Ok, so I made it to Day two and that was about it!!!  I had a crazy week and I let it take me over!!  How do you stay on track with eating when  you are running around at work and even after work!?!?  How do you stay focused!?!?  I lost it this week!! But, on a good note, I have not given up and am gonna strive to do better this week.  I have been thinking about this for months and now that the weather is getting colder and I will soon not be able to walk outsdie, I am joining a gym.  I know that i have to schedule exercise into my week cause my schedule changes weekly, but id I am proactive, I can pre schedule my work outs in, like  i do aappointments.  as for wating I want to stay under 1200 cals a day adn make sure I track and log all my food for the day.....we shall see

Day 2

So it is Day two and I need to comment on Day 1....I am paying more attention to when and how I eat and I found some things out yesterday.....I went to the grocery store to get lunch (salad) an groceries and by the tiem I got out of the store I was starving!!!!  So, I need to make sure that i have healthy snacks and such to snack on so I am not filling my mouth with junk!!!!  Also, night time....kills me...I never used to eat at night and in the last few months I have and I know I have to break that bad habit....i am a salt person so i am not eathing sweets at ngiht but more carbs...so i need to wein myself off of eating at night and if i feel i need to eat.....make it healthy...last night was not too bad, i had chips (7) and fresh salsa.....ok now onto today!!  I am pretty proud of myself, i wasnt feeling like walking this morning but i put that out of my mind and just did it and now i feel better for it!   i have to plan tonight because i will not be home for dinner cause i have a meeting so i need to have a good healthy snack before i go and then eat a sensible meal after.....i am goign to eat lunch at home today...yum!

It Has BEGUN....

Well, I work up with a great feeling.  I broke out my new pedometer and went for a walk and ate a sensable breakfast and I have to say I am feeling good....My goals for the week..

1. Move More

2. Use the four "S"s to stay on track

   Stop - eating when I am full

  Size - cut portion sizes

  Slow - eat slower

  Sensible - make better choices

3. Consider joining the gym

4. Track everything I eat!!!!!!

The Beginning...............

I have had it....I keep gaining and gaining and eating and eating and always have an excuse to eat what I want and I am fed up!! I am ready to commit and begin...Begin to feel better, loose weight, be more active and in control of my eating!  I know it will be hard and it will take some change and sacrafice but no pain no gain...adn ultimatley that is what I want...no gain right!?!?  I am going to take it week by week and instead of focusing on loosing the weight by getting on the scale, I am going to focus on eating better-making better  choices-honest better choices, take what I eat and move more, every day.........I need this....I have done every diet and even though they work, they dont last and I have even been on Phentermine and, yes, that worked but it made me crazy and I gained the weight back....I need to do this long term and the right way...the healthy way....Lord I have my work cut out for me....and so it begins............

Weight Watchers Anyone????

I am thinking about joining WW again. 

 I am not really into the meeting thing, but I do liek the online WW and I was wondering if any of you have had any success with WW? 

Which WW program are you on, the points or the Core? 

Do you like it? Is it working?

HELP!!!!

Off Track this Weekend

Well, let me say it again--Weekends are the Worst!!  I actually did really bad this weekend to noones fault but my own.  I want home to my parents house to visit and the home cooking and home make cookies just kicked my butt!!  I had no control this weekend for some reason!!  I could just kick myself!!  

But ya know what, I there is nothing I can do about it now, it is done I overate this weekend, time to move on.  Time to get back opn track!! I am spending my lunch hour every day this week at the gym!! No excuses, the gym!!  I am not eating out or eating any fast food, period!!  Time to get seroius and take control.

The thing that I dont get is that I am a control freak with almost everyting in my life but for some reason, I dont have control over my eating or overeating.  I dont get it.

Lets see what this week will bring...

Weekends R the Worst!!

I really hate weekends, I know it sounds crazy!!

Weekends are so much harder for me to stay on track than during the week.  From the non-scheduled days, to the eating out/In, drinking, parties, adn everything else, I am very strained to stay on track.  Does anyone have any suggestions with staying on track during the weekends and all the events and temptations the weekends bring?

I did mow that lawn this weekend and did some Yard work, which helped burn some cals.  I know that once the cold weather comes it is going to be hard to be active, so I have made a list of indoor projects that need to be done.  This will keep me active during the winter months.

This weekend was OK for me.  I went out with the girls Friday night for dinner, drinks and dancing.  Knowing this I ate really well through out the day on Friday and made smart chioces for the dinner.  I did drink some beer, which I love!!  but I danced it off, I hope!!  The rest of the weekend was so-so for the eating, didnt do really well but I am trying to get better at my weekend behavoirs!!!

Today-Monday I am doing well and keeping on track, I didnt get ot the gym, as planned, but will be making it up tomorrow.  I need to stick with the gym routine to make it a habit!! Esp before the holiday tempations!!  Halloween is not really a problem for me...I am not really into sweets, it is the regular food that gets me....meat, potaoes, pasta and the portion size.

Well off to a good start!!

Weigh in Day

Well, I didnt loose this week but I didnt gain any weigh.  Gotta give credit for consistency.  I have not been very good this week and know I was off track,.

Time to crack down and get seroius!!

Loosing Focus Not Weight

I am in a rut, I worked out twice this week but my eating has bee sporatic and depressing.  I have the desire to loose weight but not the will power.  I really need to re group and refocus but it seems that life just gets in the way.  There is always something that takes my focus off of my weight loss.  I love food and love to eat, will I ever be able to eat what I want, when I want?  Will being thinner really make me happy....well, yes, but at what cost.  I need to really do better planning and sitck to what I plan out for meals. I need to saty away from FF resturants and eat fresh more.  I feel like I am going in 5 different directions with my weight loss and not sure what is working and what isnt. 

I want to do it on my own, I cant afford Jenny Craig and Have doen WW, but I tend to get lazy about the tracking, so I have been trackin gmy food on Extra, trying to keep my Cal in take down, but who knows!?!?! 

Well, I hope to refocus...again this weekend....and get back on track....I really need to be aware of the choices I make in food and stop trying to reason with myself. 

Any advice on what might help? 

Tuesday and still Trying

Well, I went to the gym yesterday and had a great workout.  I watched and tracked my calorie intake and drank plenty of water.  Lets see what today will hold.
