I started painting the house and I lost sight of my goal. I really need to learn to multi-task. I gained 5 pounds back! As of right now I am doing the South Beach Diet again. I'm on day 3... so far so good! Today I was a little hungrier than normal.... I think it is because I exercised and because I am bored. I'm getting my blood sugar back in order. I have had NO energy for the past 2 months and I think it's because of all the junk food I have been consuming! Since I haven't been eating any bad carbs, I have noticed a spike in my energy like nobody's business!
By the way... My aunt gave me a Nordic Track Eliptical machine! I've been using it every other day. I like it because it's right in front of the t.v. in the middle of the living room. Can't help but to look at it and say, "Hey...I need to exercise today!"
Anyways... post more later!
"gobbler"This past weekend and up until today have been pretty busy. I'm suprised with all of the pizza and other crap that I have been eating that I was still able to stay at 189 lbs! I'm super excited about it! Hopefully I can keep it up!!
There were many reasons why, but the main reason was because I had gained so much weight that I couldn't get my rings off anymore! I had to get them cut off! :( I can get them repaired, but I want to wait until I am at the weight I want to be at before I get them re-sized.
Other reasons were the basics... I was insecure, none of my clothes fit, I was out of breath all of the time, and I knew that I wasn't at all healthy.
Here's to looking good and feeling a little more better each and everyday!
Today I think that I am going to have a "spa day". No, I'm not going to the spa... I wish. NO MONEY! But, I'm going to give myself a manicure and pedicure and that kind of stuff. It should be nice if I can keep my kids out of my hair today.
I was so excited this morning when I stepped on the scale! 190! WOO HOO!
I think I've been over doing it with the walking the past couple of days. Tuesday, Wednesday, and today I walked about 10,000 steps each. I have blisters all over my feet, I have a rash where my legs rubbed together when I was walking, and I am wore out! I just wasn't in a good mood today. I think that I am going to slow things down a bit. Maybe I will take 5,000 steps a day instead, and every now and then go for the 10,000. Maybe when I lose more weight I will be able to handle the 10,000 steps.
Other than that, I have been doing really well with eating. I am still following my rules that I set. I am still at 191.4, but hopefully I will go down more soon!
I weighed myself this morning and I have lost 6 lbs all together! Super exciting!!
This woman on 1,000 Ways to Die on Spike Tv ate tapeworms to lose weight. She lost a lot of weight, BUT she died. Doesn't seem worth it does it...lol. Here's the link to the video... http://www.spike.com/video/die/3128459
Today was a hard day for me. Aunt Flow visited me and with her she brought cravings for everything in sight and boiled blood in my veins! A combination not to be messed with. My son decided to throw a huge baby fit because he didn't get his way about something and I wasn't having it with the way I was feeling. I yelled at him and and he threw an even bigger fit. Then, my toddler stared to throw a fit too, so I sent them both to bed early. After that I wanted some wine, BUT I resisted! Tomorrow is my day for that and I am sticking to it! Cheers to SELF CONTROL!
I know that this regime that I'm working with now is going to work so much better for me simply because I AM NOT RESTRICTED! The gym didn't work because it was too far of a drive and it didn't work with my schedule. Diets never worked because I don't like to be told what I can and can't eat. That nasty lemon drink didnt work because it tasted like SHIT! With what I'm doing here, all I have to do is practice portion control. I can eat pretty much whatever I want. I try to limit my sweets until Saturday. That is my "pig out" day. I don't drink any wine until this day also (everyboday that knows me, knows that I LOVE WINE). I drink TONS of water to help my kidneys flush the toxins. This gives my liver the ease to do it's job... metabolize fat. I eat LOTS of fruit! It satisfies my sweet tooth and it's healthy. Veggies are also a big part on my menu.
I've grown an appreciation for walking. I love walking up and down our little road because it's right by a creek and there is lots of shade. There is a lot more scenery than a gym's four walls. I also have re-discovered my passion for riding a bike. I rode bikes all of the time when I was little. Now I get to share this experience with my son who has just learned to ride his bike!
I'm excited and look forward everyday to obtaining my goal of weight loss!
My weigh-in this morning was 193.6 lbs. I've dropped 3.4 lbs since last Thursday!! That's a start right? So what have I been eating? I've been eating pretty much anything I want in moderation and no desserts with the exception of Saturday which is my "off" day... I can eat (chocolate) and drink (wine) as much as I want on that day. I've been drinking water like CRAZY! I've had to pee like every 10 mintues! As for exercise, I've been walking a mile every morning with my mother in-law and after dinner I've been riding the bike with my son. Today I wasn't able to walk or ride the bike because it rained ALL DAY, but tomorrow is another day.
My energy is sky high and my attitude is determined. I am so into this goal right now and I am not EVEN thinking of stopping now!
