losing the weight...

but I honestly don't see a difference. My clothes aren't as snug, but when I look in the mirror, I don't see it. It has been almost 4 months, with a few slip ups here & there, but I am proud to have lost 20 lbs so far.

I have a lot of marital issues going on, (not sure if I should stay with DH at  this point,) so I'll bet much of the recent weight loss is due to stress :o(  But, I'm trying to focus on taking care of myself ,(for once!) & DD & trying to stay positive. We shall see...

disappointed

I only lost a pound & even though I should be happy about it, I'm a bit disappointed. I walked more this past week, I ate within my WW points & didn't even use up all my flex points. We went to my cousin's HS graduation party yesterday & all I ate was a piece of barbeque chicken, a little coleslaw, a little bit of beans & had fruit for dessert. I passed on all the good stuff! No wine, no beer, no burgers or hot dogs & no cake.  But, instead if getting depressed about it & pigging out, I'm determined to lose more this week & get more exercise in.  So, we shall see, hopefully next week I will lose again.

still at it

It'll be 3 weeks tomorrow, I'm a little nervous about weighing myself though. I've eaten well this week & managed to exercise twice. Two times is better than none at all. I'm feeling better overall. I'm still not sleeping well, but I don't feel as tired as I usually do. It really does feel good to eat healthy. I hope I can stay commited & motivated & hopefull reach my goal weight sooner than I planned.

well...

I weighed myself again this morning & I finally lost a little bit. It may be only a pound, but I'll take it  We went to a town fair today & walked around with Erin. I drank my H2O & refused to eat there. It was a little tough turning down zeppolies & ice cream, but I was so busy with Erin, that it wasn't as hard to do as I thought.

My goal for this week is to get some exercise in. I keep finding excuses not to do any. Isn't chasing a toddler around enough? LOL

the scale

 I am starting to get obsessed & weighing myself every morning. It has not budged & I'm getting pissed! I ate the best ever this week. I made sure I hade plenty of veggies, drank plenty of water & haven't used all my daily WW points. I really thought I would have lost at least a pound. I never took measurements, so maybe I've lost a couple of inches. Anyway, I'm trying not to get discouraged.

It's been less than 2 weeks...

but I am still doing pretty well. I ate a little more than I should have over the weekend, but I made healthy,(well, healthier), choices. I just can't seem to find the energy or even the time to exercise. It's been raining on & off here for the past few days so I haven't even been able to take Erin for walks. On the days she does nap, I just want to relax & not do the treadmill. I really need to push myself to exercise. I know I'll feel much better if I do.  I also forgot to cancel my WW automatic renewal on the 9th, so I'll keep it for another month & stock up on recipe /exercise ideas.

day 3

It's only been 3 days, but it's a start. I've been an emotional, yo-yo dieter since HS. I don't want to do it anymore. I need to stay focused & set a good example for my DD, who is only 2 1/2, but I don't want her to grow up with food issues like I did.

It rained all day today, so I cleaned...a lot! Between that & Erin, I was too busy to overeat! I'm hoping it's nice out tomorrow so we can go for a walk again.

One day at a time

Thanks to my EM friends, I am finally ready to do this. I am off to a new start today & I will try not to dwell on my past several failed attempts. I want to be healthy, I want to feel good, I want to look good, I want to be energetic & most of all I want to be happy with me, inside & out.

I bought a few 5x7 notebooks from $1 Tree yesterday & I am keeping a food log. I also plan on taking my vitamins, FO caps & calmag everyday. I will pass on eating DD's leftovers!
