Sorry I missed a couple of days.....

Things have been so crazy lately that I missed posting a couple of days.  Well I have been doing good.  I have been keeping on track with my healthy eating.  Currently I eat my breakfast, lunch and dinner and a snack in between each.  Ussually the snack will be a fruit, yogurt or carrots (which I love).  I have not weighed myself yet, but I am thinking probably friday I will just to see where I am at.  I have to confess that I have not been on my elliptical all week, but I have gone on walks at work.  I know I should be excercising more and promise to start that back up.  I should have a very interesting weekend since my nephews are coming over.  That will be enough excercise.  LOL

Fell of the wagon.....

So I fell off the healthy eating wagon yesterday.  I had a cheeseburger and fries at work for lunch.  AHHHH... I try to bring my own lunches to work because the cafe there has sooooo much great food......But I hit the eliptical for 30 minutes after work so that should take care of it.  LOL

Not much else is going on, just trying to stay on track. 

Stressed!!!

I have been trying really hard to watch what I eat and to excercise.  I have found that when I am stressed I tend to snack.  It has been really slow at work so that is totally stressing me out.  I rather be extremely busy because I know that I get anxious when I do not have a lot to do.  I think it also has alot to do with me wanting to loose weight.  I know it takes time.  I have seen some results.  My pants are looser and my face is skinnier that it was a couple of months ago but I still don't feel comfortable at this weight and that stresses me out.  Also having a busy schedule does not help.  I will keep to my healthy eating and excercise as much as I can.

I remembered some thing that made me laugh this afternoon.  Someone had given me a Stress Relief Kit.   Here it is:

Thoughts on Excercise

 These are some funny quotes I found on the net about excercise:

• I have to excercise early in the morning before my brain figures out what I am doing.
• Does Running Late count as excercise?
• I Excercise - run my mouth, push my luck and jump to conclusions.
• Excercise.....the poor  person's plastic surgery.
  

And my favorite one:

• I keep trying to loose weight, but it keeps finding me.
  

What are you thoughts on excersise?  I try to excercise whenever possible, but running around after my 4yo is excercise enough for me sometimes.  I know that I should excercise more often but it's hard to find the time to do it.

How To Start My Excercise Routine

So I was wondering how to start my excercise routine.   I think I will start using my elliptical 3 times a week for 25-30 minutes starting tomorrow.  Hopefully it will be like riding a bike. LOL  I had an okay day today, did not do much of anything today.  Had to go to the dreaded dentinst.  Ouch!!

I hope that I stay on track with my excercise.  Having a 4yo does not make it easy to find time to excercise but I am going to try my best to stick to my excercise schedule.  Talking about 4yo.... I have to go give her a bath now.  I'll be back tomorrow.

What Keeps Me Motivated

Well my motivation is that I want to be able to get into this Bathing Suit:

I have not worn a bathing suit in 4 years.  Can you believe it???  I think it is time that I do, so my goal is to purchase this bathing suite and be able to ware it by my birthday August 28.  I hope that I can stay motivated and on track.  There are a lot of other reasons why I want to loose weight but I thought minus well give my self a goal. 

I also joined a support group today, I hope all goes well with that.  I am always very iffy about meeting new people.    Well that is all for today, it was a pretty un eventfull day.  I have a feeling tomorrow will not be that easy.

Getting Started

So here is the deal I have decided to loose some weight from today until my Birthday in August.  I want to loose about 24 punds.  I have been struggling with my weight for 4 years since I had my beautiful daugter.  I went from a size 3 to a size 12, which is a big change for me considering I have always been a small size. 

It really gets me down when I go shopping for clothes and nothing seems to fit right and the clothes that I want to wear I can never find in the right size for me.  I was used to buying Small shirts and have gone to buying XL which is what bugs me the most at this time.  I just want to go down to a weight were I can feel comfortable again in my own skin.

Nevermind wearing a bathing suit, which I have not done in 4 years or shorts for that matter.  I always seem to buy bermuda shorts in the summer.  I tried buying some dresses but I just don't feel good about my body at this time.  I have great friends and a husband that tell me I look great all the time, but I want to feel great and right now I don't.  That is why I have decided to loose some weight. 

I hope that I can do it.  I know I will feel much better about myself once I have accomplished my goal. 

Wish me luck!!!!!
