Where are the sweets!
Well today went pretty well with eating. The only problem is I think about junk food ALL DAY LONG! This will change the closer I get to my cheat day. But right now Thursday looks so far away.
Todays workout was spin class and abs. Dawn (instructor) really kicked my but. She never lets me slack. Thats a good thing because this weight must come off..
Not feeling talkative today. Just wanted to check in so I can stay accountable.

Where has all the time went?
It has almost been a year since I was on this board. I tried working out at home and finally decided to join the health club. It was too hard working out and worrying about waking up my family. When I lived alone I just went for what I know. Now its back to the drawing board. I'm not going to use my family as an excuse to gain weight. I love myself way too much to allow that to happen.
This week I am starting the transitional diet. So no junk food. My two cheat days will be on Thursday and Saturday. I will only cheat at dinner time. I will workout 6 days a week. Currently I am doing spin class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Sunday/Saturday, Tuesday, Thursdays I do strength training.
I'll try and check in to keep myself accountable.

What a pig I am!
I messed up big time yesterday. I ate some of the cake and cookies that I left over from Sunday last night. I just couldn't fight the urge. So I decided that I can only buy single servings on my cheat day so there will be no left overs. I am not strong enough to handle the pressure junk food in my possession.
Now the problem is forgiving myself of my slip up. I know that it was a simple mistake but the guilt is still lingering.
Any who, after this week I'm starting the transitional diet over again. I will continue to eat a low carb diet but have two cheat days for week 1 and 2. Then week 3-6 I will have 1 cheat day and on week six I will have no processed food. Week six is just so difficult because I eat a lot of dried/canned fruit. But I should be able to survive 1 week of this torture.
I'm still pp. Some days are more difficult than others but I am still working out at least five days a week.
Well here's to a healthy day and not allowing the pass to get me down.

Starting another week
Well this week I can nt eat process foods. That means I have more food to cook. Did I mention that I hate cooking. Well its only for a week. That means no cheese or lunch meet. What will I eat for lunch. Nuts and fruit? Needless to say this will be adifficult week.

Happy Friday!
Well I've made it to the end of the work week. I am so exhausted because I was at work until 8 pm and then I went to church afterwards. We had meet the teachers' nght and it is my pastors aniversary celebration. So much to do and so little time.
I've done pretty well this week. My body is going through shock from lack of carbs. The only carbs I have been eating is my oatmeal and the dressing on my salad. I have not been craving them but my body has been feeling week and I don't have as much pep in my step. The energy is definitely missing. I have to push myself harder to work out too.
Well today is Dees mom funeral. I hate that I am not able to attend. I am taking her and her hubby out for dinner after church on Sunday to give her a change of scenery.
Time to do some work.

Week 5
Well not only do I have to cut back on my bread but its my time of the month. I thought it would be really difficult. But yesterday went really well. Hopefully I will do just as well today at work.
I had to ride my bike to work today. My guy's car is out of commission. It's been a while since I've done it. My guy's been spoiling me. It wasn't as bad as I thought. The hill was difficult but I still made good timing.
I went to the hopsital on Saturday. My best friend's mom is in the hospital. The doctors only gave her a couple of months to live. Hopefully God will ease her pain and comfort her family in this time of distress. I hope my best friend gets pregnant before then so her mom can relish in something joyful.
Well its time to start my work day and yes I do plan on pp today. Have a healthy day!

It's Friday
The weekend is almost here! I'm not in pain and my workouts are going great. I like working out after work because my parents are not watching me. When I lived by myself I didn't have to worry about an audience.
Tomorrow is my cheat day and I am definitly looking forward to that.
09/06/2007 08:57
Ouch
My upper body is starting to feel the pain of the push ups that I did on Tuesday. All I can say is ouch! That just means that the work out is working. Burn baby burn. Now if I can just make it through today without complaining about the pain.
It just hit me that I have to cut back on bread next week. What am I going to do? I know I should just focus on today but I want to suceed so bad that I start getting worried. Ok Lafay, just focus on today. Tomorrow will take care of itself.

Yahoo!
I was able to force myself to pp yesterday. I think that I am going to keep the evenings as my workout time until I get back into the habit. Knowing that my wowy buddies were working out too kept me encouraged. My knee did not hurt at all. Hopefully this keeps up so I can reach my goal for thanksgiving. My goal is to weigh 208 lbs. That is a 1.5 lbs lost per week. I think that is doable. If I eat clean and stay on task I could loose more but 208 is my focus for now.
Well its time for me service my students. Have a healthy day!

Week 4
Well I have been hanging in there with the transitional diet. This week I have to cook at home. Fast food didn't look good until I knew I was not suppose to have it. I'll do ok.
My knee has been hurting me since Thursday so I have not pushed play (pp). I felt better this morning but the pillow felt so good. So I will work out when I get home. Besides a couple of my beach body buddies issued a 90 day workout challenge and I'm game. The challenge is to do the transitional diet and work out 6 days a week for 90 days. I need all of the encouragement that I can get.
I lost another pound. It's not as much as I wanted but it's coming off. I know that after next week it will come off quicker because week five is when we cut back on the starchy carbs. Thats another pitfall I have. I will have to kiss the crossants and blueberry bagels goodbye. Any who! Here's to another healthy week.
