I'm back...

So I've been out of town and then my family came to visit, and they FINALLY left today!  I am happy to report that I've been sticking with it lately.  The past few days I've really kicked it into high gear.  I decided to go back to kickboxing cuz that's the workout that works best for me, and I really enjoy it...even though it's really tough.  I've gone the past few days, and let's just say that I am beyond sore!  I don't know if I'll be able to get out of bed tomorrow!

My eating has been off and on the past few weeks, but I've been much more on this week.  I'm in that wedding in about five weeks now.  So I'm trying to really watch my points.  The thing I've been struggling with the most this time around is journaling.  I've never had a problem with that before.  So today was my first day actually journaling every single bite I ate.  It feels nice to actually KNOW if I'm in points instead of guessing.

Hope everyone's doing well.  I'll check in with ya...

One day

Well, I am ecstatic to report that yesterday I had a FULL day on program finally.  I stayed in points.  I did go for a short walk, but Tobias got me sick so I couldn't do anything really physical.  But I just feel great to be back in it.

Today we're headed to Bismarck for the marathon.  I just want to keep the momentum going and stick with it this weekend.  Weight this morning was down 3 pounds.  I think my body is in shock cuz it hasn't had such healthy stuff in a while!  I felt hungry a bit yesterday, but I think it's just cuz I've been eating so darn much the past month or two.

So this weekends plan:

- track all my points

- get some exercise in

- nothing is THAT worth it

- don't give in to "peer" pressure

- positive mindset

TBL

So the Biggest Loser returned last night!  I just love that show.  When they were showing the contestants their organs with the fat covering them and their "actual" age, I just knew that mine would be the same or worse.  It really got me thinking about my insides. I am always so worried about my fat on the outside.  I never consider what is going on inside.  I have high blood pressure now (pregnancy-induced hypertension that's stuck with me).  I'm sure my cholesterol and triglycerides aren't wonderful.  But the fat in my stomach.........that's bad news.

I really need to do this for my health.  I say that all the time, but do I actually know what I'm saying?  My health inside my body!

Today after Tobias wakes up we're going for a walk.  I also plan to do a P90X video tonight after knitting group.  Yes, I'm in knitting group now!!!

So far today I've had cereal w/ milk and black coffee.  I'm still hungry...not sure what I'm gonna have for lunch yet.  Dinner is gonna be broccoli and cheese casserole.

Have a good one.

Back to the beginning...

So I got an email that there have been some changes to ExtraPounds.....and I guess it got me to thinking about how I need a fresh start.  I've been on ExtraPounds for a couple years now...gaining and losing the same 40 pounds.  I had a baby nine months ago.  I lost about 45 pounds since having him...but in the past few months I've gone up 10 pounds.  I've just really struggled with wanting to journal and wanting to exercise and wanting to stay in points.

So I'm starting fresh.  I deleted all my prior posts.  I added new pics.  I'm starting fresh.  One day at a time.  I'm counting points right now....
