you're still kicking ass. It's early days yet.

[DirtyLittleSecrets]

I totally come here for the GIF's and stay for the challenge. Glad to see you're getting a few payments on the card in there .

[thekatisalie]

Back to the vet today. Got peed on three times. I tell you, you guys don't know what living is!

[Ceasefire]

Can we choose not to know? I mean, I think I'm okay with not knowing. XD

 

So the little guy isn't doing so hot then?

[thekatisalie]

He was partially blocked again. Brought him in and he got so scared he peed on me three times... So bye bye blockage. More pain meds and other bladder spasm meds. Ugh. I just want his little guy to feel better. It is really making my heart hurt.

[Jittersthe.Clown]

Hope he gets better soon, Kat.  

[thekatisalie]

Main Goal: Lose 5 pounds.

I just... don't wanna.
 

Goal 1: Get back to meal planning and clean eating.

I did well until the traditional Monday night tacos. Staying home meant I had to make my own meals, which helped me out. That is 2 points for Monday.
 

1 point per planned meal. -1 point for quick options like eating out or vending machine snacks. (126 max points)
 

Goal 2: Run. Train. Lift. Do.

This week will be hard. It's Thanksgiving, and I'll be working around Thanksgiving hours at the gym and a sick cat that needs vet attention at the drop of a hat. I may let myself count other activities because of this week. Like raking our yard. Damn 8 oak trees. Nothing so fat this week, but plans for yoga or raking (sun allowing) tonight.
 

1 point per gym visit. 1 extra point for extra visits. -1 point for each day of the required 3 missed per week. (18 max points, plus extra credit)
 

Life Quest: Get that damned credit card under control and start moving on.
I haven't used it. I haven't paid. But I am going to have to use it this week. We need plane tickets for our vacation, and hubby has been using his enough for kitty bills. With the vacation less than a month and a half away, I'm just going to have to suck it up and use it and promise to use any (if we get one this year) bonus at year end to repay that.

 

1 point per payment. -1 point per use of card. (12 max points)
 

Side Quest: Meditate. Journal.

Not last night.

1 point per meditation. 3 points available per week. (18 max points)
 

Goal 3: Track in My Fitness Pal every day.
Yes! Just closing the day right now. +1 points.
 

1 point per day tracked. -1 point per day not tracked. (42 max points)

WEEK THREE:

[Jittersthe.Clown]

Keep at it Kat.  You've been thrown some obstacles, but you can hop over them and kick them in the face as you pass over.  Do it, you'll feel better and we won't judge.  You've got this!

[darkfoxx]

Just keep plugging away and you'll reach your goals. This is one of those weeks that is going to be hard for everyone to keep on track - but remember: you are the one in charge. Not a holiday - nothing terrible is going to happen to you or those you love if you keep your progress moving during the holiday instead of using it as an excuse to continue the status quo. 

 

You can do this and stay on track! 

[Ceasefire]

You'll kick week 3's ass.

 

WE BELIEVE IN YOU.

[thekatisalie]

More cat. More vet. More pain. No real reason. Poor buddy just isn't getting much better. We had him checked before the long weekend and they said his bladder was empty. Doesn't mean he isn't hurting from passing crystals... Still watch dogging him... *sigh* we locked him in our room last night so we could tell if he peed and he curled up between my legs all night. We love that little guy.

On the food front, I thought yesterday was bad, but after tracking it all, it wasn't terrible. Today is starting off well. Protein and vitamins for breakfast, we will have a light lunch and then out Thanksgiving meal is actually not too terrible... Unless you count the three cheese Mac n cheese I am making...

[thekatisalie]

With few updates and little time, you just have to trust me:

 

WEEK ONE: 33/36 points.

WEEK TWO: 19/36 points.
WEEK THREE: 20/36

 

On to week 4.

[Jittersthe.Clown]

A point better the the week before.  PROGRESS!  Way to go Kat.  Keep kicking so much butt

[thekatisalie]

I plan to kick my own ass for slacking these last two weeks with this week's work outs. Gym EVERY day. I also have Just Dance 2014 now... and I am stoked to sweat my buns off to it at home.

[Ceasefire]

Just remember to listen to your body. =) You got this~

 

What's the Just Dance game like?

[thekatisalie]

It's way harder now with the xbox kinect! I feel like you actually dance more. It's fun, but challenging. I have it for the wii, too. That's less fun, but still a good dance!

 

Also, can we all take a moment and discuss just how uncomfortable it is to ask your boss for a raise? Ughhhhh my insides hurt from all the anxiety.

[Jittersthe.Clown]

I find it easy enough, but I only do it once a year.  The important question is, did you get it?  Here's hoping for you.
