I haven’t been here much this week because I was just not feeling well, but I am back and still doing ok. I need to get a bit better again with food, but I am not completely off base. I didn’t exercise as much as Igenerally do and I am feeling it today. But tomorrow is a new day

I was thinking about something earlier because as we all do, I started to get down on this whole losing weight process. I started getting back to this losing weight thing at the end of Jan beginning of feb. I took 3 weeks off when we were all sick. So in less than 3 months, I have lost 25 pounds! So when I am feeling like this is not working, I need to remember that. So anyhow, I just had to share. Sometimes this whole losing weight thing sucks. But I guess if we all look at it from another prospective sometimes, we can see the positives too (besides the whole getting thinner lol) Heck, the biggest positive is how I feel. I have so much more energy. And my mood is better in general. I don’t feel as depressed. And I see the future with me being healthier. It’s been a long time since I have seen that.

This spring break was not exactly fun for my 5 year old. Mommy still had to work all week. So, we tried to make it a fun weekend. Our area had a TON of free things to do, like easter egg hunts and planting plants, stuff like that. We also went swimming on friday.  My 5 year old also learned on to ride her bike without training wheels also. I was so stinking proud of her. Then yesterday we had my whole family over for Easter. So we had a pretty active weekend.

Unfortunately,  my diet suffered a tad. Such is life I suppose. I did learn that I need to preplan a little better when it comes to food. I need to make sure I have more snacks readily available at all times. SOMEHOW I didn’t gain any weight this weekend…boy am I lucky lol. This weekend is a new week

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

My weight went back down a bit…still 2 pounds above what it was. I am just frustrated because I thought it was tom for me. I had some spotting when I wiped yesterday, so I was like ok, that is why I am feeling like this. Then NOTHING now. NOTHING. I have pcos, so my periods come and go and are never on time. So I was excited thinking my diet and weight loss and exercise is really working and causing my periods to come on time. I just wish my body would make up it’s mind. All I know is, at least the scale went back down a little.

Everyone have a great weekend!

Ok, SO I AM GETTING SO OVER THIS. I tried to up my calorie in take yesterday thinking that is why I am not losing….so instead of the weight going down….it went UP. Up by a LOT. I sure didn’t eat 4 pounds worth of food yesterday, I only ate 1800 calories. Ugh, so back to the drawing board.
Hope everyone is having a better week than I am!

I am not kidding. all the weight I have lost is in my boobs lol Sad sad sad.

So I did my weigh in today and was very disappointed… I am down 1 pound. I should be excited, but  I am not. I keep thinking, maybe next week will be 3. Ugh. But 1 pound is at least 1 pound. 

Food intake was great today.

Hope everyone is having a good week!

and yet I haven’t weighed in yet lol I plan on weighing in after I work out here in a little bit. Every bit of sweat helps, right?

I did so much better with my food last night. My issue is, when I added up my calories, they were only 1100. I am going to keep a better track of calories to make sure I am getting enough. I’m not really sure for my weight how many calories I should be getting a day, so I will have to check.

Exercise yesterday was great. I did 35 minutes on the elliptical, some weights, and then last night, I did a walk/run for 25 minutes on the treadmill. It felt great.  I wish I could run longer than a minute. Maybe some day.

Hope everyone is having a good day!

I can’t seem to stop eating. I do GREAT all night and for dinner, then night comes and I am eating. I think watching the biggest loser got my back on track last night (we are 2 episodes behind lol) My weight hasn’t gone up at all, but I haven’t lost any weight this week. BLAH Stupid weight. I want to know why some people can eat anything they want and not gain a pound, but if I even LOOK at certain carbs, I gain weight. My friend loses weight just by exercise and I am sick of her right now. She was only 155 when she started losing anyhow, so never really over weight like I am. She is down to 129 and quite frankly, I don’t want to hear it anymore lol. I’d give a arm and a LEG to be 127 lol. I will never be 127. Oh well. That’s all from the boo hoo department!

goals- again to not eat past 7. If hungry, drink and drink and drink

continue with my water goal

continue with my fruit and veggie goal. I had 2 veggies and one fruit yesterday, not enought.

Well, our weekend ended with my daughter in the ER last night hooked up to an IV because they thought she had appendicitis. Ended up being a bad case of gastroenteritis brought on my antibiotics. I have never been so relieved for constipation and gas in my life lol.

Food was not terrible, but not good this weekend. I am trying to make sure to get at least 3 fruits and 3 veggies in…when I do this, it seems like the rest of my food goes great and I am less likely to eat junk.   Well, our weekend was crazy busy, so that just made it that much harder. So now it’s monday, I am back on track. I had a hard boiled egg and string cheese for breakfast, for lunch I am eating a chicken breast and broccoli and I am going to have an apple too. So that’s great. And for weigh in, 267 which is what I weighed on friday. So now weight loss, no weight gain. OK

I went to the Y and did 30 minutes, 350 calories on the elliptical. Then I did 30 minute rotation on weights. I feel great.

Goals for this week : completely keep all sugar (except from fruit) out of my diet, drink more water.

Hope everyone else has a good week!

Why do I let stress get to me???? SERIOUSLY. My kid is really sick, our weekend has been so busy, so then I ate crap all weekend. Also I didn’t get my fruits and veggies in. I just don’t understand myself. I am so close to a new weight range, and then I wig out and start eating like shit. It’s like I keep sabotaging myself.  I know it’s an emotional thing. I need to get my head on straight and tomorrow back to a normal schedule and normal eating. I hate how busy we are sometimes I tell ya.
