I did it!

I did it! I worked so hard yesterday to watch what I'm eating, drink a lot of water, and keep moving around. I lost another lb this morning and I'm looking forward to going to the gym this morning. I'm going to do an hour of cardio just like I did last monday and watch what I eat.

I need to figure out a way to get more water with me. I'm feeling good and proud of myself. I hope I can keep this up and I just tell myself, one day at a time. I've been reading Peertrainer and extrapounds.com blogs to keep me motivated and it helps alot.

Offended

Last night, I felt offended when my husband talked about his best friend's wife losing weight and looking good. I felt like he was telling me that she was thinner than me, even though he told me that wasn't what he meant? I was like hmm oh really?

First of all, she is way younger than me in her early 20's and she doesn't have any children. It's much harder to lose weight when you get older and after you have a baby. I was so upset by his comments that I had a hard time falling asleep last night. I even slept on the couch just to spite him.

But I felt better when I get on the scale this morning and lost 2 lbs that I gained over the weekend. I decided that I need to stop eating those ice cream. I had ice cream every night all weekend and that's not good. I'm tired of being this heavy, so it's time to get to work and start making better choices when it comes to my eating habits.

I read an anti-aging guding from prevention.com and how someone explained that living to be 100 years is hard work and having faith. It's not in the genes to determined how long you live, it's all about the choices you make to your health. I felt motivated to work harder on being healthy to live longer. :)

I was working on the elliptical yesterday morning and I saw this woman who is probably in her 50's. She looks really good for a senior citizen and she exercised on the elliptical longer than me. That show she is in much better shape than me. I hope I will be able to look like that when I am in my 50's.

Chinese food and ice cream

I had chinese food last night at the mall. I absolutely love chinese food but I would only eat them at the food court mall or PF Chang. For some reason, the local chinese food does not taste that great and they're always over cooked and dried.

I grew up in Jersey and they have wonderful chinese food up north but as you go south of VA, it's not that great.

Then I had my usual ice cream for dessert. My friend Julie was telling me that I need to watch the ice cream thing since I am eating too much of it. I told her that I know it but for some reason, I don't gain weight from ice cream. Maybe the calcium in the dairy?

I decided to risk myself by getting on the scale to be sure I didn't gain too much weight. To my surprise, I actually lost a pound. Whew! I was happy to see that.

Eating too much

I was not happy with what I ate yesterday. I could have eliminated the Doritios but I was starving by the time I ate lunch. My friend kept driving around and around and I felt like we were never going to eat lunch. We finally ate lunch around 230pm and that's a long time for me not to eat lunch since I tend to eat at 1130 or noon.

That's one of the reasons why I can't wait until I am starving to eat because I ended up eating more than usual like eating the Doritios.

I decided at dinnertime that I would have a light salad for some veggie and then my husband offered to go for ice cream. I think I need to start turning that down. It's really hard because I love ice cream. But it's causing me to gain weight and my face is breaking out really bad from all the hormones messed up in the dairy food. It's the price I paid for eating ice cream. I have to think to myself if ice cream is worth the price of gaining weight and a break out face! I'm beginning to think maybe not!

Sore Legs and Hips

Since I haven't done T-tapp in a long time, my legs were so sore. I went to the YMCA yesterday and did 30 minute of walking on the treadmill. Then I decided to challenge myself to do 15 minutes of stair stepper. I was surprised that I could last that long.

I could tell that T-tapp helped built my muscles and make cardio exercise seem so easy. This is how I know that T-tapp does work.

Now I plan to T-tapp again and I really don't feel like doing it because I'm so tired and sore. But I'm determined to keep going. I lost 1 and a half pounds in the last 2 days for working out hard and watch my eating habits.

I decided to eliminate mayo on my lunch sandwich and no ketchup on my hot dog. Wow what a difference it makes to  elmiminate the condiments.

Starting T-tapp again.

I did T-tapp this morning while my daughter is napping. It was hard to do it since it has been a while. I did the 15 minutes BWO and brush before I took a shower. I was planning to eat a banana but Jason, my husband, ate the last one this morning.

I have some watermelon in the fridge and I might have some of that. I'm trying to think of a way how to eat lunch with no carbs. I always have carbs at lunchtime. Maybe I could eat a sandwich with extra veggie. I think I will check out peertrainer and see what people eat for lunch with no carbs.

I feel tired now but good at the same time after taking a shower. I'm determined to start exercising more at least once a day. I'm hoping to lose at least 2 lbs this week.
