Focused...AGAIN!

Monday, March 12, 2012

I'm gonna DO THIS! I have been beating myself up all weekend! I have been forgetting to eat then I get so hungry I eat anything I can get my hands on. That is BAD! I was trying to get to sleep last night and I was just laying in bed visualizing myself when I was thin. It only happened once in my life and it only lasted for a year. I did it the wrong way I think. I was on Weight Watchers and did really well by making sure I ate all my points for the day and didn't starve myself ... until I started starving myself. I am sure this is why the weight came back with a vengeance. Now I have to figure out how to lose the weight the right way and how to fight the urge to not eat. I am growing vegetables this year to get exercise and healthy foods to eat. I am hoping it will give me something positive to focus on instead of all these negative feelings I have. I am truly my own worst enemy...

We all tend to get in our own way sometimes, but it's okay! You're in the right place. Educate yourself on nutrition & exercise and make a few small changes at a time so you're not overwhelmed. You can do this! Report Inappropriate Comment

Slacker

Thursday, March 08, 2012

I'm slacking. I have been so busy and tired that I haven't tracked or blogged in a few days. I really need to make sure I have time to do these things. I keep trying to get my mind in the right place to do this, but I keep going the old comfortable way of just eating sometimes. I know it's counterproductive. I am back on track today so we will see how it goes.

  

BINGO!

Saturday, March 03, 2012

Today is Bingo day! Woo Hoo! My sister and I play bingo together every other week. We love spending that time together with no kids or men! LOL! But I am nervous. We also have dinner out before we go to the bingo hall. What if I can't stay in my calorie goal? Do I work out like a mad woman? I don't wanna keep saying "Let it go" because won't that make it a habit? I have a healthy breakfast and lunch planned for work today that should leave me room for a little indulgence this evening. Emphasis on LITTLE! It is still so early in the day to even be worrying about this! AGGGHHH! Oh well, therapy session ended... wish me luck! BINGO!

just remember slow and steady wins the race as sparks says.Take your time eating,try to drink as much water as you can before your meal.Just realize that you can take it with you.I would always finish my plate no matter what....NOW..I bring 1/2 of my plate home.I think we don't want to waste.Eat really slow,put your fork down every so often.Enjoy your time,take your time.

A Good Day!

Thursday, March 01, 2012

So my day is still not quite over yet (I still have to eat dinner) but I have been good all day and worked out. It is a struggle for me to eat like a "normal" person, always, but I ate a good breakfast,snacks, and a good lunch. I am having baked chicken, a baked potato, and salad for dinner. Yum! I didn't feel the best today physically so I took a nap when I got home then got up and worked out. I really feel better after the work out. Who'd have thunk it? LOL! I guess I will have to tell my husband he was right, once again. Great now I will have to hear that for the rest of the night! I am incredibly lucky to have a husband who is supportive and has loved me through thick and thin, LITERALLY. He is rocking the low carb diet. I'm glad he likes it but it turns me into a disgruntled woman and nobody wants that! I started reading The Spark today. I have gotten about a 3rd of the way through. I think I am going to implement the 10 min daily work outs. Let's see how long I can keep the streak going! Woo Hoo! Later!

I thank God everyday for him. I know how lucky I am that with of all the stress I have in my life,he is always part of the solution not the problem. We are truly a team! I think he will jump on the work out bandwagon soon, he's been making comments. LOL Report Inappropriate Comment

You are very blessed to have a hubby that is so supportive. Maybe challenge him to the 10 minute daily workout and see who can be the most consistent at it. Show him that girls rule!!!! Have a good healthy March and fill it with good healthy choices!! Report Inappropriate Comment

Blasted Binge!

Wednesday, February 29, 2012

Ok I totally failed today! AAAAHHHHH! I did great until lunch, then there was pizza and cake (for a retirement party). My well planned lunch went out the window. Then when I got home it was crazy! I ate everything that wasn't nailed down! (Not really but it seems like it). Now I have a tummy ache because I overate, (note to self... you eat too much your tummy hurts! DUH!) So I am trying really hard not to have those toxic feelings and just let it go. Tomorrow is a new day right? I hate feeling out of control. Now I need to try to figure out my triggers. I wasn't overly stressed today, I was in a good mood, I am a little tired. Maybe that's it, I need more sleep. What it boils down to is it's my fault alone that I am in this shape so I need to put on my big girl panties and get the job done! No More Excuses!
