I am Out of the 300's

Friday, January 13, 2012

YAy so i got on my scale for my weekly weigh in and I had lost another 3 pounds. But I was not all that happy at first. i began to beat myself up and ask myself why wasn't it more! Just because it was an emotionally hard week I should still gave it 100% but then someone reminded me we are not and do not have to be perfect all the time. I did the best I could this week with the things thrown at me and I still made progress. I should and deserve to be proud! We don't always have a high number right after a fairly large number and this inst about how much weight a week its about living healthy! Which is exactly what I am trying to do. I didn't pig out this week hen my emotions were at their worst! I worked out instead or took a hot bath and read a good book! Even had a few good hard cries. I didn't just give up! I made a promise to myself that I would continue cooking healthy food for my family and only allowed my hubby to get take out one time this week and that was subway so fairly healthy and we had it with side salads. So i have to say i am very proud of my progress this week! I am finally out of the 300's visiting the 290's and looking forward to meeting the 280's very soon!

Its been an off week but I am trying!

Tuesday, January 10, 2012

Due to some family stuff going on it has been a highly stressful week! Its been hard one day my calories will be too low and yet today they re over by 100. I took yesterday as a rest day from working out and boy did I need it! Today's workout was short but I took a walk as well and that felt so good to be out in the fresh crisp air walking and just letting the stress melt off of me! All i can do is do the best with what I've got and keep pushing through! I am drinking all of my water and even more then that and I haven't binged even though i am at a high stress level which is what i usually do when I am feeling emotional! These problems will pass and I want to be able to prove to myself that I am living a healthy lifestyle and this is not just another one of my yoyo diet phases! I can do this and I will do this!

At least I got my workout in and drank my water.

Sunday, January 08, 2012

So today has been a rough one emotionally! I am having some problems with my son and it is causing a lot of stress in my household. But I am trying to stay on track. I got my workout in early afternoon and oh yeah it was a good one! the sweat was dripping and flying the whole workout. I drank 12 glasses of water since water is really the only thing I drink unless I have a cup of herbal tea. But I did not get all of my food in I am way under my calorie requirements because of stress.
I Roasted a turkey breast for dinner and baked sweet potatoes and served green beans and cranberry sauce. I had just sat down to dinner when my son had an episode and all hell broke lose in my house. So by the time all the drama had ended my food was ice cold and I had no appetite. I cleaned up dinner and have yet to eat but am thinking maybe I willa t least eat a yogurt before I go to bed. I know its important when burning calories to make sure I get all my minimal calories in but when you can't bear to swallow what are you supposed to do. I know tomorrow is another day and it will be better but his fit just left me physically exhausted and all I can think about is bed. So I am telling myself I did as good as I could for today and will do better tomorrow! I know I have said no excuses but i cannot force the food down my throat. I find it kind of funny I am upset about not eating enough when in the past and what got me here was eating too much. He he he

I turned a Really Stressful Bad Day into a Good one!

Saturday, January 07, 2012

So first thing this morning I get a call from my Sons grandparents. He was staying the night there and just happened to mention to them some things going on with him that i was not aware of. So they brought him home early and now I have to take him to the Dr. For an evaluation. So all morning I was severely stressed out and worried. I had a bad case of the What ifs! His Dr. Said not to stress to much we will not know anything until tests are done and it could be a number of things or just not being able to cope with teenage stuff. Yeah right tell a Mother not to stress. So After my son and I had a long long talk I figured out that this situation is probably more attention related but I will get it checked out! So after all of this had gone on did I reach for junk food? No I have gotten rid of it all cleaned it out of the house! I put in my workout DVd's and went to work! My oldest daughter even jumped in and was doing the Walking workout with me. I then sent her upstairs and jumped it up a notch and did level two which included hand weights! OH BOY DO I FEEL IT! The workout was harder I was soaked in sweat and exhausted by the time i was done! But I felt so much better!
I later made a very nice dinner of sockeye salmon, brown rice, spaghetti squash and a salad with radishes, tomatoes, and mushrooms, and nonfat italian dressing!
The kids and Hubby loved it! and I once again was proud of myself for feeding them a healthy dinner.
I am enjoying finding healthy meals to feed the family! And i am so Proud of myself that I am finding heal;thy was of dealing with the stresses of life that are thrown my way! It makes me think maybe I can do this! What am I saying I am doing this!
So tonight I am going to cuddle up next to my Hubby and watch a Movie and enjoy that I turned a bad day into a good one!
