Before After

Old Habits die hard

My old habits reared their ugly head today.  I found myself in the kitchen staring into to the fridge, not thinking about anything but what I can pop into my mouth this second.  I wanted to loose myself into the oblivion of stuffing myself.  To eat and eat and eat.  But, a miracle happened.  Usually when this particulary habit comes out it takes me forever to come back from it.  I mean like months.   For some reason, I was able to stop myself after a piece of french bread with butter.  I forced myself to do 30 min of cardio and  now I feel so much better and in control.  Hopefully its another week or two before I have the urge to binge again. 

I just dont understand me sometimes

So I have totally slacked on my ep blog, as you can tell.  I dont know what it is that goes on in my mind.  I was struggling so bad for that last few weeks.  Then, something just clicked in my head, or my will power came back from its vacation, because now I am totally on track.  I dont understand what it is that finally makes me have some control over myself.  Or what changes to make me have this drive that I have right now.  I wish I could figure it out so I can use it every time I fall flat on my face. 

another time

I am starting over again!!  A new fresh start as of today.  Forget the last couple of weeks where I have gained back half of what I have lost.  My new goal is to loose 20 lbs by September 12.  That is my daughters 5th birthday and it seems like a good amount of time to loose the weight, but will also push me to stay on the losing side.  I am also going to give me little treats for every 5lbs.  The first one is going to be to have my eyebrows waxed,  I need that, so maybe I will push myself so I can get it done as soon as possible.  Then for the next five lbs.........hmmm I dont know, I will have to think about it.   When I think of something I will post them.  If anybody has some ideas on that out in EP land I would love to have some suggestions.

work out

I purchased an eliptical today.  It gave me the best work out I have had in years and years.  It felt so good to sweat like that.  It felt as if I was sweating out all my frustration and bad thoughts.  I feel so good right now.     Finally I have something that will give me a decent work out.  I had such a hard time working out before because of the impact on my knees and shins.  Hopefully this will get me down to a weight where I will be able to run or something that has a higher impact on my legs.  I found 3 pairs of pants in my closet that are brand new, they are just one size to small for me.  I have so many clothes, but they are just a size or more smaller than I am.   I cant wait to fit into them.  Then I wont be stuck with 1 pair of jeans and a few shirts. 

B S

I weighed myself today and the scale said I gained 6 lbs.  It hasnt even been a week since I last weighed.  How the heck could I gain 6 lbs in 4 days?  WTH????  I wanted to throw the darn thing through a window.
