Saturday, December 1, 2007 00:03:07

Just a real quick post b/c I'm short on time....I said NO last night to Krispy Kreme! We bought a dozen on our way home. The kids and hubby had some. I had none! Yay for me...! It was so hard. The members of KKA would be proud of me lol. There was a day I could eat 9 or more a day. And I couldnt stop. Whewww! Those days are long gone!

Slowly but surely

Wednesday, November 1, 2006 21:00:16

So I have lost four pounds in about two weeks. I dont guess that is too bad. I was hoping to lose faster, but considering Christmas..I will deal with it. It has been hard for me to get back into a healthy eating routine. I am working very hard on that. Well...I hope the next time I post, in a couple weeks..I'll be down more lol!

Help!

Wednesday, November 1, 2006 22:04:00

Why is Christmas like this? Food, food, food and more food. It's like a set up to gain 20 lbs. I am afraid to have a day of eating whatever I want. I can't do it. I just have to get through to the first of the year....help!

Failure?? No way!

Wednesday, November 1, 2006 23:06:09

So I haven't logged into this account in forever. I actually had password/username problems lol. Figured that out today...well, I am up in weight. Over the last month I have crept up there. This is just a reminder to me how very easy it is to put weight back on. Reviewing what causes my weight gain has been food choices and quanities. I am changing the best I can. I am back. So, I have extra to take off now. I am still not a failure. No way!

Three workouts today!

Friday, December 8, 2006 23:04:00

It is true. I went to the Y this morning and worked out soooo hard. After my shower and lunch my husband and I took a long hike up the mountain. It felt so great. Well later in the day we ended up taking the family out to eat, Mexican. I know it's not so good for me, but I have it like once a month. I felt like I cheated so bad so later this evening I took a very long jog. Surely the exercise I had today made up for my bad eating? I know I cant do this everyday but it was nice to eat "bad" for a day.....if that makes any sense. Comments(3)

If I breath too deep I may gain a pound...

Friday, December 8, 2006 23:02:15

I was so happy to weigh this morning and see the scales down a pound! This last month has been sooo slow as far as the weight loss goes. But as far as the title of this blog, I feel like if I take a deep breath I am going to gain it back lol. I know that sounds sooo silly. Honestly, though, when I get on the scales I like to let all my breath out. I am anxious to get to my goal weight of 140. I am hoping that a slow loss will make it more likely to stay off!

Sorry If I havent posted on your blogs lately. It is so hectic around here with four kids...I hope you all understand and I will get to them asap! much love...

Plateau?

Saturday, December 9, 2006 00:02:17

I must be at a plateau with my weight loss. I know it's good not to gain. But, I am working so hard to lose. So what do I do to get over this? Change my workout routine? My eating habits? Anybody know? I am so afraid to step on the scales in the morning and weigh the same or more. Comments(5)

I feel pretty

Thursday, December 7, 2006 22:08:14

Yeah, that's right. I feel pretty. It is good to be in my skin. OMG what a difference a few pounds make. I never imagined feeling this good again. I thought I was too old to feel like this. I still have a ways to go, but I am feeling accomplished and "pretty". It's a good thing. Comments(2)

Taking the habits with me to the beach

Thursday, December 7, 2006 23:07:14

We are leaving for the beach Sunday morning, after my jog of course lol. My Sunday morning jogs are one of the best parts of the week for me. I am so excited about vacation. Time to get away from the house. Time for my husband to get away from Lowes. It is his work and a lot of his life. It will be good for the both of us. I so enjoy taking my sneakers and jogging on the beach early in the morning. I get up before the kids and head out. It is invigorating. The breeze, the sounds of the ocean, the smell. Time to workout my body, relax my mind. I can't think of a time in my life that I have been happier with me. I know who I am. I know what I want out of life. I want to achieve things I never thought possible. I am considering entering in a biathalon soon. I will have to train. Im not doing it to win, but just to say I did it!

I am thinking back to times when I was much bigger. I knew being smaller felt good, but had forgotten how good. I love me. I love how I can buy clothes and not worry if they will "make me look fat". Last thing for today: For those of you out there that have a ways to go to your goal, dont look back. Keep on. It is so rewarding when you feel content, happy with your body. Whatever the size that is right for each of us.

Work out and eat anything you want!

Thursday, December 7, 2006 23:06:13

So, this is my second post of the day. I just had the thought. When I started working out six and a half years ago, I did wonderful. I ate healthy, worked out my hardest, got down to 143. Well as the years passed I contined my workout because I love it so much. I am an addict. I have been going strong to the Y for all this time. So...you must wonder, why the gain. Well in my mind I thought, I can eat whatever I want b/c I am working out. SO not the case. Do not be fooled. I slowly gained up to 165 lbs while doing workouts that were an hour or more long 5 days a week! This time I am on the right track. I know I must eat healthy AND exercise. Not one or the other. I will not get that mentallity of eat what I want b/c I am working out again. Comments(3)
