Happy Friday

Good morning girls. I get to go home tonight woohooo. I should be there around 6:30 if all goes well. I didn't exercise last night, I was afraid I would have an asthma attack and my inhailer in at home. I did however really watch what I ate and that was good. Have a good day and I will check back tonight.

Detox on Chocolate

I havent had chocolate for 3 days!! I am sooooo feeling the need right now. I have a box of the hershey 100 calorie sticks that are only one point but I am afraid to open it! I dont think I would stop at just one! Today was good! I did awesome on my points and exercised! Went on another 1 hour walk with the dogs and Bruce and we also did some upper body weight training! Ouch! I thought this week would be hard because I am not in school so I have alot of free time on my hands, but it hasnt been and I think its because of all of you! Thanks! I am so glad we are doing this!

Had a good day!

Yesterday I did good on the food and exercised at the hotel for 30 minutes. Today, I had a small breakfast, 1 slice of pizza (the company I trained brought in pizza for lunch), and now I am going to have a low-sodium V8 with some Kashi Go Lean dry cereal for snack before having supper. I plan to exercise after I eat tonight. (Kashi is giving me gas. I thinks it's all the fiber! LOL)

Stressed out....but OK I think

So yesterday was ok, did good on eating for the most part, not too good on water, but will build up over time. My biggest problem.....stress......if I ever doubted I'm a stress eater, I will never doubt it again! My son got in BIG trouble at school yesterday and I so wanted to pig out!!!!! Was pretty good though, got cheese sticks from Arbys, I figured protien right? After my Arby's I did go and exercise, not sure if I did my 20 min goal (forgot to look at the clock when I started) but did walk 1 mile while waiting for Katelyn to finish basketball practice. So I felt pretty good about that. Still the need for chocolate did not go away, so after supper, (Taco Salad, with doritos) I had a leftove chocolate Santa from Christmas. Really need to go thought the house and get rid of all that tempatation.

Today I weight again and lost a few tenths of a pound, I'm pleased that there was a change, after my day any thing is better then nothing. Same goals for today exercise 20 min, Eat right, hopefully contol my stresss eating.

Pleased with my day..but not the scale!

Today has been a good day!! Its 7pm and I still have points to use! Wohoo! And as far as exercise goes. I got on the elliptical 3 different times today each time for 10 minutes, and Bruce and I walked the dogs for an hour this afternoon. I have a feeling I will be feeling it tomorrow in my legs! Ouch! LOL but its worth the pain. I got on the scale yesterday and was very discouraged. I have gained more weight than I thought. I am still under the heaviest weight I have been but I have still gained way to much. Saturday is my day that I go to weight watchers so I will be doing an "official" weigh in then so I won't be putting up any weight loss totals on here until next week. Depending how how that weigh in goes I may be changing me weight loss goal to 55 or 60! Thank God I have all of you here to help me through it!

My Confession

I got on the scales on Monday and I am going to post my weight because I know that will help get me motivated. I weighed 207 lbs. That is the heaviest I have ever been in my life. (Including when I was pregnant) I did not do very well yesterday at our last family holiday dinner, but I woke up this morning with a fresh start and so far so good. I'll let you know later if I succeed, I will be traveling for the next 2 days. My goals for the next 14 days, exercise 30 min each day, and never clean my plate.

I Did It

Ok, I did the dreaded stepping on the scale thing this morning. I wasn't pretty, but not as bad as I thought it would be. Still I have a long way to go. For now I'm just going to focus on the small goals, exercise, and eating better. So here's my plan for the next 14 days:

Exersice 20 min everyday (since I've been super inactive I figure this is a good start.
Eat a high protien low carb diet. (My Aunt gave me a protien powder drink mix that she used to lose weight on)

At the end of 14 days I will re-evaluate and deside where to go from there.

Have a great day everyone

New Start

Brief update for yesterday! I ate good, stayed with in my points but I did not do any exercise. I got involved in watching the Biggest Loser, Australia marathon. I couldn't help it I love that show and it was kinda cool to watch the entire first season on Australia's version. Today again I have totally stayed within points and drank all my water. The marathon continued today but I had Bruce move my elliptical machine into the living room, I am more motivated to use it when its in there anyway, just jump on while watching TV. My goal was to go 30 minutes, but I only made it for 20 minutes,which considering I haven't been on it in MONTHS! 20 is good, after 10 minutes I was hurtin!! But I pushed through to 20 minutes. Then this afternoon Bruce and I took a walk with the dogs for about 35 minutes! So I did good with exercise today! Now I am just waiting for the new season of Biggest Loser, the American version, that starts tonite! Its couples this time so it should be interesting! Have I mentioned I love this show...LOL! Hope everyone had a good start to the new year!

Here's to a Great Year

Hello everyone, and Happy New Year! This is the year to finally get healthy. I know with your support I can do it. So thanks in advance.

Have a fun day!
