Day 198

New Years Day

Well another year and ready to go! I like the feeling of the New Year and fresh starts, and am glad I am much fitter and thinner than last year and got back on track with my eating and exercising. I was back down to 137.0 today (initially 136.6 then it went up, flakey scale) and have upped the exercise again. I really do not think I have been eating more than I should, and less than sparkpeople recommends for maintenance but I think also some of it is fluids and not eating quite as much fiber as normal so plan a good fiber week this week!

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS:

1. GET OUR LOG CABIN HOME BUILT!
2. HEAL SOME HEALTH ISSUES I AM CONCERNED ABOUT
3.WORK ON MY RELATIONSHIP WITH DH
4. WORK ON BEING THE BEST MOTHER I CAN BE FOR DD
5. MAINTAIN MY WEIGHT AND FITNESS LEVELS

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE AND THANKS TO ALL MY WONDERFUL SPARK FRIENDS FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND FRIENDSHIP. IT HAS MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE TO BEING A SPARKPEOPLE SUCCESS STORY!

    My sodium is usually low, and drink 14 glasses of water a day, I have always had a low metabolism though, sucks!!!! I feel good though! Of course I did omit the wine-cooler and succumbed to some whipped cream but nothing over what I can legitimately eat for maintenance by any means. Oh well!

    Wow, you ARE eating low on the calories end, aren't you?!?! LOOK at MY food tracker - I've been HORRIBLE this past week! A few days WELL over 2,000, and I'm MAINTAINING MY WEIGHT! Scary, huh? What is your sodium like? I can't see that on the tracker. And how much AGUA are you getting in??? I can't see HOW you are still SO LOW on the calories to maintain! VERY Weird.

Day 197

New Years Eve

I was hoping for a relaxing day but seemed hard to get anything done, too many emails, phonecalls and mess!!! Had a nice healthy dinner, cod with zucchini, mushrooms and onions and tomato with a little marinara sauce and some potato with it, and a Sparkpeople Apple Crisp recipe for dessert, which is delicious. I had a wine-cooler but its been so long since I drunk anything it made me feel really weird and grumpy, probably as a result of a somewhat stressful day so no more for me for a while. We could barely keep awake to see the New Year in and listened to it on the radio, are we getting old or what?!! Still not losing the 2 lbs, wow! My metabolism seems to be going in reverse!

Day 196

It was a beautiful sunny day, and not too cold today and went for a nice walk with DH, DD and both dogs, it was icy on the road though but definitely better than the rain! No change on the weight today and am not eating that much, so its kind of annoying! I was hoping for maintenance mode where I could eat a few more calories!

    It's so funny to me because I eat like I am in maintenance mode already, and am still managing to lose, albeit slowly. I bet I average between 1700-2000 calories per day. If I had more self control I could lose a lot faster but I'm doing my best! Have you tried eating the recommended maintenance mode calories for a week or so, just to see how your body reacts? Something to think about in the new year, and by the way, have a great one!

    The maintenance thing is kind of annoying! Don't get me wrong, I am very happy to be where I am, but it is irritating when you have a couple of bad days and the pounds come back on like nothing! Ugh! I guess it is a good wake up call for me that I really still have to watch things! Your dog is cute!

Had a quiet day but did more exercise, which felt good, I have walked this year in sun, rain, mist, fog, sleet, snow, ice, slush, cloud and rainbows so I definitely get out in all weathers. Today was ice, snow, sleet and rain! Wish it would make up its mind but it is WA! Weight still 137.7 and seem to be stuck with 2 extra pounds. Good news is all the Holiday fare is GONE!

Day 194

Friday, December 28, 2007



I am ready for spring! I took down all the decorations and cleaned and did laundry this morning, I am done with the Holidays! We are having a quiet New Year thats for sure, no parties here! Good News is I am down to 137.7 today despite finishing the Xmas Pudding last night! Salad for dinner tonight, yet more turkey! I will make some soup with it tomorrow, and DH is going to finish off the yams tonight, thank goodness! Still up 2 lbs but feel ok, did strength today too and feel more energetic and back to normal. I even forgot to eat some fudge yesterday!! I am hoping eating more over Christmas will help my metabolism think it is more in maintenance mode, I still do gain really easily because I am really not eating anywhere near the calories it thinks I can eat for maintenance. Oh well!

    Oh I am so ready to take down the decorations but since Mr. Baby's b-day is the 30th we are leaving them up until New Year so he can have the lights for his special day! Glad that the scales are going back down for you!

    You're doing great! I love this time of year but honestly I'm ready for spring weather, too! I enjoy a quiet New Year's, no parties here, either, though I might make a fancier-than-usual dinner!
