Date night

Last night was my date with hubby.  It was to celebrate our 6th anniversary that was last tuesday.   It was awesome.  I did so great on my eating.  I had everything I wanted even if it was just a small bite of it.  I took little bites and chewed my food slowly and for once my piggy snout did not appear and rule the night.  I felt so good when I left but my hubby was very very full.  We went to the spirit mountain casino and they have a buffet.  Hubby overindulged.  We were both done eating at the same time, but he had 3 servings to my one.  Not only my eating was good but we ended up walking out the door with $240 extra in our pockets.  Is was such a great night.  I cant explain how good I felt.  I am losing weight, winning some money, and hubby is showing a lot of public affection.  I feel like I'm on top of the world. 

A great week

This last week was a really good one.  I lost 3.4 lbs and I have so much energy.  I am going out to dinner tomorrow night so I am really trying to plan ahead.  I have been going over in my head what I will do, and what foods I should eat.  I tell myself that I am only going to have one drink and that I am not going to eat off of my hubbys plate.  Now all I have to do is follow through with it and not go overboard. 

Today I really want to lose weight so my wedding ring will fit onto my finger without it looking like a twist in an animal balloon.

feeling good

Tonigh is my wi.  I have had a really good week.  I am hoping for at least 1 pound.  I have exercised more this week and started to do some light weight lifting.  It is a beautiful day out, the sun is shining bright through the windows leavind a bid sunny patch on our living room floor.  I think I will go stand in it for awhile.

breaking habits

I used to eat with every emotion.  I am exicted so lets go have a hamburger.  I am sad so lets have some taco bell.  I am angy so lets have an entire cheese cake to ourselves.  I was so totally out of control.  Today I realized that when I felt happy or frusterated I wasnt looking in the fridge or the cupboards.  It was a little weird because it happened like it was a natural thing to do.  I am so happy that it happened.  Now when the "eating my emotions" rears its ugly head I'll be able to know that doing the right thing, by not eating my emotions, will eventually surpass the bad habit. 

exercise goal

So I have been reading some other blogs about running and I think that I will set that as my goal.  I started to exercise but it is just a little bit because I have been so unactive.  The first goal is to be able to run by the end of summer.  I am so overweight right now that it hurts to run.  I am walking and using an eliptical.  Hopefull by the time summer gets here I will have dropped a bunch of pounds so I can run.  My ultimate exercise goal is to be able to run in a 5k marathon. 

walking

I have been doing my best with ww and now I am suppose to start to move more.  I am not a very active person so I am suppose to work to earn 3 active points per week.  That is about 90 min of light exercise I need to do for the week.  I am going to split it up into three 30 min sessions.  My goal is to stick to that for two weeks.  Now all I have to do is get my butt out in the rain and snow.  I think that is the hard part for me, not the actual exercise but getting me out and doing it.

An awesome wi

So I went to my meeting last night.  I signed in, took off my coat, dropped my purse, and slid off my shoes.  Then I stepped onto the scale and to my wonder I had lost a total of 7.2 pounds. 

It made my week and my month.  I feel so good and so positive.  I feel like I am finally doing things right. 

WI

Tonight is WI for me.  I am a little nervous.  I really hope that I have lost some.  This week has been really good.  I followed my points and everything, but because I dont feel like I am dieting I am worried that nothing has changed.  I am so used to feeling hungry most of the time with losing weight and since I dont feel like I am starving I feel that I havent lost anything.  Tonight will be here soon enough, wish me luck.

Rush

Every other time that I have tried to lose weight I have been in a rush to do so.  I wanted to lose everthing as fast as I can.  I would plan it all out, how many months it would take to lose the weight, how much I would need to lose every week.  I would want to be thin by a certain date.  When I look back now I can see how wrong that is and how it is setting myself up to fail.  This time I have a much better outlook on weight loss.  I am not giving myself a date on when I will be skinny I am just simply going to go week by week and hope for a loss at every weigh in.  I dont have a time limit on losing the weight.  There is no rush for me to lose it.  It is a relief not to be in such a hurry.  Slow and steady feels good.

energy

The second day after starting ww I had a headache in the morning and at night.  I think it was from not having as much sugar as I used to.  I used to have at least one candy bar a day and go through a drive through twice a week.  I havent done that at all these last few days and this morning when I woke up I felt awake and had more energy.  I got our of bed and was actually awake.  It is a good feeling not to want to sit back down as soon as you get up.    I can keep my eyes open.  Yaay!!
