Lazy Jane

 Well, lets just say  I don't remember much about yesterday - woke up not feeling great and had several errands to run.  It's amazing how my moods change - One day I'm patient and easy going with kids, next I'm ready to ship them off to Mexico!  This has alot to do with my health and energy level I'm sure.  Didn't have any spare time to exercise yesterday, so today I have no excuse plus the weather is a bit warmer. 

This morning for bfast - one egg on one slice whole wheat bread with slice of 2% milk cheese.  I think a piece of fruit would be good for my energy level, yet didn't go there....my a.m. binges have consisted of drinking a whole pot of coffee and powdered cream and splenda.  This I know isn't good or healthy, yet I'm having a hard time fighting the long time habit/ritual.

lunch sloppy joe sandwich - deer meat, tomatoe paste, slop joe seasoning on whole wheat buns 1 1/2 slice 2% milk cheese

Another big motivation in my life is my Mom.  She's had history of not taking care of herself - food, cigs, alcohol and lack of exercise.  I've pretty much (not purposely) followed in her footsteps with the above (exception of alcohol-unless occassional binge drinking socially -VERY COMPULSIVE WITH PLEASURE TYPE THINGS - VERY WRONG!).  Yet she has had some extreme life changes - losing her job in Manhattan and moving to Houston which is closer to us (I'm her only child) in an apartment that she's inlove with.  She's seeing more sunshine and has lost almost 15 lb without trying hard but she's been happier.  I'm very proud of her and quite shocked to tell you the truth - Someone who has been miserable and angry for so many years has become positive.  She still hasn't found a job, yet has high hopes.  I hope she remains happy when she does find employment.  It's amazing how different we are, yet how similar we are at the same time.  Her steps to being healthier definately makes me think twice about myself - Like our little support groups here, we also need those physically around us to help keep us inspired and motivated. 

A blogger friend had mentioned Overeater's Anonymous and I'm still interested yet haven't made the steps to research it locally.  To anyone who reads this - I wouldn't mind knowing your story if your involved with the program.

Walked on treadmill 30 minutes :)

Dinner  Light Asian Sesame Seed Salad with sliced almonds

2 fish sticks/1 chic nugget

my inspiration

 "Never underestimate an 80 year old woman"

 I'm not sure how to show the link - but if you go to UTube or google and check this out - You'll see a wonderful Salsa dancer who is extremely fit and energetic - Our all time goal!!!

Oh yea - my current foods today

oatmeal (added sugar) (small portion Amber didn't eat)

1.5 egg on 1 slice whole wheat bread

Coffee/powdered cream/sugar -- need to go to store for splenda!!


Lunch Penne pasta and baked chicken cheddar cheese block and 2 slices of whole wheat - too many carbs-

Dinner - (more carbs) pasta and miniwheats cereal with skim milk

good "thang" is that I did fit in exercise today.  Didn't realize how long it's been since I did kickboxing, but didn't last the whole show, but then walked some on treadmill and worked a little on abs.

Messing up my hope

 Well, I did it - I didn't know how to limit my wine intake on Friday night and loaded up on tons of calories.  I should have done better today, but also could've been worse - like before I started this.

I won't let this get me down - focusing on healthier foods has to be my priority and exercising has to be a given!!!

There is hope

 As of today, I've lost 5.5 llb.  I have made better choices but plan on cutting down in portion sizes.  Lunch or dinner I feel too hungry and eat too much too fast.  I'm excited though because of the few pounds lost.  I'm thinking of not skipping snack time, so I won't feel so hungry by meal time - I just started my walking program and it's still early, so I haven't reached the point where I have more energy yet - I'm still groggy and tired and lazy, but plan on perservering through all of this.

Tonight, me and my husband are eating out, so I need to watch the portion size and fat intake - I ended up eating more for lunch than I needed.


Later in day.....eating at LePizzaria tonight - I ate cereal a couple of hours ago - so I'm not hungry - I have to be aware of not filling myself - I'll be happy with a few bites, then take home the rest! 

Shins are sore from walking - Three times this past week, keep it up Jamie!!!!!

food diary working - still challenge

 Now that the food log works, alot of the foods I eat aren't on it.  I guess this is good, it makes me look at the cal/fat content - i just have to make the extra effort to add to custom.

Good news is junk food "Grandmommy" had bought for kids this past weekend is gone, bad news is I helped eating it!  Went grocery shopping last night - I'm set on eating healthy and now have to commit to walking again - regardless of the cold weather - no excuses.  Inside or out - at least 30 minutes to start walking or something.

I have a good incentive to stay motivated, not only by logging daily and reading blogs, but our anniversary weekend is coming up.  I want to be an ounce (more like a couple of lbs) more confident with my health by then.

logging food

 For some reason, I'm not able to log the rest of yesterday's food.  However, I did pretty good - chic breast and pasta for dinner.  2 small scoops of light icecream afterwards..

Today, just in case can't log - reese piece cereal and skim - not good choice - fell the low afterwards.

lunch - tuna salad - whole can - my body acts like it's starving due to changing so drastically the type and amounts of foods I've been choosing.

Big Weekend Coming

 My stepmom is coming in town this evening and staying until Monday.  I'm going to enjoy the little bit of time we'll have together,  and I'm excited about the weekend.  While my stepmom will be here with the kiddies, I'm going to Houston on Friday to help my Mom get some things done with her new home. 

The only concern I have is the eating/drinking/smoking - all of which I'm compulsive with.  I pray His strength stays with me even though it will be almost like a minivacation.

changes already

 So only a couple of days of cutting back on food and spending quality time with husband has made a difference.  I've been an emotional basket-case recently but have a different attitude today.  I've noticed cutting back in eating and making the quality time with hubby - he acted more affectionate towards me.  So obviously - I need to make a mental note - it's not how I look right now, it's how I'm treating myself (healthwise) on how he treats me..

The exercise hasn't been included due to sick bug and now a busted knee.  Last night I had a fright .. As my husband and I were watching an intense action thriller movie, my kids were in their bedroom when I heard what sounded like one of them choking or not being able to breath.  I jumped up, and litterally flew across the living room after slipping on one of the slippers in the middle of the floor and had a hard impact to the floor with my knee.  As my husband was walking past me and me crawling ahead to see if he or she was okay - they were all looking at me amazed.  One of them was just making the strange sound, so I had a little anxiety attack imagining one of them not breathing.  Needless to say my knee swell up like a tennis ball and we went back to watching our movie.
