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.
