I've been doing ok. Not consitent but ok. I havent checked the scales though so it's just personal judgement on what I know I'm capable of. I have lied though. I said I was going to stick to my plan but some things have happened.... my mom bought a body bugg and I FELL IN LOVE. How awesome for something to tell you just how much more activity you need. I get mine today in the mail and I cant wait and it only took three days to get it. So I will be changing my diet just once more. Hopefully ya'll can understand. So yeah these past two weeks have been really hard. Lots of cakes from publix. Our neighbors even brought a cheesecake for Anna Beth's birthday so I thought that was so sweet. Lots of eating out.And I have one more weekend of it before it's done. I also have to figure out how I'm going to be active down here. My mom is 64 and she has to burn 2,000 and then some a day. Although... this counts your sleep, when you sit down and I guess when your on the computer.
Life is ok. I finally started going to this mommy meetup group which is nice. They have mom nights only and stuff like that but I havent gone to any of those. When I did go to the park though it made me feel 50 times better. I'm still trying to figure out who I am again because I have no clue since I tried making everyone else happy for so long. Anna Beth started the big girl bed and it went totally different than I thought. She hates it... but she doesnt get out of it! We tell her good night and she just screams bloody murder but she doesnt ever try to just get off the bed or play with her kitchen and toys in the middle of the night. It totally floored me. So that's different. Potty training will start soon too. You know it feels kind of good to be as busy as I've been latley. But baby is up so I must go. Talk to ya'll later
Sorry I've been non-exsistent. These past few weeks have been really crazy for me lots of cake and eating out because my DD's and DH's birthday are umm... two days apart. But we celebrate it with like five different groups of people.So I havent been doing that great but I will try to get back on here tonight to do some catching up. Sorry ya'll.
If it's not one thing with EP it's another. I've tried writing a few times and I dont know if it's the computer I was using or what but I couldnt comment anyone and I couldnt write a post. I dunno.. it was very frusterating though. Before I start writing about weight loss I do want to add a picture from the family photo shoot. I havent recieved them yet but the photographer did send me a few.
That's my two year old.. well close enough anyways. Ok.. so I created a blogspot.com page to take the place of a journal. So sometime ya'll might get a copy and paste article from it because sometimes a conversation to myself works so much better than just random chit chat. So first step for me is this. Figure out which diet I'm actually on. I've been flip-flopping through diets the past few weeks because well.. I didnt know which one would work better. I usually switch between calorie counting and wendi's plan(ww). So after much consideration and some bingeing.. I've decided this. No matter what I choose.. if I stick to a diet it's going to work. I think all of these diets created work.. it's all about sticking to them. Why it took me this long to think of that.. well I dont know but that's not what matters. So my conclusion is this. I like how Wendi's alternates points per day. But I find calorie counting much much easier. So I figured out how many calories I should be eating per point day. And this is what I'm going to follow.
Monday- 1300 calories
Tuesday- 1200 calories
Wensday- 1100 calories
Thursday- 1350 calories
Friday- 1150 calories
Saturday- 1850 calories (SHD)
Sunday- 1100 calories
So that's what my week will look like. Also I've been trying to figure out how much working out I should do per week to see a change as well. And from various websites I've figured that I should be burning at least 760 calories in activity which is a 2 hour workout at the gym with me so no stress there. My official weigh in will be every Saturday morning. But for a month starting tommorow I will not weigh in at all. I need to get back on track and focus on what I'm doing. This has worked well for me before because I wasnt constantly worried about what the scale would read in the morning. On low days I will allow myself to eat whatever calories I burned because I need to keep my body healthy but on high days unless I'm extreemly hungry I will not be eating the calories I burned. So that's it. That's my plan. Now that I have that done I plan to have an easier time staying on track. I really am starting to believe that it's all about sticking to one diet more rather than finding "the right diet". I think the right diet is just what we find easier for ourselves. But that it for now. I'm going to try to check up on every one before my bed time.
But not very well. *Sigh* I'll get this. It'll work... but when.. how much longer does this have to take before it clicks. Been somewhat busy. I will be back on board with blogging soon. But until then do better than me and I'll write you soon.
Ok... so I had a totally horrible past two days. Infact I indulged so much last night that I felt sick to my stomach. The scales showed that too. Yuck Yuck. So last night I just wanted to cry and kept asking myself why am I sabatoging myself. And while I still dont know the answer to that question... I promised myself that I would let me get in the way anymore. It's way overdue and I'm tired of just thinking about it. Even though I still have a ways to go 20lbs is still a great acommplishment... well I guess it's not 20 right now but that will change. So counting everything. Even my tea. I dont drink a lot of it so I usually dont count it. But it can only help me. I'm still anticipating my family pictures. I always take bad pictures. This lady was nice enough to tell me when my hair was in the wrong place and what not so we will see. I'll be back on later girls. Need to get going for now though. Btw.. any good tips to waking up early. I want to soooo bad but it seems like my body just wont let me. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
So I finally weighed in today. I was meant to do it yesterday but the photo shoot was really early. And I'm to scared to check the scale any time after I start eating. But anyhoo, it was a 4lb gain from when I left the nutrition bootcamp. So I got really close to my five pound cut off. I'm ok with 4lbs.. I'm not thrilled but I'm ok. So that means I'm back on Weigh Watchers and ready to get back at it to complete the rest of this journey. I think I'm probably going to copy Gwynn's idea of putting the daily weight on my posts. I think it will keep me grounded. Let me know if I'm stepping on any toes.Extrapounds finally started going faster which is good. But from some of the complaints I've read it sounds like they still have more work ahead of them. It's Saturday which means TBL comes on in 3 more days whooo hoo. Yes.. I'm pathetic enough to countdown. I like the seasons t.v. schedule all my favorite shows are spread out this year so it's not such a hassle trying to figure out what I'm going to record because DH has his programs too.But anyways.. that's it for now. Off to do wii fit.
So I was a little dissapointed in TBL last night. I mean I liked how they show'd the people's "real age" and what their lungs look like with extra fat on them. But I really liked the green team.... They just looked like one of those couples where you'd just love to have their romance and caring ways about them. I like the brown team ( I think) too but I'm sure time will change my mind once we get to know them a little better. And their losses were outstanding. That's the only thing I dont like about the show. Is they make a 9lb loss look horrible compared to a 19lb loss. Not on purpose ..I know.. but still. I'd like to have a 9lb loss. Other than that.. been really busy still havent got caught up but I am GETTING there. Which is closer than I've ever been. I also havent faced the scale yet. I plan on doing that on Friday. We take family pictures and Anna Beth's 2 year pictures also on Friday. I'm uber excited! As far as EP.. I like the changes. Yes.. it's extreemly sloooww but considering they changed this overnight I'm sure they still have a lot of kinks to work out. I actually find it easier. It does need to get a little quicker though. But I have faith. That's it.. for now. I'm going to bed these past days I've been so exhausted. I cant wait to get caught up with you girls real soon though. Until then keep at it and we'll get there.
Biggest loser is on tonight. And to be quite frank this is what I've been looking forward to since.. well since it ended. Is it sad that I love that show so much? And then I start thinking... what's going to happen when they no longer run the show... or gasp, switch trainers. I'm excited to see the host (having a brain fart) through the proccess of her pregnancy on the show too. I love babies. As far as me, I'll be back on later. Need to run some errands. But just wanted to say I'm not starting the same pattern again. I've been busy deleting all my old messages from my myspace page. I have a bad habbit with reading them and then never replying or deleting them. I figure a good head start to this process is by de-cluttering my life. But like I said I'll be back on later. Hope ya'll have a good day.
So I've taken a few days to think about how I want to approach everything. And thanks to Tatumsmom because she had a lot to do with it. I dont do good with deadlines and times. While I still need to be better with times for organization reasons(not being at places, because I'm always 10 minutes early.. I blame that on my navy dad). I need a plan... I get so stressed because I never had plan. So I still need to work on that. But as far as weight... day by day. I set my tracker for August 13..I think? which means I would have to lose less than a lb a week to get to my goal.Although I dont like thinking about my weight taking that long to come off. It will ease my mind of stressing about it taking it all of so soon. I was also thinking about how I stayed so skinny in highschool. Now a lot of it had to do with sports but the other part is because I was always doing something. Not sitting at home all day.Sooooo.. event though I will be using more gas I think I'm going to start taking Anna Beth to the park and doing stuff with her more often. I'm going to start coming on here religiously because you girls keep me grounded and encourage me. And most importantly I'm going to work on changing my negative thinking into positive. So thats that. Thats where I'm at so expect to see my mouth running on and on again.
Been kind of furstrated latley. The nutrition bootcamp is over. I lost 17lbs in 8 weeks. Now I know some of you might think I should just keep with that diet and start over but I am sooooo sick of eating protein. I've eaten the same food for eight weeks and the thought of the same food again makes me naseous. I actually started eating a lot less the last two weeks because it made me so naseous. So back to the Wendi's plan. I'm not going to make my goal of 67lbs by November 17th. It was a stretch to begin with but still a little dissapointed. But that's not really what I'm having a hard time with. I have a really hard time with expressing my feelings. I'm pretty much a cry baby. It's a lot easier for me to cry when I'm frusterated, sad, or angry rather than to try to explain how I'm feeling. I feel guilty for being frustrated with my daughter all the time when most mom would love to spend all day. I keep thinking whats wrong with me? Or getting organized and making a schedule. Why is that such a complicated thing for me to do? Or most importantly, the thing that absolutley takes all my train of thought. Why I let everyone else get what they want and I guilt myself into paying a bill off instead of getting something I really want. The spa day thing was the first time I've done anything for myself and I'm still punishing myself for paying money on that instead of paying some of my bills off. I dont know how to get out of these thoughts. They constantly plague me and I want them to just go away. I better go for now. Making another round of my "organized" schedule tommorow morning which consists of me waking up extra early. Oh so 4ish. But if I ever get my schedule on point maybe I can finally start being a better friend on here and making time for ya'll.
So yeah these past two weeks have been really hard. Lots of cakes from publix. Our neighbors even brought a cheesecake for Anna Beth's birthday so I thought that was so sweet. Lots of eating out.And I have one more weekend of it before it's done. I also have to figure out how I'm going to be active down here. My mom is 64 and she has to burn 2,000 and then some a day.
