So How was your Weekend???
Well, another weekend gone by. They seem to go by way to quickly!
Food was not the best on the weekend but I am always a little more relaxed on the weekend and pretty strict during the week.
I wish the work weeks were not 5 days long... The weekends are just too short! I love having time to relax with my family but there just does not seem to be enough time.
Oh well, back at it today!

Thursdays Ramblings & Diet Myths Exposed
Geez I can't wait for the weekend!! I was watching City News Last night and they had an story about dieting myths.
Here are some of them
Eating After 8pm causes you to gain weight ~ false
Skipping Meals helps you lose weight ~ false
Eating Nuts cause you to gain weight ~ false
Drinking water helps you lose weight ~ false
Interesting hugh! I was surprised about the water thing because we are always told it helps you lose weight by drinking water.

Am I over it???
Think I am and I don't know why????
I used to be addicted to watching The Biggest Loser and found so much inspiration in it with Real People losing Real weight the good old fashioned way. Lately I have found I have not been watching it at all. I have not idea who is left or what is going on?
What happened??
I have come to realize that although yes they are "real" people losing weight the old fashioned way they really are not.... They are not in a real life situation so it is no wonder they are losing 10, 15 pounds in a week. If we all had the advantages of having a full gym, 6 hours a day to work out and strict diet regimes we would all lose weight like they do.
The reality of it is we live in the real world where we have jobs, family's, kids and of course all of the outside distractions!! This is why it is hard. It has taken me almost a year to lose 20 pounds.
I am in no way "knocking" the show, the participants because I can see how hard they work week after week. I would just like a bit of reality here. I do like how they send the contestants back into the "real world" to see how they cope that is truly reality TV to me.
I am still a fan and will watch episodes again, I always feels inspired after watching it. Especially when they show the person who gets voted off and how they look today after going home.
This race to lose weight is not easy and even now as I sit here typing this sipping on my "light" hot chocolate and "reduced sugar" oatmeal I am wondering when I will see the end of my race.
it will take time I realize this. "All good things come to those who wait"

Oh to Be inspired!
It is so hard to find inspiration and motivation. Although the weight is coming off is is coming off slowly. Better slow then not at all.
It is hard to make changes especially when we are so used to eating what we want when we want!
It is hard to eat the piece of fruit rather than the chocolate bar.
How do we do it? What is the inspiration that keeps you driven? I find a lot of inspiration in my DH these days. His drive and motivation to change his life around and most certainly helped me to stay on the right track. Before in my attempts to lose weight it was so hard because I would be the one eating healthy and we would tempt me with all of the bad! Now that he is on the same page it has become so much easier.
As they say "Slow and steady, wins the race" I can't wait to see the finish line!

Okay I have been Bad!
I have not been keeping my promise to blog everyday like I said I would and for that I am truly sorry. I am going to try to get better at this or find a better system for keeping track of everything. Need to figure it all out!

Wow!! Times a Flying
I cannot believe how fast time is going!! It is already January 23, 2009!!! Holy Cow!!
Things have been so terribly busy for me at work lately I have not had a chance to get on here and blog away. I am trying to be more diligent in this manner so I can hold myself more accountable.
TGIF!

Funny Isn't It??
It was so funny or maybe not. I opened up this old journal I came across over the weekend and although it only had one post it really made me think. The date of this post was January 1, 2005 and of course I "vowed" this was going to be the year I would takle the buldge. Did I? Well no, that fact that I am still here 4 years later can atest to that. Where does it all go wrong?
I wish we could keep this feeling of renewel and hope we have every New Years and keep it going throughout the year. It would be great and I know most of us would stay on track.
I am still finalizing my goals but I will hope to post them tomorrow. I do plan on being much more accountable than I have been in the past!
Good Luck to all as we set out on our journey's to lose weigh and be healthy!!
