I walked 3.7 miles in 1 hour, 3 minutes. Definitely not the quickest time, but it was a decent walk- speed and length. I felt great doing it, I didn't even intend to be gone so long, but I just got walking, listening to my music, praising God, praying, and the time just slipped away! I know I got a good workout, and now I'm still watching what I eat, I know I'll conquer this weekend with God's help! Good day!
This week has just flown by, or so it seems! I can't believe it's Friday already! WOW! Weighed in at 226.8 this morning, so I'm back on track with my weight- I was afraid that my "bad" days would have messed me up too badly so I hadn't weighed since Monday, but I'm at least on track. Maybe I can squeeze a pound or two out before WI on Monday! LOL
I plan on going for a walk in just a bit as my exercise. I don't know if I'll exercise twice today because I have a lot going on, but who knows! Eating wise I know I'll be ok, because there are no chips or cookies in the house- YAY! So that battle won't be so bad!
Have a great weekend everyone!
Things are going much better today. I opted to do a partial fast today to help me get back on track. But dinner will be chicken salad, probably carrots or string cheese, something along those lines. And snack tonight (after Mistic's t-ball game) will be cantaloupe or grapes (or both! LOL) I went for a walk this morning, did some strength and plan on going for a bike ride when hubby gets back from work. I figure I need the extra exercise ESPECIALLY since I've done so bad lately.
So I won't even get into how yesterday went. Despite encouraging words and suggestions, it was horrible! I'm struggling with a lot of emotional things here, so since I've always been an emotional eater that was just one added thing to TOM. But I refuse to give up or get discouraged. Todays' a new day and I've outline how the next few days need to go for me, and told my husband... I'm also keeping in mind that I really want to be 219 by July 7th, but I also (in shorter terms) REALLY want to see 224-225! I don't remember ever seeing those........... I think that's what I need to keep in the back of my mind. Too bad I can't put a bright green neon post-it in my mind!
Ok, so THAT time of the month is here... and I've been shoveling in carbs and sugar as quick as I can! I KNOW I don't need it, but with the cramps and cravings it's just too much! How do YOU combat this???
After literally taking hits from the chocolate syrup bottle all day yesterday, I'm happy to say that I seem to be back on track! LOL I didn't weigh myself, I'm thinking I won't weigh myself until next Monday, but I don't know if I'l make it that long. I'm an obsessive weigher... daily, each morning, but that's it! Not a billion times in one day!
I made it for my bike ride, was gone for 27 minutes, then I did some strength training. Not sure how long and it wasn't as long as I wanted it to be, but I have four kids, I take what I can get! LOL Maybe I'll be ambitious and do some more later. Who knows!
I have to go grocery shopping. I really like grocery day, I can go pick up healthy snacks and foods to satisfy my cravings at the time and it gives me the resolve to keep eating healthy.
And God continues to provide! I was relying on one paycheck from Nick and I knew it wouldn't be enough to cover a full week of food, gas, and bowling on Saturday (it's a church event)... but got a nice surprise when some extra money came into play! So now I have enough money for food (or at least a decent amount of food), gas AND bowling! THANK YOU GOD!!!
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! *sigh* I think AF is right around the corner because today has been a day of munchies!!! And all bad munchies! I've even been taking hits from the chocolate syrup bottle all day! Also been carb-eating all day! *sigh* Ok, today is almost over, I'll make it and tomorrow will be BRAND NEW! *sigh* I can do this! I'm not stressing it, today was my WI, my "free" day and while I think I took advantage of it there's nothing I can do.... I did do a few minutes of strength today... tomorrow's plan, go for a nice bike ride and do some strength training. AND EAT BETTER!!!
Thanks to everyone who commented on my pictures from yesterday. It gave me a boost that I needed! THANKS!!! I'm so excited at the possibilities that I see, the NEW and IMPROVED me!!!
Today I went for a 37 minute walk, I felt great!!! I came home and ate a bowl of apple cinnamon cheerioes. Yum- yum!!!
And the scale reads............... 226.8! YAY!!! I have a mini goal of weighing 219 by my 7th anniversary (July 7th) so that is TOTALLY in my grasp! Only 7.8 pounds to go to that! All my hard work is paying off!!!
I was feeling really good today, so I had hubby snap a pic or two before church.... Scale read 227.? which is pretty cool! I feel awesome about my legs though..... I think they look, um, HOT! 
Just to put these pics into perspective, back in mid-April my 5 year old snapped these pics... I was about 10 pounds heavier. I think, while there may not be a big difference in the scale, I see a big difference in the pics. What do you think?
And just so you can see how far I've come.... this was back in Sept. 2006. I was allllllllllmoooooooooosssst at my heaviest of 290. I was probably between 270-280lbs.
