I can't wait until we are moved and getting back into the swing of things. The first 2 weeks I did Wii Fit I lost 7 pounds!!

Stood in kitchen for 5 minutes talking myself out of eating when not hungry @4am when cooking for dh-success!

getting back on the horse is difficult

I always chose the hardest times in life to jump back on the horse it seems. I'm so busy packing the house to move these days for our move in less then 20 days, that I don't have time for any intentional exercise. I have always known that intentional exercise of at least a half hour 3 times a week is the cornerstone to any weight loss for me. It seems that no matter how much housework, running the stairs etc I do in a day, those toning and stretching and bending exercises won't cause my body to burn the excess fuel I've stored on my hips unless I raise my heart rate well and maintain it for some time.

It's just something I'm going to have to endure until we get packed and moved into the new house.

So in the meantime, I'm taking it one baby step at a time, and focusing on my water intake for the month of November. Maybe by the time December rolls around I'll have a new habit of getting in at least 4 waters a day, which is about 4 more then I'm getting in now.

the other habit I need to make now is that I'm NOT going to eat ANYTHING 3 hours before bedtime anymore, and I WON'T eat anything past then that is not a plain easy fruit or vegetable, if I get hungry between then and breakfast time.

Feeling tired took no R today-did 1hr of yrdwork-had a pop @K's,need to drink some water

has it been two years

I'm embarrassed right now that it has been two years since I've posted here. a lot has gone one, and well for two years I've not given a crap about weight loss, being healthy, or losing the excess weight. Maybe at some point I'll fill in some spaces of the events of the last two yers. but needless to say I've been coping with life by eating.

With med changes and not caring and lack of intentional exercise I now weight in at 209 pounds.

I always swore that I'd never let myself get over 200 pounds, so I cannot let this go on...I need to get back on track, have some self control, and not give in and just emotional eat when I'm tired and stressed out with life daily events.

I've dusted off my sneakers, and plan to get in more exercise through packing to move to our new home, wii fit and walking. I'll watch my daily caloric intake and follow good gidlines that have been successful for me before, and I'll post here as much as possible to keep me accountable.

I'm making the promise to myself right now that I'll post all my food intake and my exercise here as well as my weekly weight in in order to remain accountable.

Starting now November 6th:

Starting weight 209 lbs
Goal:150 lbs

Today I went to the city for a dr appointment for my daughter and we were late so we got there without meals. and ended up being there a very long time. as a result today I only ate a whopper, that I could not even finish all of because my ritalin makes me nable to eat very well. so I put it aside, and ate it later this evening on the way home. My first intake was at 4 pm, the second at 9 pm. and then at 2:30 am realized i was absolutly starving. I counted my intake for the day and I had enough value left for my daily intake to have a rib burger with cheese. fast and dirty, and not the best choices, and not the best times of day, and the starving technique does NOT work, but at least I did not eat over my daily intake maximum.

Not fretting, no looking back, better decisions now. Looking forward.


Now I'm gonna go to bed, right after set up my cell phone to send my blog 140 character updates. It'll be like tweeting my blog but allws me to leave my twitter for all subjects and this will just be for the weightloss journey.

7 pounds down!!!!!

Since the middle of march I have been exercising 3 times a week, and
eating reasonable food with dividing my plate into 4 section and eating
lots of veggies and drinking my water.

I've lost 7 pounds and I'm back on track! it feels good. it took a while
and the motivation was low for a bit but I'm back at it! WOOHOO

I don;t thin I'll be counting points or doing WW anymore. It taught me
about good foods with low points and how to incorperate exercise and
water etc, but I don;t feel now after three successful weeks of no
points that I need Weight watchers anymore, Ic an do this on my own with
mindful eating and sensible portions, I've proven so far that it works.

At least I always have it as a back up if I slip or fumble, but I think
I got it!

WOOHOO

Down 4 pounds

Since my last post I'm at 182 this week, a loss of four pounds in two weeks. Right where I should be right now. a 2 pound loss a week is a good place to be in.

hopefuly I'll keep it up, and start a habit of this weight loss thing again.

I've done Tae Bo twice this week. I should do it today too, but I don;t knwo how I feel yet about that.

It is amazing how hormones can really effect your over all wellbeing, I'm more clumbsy, more tired, more brain fogged the last few days due to monthly hormone shifts. Craving carbs more as well.

Trying to get my butt in gear for the day.DD wants to go skating this evening. I just feel like sleeping.

Back on the right track

I took a look today and am showing a 2 pound loss this week.If I stay
mindful, my official weight should be good on Saturday.

I've been trying to stay within points, though going over a little when
absolutely starving.. I wonder if this is because Bupba ( my son) is
still breastfeeding a LOT for 13 months old ( about 6- 8 nursings a day)
and I'm following my regular point plan.

I've been drinking herbal teas to get in my water, and also drinking
crystal light, and that helps a lot.water is always an issue for me.

I've been cleaning the house like crazy as well, trying to gain some
peace with organizing and minimizing on the junk,which is good exercise
on top of my regular daily stuff I do, and today I did my tae bo video
for the first time in a month! it felt good to do, but I could tell Iw
as out of practice as I got a stitch in my side from the workout, so I
slowed down just a little and made it through the end. it felt good to
do it again and I hope to do it every day, working my way up from 3
times a week, then 4 then 5... etc. so in a month I should be doing TB 7
days a week.

We have also been dancing every evening after supper for the last two
nights as a stress reliever for the whole family, DH is the DJ playing
the Mp3's and the kids and I dance while I do the dishes and such.Last
night with bupba in my arms, he and I did the polka, and Anj danced a
jig for us in the dining room...a good workout I'm usually breathless
after! got to be at least 1 AP if I'm being cautious to count.

Trying to remain mindful and working on my emotional eating habits the
most, as that is my biggest issues.

On points so far today, and getting ready to make supper.

yoyo

This is a graph I made of my weight since jan 2004. No granted the gains have all been due to my pregnancy with my son. but I have been just hagning out around 186 now for the last year. ( he's 13 months now)

I'm rereading dr Phil's book and forcing the habits, since will power DOES NOT WORK.

I ate on points today and I'm now starving...cause I ate poor choices and filed up thsoe points fast.

I ahve not done any intentional exercise today yet and it is 10:42 pm. But I've been deep cleaning the house and just spent a half hour in my daughters bedroom, cleaning crap out from behind her bed and sorting stuff out.

I'm going to start from here and get back to my goal of 130.

I'm going to drink more water daily.
I'm going to follow my points system.
I'm going to exercise 3 times a week.

a step in the right direction

Well for supper to make up for my chips, i had a salad all zero points,
with a can of tuna ( 2 p) with a tbsp of light mayo ( 1p) and a tortilla
bread ( 2p) which I wrapped up and had. I added garlic and onions and
cayenne pepper for the benefits of the herbs, and drank 28 ounces of
zero point homemade lemonade with it.

Hopefully will get in 2 Ap's later as well.

IF i get hungry or feeling snackish at all I'll have an orange or apple
to keep the points to a minimum

Two steps forward, three steps back.

Well Saturday for was a bust for exercise. I was just too busy and tired by

the time everyone else settled down. Did a lot of house work i was avoiding.

Water and eating were ok though...Sunday was another story...I sucked at eating,
I'm not sure how I'm going to handle the sweet craving thing...but it is
seems related to not taking my Ritalin. I didn't take it today at all.
and I craved sweets so bad and had three small donuts. I'm going to
need a pill case with a beeper or something.

I did my exercises yesterday though instead so I got 2 AP's... still not
enough to cover the donuts, popcorn chicken and perogies for supper I
ate. On the Up side I got in a lot of water.

Still some areas needing working... but a little at a time or else I'll
just feel like chucking the whole effort out the window.

Today I started off goo with water and an apple... but then while playing Nintendo monolopy with DH I ate potato chips and the one portion I had was not enough because I didn't stop and savor the flavor, so I ended up eating 20 points in potato chips. I have 5 points for the rest of the day, so I guess I'm eating low low low points for supper. Breaking out the veggies and salad.

I'm hoping to get my Tae Bo exercises in every day this week.

Gained two poinds

It was obvious that it would happen, I ate too much at the beginning of
the week and had much more chocolates then I should have.

Doens;t matter though, I'm feel more positive, and drinking water every
day, journaling everything I eat, even if I go over, so this is the baby
step I need to start seeing results soon.

I'm house cleaning to day because I have neglected it mostly all week
doing minimal stuff, and it needs to be done, those will be good AP's,
and then later, since it is my exercise day I'll do my Tae Bo video
workout as well.

Tae Bo

Ok This is the second time I've done the 8 minute Tae Bo workout, and I have to say I really like it!!

It only takes 8 minutes ( plus warm up) and with the kids and hubby needing me so often for so much in a day, trying to fit in a 20 minute workout, or a half hour on the bike was impossible, but I can actually get this work out done. And WOW what a sweat I break.

Though it may sound lame, the fact that he walks up to the camera and talks to the viewer like he does to the others in the workout giving encouragement, it makes it feel personal, and I found myself actually working a little bit harder to show him I could do it! LOL

Only time will tell if it is effective but the website shows testimony of it working, and since it is actually fast and fun, perhaps I'll actually use this one enough to see results.Perhaps Ic an find the time to do this 8 minute workout every day instead of just 3 days a week.

I'm starting to get a little better motivated, since today's eating has been in control. A few days of better control with the eating and exercising and I'll be back in control again.

Hopfully this is the swing upwards from being in the dumps, and i'll see some healthy results from getting and staying motivated to make healthier choices.
