Well I'm back to try again. The good news is that I am down 20 pounds from my stating weight here after ballooning to 255. My goal is to be under 200 by April 27th, my birthday. I think that is doable.
I have been having very bad headaches. Docs don't know what is wrong, it makes it hard to stay motivated.
Well I'm back in the saddle again.
Life can get so impossible at times. The craziness of it all and food becomes the comfort.
I'm back at Jenny Craig, back to my starting weight but already making great process.
Well, I gained back the 0.6 lbs I lost last week. Crap!!
I am tired of eating good, tired of trying to exercise and tired of this weather! I need some warm sunshine and a margarita! And salsa and chips!
OK enough crabbiness. I had the flu over the last 2 weeks and I guess that really doesn't contribute to the mood and the time change has me all messed up.
The past 2 days I have done really good! I more than hit my walking goals.
If only I can keep it up! I need to lose 2 lbs to get out of the 230s!
Well it is official, I AM the average. I am losing about 2 lbs per week. At the end of 5 weeks, I have lost 10lbs so far. Mathematically I should reach my goal by 1/17/2007. That just seems so far away.
I have started some exercise this week and I really proud of myself. I need to do more toning, but a little bit at a time.
The baby gives my NO time to exercise and I really need to do it, just for my sanity.
This Ohio weather is depressing, I am ready for some warm sunshine. I really need a spring break.
I have been so hard on myself and my counseller told me to stay focused on the positive accomplishments, so here goes:
1) I have lost 10 lbs. (10 lbs more than if I had never started!)
2) I have gotten out and done some exercise.
3) I have strayed, but got back on the horsy!
4) My daughter is getting curious about eating solids and I feel good about her seeing my food choices!
I bought 2-5 lb bags of sugar yesterday at the grocery (for the hubby) and I just realized how heavy 10 lbs is. I lost 10 lbs!!
YEAH!!!!!!!!!
Well, I weighed in yesterday and lost .4 Lbs. I guess it is better than gaining, but I have to say I am disappointed.
Goals this week are to walk 10,000 steps 3 out of 7 days with 5000 of those being aerobic steps. I did 7200 yesterday, so I guess even trying to reach that goal will get me moving more everyday!
This has been a heck of a week. It is pre-TToTM and I feel like CRAP!!! I am also sooo tired. This cold is hanging on and won't go away. I'm doing pretty good food-wise, but I just can't seem to get up and work out. I have absolutely NO motivation.
My husband has been a REALLY bad influence. He bought reese's peanut butter eggs. Who does he think he is?? Why does he do this stuff. And then he eats my yogurt.
OK, he's really a great guy, but his food choices are making me crazy. I guess it's easier to be mad at him for making bad food choices, than to be mad at myself for screwing up or getting here in the first place (This is part of the process, I don't hate him).
It was warm and now it's cold again. Love that Ohio weather. Not sure wat weigh in will show this week.
Well I had my weigh in last week and all my efforts are paying off. Another 2.4 lbs.
I just can't seem to get in any exercise right now and I am inspired to get moving. Imagine how good I will do once I start to work out! But with the new baby it is just impossible to find any time to work out. She doesn't really nap very long and once I get home with her, I want to spend time with her anyway.
Once the weather gets nice, the stroller comes out & look out neighborhood. I am ready for spring....
I can't begin to tell you how great it is to read the comments on my posts.
It feels really good to have so much support from other people who know what it's like to be in my boat. We are all paddling as fast as we can!
I used to paddle to the dessert table, now I'm just paddling in a circle because I haven't really gained the confidence I need yet to know what direction I am heading. I know I am REALLY hard on myself and this is part of the process.
I am learning to forgive myself, but it is so much harder to forgive myself than anyone else I know. Why is that? Do I think I am invincible?
I am still mad at myself for not taking advantage of the weight loss right after I gave birth in October, I was down 25 lbs from before I actually got pregnant, I had some troubles with breastfeeding production. The answer was that I was supposed to eat more, but all that happened was I gained weight.
Well anyway, enough ranting for now. I really wanted to tell everyone out there how much your comments and support mean to me and it gives me the hope that I will succeed with all of you on my side.
Well, alrighty then, I wasn't a very good girl this weekend.
I was so excited because I just bought a new vehicle, big ole SUV, for the baby of course. She only weighs 15 lbs, but she comes with so many accessories. Plus a bigger vehicle is safer, at least that's what I'm telling myself.
We spent most of Saturday morning in the dealership, so I wasn't prepared and I didn't bring any fruit or anything. I did fine until we went to a baby shower on Saturday night. Snack city and you couldn't really stand anywhere except next to the table. I didn't get crazy, but what I did eat was 100% fat-spinach & artichoke dip, cheese con queso, little mini chicken salad sandwiches and strawberries with angelfood cake and a dollop of whipped cream.
At least I didn't drink any alcohol. Sunday I came down with a cold and felt like HE-double toothpicks. Didn't want to eat good (food is comfort) but I stuck it out and made some chicken broth soup with veggies.
Went grocery shopping and got my goods for the week. Chopped up all my fruit and veggies and created little packaged amounts.
I'm back in the saddle again....
Well I've found that journalling is good for the soul and good for my eating habits.
Keeping a food journal keeps me on track. If I stop writing down what I'm eating, it tends to get out of control. I guess it is a way to be accountable to myself.
If it goes in the mouth, it goes in the journal. I got off track yesterday, but not out of complete control.
I'm not sure how I feel about my weigh-in today. I know I've lost weight, but will it be enough to keep me motivated. I get disappointed if I don't see a BIG loss, even though I know not to expect that.
JC has setup a 5% loss as my first goal (12 lbs) but I've got my own as my first 10 lbs. I would like to reach that by next week (10lbs or both).
I am not walking as many steps in a day as I thought I was. I need to increase my activity. Maybe just a walk at lunch around the building will bring it up enough.
