Stretching is a moderate way to lose pounds and burn calories. In terms of energy output, about 15 minutes of stretching burns about 40 calories. Over 12 months, this amount of daily stretching uses up a total of 14,600 calories per year: the equivalent of 4.2 pounds of body weight.
Yes - on and off has been my motto. Back in again - the exercising has been pretty good and I'm trying to get a handle on the eating.
Talked with friend/doctor this weekend and he said he wants to help me get healthier (quit smoking and weighing less)...He's willing to give me his cost of what the medicine is, to quit smoking and he mentioned adapex? to curb my appetite and increase metabalizm...I've always been weary of pills...but I AM GETTING DESPERATE! (sorry about incorrect spelling)
One more thing -- I thought of an ingenious idea this weekend and wanted to share....My Mom and I have Gmail and a webcam - Gmail is free to set up and you can buy webcams as low as $20. One way not to get bored while exercising (or walking on treadmill in my case) is to video call your friend and workout together. You can talk or workout in the video chat mode and you won't be lonely. This was a wonderful thought on how better to motivate and hold myself accountable with someone.
I'm not a liar ---- I really do have the greatest intentions, however I didn't do what I said I was going to - day before yesterday - I said no excuses, yet found one -- computer down for day 1/2, so hey -- don't have to blog!! stupid, but getting smarter with every mistake.
Bfast confession 
4 orange rolls - 8 grams of fat each!!! Wished I could reverse, but now I have to eat veggies and fruit for rest of the day. --- plannning to walk on treadmill 1 hour..
Yes, I admit it. I've purposely avoided signing on this sight due to falling into old habits with eating and laziness. Now that I've confessed, it's time to get back on track and log the foods and exercise - damn the excuses !!!!
Will return in the morning
I have been making changes in the way I eat such as -0- sweets, less carb snacks, and trying to eat three meals a day, however weight loss isn't in the cards yet..Exercising hasn't been pushed as much as it should and "cycle" starting any day now - so here we are. I'm still not letting myself go back.
Bfast - 2 small pancakes (biscquick, skim, and 1.5 egg)
One thing for sure - i'm not drinking hardly any water- lots to do with -0- weight loss too.
We leave tomorrow for our anniversary weekend 
I will still need to be moderate and will need to take advantage of my Mom's exercise bike while i'm there.
Lunch - in hurry - swallowed ham/cheese on white wheat sandwich within a minute, 1 chic nugget, and 4 baked skinny fries
snack - 2 slice of turkey/1 block of cheddar and small orange
dinner - deer meat chili/light red beans/5 corn chips, tbs sour cream, tbs shredded cheddar
10 oz. beer at the moment.......
Mom is coming from Houston tomorrow, then hubby and I are going back to her place for our anniversary this weekend....Yipeee!
I got alot done in the house today which I will count as exercise since sweating was involved - probably 6 hours of work....
Bfst 1 egg and 1 egg white on white wheat sandwich
Lunch - deer meatball stew - brown rice
Dinner - 1 medium piece of pepperoni pizza (frozen kind - thin crust)
Snacked a little during the day on sunflower seeds and dried banana
oh boy - busy day..
Bfast small bowl of oatmeal
Lunch (meatballs/brown rice/gravy) - medium bowl - in hurry - ate too fast standing up
Walked 1/2 hour - grouchy, tired, and tummy rumbling from hunger
Dinner - Tuna (light mayo and small block of cheddar cheese on 2 slices of whole wheat - most of a red jello snack - 1/2 handful low salt peanuts before 5 p.m., so tonight - no more food- lots of water.
It's been a few days now, and I haven't exercised, so I'll make a commitment now to walk or fittv for at least 30 min today and 10 min. abs.
Bfast - medium bowl of Koshi cereal and skim milk
Baby girl's left over bread from McGriddle 
Boy's left over sausage biscuit (4 bites) for bfast 
It's 2 p.m and I haven't eaten lunch, probably because of all of the a.m. food, but will stick to small portions and healthier foods for the rest of the day.
a few bites of Kushi cereal (without milk)
dinner - Meatball Deer rice and gravy (4 small meatballs - gravy - brown rice in medium bowl
Walked 25 minutes, abs 5 min.
I'm seeing the positive in not losing, and that's not gaining. I have been gaining more and more weight with each month the past couple of years.
I do have to cut back....My subconscious is telling me to keep eating until full because that's what I know and have been doing forever. In reality, I will definately live through not eating large amounts....speaking of....my bfast
2 egg whites, 2 slices whole wheat bread
medium size bowl of kashi cereal with skim milk
Thankfully, I wasn't hungry when preparing hubby and children's food which was deer sausage and alfredo pasta.
I had 4 pieces of chopped deer sausage on whole wheat bun and 2% cheese for lunch.
dinner - almost whole large can of tunafish (in water), light mayo, mustard, sliced pecans on lettuce.
Maybe I can get it through my thick skull that the pounds won't come off unless I downsize my portions!
Overeating defiles your own body, the Temple of the Holy Spirit with medical problems such as back pain, high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease.
•
When you eat anything to make yourself “feel good,” you reject and defile divine grace, the only source of goodness, and you subordinate the desire for holiness to the desire for self-satisfaction.
•
Overeating scandalizes children with the impious example of self-indulgence and gluttony.
•
Overeating causes you to carry around excess weight, thus wasting energy that could be used for productive labor.
•
Overeating drains the environment of needed resources. Food consumed in excess could be better used to feed the starving poor. Oversized clothing that covers an obese body could be better used to clothe the naked. Fuel wasted in transporting an obese body could be better used to warm poor souls shivering in the cold.
I did what is known as a big motivator. I put a picture of my face on a thinner body for the fridge and the car. Hope this will inspire me more! I tried to add to my photos but it didn't work.
Bfast Kashi GoLean Crunch (probably my favorite healthy cereal out there) (1 bowl)
skim milk 1/2 cup
