I failed myself this week

Last week I was so sure that I was going to get out of the 170's and I gained 1/2 a pound..I think I get a little more frustrated every day!!  I've been exercising some, not enough, but some and really watching what I eat, except for the cake that my mother made yesterday!!  I'll blame it on the cake, yeah, that's it!!

Maybe by next week I'll be out of the 170's!

Goodbye 170's!!

Ok, I've had a bad couple of weeks, luckilly, my weight is still the same.  I've been fighting with 2 lbs, one day I'm at 171, then it jumps to 173, it's been back and forth for a week or two.  This week I am making myselft get out of the 170's!!  I am promising myself that next Monday when I weigh in, it WILL be in the 160's!!!!

I have to do this!! I'm sick of being fat!!!

Bad Weekend

I was doing so good....I've lost 5 lbs!!  My downfall was last night, we had Chinese and today, my mom made a big dinner and homemade sugar cookies....uh oh!!

I swear I'm going to the gym this week.  I've been telling myself that for a year now, but if I'm going to do this, I have to add exercise. I bought a Denise Austin video to use with my ball, I'm going to try it tomorrow...I hope it's good!!

I try to post my weigh ins on Monday, so we'll see what tomorrow brings!

I think I'm finally on track!

My new year is starting off great!!  Well, it wasn't a great new year's eve, I had a horrible cold and got a migraine on top of that, but that's all in the past now!

I've lost 2 lbs, and am on track to lose a lot more.  I'm religiously counting calories, I'm eating more fruits and veggies and my desire for junk food is almost non-existant!  I fixed a bowl of a great dessert that my mom makes and I couldn't eat it!!  I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the cold, but if I don't want it now, I shouldn't want it later! 

I had big plans to start working out last week, but since I was sick, that has been put on hold.  I did a few crunches the other night and I dance around the house with the kids a lot, so I do get some exercise.

I'll post my next weigh in on Monday....keep fingers crossed that it's gone down again!! I'm really, really trying this time!!

Frustrated with myself

Well, I could kick myself in the butt!  I've gained 3.5 lbs.  It's been pretty stressful here, though. We got hit by the ice storm and our power was out from 11 p.m. Thursday till 3 p.m. on Saturday.  We had to go stay at the inlaws (all heavy), so there was tons of food and nothing to do but sit around and eat.  My kids are missing day 3 of school today because power still hasn't been restored to all of town yet.   I'm going crazy and turning to food for comfort.  NOT GOOD!! I'm trying to make myself get back on track starting today.  Keep your fingers crossed for me!!

Not doing very well

Well, Thanksgiving wasn't good for dieting! Combine it with PMS and you can guess how my week has been! I've gained about a pound and a half....My main problem is that I keep telling myself "There's always tomorrow" but at the rate I'm going, tomorrow will be too late.

I know it's only been 4 days

I thought I was doing so good. I was exercising and really watching what I ate...Got on the scale yesterday....lost 2 lbs!! Woo hoo....nope, got on the scales this morning and was back up the 2 lbs....this is soooooo frustrating!!!

This is all new to me!

I've never written a blog before!

I have 4 children (the reason I am overweight).  When I was younger, I lost the baby weight quickly. Now, I'm over 30 and can't seem to knock off the pounds.

I joined the gym back in January, but I haven't been. Shame on me!  I'm going to go next week, even if I just walk!

My kids shouldn't be forced to have a "fat mom".  I'm going to fix this for them!!
