What the heck happened?? LOL!
Ok, so I decided to weigh myself on Fridays. I wasn't orginally planning to start today since I only started the whole weight loss thing on Monday but when I saw the scale this morning,I couldn't resist. I LOST 3 LBS!!!!! What a pleasant surprise! I don't know how I'm doing it but I really have a great mind set this time...when I feel like snacking, I just talk myself out of it! I'm drinking more water and am trying to keep my portions down.
I didn't blog yesterday. Had a busy day. The weather is beautiful today so I am going to go outside and walk. We live in the country so there is one road close by that is less traveled that I walk on. I'm actually looking foward to it.Ha!
I hope everyone else had a great week! Keep smiling!!

Whew!
I did it, I walked the treadmill. It's not working quite right,it skips a beat every now and than but I just held on tight and kept going! lol! I only did about 25min but it's a start,I broke a sweat and I always feel something is better than nothing!
It's another quiet day for me here. Just laundry,with 6 people in the house I always have plenty of that. So,it's another day of concentrating on not eating.I think I can get thru it though:) I feel good!

Bored
Just thought I would take a minute to jot a few things down. I tend to eat in the afternoons when I'm done with the laundry and I'm waiting on time for the kids to get home from school. I thought this might be a deversion for me. I'm actually proud of myself...I know it's only day 1 1/2 but I have not strayed from my meals and I have not snacked other than a Kiss or two out of the Easter baskets!
I know I should be exercising more but I pulled my treadmill out this morning, got my ipod and stepped on and about threw myself across the room!
It is off track somehow so I will have to wait untill hubby can fix it for me tonight.Hopefully the sun will make an appearance tomorrow and I can get outside and walk.

Now that wasn't so bad...
I survived the first day of my new journey! Did good last night. I did sneak a kiss or two out of the kids Easter baskets while I was fixing supper. But for me that was great...the day before I had been shoveling candy in as fast as I could unwrap it. So I feel I showed some self control. I need to start exercising again...walking is what works for me. I love to walk outdoors but I also have a treamill. It's rainy again here today so I suppose I should get it out and dust it off! In the past I always walked for an hour outside but on the treadmill I can only do about 20/30min. Why is that? Is it more of an incline? Anyway, 20 min is better than no minutes so after the kids get off to school I will get my ipod and get busy! Promise!

First day...that peep has his eye on me..
So far,so good. Just had a small bowl of cereal for breakfast,no snack before lunch and a small lunch which included fruit. Now if that dang peep would quit staring at me out of my kids Easter baskets I would be doing alot better!
Had 3 glasses of water,trying to drink more. No walking today...it's raining out and my treadmill isn't too appealing to me today.I am working on laundry so I am up and moving around.I'm sure I can make it till dinner without snacking...if I can just make it till bedtime I will be doing ok.The key is keeping busy!

Trying again...
My story starts like so many others. My weight struggle began when I started having kids. I gained alot of weight with each pregnancy and never completely lost it. I'm not good at diets. What works best for me is watching my portions,watching my snacking,drinking lots of water and walking. In the past year or so I had lost 30lbs...only to gain most of it back. So once again I am ready to feel more comfortable with myself,feel more comfortable in my clothes,to be more healthy and to look better for myself and my family. And to this time...keep it off!
! I live on a farm and am active with my kids school and they keep me busy with their sports and activities. I like to read,garden and do crafts.Mostly I just enjoy being with my husband and kids. I'm hoping to find friendship and encouragement here at Extrapounds to help my in my weight loss journey.
