DH question

I see alot of people taking on here about their "DH" and "DD"    .....   what exactly does this mean?  Can anyone clue me in?! 

Perfect day =)

I had an awesome day today. Hung out with the fiance, we went down into the metroparks and hiked trails. Actually, we ended up going WAY off the trail, but we had a blast. Walked for hours and it was so fun that I didn't even know that hours passed. He made a comment to me that I "felt" skinnier, hmmm... interesting way to look at it I guess. He was rubbing my back and said that my back felt more defined.  Which is awesome.

We ended up getting ice cream later in the day, but it was my day off, and we had so much fun, nothing could spoil it, and I know it's ok to eat things like that once in awhile.  I had peanut butter brownie ice cream.  Delicious!

I didn't do the treadmill today because of all the hiking we did, but I plan to get back on track tomorrow. 

Hope everyone is having a good week....

5 pounds so far

So... It's been a consecutive 3 days in a row for me with the treadmill. And an hour each time!  Super excited about that. 

Weighed in this morning and I'm down to 177 again. Meaning I lost  5 pounds so far!  Whoohoo!!

Probably going out to  lunch with a friend today, so hoping to make good choices. I'm not sure where we are going yet... but we'll see.

I'll check in later and let you know how i went...

I'm off to do some housecleaning!

Feels like heaven

I feel wondeful today!  Did another hour on the treadmill last night, and starting again with the fruit.    

I was wondering if anyone else feels this way...       after getting done exercising, when I take a shower... it's the most refreshing feeling I've ever had in my entire life.. more than anything.  It's bliss. It's like I just got back from a hawaii vacation!!  Anyone else feel this good afterword?  Maybe I'm just strange... lol.

Biggest loser starts up again Sept 16th. I'm sooo excited!   It's such a motivation to watch.  It's my fav  

Hope everyone is doing well!  

Proud

I'm really proud of me for walking an hour on the treadmill last night!  It might not seem like a lot, but for me it's a HUGE accomplishment. And I'm not even sore because I really paced myself and didn't push too hard, I went for time instead of speed.

I'm going to try to go for another hour tonight. I figure as long as I move everyday, even if it is just a "stroll" walk, I'll be better off than I was before.

I need to work myself up a little bit before I start shooting for speed...

But I think I'm well on my way...

Yay!!

Just got back from the gym... I successfully did my hour on the treadmill, not easy, but I made it through.  I feel wonderful, It's been a long time since I pushed myself that hard.  I think this is the beginning to a whole lotta walkin...     I'm off to the shower!

walking

So I made a plan that I was going to go down the the gym at my apartment this morning and do an hour on the treadmill.  Well, ended up going to moms house to drop off dvd's... then got home around 1 am. Woke up at 10 am and now I'm too pressed for time to hit the gym.  It's open 24 hours thouh, so when I get home tonight at 10:30 pm I'll do my hour.

Last night I made it a point to walk alot more at work, I kept taking breaks and walking around the parking lot, everyone was looking at me like I was nuts, lol.

I think I'm going to buy a pedometer to track my walking, I think it will motivate me to do more... even when I'm slacking. 

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!    

Focus, Passion, Promise

Had an exeptionally good day today.  Started the day off a little rough, and ended a little rough but I learned a lot.  Food was a problem today, but I had an emotional revolution that I think will help me overcome my addiction to food.  I figured out just what is triggering it, and I will now be working on fixing the underlying problem so I can succeed once and for all.

I realy didn't do so well today with food, but I feel like I made up for it in other aspects of my life.  Weight is like a disease, and food is like pain killer.. making me feel better but not making ME better, I need to get to the root of my problem and correct it. 

Alot of work going to happen here... keep me in your prayers and I'll keep you all posted.   Thanks for all the encouraging words of support and wisdom.   My EP family makes me strong! 

Way off track

So I weighed myself this morning, and I'm way off track. I weighed in at 179.  Meaning I gained 2 pounds.  Time to really kick up the heat, and get moving. I have been struggling the last few days with fruits and veggies, not getting nearly as many as I need.

 I know what I need to do, and I'm not going to let this set me back.  

Today I'm going to exercise for longer, no excuses.  I'm going to try to get at least a half hour of trampolining, and hopefully an evening walk.

I made it through

I made it through last night without pizza. I did however cook  up some pierogies.  I needed something to shut my cravings up, and I figured it was better than pizza.  Still not the best choice, but better.

My legs still hurt from my trampoline, which makes me sad, because it gives me so much joy and now I can't do it because it's so painful.  Ohh well.. I'll give it one more day, I'm sure it will get better.

Other than that... still holding on at 177.  Which is awesome and means that I have lost an even 5 pounds so far.  Not the greatest amount, but it's an accomplishment for me.
