I completed my 1st day with the bodybugg. I wouldn't call it bad, but it wasn't the most successful day. It's going to take me some time to get into the habit of the program. I'm supposed to eat 1000 cals a day & right now I'm doing good to get in 800. And that is usually all in one meal! I know that's horrible.
I'm supposed to be pushing for 2700 cals burned a day. I'm up to 2105. So I guess that's not too bad. I also have a 10,000 steps a day goal. I'm barely made it to 2500 today. That will have to be worked on for sure! I know I can do better than that if I put my mind to it. I have had this inability to stay lazy today lol. I knwo that's good right? It's like everytime I sit down, I keep thinking about how many more cals I'd burn if I was up doing something. Guess it that way, it's going to keep me motivated to stay active & always push myself to do more the next day! Like a little competition for myself ;).
I got my bodybugg Monday. Took a cpl days for the seriel # to get sorted out. They had to manualy insert it into their system bc apparently it wasnt there. Anywho it's all gravy now. I got everything set up last night around midnight. Wasn't sure if I should wait until this morning to start or if I should just put it on right then & run with it. I chose the latter. No sense putting these things off lol.
I haven't gotten much done the past 3 days. Just can't seem to get my lazy ass moving at all. This house is about to come alive & eat me. It needs cleaned so bad. I detest a sloppy house above all things! It just makes my skin crawl to see it so cluttered. Living in a small house, it doesn't take much for it to look completely destroyed either lol. As soon as little man wakes up I'm going to put my plan into action! A little later on this evening, I'm going to get my 3 mile watps in. I haven't done that in 3 days either. *sigh* What's wrong with me lately? Just plain lazy! These lbs are not going to work themselves off of me for goodness sakes!
My WI in Sunday. It's already Wed. And Monday I was magicaly up 6lbs already!!! I seriously need to get my arse in gear here!!
I got an email today letting me know that my WATPs dvds are in the mail! Woot woot! Then later I got another email telling me that my bodybugg & digital watch were on their way as well !!!
Went to walmart today to grab a few things. Went down the 'diet' aisle by accident. Out of the corner of my eye I seen the 'green tea fat burner' pills a friend told me about. I decided 'hey they're only $10..wth'. I am using it mostly as an energy supplement. My energy is zip here lately. I'll catch myself falling asleep sitting here typing even. Not sure whats going on with that.
I ordered a balance ball from walmart.com. I hope it gets shipped soon. Had to get a new one since my son popped my other one . I took a water pill this morning & BOY ~ I must have been retaining a LOT of water! I haven't been able to leave the loo for longer than 20 mins at a time! I'm thankfull I'm losing it all but whew! That's a lot of trips to the pot! Not to mention it will probably be back by next week lol.
I'm not weighing until Sunday this week. I want to just give this my best effort & run with whatever the scale shows me this week. I haven't been getting a whole lot of excercise in due to being so freakin busy this week. Maybe that in itself will pay off..who knows. I'm going to spend the rest of the day cleaning this horrid house of mine! DD is going to love that when she gets home. lol. Cause she's going to be helping! Hope everyone is having a wonderfull day!
I ordered my bodybugg & the digital meter today off of 24hourfitness.com . Little concerned because I didn’t recieve a cofirmation email like I should have but they did take the money out of my accnt already. I did get an order #, so I guess that’s better than nothing. I contacted them via email as to the status of my order, even tho I just placed it today, I still want to know what’s going on with it. It’s a rather pricey order so I get concerned about these things. Rightfully so.
I also ordered 3 “walk away the pounds” dvds off amazon. With the weather turning any time now, I know I won’t be walking outside as much so I hope this will be a good replacement thru the winter months atleast :). My kids are driving me BATTY tonight!! My son managed to knock over his corner lamp & bust the bulb. So now he has glass all over his room. AND the glass popped my balancing ball, so that pissed me off. Theres $30 down the freakin drain. Grrr. My daughter is actually behaving tonight so I should just say my baby is driving me bananas lol. I need a girls night desperately. This “MOMMY!!” all day long is making my ears hurt lol. Now is a stranger at the club calls me mommy, I won’t complain ;). LOL!
Anywho - I did manage to get a 3 mile walk in today. In 2 segments. But done never the less. I was hoping for 5 but not complaining about 3. I really thought about getting into some yoga. Mostly for stress relief & posture. I’ve noticed more & more pains in my neck & lower back since I started walking more. Thinking it must surely be due to my poor posture. I’m gonna have a hump in my back by the time I’m 30 at this rate! Other than that, not too much going on today. I hope everyone is having a great week thus far!
Sunday - the end of a so-so week. The beginning of a stellar week! I am so looking forward to a great WI next Sunday! This week TOM was here so it kind of detered me a bit in that department. I maintained today. Tomorrow I'll probably see a big dip, due to the tremendous amount of water weight I lose the day following TOMs departure. I almost wish it would have left yesterday so I would have had another great WI this week..but it's the set up for a great one next week.
I have made a couple of changes to my goals for this month. I've decided not to join WW after all. I am already going to be tracking my ins & outs with the bodybugg system. I don't really see the need to track them twice. Another reason is, I can't count points the rest of my life. It's just not realistic. I am eventually going to have to learn to eat right all by myself. I'm going to have to learn to get thru the holidays & birthdays without guilt. I am going to retrain myself on portion control at all costs. If I want a piece of cake, I'll have a piece of cake. Just not the WHOLE cake...or a jynormous piece lol. I can do this. I can learn to do this the right way.
I am 1lb away from my mini goal set back in August of 215. I had hoped I could reach that goal by the end of Sept. Here it is the beginning of Nov & I'm still just shy of it. I had a few slip ups along the way to accnt for that tho ;). I just started getting back on track full time at the beginning of Oct. I did have a 5lb gain toward the middle of Oct..so all these gains & re-loses account for my still being in the 200's almost 3 months later! My goal is still to hit 175 by xmas. I think a more realistic goal at this point would be to just hit the 10% mark of 194. I can't say I would complain about that one bit!
Well that's all for today! On to another glorious week in the battle of the bulge!
Ok so I wanted to make a post with all that I am attempting to accomplish during the month of November. I tried to make them as realistic as possible. Ideally, I would love to lose another 50lbs but that is just rediculous & will never happen lol. Ideally, I'd like to be able to walk 8-10 miles a day..again...very unlikely. So with that said..here are my goals!
Goals for November * Walk atleast 2 miles everyday - not much, but realisitic * Lose 8-10lbs - again realistic * Work out for 30 mins @ least 3 days a week * Drink more water * Get to sleep no later than 11pm/up no later than 9am * Join WW online (again ) * Order the BodyBugg!!!
Some of those I will do without a doubt. I am ordering my Bodybugg system with the digital watch on Monday! Excited to death about that . The other thing is, I am def joining WW online again on Monday. I am going to give this my best shot! I cancelled my order for the treadmill today . My reasons for doing this are many, but the most important is that I do not want to order this machine..pay over $700 for it, then it just become a coat hanger within the first 3 months. I have a gym membership that I already rarely use, so why would having the gym in my house make me any more likely to use it? It wouldn't.
One of my goals in Dec is going to be to commit to the couch to 5k program. Another goal in Dec is going to be to look into the Cardio Coach program. I have reserched it online & have listened to demos. Just the demos alone make me want to get up & move so I think it would be a wise investment. Give me a little push when I'm at the gym .
Hope everyone had a great halloween & is having a great weekend!!
Ok buddies. I’m having a really bad moment right now . I was cleaning out my purse & decided to switch all my pics over to a new wallet. Now ever year we have family xmas pics taken at walmart to send to family & friends. I have them all way back to 2002 in my picture wallet. So as I was saying I was changing them all out. When I got to the xmas pics from years past including just last year - I almost started crying . I really had no idea until just this moment, that I am so big. My face looks like I just come off the operating table with how swollen it is. The funny thing is last years pic I thought I looked over all, “smaller” than years past. I was wrong. I look exactly the same as all the other years . Fat, pudgy, bloated, whatever word you choose, I describe it.
Does this make me want to scarf down a bag of Doritos? Sadly no. It makes me want to never eat again . I’m scared to death that I will look at this years pics when they come in, & see little if no change. Even though I’ve lost 50lbs since last year. I just don’t see it, even if other people do. This has turned into quite a depressing evening for me .
*You’re finally going to start seeing some positive results, today — your current projects seem to all be turning the corner at the same time. And while you are certainly going to be busy right now, you are going to feel exhilarated by all of the activity, too. Your buzzing brain is feeding off all the stimulation, and it’s getting faster and smarter, to boot. This is not the time for slowing down — it’s time to hang on and just enjoy this wonderful, unpredictable and slightly dramatic ride!*
Sounds like fun to me :). This also just served to convince me that I am on the right track with my weight loss!
Everyone in our household is buzzing with activit of Halloween tonight. My daughter has been counting down the days since last week lol. She’s going to be a witch this year. She’s been some sort of princess every year for 5 dang years. I told her this year she needed to choose something a bit more exciting lol! I was a little dissapointed to see that after spending almost $30 on her costume, it doesn’t like up like it’s supposed to. Should have taken it back but it was the last one they had in her size :(. She didn’t seem too dissapointed that it didn’t & that’s all I cared about. Bubba isn’t going to be anything this year :(. We couldn’t find anything in his size. The one we did find was almost $30 as well & while my daughter will play dress up with her costume for as long as it fits…bubba will only wear his one night. Didn’t see paying all that for one night of use lol.
Anywho - hope everyone has a wonderfull time tonight & avoids all the candy…lol
Is not so much of a secret to those of you who have been reading my blog for awhile. For those that haven’t, well this is my tell all book. Read all about it. lol.
I started this wild extreme fasting diet about June & so far have lost 49lbs. Incredible? Yes it is. And seeing that scale drop by ungodly #s every week seemed to make it all worth it to me. The weeks that I went up, were only because I lost all self control for a few days that week & had MAJOR binges. I don’t “purge” or anything of that nature. I just omit food as much as possible. I drink whatever I want, so I’d say I was pretty well on a complete liquid diet there for a bit. Actually just until today.
I’ve started to read about ppl who are eating 1200-1400 cals a day & still managing to lose 2 or more lbs a week. I figure..why can’t that be me? I work out like crazy (when I grab my motivation) but I just can’t get my eating under control. Mine is the exact opposite of most “dieters”. My problem isn’t eating too much, it’s not eating at all. Then of course when I do, I go WAAY overboard.
So anyway, the point of all this is…I’ve decided to give weight watchers another go. This time I’m going to pay for 3 months up front so I won’t be tempted to cancel my membership at the end of the first month :). I have a lot of new things I’m going to be applying to my new lifestyle next month. I’m getting a couple pieces of new work out “toys”. One being a treadmill FINALLY, another being the bodybugg, & last but certainly not least a new “balancing” ball I call them lol. Now I’m debating throwing WW back into the mix. With all these new additions I think that I am finally going to get this girl on track! Now I realize that none of these will make any difference if I give up & lose my motivation completely. That’s why I’m going to count on myself & the help of all my wonderfull buddies here to keep me moving! Feel free to yell & hollar at me when I get off track!
With the bodybugg & WW as well, I’ll be tracking what I’m eating everyday. Now going from nothing to something - I’m sure I’ll have a slight gain the first month, while my body adjusts to these massive calories it’s not used to having. I won’t be discouraged by it. I’ll just keep my head up & know that eventually my body will catch up with the change. I can’t go the rest of my life days on end without eating. I want to be the best roll model I can be for my kids. I want them to see mommy making healthy choices & pick it up like a habit. My daughter already orders salads instead of chicken nuggets when we go to McDs so that’s a great step! They love excercising with me & I love to play with them.
If this is going to be a lifestyle change, than my whole life STYLE is going to have to change. My every day is going to have to be different. Start incorporating healthier habits into everything I do. From my weight, to my personal relationships, to my financial goals & relationships. Everything has got to undergo an overhaul. Life has stress, but how you deal with that stress is entirely up to you.
NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS BEING THIN (&HEALTHY) FEELS!!!!!
