Lost two pounds this week

Well, I'm at 176 today on my scale, I have not been following the programs very well, due to my medication, I have allowed it to be a bit of a vacation, but no more.

AS soon as my foot heals from the nail puncture I'm going to start exercising again, and I'm only eating when I'm hungry and i'm going to try and get in more water in a day, and keep an eye on points.

The holidays are coming and I don;t wnat it to be a free for all, and gain like 5 pounds from stuffing myself. I'll try to taste everything in moderation and enjoy the other traditions like spending time together etc.

Anyway.. that's my post this week. gotta go make my yogurt.

lost 3 pounds!!!

Well I have been busier this week then a one legged man in a butt
kicking contest that is for sure, so I must have sweated off the three
pounds I lost with the cleaning up the house for DD's birthday today!
<br>
I was so worried I would not get it finished, and I didn't but I got it
presentable and the rest I asked our guests to excuse, and I then let it
go and felt ok with it.
<br>
I made DD her cake of flowers and lady bugs and we had pizza for
supper.the two neighbor kids she invited could not come and she was sad,
but them a knock on the door revealed a surprise!( which I was keeping
from her) Favorite Aunt and Uncle from our old town drove in for her
birthday! they told me this AM on MSN that they were going to come and
hopped in the car and came out. She was so excited :) especially when
she opened the RC car they bought her LOL she is such a diverse child,
loving dolls and jewelery AND cars etc.
<br>
I was feeling great about my accomplishments and have overindulged in
the food today, but I'll work through it. My feet are sore from all the
work I've done this week, running the stairs and moving large pieces
upstairs into the den, unpacking boxes, shifting bookshelves, etc.
Including a full day in town buying gifts and running errands and doing
grocery shopping and picking up Sparks outfit in the Scouting store in
town.

Another week stuck at 184

Well I maintained again for a second week in a row. that is not good in
my view.

I did not exercise at all intentionally this week. It rained ALL week
and today is the only sunny day we've had in week,which was nicely interrupted by a hail storm.

I've been emotionally eating a lot this week to stuff the frustration
and anger I'm having, Dh and I have been arguing a lot this week because
he is tired and crabby, because we are trying to arrange some rooms in
the house and he dislikes any of my ideas. JUST ONCE I'd love to have
husband who doesn't care and lets me arrange the furniture the way I
want to. Also the communication issues we always seem to have due to my
ADHD and his lack of understanding it are there more then usual due to
the other stuff going on as well.

I feel like crap emotionally this week, and I've been over eating at every turn.

I want to crawl under a rock and just stay there, and not come out until
spring.

I need to get
a hold of my emotional eating and shake this off and get stuff done.

maintaining

well I stayed the same this week, still holding at 184. eating seems to be in check, sicne I am only eating when I feel hungry it helps.

I didn't exercise as much, been really busy with the boat and having a hard ADHD week of getting motivated, being clumbsy and scatterbrained. This is likely due to my period which is minimal but back again ( gotta love depo provera sometimes the way is messes with your system). I tried roller blading on tuesday, but it hurt my lower back adn hips way too much, though I did break a sweat pretty fast. I think I'm liking walking much better.

Self analysis would seem to be saying that becasue it was tuesday and not monday I didn't go wednesday ( two days in a row is too much it feels like) and then Thursday got too busy. I should have exercised M, W and F then changed it to T, T, S but faltered on the rest of the week when I only did half the exercise on tuesday due to sore hips.

I find that if I don't stick to my schedule then I'm all messed up and lose motivation. I can;t do that, i NEED my routine. so I'm taking it easy until monday then I'll be penning in exercise on monday wednesday and friday in my day planner, if I write it in my day planner I'll do it.

I maintained at 184 this week, that is good. I'm only just looking at the weight now,...184 and thinking that that is actually really good!

I've been in such a funk lately that I have not even realized what it means for me, it means that I have lost 26 pounds since Bubbies was born.

I went through some clothes and found a few things I can wear again, including my Adidas jogging suit, so I can wear it while walking again.

I'm feeling a bit of a cold coming on, so I'm sitting here drinking a lemon garlic and honey tea, i made one for hubby as well.

Kids have runny noses as well. and hubby has been getting a cold since the wedding.

Starting a new challenge from now till Halloween

I am starting today fresh from a horrible food wise day yesterday!My WW list is having a challenge from now until halloween. I'm hoping it is the motivation I need.

We were invited out to hubby's aunt's campground for the labour day roast beef dinner outside with about 200 campers...well it is not an excuse but my plate was dished for me and brought to me and it was loaded like a mountain, the baby ate from my plate though he only had peas and mashed potatoes.
I ate all the roast beef ( smothered in gravy, goodness only knows how many points that was) and I ate the peas and corn and the tomatoes and cukes slices, but it seemed to go downhill from there, it was like I gave myself a license to just blow it, I'm so foolish sometime, cause the whole time I did it I was thinking, I should not be doing this! i ate two pieces of cake, then came home and ate blueberry preserve with bananas. I drank regular coke and not a lick of water yesterday at all!

Yikes what a bad day.

Onto a better day

Exercise

Well I did my ball pilates on Tuesday and went for two walks this week aside from that, not been following point TOO closley but trying to be mindful.

Hopefully a maintain or a loss will show tomorrow on the scale. we'll see. Trying to get water in as much as possible, not getting ALL of it in, but am getting mroe then usual.

trying to figure out what to make for dinner with limited food in the house is hard....low fat or not finding somethign is a sturggle. but I managed to figure out a veggie cheeseless pizza with a homemade crust and salami. Hubby and dd loved it. It was really tasty, I think I should make it more often, has fresh garden onions, tomaotes, greenpapers on it and mushrooms. it was delish :)

Hope my weight in tomorrow is good.

trying to get back on track

I didn't follow points, but I know I'm under as I had only a cheese sandwich today then had a mostly fresh salad and chicken without skin dinner at hubby's Aunt's place. On our way back from a freecycle pick up we stopped in at her place and were invited to stay for dinner. She loves the baby to peices ( 4yo DD too of course but takes the baby out of my arms as sson as I walk in the door :)

( if you have not heard of Freecycle yet check it out and join a group at www.freecycle.org help save the planet by keeping perfectly good stuff out of your land fill.)

Drank about 6 points in coke there, but that's ok, drank 3 litres of water today!!! Yikes! feels like I'm pregnant again going to the bathroom so much.. I just sweated my butt of doing garbage and recycle for the last half hour, now sitting to rest.

Didn't get in my "intentional exercise" but I broke a sweat for over 20 minutes.

nursing points

 


Not doing very well on the points system, have not followed it, eating too much take out late at night, not exercising, cannot lose the pregnancy weight if I keep this up.


 


I know it works when you work it, so I cannot figure out why i am emotionally NOT doing this. i ahve done it before.... Grrr this upsets me a bunch. I even ahve an extra 10 nursing points a day to eat right now. Grr. maybe a little at a time and I NEED to reread the dr phil book and get motivated.


 


I am loving taken care of my sweet baby boy though. :) he is a living doll... who just pooped, yikes, gotta run.

It's April 2ND!!!!

Yikes where did March go?

my goals this month are to actually FOLLOW the WW program and read the DR Phil book again.

*My April Goals:*
*read a page a day in the book.

Exercise in some way 3 times a week intentionally ( bike, ball pilates, walking now that the weather is better with DS's new stroller)

follow WW as close as possible

I'm am not as plugged in as I should be lately, this trying to get a grasp on the ADD thing has sort of taken my attention and anyone who knows anything about ADD knows I am probably hyper focusing on trying to understand ADD more, and finally know myself better. Kind of made me put my weight on the back burner ( not good cause I gained 4 pounds this week.) but on the plus side of trying to make a schedule for myself, I DID actually get on the bike once and exercise for 20 minutes

My hips/pelvis are hurting a lot, still post birth healing going on i think, I need to go slower perhaps.

kick start

my week is not going well. I am not really counting points, but not really eating over them too much either I don't think. But I have not been motivated enough to do any real exercise yet either.

I got the living room clean enough to push the coffee table out of the way to do some ball pilates but I have not done any yet. have not found the tape or been motivated to do any.

I was feeling pretty sick yesterday and my energy level is down. I spent the most part of my day with an upset stomach and running to the bathroom with the severe runs. Seems to have subsided for now, I hope DS does not get whatever it was that made me that way, he seems fine and is breastfeeding as normal, but I'm worried. I had weird dreams last night too ( always do when I'm sick) that my breasts dried up of all my milk and they were really small and hard when I went to feel them to see which one to start him off on. So now I keep being worried that he is not getting enough milk.

I need to keep reminding myself to drink enough water.

We went to see Robots tonight and I had a few handfuls of DD's popcorn and shared a small drink with her but that was all.

I need to get motivated and start exercising again but I just can't seem to "find the time" ( lame excuse I know)

I need to read the book but I'm having a hard time finding the time to do that as well and have now stuck it in the bathroom since it is the only time I can catch a few minutes alone ( more so the last two days then usual) Sorry if TMI

Anyway... i need more than a kick in the butt i think...

attacked by an easter bunny

I'm just getting back on track here though as I just gave birth to
my second child, a son, born on feb 2nd.

I am breastfeeding him so
I am on nursing points and following the old Winning points
program, as I have the books still and it works and well, it's
free. I get my support from this list and from reading dr phil
rather then at WW meetings in real life. IT just works better for me.


That said, I have gained two pounds this week, I was attacked by a
chocolate easter bunny in the department store yesterday

it was awful!!! He attacked my shopping cart and when I tried to tell him to get out of of there that I didn't want him, he jumped up in my face and his ear landed in my mouth!!!! The rest is history, I took him home and ate him while making supper :) come to think of it actually he WAS my supper, I cooked DH and DD some supper, I was too full on choco easter bunny to eat any more.

Just printed off my chart for next week to count my points and am planning on getting off this computer and doing Some house work so I can do my ball pilates in the living room tomorrow, Wednesday and Friday. ( that's my exercise commitment for the week.)


I Definitely need to follow my points better. But I can tell that
I am not taking is seriously yet. Trying to get the kick in the
pants I need to do so. hard after a 9 month free for all vacation
from counting points and exercising regularly.

I'm back

Well I decided today that I'd start with following points tomorrow.

I'm nursing so I'll be eating 32 to 37 points, and NOT 3 boxes of
cookies in a single weekend liek i just did this weekend munching
while flitting about the house!

I'll do an official weight in when I get up tomorrow, I have dusted
off my books and printed my quicktrack points calander for the
week :)

I feel positive about starting over, so I know it's time to do it
now and not wait unitl I see more weight gain and then feel i HAVE
to follow it.

I'm going to try and get 10 minutes of intentional exercise in three
times this weke to start off slow. Thinking I'll probably do the
stationary bike.

Once I'm back on track and in a schedule with that stuff and getthe
living room clean enough t do my ball pilates I'll be dusting off
the video and starting ove

I can;t wait :)
