The Gym
So, we went to the gym. I felt so out of place. I looked around and everyone looked so good and I looked so fat! I got on the Arc Trainer (the one where you move your arms too). I really had to push myself to even do ten minutes, but I did!!! I decided to try some of the weight machines. I started on the lowest weight setting for most of them. After that I did 20 minutes on the treadmill. After leaving the gym, I felt soo good that I had actually accomplished this. I pray that I can be strong and continue to do what I know in my heart is right and not become a lazy bum again.
I currently am attending school three days a week from 8 am - 12 pm. I plan to do the workouts on the days that I'm off school and also on Saturdays and Sundays. This would be four days a week. I am excited about the new beginning!

Happy New Year
Hello friends 
Well,
it's the new year, so you know what that means.. time to get back on
plan. I have lost by the WW program in the past. I know it works. I
have started again. Luckily my husband does the program as well. We
started on 1-1-10. I had my first weigh in today and I lost 4.8. I
was very happy about this. I am hoping (as usual) that this will be my
final start to a new and healthy me.
I am a member to the
YMCA. The monthly dues are taken from my account every month but I
haven't been there since August. I have been on my treadmill since the
Jan. 1st trying to get back into shape before heading to the gym. I
don't want to be embarrassed there by being in such bad shape. I think
my husband and I will go there tomorrow. I am looking forward to it.
I will update you all tomorrow after we go there.

starting again
Yesterday I signed up at Weight Watchers. I guess this is the fourth time. My weight was 179 :( yuck!!
Last week we were on vacation to Cancun, so I'm sure I gained weight there. I'm tired of the big bras and shirts and pants!!! I hate the way I look!!!

Only Thursday
I took a peek at the scale today, 161.0. I don't officially weigh in until Saturday morning. It looks like I've lost some already, almost 3 pounds. My husband has lost 6 lbs. Why do guys lose so much faster?
I took my blood pressure today, 108/80 wow.. We'll see how high it is in a few hours at the doctor's office.
So, this morning, I overslept. Got up about 7:30. The kids should have already left for school. I walked into the living room and Chris' (my 16 year old son) shoes are in the living room. How could he have gone to school without shoes? So, I went into his bedroom and he wasn't there. As I passed by the bathroom, I saw him laying on the floor. My heart was racing, what had happened? He said he was sick and fell asleep in there.. So, I called the school and told them he wouldn't be coming in today.
I think I pulled a muscle at the Y on Tuesday. My hip area, close to the left side of my back is killing me. Out of the blue it twitches and aches. I guess I did it on one of the legs weigh machines at the Y. So, I haven't gone since Tuesday. I will go on Friday again and see what happens. I guess I will ask the doctor about it today.
See ya!

Hair~wow
So, today I had my hair highlighted. It's amazing how good it looks! Why can't I ever make it look that good?!! I feel so much better about the way I look already.
Unfortunately, tomorrow I have a doctor's appointment. It's a followup for my blood pressure. Six weeks ago my blood pressure was 150 over 100 and he didn't seem to like that too much. He put me on additional medication. I have been logging my blood pressure since then to see if it has improved. Sadly, it seems like it goes up and down. It's never really the same. I guess tomorrow, we'll find out more.
My husband, my son and I went to the YMCA last night about 6:00. It was totally packed!! It was hard to get on a machine. I did the stair stepper like a pro for 20 minutes and then fought to get onto an elliptical. I did that for ten minutes. I felt really good afterwards. I had a good day of eating yesterday too.
Breakfast: banana--2
Lunch: Salad--3
Dinner: tuna salad sandwich-7
snack: one HUGE orange-3
I feel like I really didn't eat enough yesterday. I wasn't left hungry at all though. I am trying to follow the Weight Watchers plan and I know that was less than 20 pounts. It was probably only 15 points.
I'm doing better today though.
Breakfast: egg on a bagel with laughing cow-5
lunch: salad from Arby's with my own dressing -6 (?)
almond bar 3
100 calorie pack 2
subway 8
I feel so much better when I eat and live a healthy lifestyle.

Starting AGAIN
My husband and I signed up at the YMCA on 2/21/09. I have allowed myself to "grow" again. I now weigh 163.4. I can really feel that I'm out of shape. I could barely do ten minutes on the elliptical and the stair stepper. I did it though, even though it almost killed me.
We will see how this goes. I hope this site will help to keep me accountable for my actions. I went to the store and I bought some bananas, oranges and other healthy foods. I am writing down everything that I eat. This is no fun!! But I know in the end it will be worth it.
