Sure is harder to get back into it but I'm getting there

This morning I got up early and took the dog for a brisk walk.  He basically runs the whole way.  Went for 30 mins and it felt good.  Tomorrow I'm going to do a tape whether biggest loser or WATP just something to get a moving.

It helps me all the way around.  Want to be down a few pounds by weigh in next Monday.  Already have lost some but since I missed Monday I want it to be more noticable.

Tonight is leftover nite so I'm going to choose the lowest in cals and also want to make a salad or some sort of veggie.  I got some fresh garden tomatoes from a co-worker and I LOVE THEM. 

Plus I'm going to try a new concept.  Only eat at the kitchen table.  Who cares if everyone else is in front of the tv.  I find I inhale my food if I watch tv while eating on a tray - NO more.  Going to see how this goes.

Have a great evening all

totally blew it....

Went to WW to face the music have not been logging or anything lately...

well it showed... up 3 pounds to bring almost to my highest weight of 200 pounds... 197 is almost there!

So back to exercising and I'm going to take tiny steps to get me back.  Like eating only in one place in my house... been doing the in front of the tv never realize how much I eat and how fast with that.

Starting slowly exercising - not full force dvds - just ab ball class and walking.

oh boy... did not take long to get back here.

Starting over again for a new me this time....

I have been so bad lately and it's showing.  My weight is slowly creeping up.  I feel it too, my clothes, I'm sluggish, just so many ways and I know this is not the way to continue.  So here I am on the edge of a cliff and all the dirt is giving way under me......... no I WON'T GO>>>>>>>

I know it's the day before the 4th but I choose the menu so why can't I get some healthy choices for cookouts?  I am the only one in my immediate family that likes potato salad and all that mayonaise stuff.  Do it for me.......

Here we go again.........

Starting over on my rollercoaster - day 2

Well I rejoined WW and I'm almost all the way back where I started.  This is day 2 and I'm so back in the program.  Trying to decide what to do for work out today, even if I just walk Cosmo for 25 minutes.  He's a terrier so he runs most of the way any how.

Feel better that I'm eating healthier again.

My goal is to be a size 12 by high school grad June 2009.

Back in the game

I made it through my first day on program.  I did NOT eat anything till dinner.  Was hard but I stayed on task. 

Today I'm going to do some sort of cardio.  I didn't get up early to do something at home so I will for lunch.

I just cannot keep playing with the same weight range it's discouraging.  But it's my fault I get lax after I hit 188.  No more I am not doing this.  Well that's my vent...

have a good day.

Where am I? My Pattern need to be in control of me

So I’m sitting here disgusted with myself that I’m back to 192 pounds.  It’s where I seem to always stabilize at, if I get lower to 188 I never seem to stick with that weight.  Nor do I get lower the 186 in the last 3 years.  Why is that?  I have a pattern I truly need to break.  I have no excuses now.  Holidays are gone, all the major birthdays, mine, his.  Valentine’s Day is nice but not a biggy for us.  My DH doesn’t buy me a box of chocolates.  If anything I get a card and maybe a candy bar – that’s not a sabotage for me I won’t go over board.  I’m not as much as a sweet eater as a bulk food, snack eater.  Plus I noticed I tend to stuff my face when I get home.  I need to change that pattern.  My challenge for this week, starting today is a few things.

1st Challenge

Not to snack before dinner.  I need to make a cup of tea or broth instead of eating Low fat chips, hummus and crackers, cheese slices, etc.  I tend to go for the high carbs before dinner.  What good is that doing? 

2nd Challenge

A better exercise routine – I need to up it.  Working out at lunch is good but I need to work out at home as well.  Even a WATP 15 min tape or bike for 20, something more.  Mornings are better but after work is possible.  Keep me from snacking, maybe?

3rd Challenge

Pick a recipe in WW book and make at least one a week.  Try a new meal every week.

I feel I’m not in control of myself and I need to be.  I also need to do this for me.

Plan Plan Plan

And

Focus Focus Focus

I can do this!

Week 10... I'm still in the game

Our WW class got cancelled but I'm fine.  I have a log and can still maintain my points in a food diary.  I know I gained weight from our weekend outing but I went back on program yesterday.  I got up very early this morning and worked out for 45 mins plus I have weight resistance class at 1 today so I'm in full gear!  I want to get back to the 80s and this time stay there!  I'm not messing around with excuses this time around.  I feel good and want to look good!  My BP was normal this week and I know it's from exercising and eating well.

Feel good - Week 9 Day 3

Last night I had a hard time for some reason.  I did eat a piece of left over Red Velvet Birthday cake.  I don’t know why?  I almost started to binge so I went upstairs and started watching my Netflix DVDs to stay away from the food.  Now I look at my food diary and just not worth the points, ougeeee!  I’m trying to decide what to do for cardio tomorrow.  I want to get up early and do a tape at home in the morning.  I have so many good ones.  I even ordered two more from Collagevideos.com.  If anyone has not seen that website it’s awesome.  A great place to order exercise tapes and music.  I ordered Tamilee Webb’s 2 new DVDs, you can use them in 10 min intervals.  Well back to work and I’ll try and decide what form of exrcise I should do, maybe Billy Blanks? 

Starting at week 9 and still on Program

wow,  I lost over 2 lbs.  Welcome to the 80s... just got there.  I avoided birthday doughnuts all day I deserve this lost at weigh in.  two and a half pounds and I'm at my 10 pound mark.  I feel so excited!  I'm actually doing this....

Week 8 and still losing...

I guess the slower the better!  I'm on week 8 and down a bit more.  I'm averaging about half a pound a week but that is fine in 50 weeks I'll be 50 pounds smaller!  Hey whatever it takes, lower is better.  I feel good about this and know it is working for me.  Something clicked this time around I don't know what it was.  Our meeting was awesome today very informative and helpful.  I'm so lucky we can have weight watchers at work.

It's snowing today and lots of it so better get on that road of white.
