Garbage In---Garbage Out

I sit here and cruise the site and yet there I days I do not Blog.  Why?  Because I have not been in the healthy weight loss mood.  I have had barbeque, cake, cookies.  I walk by, see it and rebelliously put it in my mouth like I don't care.  Well somewhere inside me I do care.  I have to or I'm going to undo all that I have done.  So starting today, I am going to record my food intake from the previous day on the blog.  Maybe a little public humiliation is what I need.

Breakfast - Cereal

Snack - Yougurt

Candy and a cookie as I walk through the office

Lunch -JC Cheesy Enchilada

Pizza Party for my 6th period 3 slices

Dinner -Salad

After Dinner -Cake, popcorn cookies

Water intake 32 ozs.

Today has already been shot to hell.  I must do better the rest of the day.

I've lost that loving feeling

I have been soooo unmotivated lately.  I'm not sure if it is the end of the school year/start of the summer job stress, my finances, the fact that my husband was in a car accident (he is fine) or what, but it is like I just don't care.  I have lost 32.2 lbs and you would think this would motivate me to keep my going but...  I haven't totally pigged out everyday, but I have not really followed the plan.  And excercise... forget about it.  Something has got to make me want to care.  I hope I can find it in myself because I really need to lose about 60/70 lbs more.  I was so happy at the start and now....

Question

Does anyone know how to change the background on my blog?  When I go to wher I think I am suppossed to change it, it doesn't give me any choices except the one that I already have.  Thanks for any help.  (I'm kind of tired of my circus background).

23 School Days Left

So right now I am feeling totally elated because I went down another decade.  (I'm not really sure what it is called when the second digit changes, but that's what I call it). 

I am also feeling a tad overwhelmed however.  Working 2 jobs is a toll on itself and both of the jobs are pretty high stress this time of year.  My second job shouldn't be stressful, but we have a new boss and I haven't quite figured her out yet.  At times I feel like I am doing great, and at other times, I feel like I can't do anything right by her.  Oh well-time will tell.  All I can do is my best and if that's not good enough, there is not much I can do.  I am a little concerned about tomorrows schedule at work.  I have to be there at 7am which means leaving my house at 6am.  I usually eat breakfast at 6:30 so I guess I will need to bring something portable so I can eat in the car.  (Driving and eating cereal wouldn't work).  Also, I am suppossed to eat every 3 to 4 hours on JC, so I'm not exactly how I am going to fit that in.  I'm sure I'll figure it out.

It is so inspiring to read about you all.  Sometimes I will read without blogging (I just don't have a lot to say) and it will inspire me to take a walk, lift some weights or pass up dessert.  Thank you for all of your posts (and comments too).  They truly are a blessing and you are in my prayers.  Have a great week.

Question

I have WI tommorrow and TOM came today.  I know I should know this, but does anyone know how that could affect my WI?  I've never been that in tune with my body. I'll try to blog more later.  Thanks to whoever may answer.

Got Lucky Again

I did not gain!!!  I lost 2lbs in the past 2 weeks and am thrilled.  I was not able to go to JC last week and had to watch what I ate on my own for the most part.  I also didn't do too well, so luckily, I had to do a lot of physical labor at my 2nd job (including learning a dance routine-I could barely walk on Sunday).

I am finally feeling a little more motivated again.  I have 4 more pounds until I am below 220, and I really want that number to change.  I have 14 pounds until I am below 200.  I can't remember the last time my weight started with a 1.  I would love to do that by summer, but for now, my goal is 4 ponds by May.  Good luck to all of us!!

Tonight is Weigh In

I have had a really bad couple of weeks, diet wise.  I have absolutely no motivation, even though I have seen results.  Tonight is going to be bad, but what I might need to get myself in gear again.  I hope I did not gain much, but I have a feeling I have gained.  Not only have I not been motivated, but I have been hungry.  Hopefully soon, I can get back on track.  I'll update tomorrow.

What Happend?

So last week I was totaly motivated.  I even hit my 25lb mark and got my ears pierced as a reward.  Now I just feel (as someone else put it) BLAH.  I don't feel like excercising and have have not done well staying away from sweets today.  It could be because I had to cancell my JC appointment today.  (Lack of funds.  I swear, these gas prices are killing me.  Between me and my son always needing gas money to get to school). 

The other reason we are short this week is because my DH found out he get to go to Florida with our daughter and I for dance nationals.  We (my daughter and I) were going to room with someone else, but now my family is getting a condo and I have to put the downpayment on it this weekend.

Anyway, if anyone has any adivice about how to overcome the BLAHS, I would sure appriciate it.  Everyone out there, keep at it and good luck.

Still Working

For those who have commented to any of my posts, thank you.  They have been the encouragement I need to keep going.  I am trying to get better at adding comments to other peoples blogs when I feel like I may have some words of encouragement. 

Well the good news is I just about hit my 25 lb mark.  To celebrate, I went and had my ears re-pierced.  (I had them pierced along time ago but was extremely allergic so I let them close up).  My daughter (who also had a problem with her earrings) has found some that are working well for her so I figured I would give it another shot.  So far so good.  (it didn't even hurt).

It seems like I do really well at sticking to the plan during the week but the weekends are a different story, especially since I work in the entertainment department at an amusement park and don't have a normal routine there yet.  I hope when summer comes and I am working there full time, I will be able to make it work.  Hoepfully since I started in January it will be easier.

A great workout video is Leslie Snasomes 5 mile walk.  (I currently do 2 miles however have done 5 a few times).  You burn tons of calories, but it doesn't kill you.  (I'm not a big excercise fanatic).  I have found that I do feel better after I work out (duh).

Everyone hang in there.  We're all in this together.  (It's hard to say that phrase without the High School Musical soundtrack playing in my head). 

Off the Wagon

It has been a bad couple of weeks.  Mainly due to lack of money to go to JC and lack of drive without it.  Add PMS and spring break and I just couldn't deal.  I do not even want yo weigh in so I may send my hubbie to pick up my food and wi next visit.  The one bright note is I am going back.  In the past I would have given up much easier.  Good luck to all.
