Confession is good for the soul

I binged all day Friday and Saturday. Needless to say I gained back 4lbs. I'll be ok. I was really down at first. I'm feeling better now. I'm just going to measure everything and stop buying packs of junk food. I'll buy the single serving on my reward day. I just can't having junk food available. At least I'm trying to learn from my mistakes. So I started my binge free days count over. So today is day 4 cycle 1. I am determined to make it 28 days without a binge.

I can't believe it!

I lost four more pounds this week. It probably would have been more if I wouldn't have had a binge on Friday. I guess my body is just ready to drop the weight. Well I won't complain. Just checking in for accountability.

Yahoo!

I have lost 4 lbs. I guess ww is working. I'll give it a couple of more weeks before I can say if I like it or not. I also got my body fat tested.My upper body is great (24% body fat) but my lower body is (stomache) 30 and 35% (thighs) body fat. My body's fat percent is 29%. My personal trainer says if I loose 40 pounds then I will be at the healthy weight range for my height and body type. So my new goal is to weigh 195lbs. Now don't get me wrong. I still want to weigh 175 but 195 feels more attainable and it helps me realize that this is more about me being healthy. So I guess my exercising has not been in vain. If I can just stay on point with my eating then I will be a diva yet.

WW

Well Monday I joined ww. I'm doing the core plan. I haven't wanted to cheat or anything yet. For my 35 weekly reward points I decided to do 5 points each day. Since I did so well with my eating I'm going to go get a manicure. I also scheduled a massage for 8/7 to encourage myself to keep up the great work. This will be my first time getting a professional massage. Shoot, the money I'm saving on not eating fast food will pay for these rewards.

I can't wait until my weigh in to see if I am going to have progress. If nothing comes off then I need to switch my birth control. Something has got to give for pete's sake.

Keep working it like you know how to do!

Down in the dumps

Hey fellow divas. I've been feeling a little down lately. I went to a JC center Monday, since I get a discount through my insurance. But it is too expensive and they want you to eat only their food. I probably would have felt ok but I let them weigh me. I have not lost anything. I have been feeling down every since.

Well I have scheduled an appointment with my doctor so he can refer me to a specialist. The appointment is in ten days. Also, I will be joining WW on Wednesday. I need some support. Something has got to give.

I have been swimming and doing aqua motions all week.

I'm going to WW on Wednesday. I'll let you know the outcome.

A new day a new week

Well I'm not even thinking about what happened this weekend. I'm focused on doing well today. I packed a healthy lunch of cherries and strawberries (sandwhich bag full), one nectarine, one plum, one orange, one bannana, almonds, strawberry yogurt, and a salad with spinach, red leaf lettuce, tomatoes, one slice of american cheese, two slices of honey smoked turkey (thinly sliced) and fat free Catalina Salad dressing. So far I had four carrots juiced for breakfast and 1/3 of my cherries and strawberries. That's a good start. I probably won't eat all of that food but its better to be safe than sorry.

Holiday blues

Well I enjoyed myself too much this weekend. I'm trying to convince myself to workout today. Its hard not to beat yourself up when you know that you overate and you know that you can do better. Sometimes I feel like an addict. I try to tell myself that I will not let the food control me but it just keeps calling my name. What should I do?

Well I'm getting rid of the junk food. Also I don't think I can handle reward days right now. I have to eat clean for a couple of weeks before I can even consider a reward meal.

My friends always talk about wanting to loose weight but it is just talk. Maybe I need to contact a support group to help me. What do you think?

Late night snacking

Who knew that it would this difficult not eating late at night. I wanted to snack on something so bad. And the sad thing was I was not even hungry. In spite of the temptation, I made it through without a late night snack.

I did not workout yesterday so I have to make sure I squeeze a workout in  after class.

New week new schedule

Well the weekend is almost over and it is time to start another week. This week's goal is for me to stop eat 3 hours before I go to bed. This will be extremly difficult for me to do on Tuesdays and Thursdays when I have class. What will I do? I may have to purchase frozen dinner for those days or pick up a meal at the health food store before class. I'll figure something out.

My reward days will still be Thursday and Saturday. My work out schedule will be swimming Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday/Sunday. I will do strength training on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

I don't think I've mentioned that I have not gotten on the scale since April. It gets me disappointed so I am just focusing on eating healthier and making my clothes so big for me that I will have to buy some more.

A change of plans

Well I decided to switch my workout schedule this week instead of after the holiday weekend. I left my sneakers at home but had my swimming suit so I started a little early.

I need to look at the transitional diet so I can see whats schedule for next week.

Happy birthday slimdreams. Cindy I'm glad that you enjoyed your birthday.

I have a paper to type so I off.
