1/14/2013: A New Day, A New Year, A New Start

Monday, January 14, 2013

It has been a bit of a wild week. I have been adjusting to getting myself back on track. I did well during the week with ym food. On the weekend it was much harder to track. I spent time with my boyfriend and his family. There was nothing healthy there. I have to make sure I am more cautious with my eating. I did some working out and I know I need to do more.

I weighed in the morning. I did not like where I weighed in the last time. The floor was not very level. I found a better spot this time and think the weight is more accurate than the last time. It showed a gain of 5.1 pounds. I know I did not gain weight like that. I think the other weight was too low.

I have no idea what my progress was on the scale. I know I have a long journey ahead and I am prepared for it. I know I can do it. I am doing this journey one day at a time. I made my final weight loss goals for the year. I have eighty pounds to go to make my weight loss goal. I can do it. I can make that goal this year.

I had a bit of a rough start this morning. I had a hard time sleeping last night and it was hard to get going. It was quite cold this morning as well. The drive to the train station was filled with icy roads. I drive very carefully. I have all of my meals planned for the day. I will follow those meals and do a light workout when I get home tonight. I will not stress out at work today. Today will be a successful day for me.

1/8/2013: A New Day, A New Year, A New Start

Tuesday, January 08, 2013

Yesterday went pretty well for me. I worked out early before work. I had an issue with snacking. I snacked too much throughout the day and I went over in calories at dinnertime. I planned better today. I packed all of my snacks, breakfast, and lunch. I just need to figure out my dinner. I'm not sure what I want to eat. I'm leaning towards chicken noodle soup.

I went to bed early last night. Work was quite busy. We had a key person call in sick and I helped a lot with coverage. I got up early this morning and did a 30 minute workout. It felt great to get a sweat going this morning. I have more energy and I have a positive outlook. I just feel really good this morning. It's not easy to get up earlier but it's definitely worth it.

Today is another busy work day for me. I'm off tomorrow and I have to make sure I have proper coverage for my duties. I'm determined to work smart not hard today. I hope I can achieve that. I'm determined to follow my plan for meals today. It will be a good day.

1/7/2013: A New Day, A New Year

Monday, January 07, 2013

It's been a while since I posted a blog entry. A lot has happened in the last month. Work has been crazy for me. December and early January is the busiest time in my job. I usually gain weight during that time. I had some health complications. I was diagnosed with a bad sinus infection that just didn't want to get better. I ended up in urgent care and was given more drugs to take. I'm feeling much better now but exercise was very hard for me. I had difficulty breathing and I had chills a lot.

I didn't eat like I should. I slacked off and made excuses. That time is over. I made a short term weight loss goal and I'm determined to make it. I'm losing 25 pounds by 4/15. I know I can do it. I know I will do it. I planned my meals out today and I got up early to work out. It felt great to get in an early morning workout. I felt refreshed and proud of myself. I need to figure out what to do as a reward for making my goal. Ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Today will be a busy day at work. I'll be doing a lot of clean-up from year end projects. I have one meeting scheduled and I may be doing some training in the afternoon. I'm excited about the weather being a little warmer this week. I'll try to get outside and do a little walking. I missed my exercise and realized just how important it is to me.

11/27/2012: Day 31 of a Fresh Start

Tuesday, November 27, 2012

Yesterday was actually a good day for me at work. I have to admit I was completely shocked by that fact. I didn't stress out at all. Who knew? Having a good day at work is a rarity for me. I'm glad it happened. It was a Monday and I was not feeling my best. A relatively "easy" day at work was welcomed.

I wasn't feeling very well yesterday. I think I'm getting a sinus infection. I tend to get them around this time of year. I did walk before and after work. That's all I did. When I got home I got things ready for work today and then I went to bed. I didn't go to sleep though. I watched Monday Night Football and enjoying watching the Philadelphia Eagles lose.

I dragged myself out of bed this morning. I stayed up later than I planned. I got out of the house on time and wake up as soon as I stepped outside. It's really cold out there. I've got a couple of meetings today otherwise I'm hoping to have another quiet day.

I'm starting my winter workout routine. I walk less and work out at home more. I'm walking to and from work today. That's all the walking I'm doing. I plan to do a 30 minute workout when I get home. I know which one I want to do. I'll be using weights with it. I'll go to bed earlier tonight. I'm off Thursday and I can't wait. I'm counting down.

11/26/2012: Day 30 of a Fresh Start

Monday, November 26, 2012

The last few days have gone okay for me. I did well regarding fitness. I didn't do well on Thanksgiving with my food. I ate whatever I wanted and didn't track a thing. I also didn't work out at all. I was happy that I did that but I go over it. I threw off my routine and it was a struggle over the last couple of days to get back on track. It's a lesson learned.

I weighed in yesterday and the scale showed that I gained 9 pounds in a week. I know that can't be right. How could I gain that much weight? I'm a little concerned about my scale. I don't trust that number at all. I honestly don't know what I weigh. I didn't record that number as my weight.

Today will be a hectic day at work. At least two managers are out today. I may have to do some covering. I have several meetings today as well. I'm walking to work this morning and walking after work. I'm not sure if I will walk during lunch. I also plan to do a 20 minute cardio routine when I get home. I'm doing my best not to stress today. Wish me luck.
