Me now. Hopefully not for long!!
So it has been 2 weeks since I have lost any weight! I am frustrated because I have been working really hard doing my 4 fast mile walk with Leslie Sansone EVERYDAY!!!! I have been keeping a log of all the food I eat and try to stay at the 1200-1300 calorie mark a day! Why am I at a stand still?!!!! I should be losing weight! I feel really good! I have lots of energy, but I'm frustrated it's not causing me to lose weight!!! I need some motivation!!!
So, I have been so tempted lately to eat my sons mint oreos. Especially when I give him 4 for a snack and he only eats 2!!! There are 2 left staring back at me, saying EAT ME!!!!! I have the choice to put them back in the bag or eat them! So far I have been good and not eaten them, but I don't know how much longer I can do that! LOL! They smell so good!!! I haven't gotten to exercise as much this week cuz I have had a bout with a cold that left me really tired, but I ate really good this week. I stayed within my 1200-1300 calorie goal every day! But man those oreos keep haunting me saying EAT ME!!!!!! I even put them in a totally different cabinet than all the other food! In fact the only thing I have in that cabinet are the oreos. That is to prevent me from remembering that I have them in the house! LOL! It works for the most part until my son wants some! My weigh in day is in 3 days! Since I didn't exercise hardly at all this week I don't want to mess my week up by eating oreos!!! I know an oreo here or there won't mess everything up but since I didn't exercise this week, I don't want to eat them!
So I was all excited in my last blog about weigh in day because I ate so good last week and I did my new WATP dvd EVERYDAY!!!!! I was for sure I lost 2-3 lbs!!!! But I only lost 1 lb. I was very upset at first but then I kept thinking at least I lost something! It was just frustrating that I put so much effort forth for just 1 lb. But maybe I gained some muscle as well because I was awful sore from that dvd! I didn't get to exercise on Sunday and Monday like I usually do cuz I was out of town...plus I didn't eat the greatest either! But I start eating better again today, although I don't know if I should exercise cuz I caught a cold this weekend. Its not real bad though so I might try exercising! I just don't want to overdo it and then get worse! So I might just take it easy today and eat well.
So, I haven't blogged in awhile cuz I've started back up working when school started. Anyway, I got the new Slim System from WATP. It has a 2, 3, and 4 mile fast walk on them. I started doing the 2 mile and love it!! It's so much fun! I have 2 other WATP dvds from Leslie and have enjoyed doing those in the past, but I really enjoy these new dvds she's put out! They are more high impact aerobics and I feel like I've burned tons of calories after I get done doing them. Not to mention the amount of energy I feel after doing them! I started and exercise group at our church so we are going to start doing these videos when we start back up in Oct. I have lost a total of 7 lbs. since the end of July and I am hoping that when I weigh myself this Monday that I will make it to a total of a 10 lb. loss. I am really excited to weigh myself becuz I've done so good this week and all my close are starting to get baggy!! YAY!!! I will try to write Monday...well probably Tuesday since Monday is Labor Day to share my weight loss!!
I am so excited!! I didn't weigh in on my usual Friday weigh in because it was that time of the month, so I waited until today! I was pleasantly surprised that I lost 3 lbs. making my weight loss so far 5 lbs.!!! My job has started today so I was a little nervous that I was going to not eat well because I served them pizza for lunch and then a snack. I was afraid I would eat both pizza and the snack, but I wasn't even hungry when snack came a long. I did eat pizza, but I'm planning on going home and exercising to hopefully work some of it off! LOL!
Well, like I said it my last blog yesterday i went to a waterpark and knew I would splurge on eating. I feel a little guilty because I didn't have to splurge as much as I did! I did really good for breakfast and lunch. I ate cereal for breakfast and a chicken salad for lunch, but dinner I had pizza, french fries, and mint choc. chip ice cream! YIKES! I didn't eat all the pizza cuz it was kindof not that great, but I ate all the fries. As for the ice cream I didn't need it and I didn't eat all of it either. I licked it a lot and when it wasn't getting any smaller I cut off the top of the ice cream so I could get down to the cone...my favorite part! LOL! But in my defense I walked and climbed so many stairs my leg muscles are sore today!!!! The water park wasn't packed at all so we didn't have to wait but 5 min. or so to get on a ride. So in climbing up the stairs to get to the water slides there was no stopping! Well, that's not correct I had to stop once to catch my breath!! LOL! Anyway, I guess if I calculate all the walking and climbing stairs I probably didn't end up too bad by the end of the day! But even if it was bad everyone needs a bad eating day every once in awile to keep them sane! :)
Well, the past two days have been going pretty good! I have been doing pretty good at exercising every day. Today I Didn't get to exercise as much as I would have liked but at least I did some. I walked a little over a mile and had planned on doing more but forgot about going to my husbands softball game. But while we were there I did chase after my 14 month old a lot to keep her from wandering away! LOL! I've been doing good with eating. Yesterday, I made french fries for my husband and son and I ate broccoli and carrots instead. It was REALLY hard but I didn't even eat one! I was proud of myself! I knew if I ate one I would want more and eat too many so I didn't give into my temptation. I felt good!:) Today I had 2 small pieces of store bought whole wheat veggie pizza and a salad. I know pizza isn't the greatest but this one had some healthy things about it... 1/2 the fat of normal pizzas and less calories, so I didn't feel too guilty. Plus they were very small pieces. Thursday we are headed to a water park and know I might not be able to eat the healthiest so I might splurge a little that day, but since I don't normally eat that way I'm not going to feel bad about it!
Well, I have been journaling for a week and watching what I eat for 2 weeks! I feel really good and have done really good today especially. Usually I don't workout on the weekends because my husband is home and don't really like working out in front of him ! LOL! But I popped in my Walk Away the Pounds Express DVD today! I was surprised that I could do the full 3 miles but I did! I have been riding my bike alot lately so I think that helped! I feel stronger and boy do I sleep really good at night!!! I love feeling this way...energetic and more confident in myself! I have only lost 2 lbs. but feel like I look like a million bucks just because I feel so good! I know I can do this! I only have 30 pounds to lose! I just need to stay focused!
I wonder if I'm setting myself up for failure. In a week school starts back up. I run an after school program so i provide an afternoon snack for the kids when they arrive. Last year my problem was giving in and eating the snack. For the most part they are healthy snacks but can be bad if you eat too much of them. My problem is that I eat because food tastes good not because I'm hungry. I have been doing so good not eating a snack in between lunch and dinner (of course we eat dinner around 4:30 or 5 pm). I am so afraid when i start back to work everything I've beeen working hard at is going to be a waste. I don't know, if I stick to a 1200-1300 calorie diet and exercise daily I can have a snack in the afternoon, but not in the evening then. I love my evening snack! I just wish I had lots of self discipline when it comes to food. I find myself giving in too easliy sometimes!!! I don't know maybe I'm worrying too much over nothing, but then again maybe I'm setting myself up for failure. I guess there is nothing I can do about it I just have to take one day at a time and pray that God will give me the will power to say no to food when I don't NEED it.
Well, it's been five days since I have journaled. I did good today eating! I still have to take my son on a bicycle ride around the neighborhood although he is only 4 so we make stops often! LOL! When the kids go to bed I will try to venture outdoors for another bike ride...without the frequent stops!:) I feel good exercising regularly and sleep REALLY good at night. I find myself reading other peoples blogs and when they write about the food they eat during the day my mouth salivates...even at the healthy stuff! LOL!! I'm trying very hard not to concentrate on food while I'm not eating because if I do I give in very easily. So when I get tempted I try to busy myself with something else so I will stop thinking about it. Welll, it was a pretty boring day! It was a good eating and exercise day but still felt a little boring! LOL! That's life sometimes though! In a week I go back to work (School starts) so that will help keep me entertained! LOL!!!
