Hungry Mondays, Week Ten: A Little Rough
January 5th, 2009
Stats:
Last week: 149.75
This week: 149
Nothing too exciting this week and I would have liked to see some more results since I felt like I was working extra hard to get back on track after the holidays. Alas (for those of you keeping track of my menstrual cycle), I kind of knew I wouldn’t lose much this week since I never do during the week leading up to my period. Next week will be better.
I faithfully stuck to my Points and remembered how unfun it is to go bed hungry, instead of having late-night Christmas snacks from the deep freeze. I have discovered the beauty of edamame, however, and it’s a welcome addition to my (often blah) menu. It’s the perfect snack: salty, satisfying and high in protein.
I was a little grumpy this week too as my body was adjusting to the change in diet. Also, I have not slept through the night in SIX MONTHS and am feeling the burn.
I am writing about my weight loss (or lack thereof) journey at Bodies in Motivation and I am wondering if Hungry Mondays should permanently relocate to that site. Are you sick of hearing about my weekly progress here? Would you rather read about it at the other site? Tell me what you want, people!
In case you’re interested, here’s my latest post there.

Thanks for the reminder about edamame. I have some in my freezer and think I’ll have it for a snack today!

I’m not sick of reading about it, but I’d read it if it was here or there. I fact, I’d read it anywhere. (Sorry, channeling Dr. Seuss over here.)
mmm … edamame … my favorite WW snack was cut-up cucumber, tomato, and green/red/orange pepper with salsa on top. NO POINTS. And it’s yummy.

edamame is my boyfriend
I love - LOVE - it
I refuse to believe that it’s good for me - it tastes too good

Don’t take away hungry Mondays! I’m going to be jumping on the band wagon with you and today is my first hungry Monday! If you do relocate though I will hunt you down (not hard to do since you post the link) and I’ll follow you where ever you go!

Personally I like the updates here… it’s hard these days (with a tiny one and a not so tiny one) to keep up with tons of sites. So if I don’t get the chance to get over there, I can hear about it here. And I like the updates. I’m in the same boat - working off the baby weight. And it sort of feels like I’m in it with someone else.

I like reading your Hungry Monday posts here…good job this week! I went back to WW today so I will be right there with you. I’m a lifetime member from years ago and was excited to find out that I don’t have to pay until my new baby is 3 months old…an unexpected treat!

I have been craving edamame ever since we had it the night of the concert.

Love edamame… loove

I love Hungry Mondays! You light up my life! You are the wind beneath my wings! Did you ever know that you’re my hero? Time, Love and Tenderness! Oh, not applicable? Still, feel free to share the joy (and/or pain as it may be) but your honesty keeps me honest as well.

Please keep them here! I love reading about your progress. You’re so humourous when writing about you points, I love it! And I think you’re doing an awesome job :D

My husband loves to snack on edamame too because it’s healthy, yet fills you up! Oh, and I kind of like your Hungry Mondays here.

I really like Hungry Mondays! They keep me motivated, I just had a baby 5 months ago and I’m really working on these last 10 pounds and even 5 more than that would be nice! I look forward to your report every Monday! :)

I love hungry Monday’! Please keep it, pretty please. It gives me inspiration to lose my baby weight as well. I had my baby just a couple weeks before you, so it is good to see what others are going through.
