weigh in

I am happy to report i did weigh this morning. I couldn't help it. It is an addiction. I haven't gained any YAY but i havent lost any. I am praying and working actively for 6 pounds over the next two weeks. I did well last night, and so far so good today :)

PS for today

I am scared to weigh! I will weigh next monday and give you an update! I need a week of doing well again before i get completely discouraged. Started off with a wellness walk this morning with my fifth graders.

getting back on track

Ok so i started doing all this and in the middle of it i had an attack of tremendous pain!
I have been off track. I found out that I had an internal hernia and had to have surgery. Then after surgery i took my fifth graders to Washington DC and ate enough junk and fast food to kill someone!!!
So I am now starting a new day and getting my eating under control. It also didn't help that i bought that addictive cheese puff popcorn stuff on friday and ate the entire bag OMG what was i thinking? And last night Jon and i feasted on McDonalds! What we NEVER do that!!! So i am uterlly disgusted with myself!
You know how you feel when you eat nothing but crap for days? I feel fat, and greesy and just disgusting. So i woke up this morning determined to get back on track. I had one of those Kashi bars for breakfast! YUMMY!!! and i am getting on track with my water again today.
I HATE that Bloated yucky feeling. I have to admit i got really discouraged when i had to have surgery! I was like...What? I have been doing so well how could something be wrong?
I cannot lose this battle! I can't let food control my life. I don't want to be 300 pounds. I want to feel good, look good, and want to live my life and not be wieghed down and tired. Summer starts for me in a week and 1/2 How can i exercise? any tips... maybe a morning walk with the dog? A swim with my kids, and plenty of bike riding.

sick

ok so i have to jump back on the wagon after being so sick i felt like i might die!!!!! I did lose four pounds during that, but i am sure those were just pity pounds. Alas i didn't make it to losing my 10 pounds by my birthday. BUT I AM NOT GIVING UP!I now have a bike, that as soon as this crazy rain lets up i am going to ride daily.
I will have to be honest. The illness i had was due to diet. I told the doctor i had been drinking water, and eating A LOT of fiber and not eating between meals. She was unimpressed, as if i was lying to her, because she said that there is no way i could be doing that. BUT I AM. i guess i need to just step it up a little bit. I need healthy choices all the time. stay tuned for weight loss totals tommorrow.

Weekend disaster

so i slacked off this weekend. and I didn't lose any weight, in fact i gained two pounds back. i was very discouraged this morning. But i ate like a pig this weekend so what do you expect? I went to Heathers and i thought i did pretty well i had one plate of food, and a piece of cake but i went home and ate popcorn. Then i had a wedding on Sunday. Again only one plate of snacks, and i didn't even eat the cake. UGGGG
i know i have to pick myself up again and start fresh today! i know the key is exercise but i can't seem to fit it in very well right now. So much for the 10 pounds by my birthday :( but i will get right back up and keep on going. It is great that i feel so good that keeps me motivated.

Step it up

So i am doing really well. But i know i am going to have to step it up a little. i am glad i am back on my pattern of eating right. I am still feeling really good. I am not eating myself to sleep. I mean really i had fallen back into some REALLY bad habits. I also am saying no to eating candy all day. It is amazing how little i will eat, just so i can have something to drink. Because i know if i eat something, i can't drink for an hour.
I am really excited because my dad is going to let me use his bike. Jonathan is picking it up today! I can't wait. Now i just need to teach Alaina how to ride so that she isn't always behind us on a scooter.
Goal for the rest of the week: Ride my bike at least 3 out of the next four days.
Keep up my water
Nothing sweet Friday or Sat
I want to lose those 10 pounds by my birthday. That is just exactly one week away, and I have 4 pounds to go. YIKES

Yay 2 more

Ok so the last you knew i was starving. But I pushed through. And when i got on the scale Monday I had lost two more pounds! YAY!!!!! I am still doing an amazing job of getting all my water in. And not eating between meals. I even had a wedding shower this weekend and didn't gorge myself.
I got a little side tracked and thinking is this worth it, but then i saw a picture of myself on Facebook that was taken on Sat. I just look unhealthy and like i am carrying extra weight. Soooo i got right back up again and started out well this week. I have to add more exercise still but i am making good on my water and food choices. Let's just hope this works :)
