I just posted my september goals in the 100lbs to lose group. I know I will not be able to keep all of them. If I can consistantly keep up with 1 all month, I will be happy. I don't want to overlaod myself with so much stuff that I get frustrated, so if I can do 1 this month, then slowly move up to 2 and so on, I will be happy and I, hopefully, will be able to maintain this time. I think I might go back to weight watchers. I lost about half of my goal weight back then, then plan DID work for me, but I swear I must have ADD because I get bored with everything after a while, and I stopped that and now I want to kick myself because of it. I could have been at my goal weight years back, and maybe would have maintained it, but instead of that, I stopped, gained all the weight back plus 10 pounds! ARGH! The only reason I haven't joined yet is because of the money. It adds up going to the meetings every week...BUT you've got to take the good with the bad. Plus I think my job offers a discount on the meetings, its worth a shot if it worked back then for me.
Good luck to me with my goals, and to everyone else who has set goals for themselves this month.
I was doing pretty well all day today, till dessert! Rather than NOT having any dessert, or having like a little scoop of ice cream, I filled a bowl! I can't expect miracles over night, and the fact that I watched what I ate and told myself no to everything but the ice cream today is a good start! I usually come home from work and snack on junk food, today I had broccoli and toast. Better than chips, so I'll count this as a positive move.
I just got home from a beach wedding. It was an awesome time, and I had a great time, but I wasn't happy at all with the way my dress looked on me. It rolled up on the sides and left a bunch at the back. I was worried about it all night and couldn't stop thinking about it! It's time I do something about this weight for good! I am not happy with it, it does nothing for me...but I can't seem to stick with any diets or anything! It's getting so frustrating to me. I know I can't wake up tomorrow and be skinny, but I just want to wake up tomorrow and have a different view mentally with everything. Its like I KNOW what needs to be done, but I just can't seem to figure out how to stick with it! I seem to just give up! I love food, and that's what makes it so hard. I don't want to miss out on anything. I need to just get it in my head that this is going to be best for me and that I will be so much happier if I get over the bumps along the way.
Only with blogging! Im still keeping up with my exercise and all that. Ive been so busy that I havent felt in the mood to type. Ive been pretty good this week. I went out to dinner the other night and ordered my "usual" but only ate half of it, and had the other half for lunch today! Im pretty proud of myself for that! I used to eat the whole thing AND order dessert. I even said no to dessert! And its 'that time of the month" so Im even more impressed with myself for that one! Im still pretty sure Im up about a pound, Im not too worried. Im bloated and feel like Im retaining about a gallon of water! Next week ill be back to normal. Im kinda craving my usual chocolate/peanut butter. But im not INHALING them like I would have. I have a chocolate pudding (fat free) as a snack, and either peanut butter crackers or a few peanut butter filled pretzels and im good. Tomorrow I will know for sure, but I wouldnt be upset or shocked if I were a pound up. Tomorrows another day and the start of a new week, so I will go from there and continue on my journey to a skinner and healthier me!
Well this week I lost 4 pounds (so thats the 2 i gained last week plus another 2). Im pretty excited about it. I felt better about it than last week. I just have to keep my positive attitude up and keep reminding myself why im doing this, and I know ill make it. Im more comfortable with watching what im eating and all that, its getting easier. ever exercise im starting to get more comfortable with! I never thought THAT would happen!
Im still going, I havent given up. Last week was a bad week for me (personal stuff), but its in the past so Im not going to dwell on any of that. I did gain 2 pounds, but im working this week on getting rid of them. My head is a little clearer and Im able to pay more attention to things and focus (I swear sometimes I think I have ADD I just lost focus ALL the time).
Tuesday is my moms birthday (my brothers is monday) and we are all going out to dinner. Heres where I always have issues! We are going to California Pizza Kitchen. I have never had anything from there, but I have tried some of their frozen pizzas, they are good! I dont want to get a salad or anything like that, I want a pizza, at least a slice. I guess I will have to watch my points and exercise lots this week to make sure I dont gain. I dont even know points wise or anything about their food. So I guess I'll just have to guess. Plus for birthdays you know everyone always has to have cake. They arent getting cake, just dessert at the restaurant, so maybe i just wont get anything. That, too, will be hard for me to say no to, I love sweets! Oh well, I would say i could have 1 cheat day, but I already had that this week, so I have to have good days the rest of the week. Im just not going to stress the little things anymore. I will do what I can every week, a pound or 2, either way is ok. Hopefully less, not more. Thanks again to everyone for "listening" to me.
I had 2 slip up days back to back, that ive been trying to recover from the past 3 days. Im not sure if ive lost any weight this week, I actually think I might have gained some. Which sucks! I totally slacked on everything sunday and monday, and since I weigh in tomorrow, Im pretty sure Im not going to have a good result. I knew as soon as I went back to work I was going to have problems sticking with this. I have support from my friends and family, so i know i CAN do it, but I think my mind is sleeping and isnt paying any attention to what needs to be done. As usual I started so motivated, now Im getting over it. I have to change my mindset so I can overcome this set back. I know it took me a long time to get to this point, so i cant expect a miracle and have my mind and body used to this over night. mentally, I get all that, but i dont know if the rest of me is ready to get it. oh well, tomorrow is another day and the start of another week for me, so good result or not, im gonna start fresh tomorrow.
ARE GONE! Wohoo! I lost 4.5 pounds!!! Ok, so I know you usually lose about that much the first week or so, but still its 4.5 pounds either way you lood at it!
I went back to work yesterday after being off for just about a week. And thats the same time ive been doing my lifestyle change. It was hard sticking with it the past 2 days at work. I managed to stick within my points the past 2 days, which im shocked about to be honest. I changed my WI day, it was saturday, but fridays are easier for me so I will find out tomorrow how I really did. Its been kind of hectic the past few days so Im kind of scared, I dont feel like Ive lost anything at all. Ive been exercising 1 way or another every day, even if its just walking around the block for 20-30 minutes, its more than I was doing 2 weeks ago. Even if i havent lost any weight this week, I have still gained the motivation to get up and go!
Well, just as i expected, I went way over my WW points today. I went 10 over!!! I knew I shouldnt have, but it was hard with everything that was being served. I have been really good since I started, so Im not going to beat myself up over this (especially since I knew it was going to happen). Im going to work out for a little while. I actually used my Gazelle for 30 minutes (straight)yesterday, I went 2 miles. Im going to keep track and see how fast I can do 2 miles. Its pretty easy for me to do the gazelle, I just watch tv or a movie and usually dont know how long ive done it for...i just have to get my speed up to burn off more calories.
