Well, I had such a good and productive day yesterday! However, last night I couldn't sleep to save my life! Brian and I tried to go to sleep around midnight, but I was TOOOOO wired. I think it is the medicine. I love it because it makes me feel normal, not heavy, but I think that is what kept me from sleeping. I will see what it does tonight. Although, I may be so tired tonight I may not be able to sleep again. it is amazing how the body works like that. The more exhausted you are, the harder it is to sleep.
I am a little confused about what I am supposed to be eating right now. The dr. said just cut down....which doesn' tell a whole lot. He seems a lot more concerned with grams of fat rather than calories and I figured I should be watching both. Although, people on the Atkins don't worry about either. It is so hard to know!
So, I haven't started exercising yet, I really don't know what to do. W/out help with the girls I really can't go anywhere to do any exercise, so I will have to find something on TV to do. I don't know what, I guess I can Tivo some stuff and see what strikes my fancy. He said 1 hour of cardio a day....which just blows my mind! I which I had somewhere close to walk, but the gravel road doesn't seem condusive to that. I gues we will see what works.
Hubby and I are back again! He started last month and has already lost 18 lbs....wow! I went to the dr. yesterday and he told me not to gage my sucess w/ that of Brian's (in other words, women don't lose near as much as men as quickly). That is okay, I will do my best and be happy.
First day, today. Waiting to wake up the girls. They decided they didn't want to sleep last night and so it was after 9:00 when they finally konked out. I am going to wake them up now (7:50) so they will take a decent nap this afternoon and not be CRANKY when we head to town for some deliveries. Wish me luck!
Wow....I am so tired. Brian has been out of town and I usually don't sleep well when he is gone and I am SOOOO tired. 2 nights in a row and then poor Molly with her rash made it 3 once Brian did make it home. Uggggg. That is confirmation enough that 2 kids is ALL I want. I just don't think I can go through that late night sleep deprivation stuff again.
However, in all that I have done well on my diet. I have been too busy to eat. Had ladies bible class and then lunch with the parents, and then the girls had doctor appointments. Unfortunately they had to get their shots yesterday.....bummer! They were troopers, which was good since I was by myself!! Sweet things.
They are still snoozing so I may lay down for a few minutes just to rest before they get up. Once they get up, they hit the ground running and I better be ready too.
Wow...I have gained rather than losing since I first signed up with extrapounds and I am so diappointed. My husband on the other hand has long 57 lbs and I am SOOOO proud of him. We are getting ready to go to Baltimore, MD and I litterally have nothing to wear.
As a stay at home mom I get in the rut of wear work out clothes(not that a lot of working out is going on), or just lounging clothes so I really never know what I can or cant wear until I need to go somewhere. Pitiful! I am trying to get ready to pack to leave and I have nothing! So I am pulling out the old diet again and trying again to lose all this extra weight.
I put out some comments on some sites, asking for support. My husband is great, but as a stay at home mom he doesn't get that I walk past the fridge a minimum of 100 times a day. Everything just calls my name! I am a food aholic!
Well.....yesterday was a good day. I finally got around to cleaning my house which always makes me feel better. I didn't get to exercise, but cleaning for 4-5 hours I thought should be enough to get me out of one day of exercise! A good day, although we are going to the zoo today with the girls for the first time ever and I know today will be a day of cheat....so let's hope I can keep it to a minimum.
Well, I woke up this morning feeling great! My husband has been helping me lose weight this time and he has lost 9 lbs. I better keep it up or he is going to end up losing more than me! It really does help keep me focused when he doesn't want to cheat. I just haven't exercised in 2 days! That is my no. 1 priority today! Exercise and water, water, water!
Thanks to one of my budddies for encouraging me to get back on track.. I didn't do so well this weekend, but I feel like I am back on track now. It is just so hard to stay on track with goodies from birthdays and holidays.
Well, I had a good day! A really good day! I felt like I needed an attitude adjustment all day, but I didn't cheat and I drank my water and I exercised. Wow at this rate I just may lose all this weight. Of course Sunday is my husbands 30 birthday so we are going out tonight to the movies where I know movie popcorn will be calling my name. I may just have to skip lunch and every meal on Sunday as well. I love movie popcorn. There is none better!
Well....cheated again! I am very disappointed in myself. I cheated yesterday and started to cheat this morning, but my friend called and talked me into a walk and out of a breakfast burrito. It felt kind of good making a positive decision about what I eat for once. It's good to have a friend who understands. I am not doing so well with my water, I have got to do better with that. Well, off to clean house. Today will be a better day!
Well...actually starting last Thursday. I officially had my first cheat day in less than a week. Not so good! Sunday....I cheated...shamelessly. Now, I can safely say I am back on track. I am reading this fabulous self help book, a first for me (I guess in the past I didn't think I needed help....just kidding) and it is really positive and helpful. Awaken the diet inside...or something like that. I can't remember the title, but I remember everything it says. Throw your diets out the window because this is your life, baby. Your life! Your decisions and you are the only one who can lose the weight for you. Fabulous! Wish me luck!
