Sat 12th day 10 of totally tracking and logging my food

Saturday, March 12, 2011

OMG I kept my promise to myself. That in itself is huge, and that it is a healthy promise I am impressed. Why do we lie and defeat ourselves.... hmm.
Anyway I will keep logging my food, funny thing today, I got the 3 on the wheel right between the 2 20s. and thought oh get a 20 and log that long. lol I don't need the wheel and besides I can log 3 days then go again LOL the games we play but hey if I log my food whatever.
I have lost my first 10 lbs as of a few days ago. No more yet, Yes that is getting me a tad discouraged but this time I am not letting it get me down that I stop. I will continue to eat well, and exercise as I can. That too is new for me.! whoa maybe there is a lightbulb in my head that I have finally found the switch to!
I bought myself a magazine last eve, 14$ wow but it is all quotes and such to put inside handmade cards. I never know what to put in them so know that it will be a keeper. I used my xmas money so not out of pocket.
Well bst get my lunch made, and get things going. I didn't sleep well, but did stay in the other bedroom longer just day sleep dreaming lol I have to be at first client at 11:30 but want to go to sears - got an email that they are letting you try colours and get a free cleanser and blush. So will do that then run to library before the clients. OH OH forgot dad in all this, he wants his coffee and biscuit.
Pouring rain but hey better than a lot of the world. I will wear a jacket, and drive slow and be thankful that my car won't be suddenly washed off the road. Scary stuff that is I was in earthquake and tusnami but it wasn't any life threatening problem where we were.
HUGS to all and lets do as much for our health today as we can.
HUGS

Cindy, You deserve to be impressed! I'm impressed! Yes, you've found and flipped that switch! 10 pounds lost IS a big deal! Never mind that the scale hasn't moved in a few days; trust the process. It will go down; just keep making those healthy choices. Slow and Steady wins the race! Be well, Joy Report Inappropriate Comment

It's Friday!! and I am still on track

Friday, March 11, 2011

Good morning sparkers! I haven't slept much so not sure where my energy is from! LOL I will probably crash later on. Have a nap in my car! LOL
Was awake at2, then dog went nuts at 2:30 which she rarely does so hubby who was still up let her out to bark and scare whatever was there. Then he came to bed, if I am awake when he comes to bed, I may as well stay up. So at 4 went to the other bedroom. Slept ill 5:45 sooooooo my alz lady falls asleep - going to be tough to not join her! LOL
I have my lunch and breakfast logged. super healthy this am. Made a salad even though I wasn't sure of the time. TOld myself haven't had one in while the stuff is tooooooo $$$$ to waste and I can ride bike when I get home if need be.
I have to try to make time this am to get dad his coffee and muffin. I have to be in Halifax for 8 but always wake this lady and it only takes a few mins so if I am a few min late she won't mind. eating my breakfast while I talk to you guys.
Okay gotta scoot and finish getting ready, eat the rest of my breakfast and savor it, banana, mixed fruit and flax and oatmeal with some milk.
HUGS have a super day and I am going to have one too.
Great choices !!!
HUGS and prays to all that may be affected by the earthquake and tusnami. I have been through both and they are scarey.

Thinking Thursday

Thursday, March 10, 2011

Have some thinking to do, get into my head. lol I have gained wt. I am eating very healhty, drinking my water, and exercising not a ton but what I can do. I have logged my food for 8 days now ( I think it is) and know my portions are good and not under or overeating. Anyway I am gaining wt. I have to wonder if it is ttapp as my clothes feel looser, and they did say you may gain at first. HMMMM now here is the clinker,.......... I took my measurments as they suggested at the begining but now am hesitant to re do them in case I haven't lost any inches and then this would be a total mess. I have to stay off that scale. I don't go on often but if it goes up argh........ but what makes me tick, I just say tomorrow I will measure. hmmm fear of failure and ending up stopping what I am doing which is doing my best, staying on track for 8 full days and more than that probably about 12 or so. I was just thinking about it lol
So today so far I have 2 clients in hospital. One is the early one, then they gave me another, sounds very challenging - will think of another sparker that is taking her courses to do this while there.! then I have one more and that's it. I am fine with that today but imagine I may get a call. I have the arthritis society meeting from 6-8 so if I don't get more calls that is great. long day allready.
Okay got my exercise done, my pills in me, and my breakfast logged. Best go check what else there is to do. IF the phone doens't ring I have time. lol but thats me be prepared to leave when called.
cya

Hi all, nearly bedtime. I had a busy day, I didn't have to go till 11 for work, then was called for another shift, but she cancelled she didnt want a diff. person. So got home at 3. but had to go to check dad, then take his books back to library, then make supper and had to rush out to the arthritis meeting. Was somewhat informative and helpful. They may be making one of the group meetings, in Dartmouth so if so and if it is eves I will join.
Tomorrow starts at 8 well maybe earlier cos dad wants his coffee from tims. then work 8-9, 9:30-10:30 then not till 12 -5 with my alz lady. so good day tomorrow.
Being that it is 9:30 I am heading to bed. I had a good day cal. wise, exercise wise, and water too. so now to have a good sleep.
night all HUGS

Clothes feel losser--that's all you need to know. Stay of fthe dang scale for a week. Stick to tracking and tapp. I had a good food day. Just 10 diet--and am starting African mango extract recommended on Dr. OZ and Just 10. Got hair cut and colored--going to dinner with friends tomorrow--and laser light show Sat night. Now to stick with good eating and no junk--will be hard tomorrow. Report Inappropriate Comment

I find measuring more reassuring than the scale. But, with increased activity; measurements shift too. Arms may go up a little with muscle development; but rarely will my waist or neck. Always a pick up to see that waist shrink!! Be brave, Joy Report Inappropriate Comment

NEW-CAZ 3/10/2011 6:22AM

Just keep on track Cinders a small gain often happens; might be water weight and only tempory so don't panic. And never fear the measurement tape- it can take time to tone up (some people take longer than others) and if you keep a regular record you'll see your progression which will be motivating, spur you on. Keep going hun and have a great day Report Inappropriate Comment

WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY!

Wednesday, March 09, 2011

As of right now it isn't so great, well yea I can give you a list of greatfuls but have been awake since 4, pain all night in my R shoulder that kept me awake a lot, hubby came to bed at 5:50 working on 2 computers and he has to be at garage at 10. oh well............. but ys thankful my knees weren't sore too, that I did sleep some, that today is my day OFF! and we have a roof, heat, water ect. and oh dad went to dr and has double ear infection but has meds, and went on his own accord. so yea mostly good.
so this good is going to trancend into the rest of my day, we don't have a lot to do, I do have a staff meeting at 5:30 which is a pain on a day off but hey at end of day. I will eat well, go exercise and just get a bit done, go with hubby to do oil change, and putz today not going to be a oh day off get it all done.
so now to go exercise then back later on in the day. HUGS
let's all make it a good day.

Tuesday, March 08, 2011

Despite stepping on the scale and seeing an increase and not sure why, I am making this amother great day. I am wondering if the ttapp is slowly starting to do a bit of muscle. I need to stay off the scale. it still has that strange way of making my mood. argh. So nuff said new personal best on the recumbant bike 3 km in 10 mins. so I am glad and my knees don't hurt.

Had a good day yesterday, good clients, all that and a good day. DD was over, and I had to pick him up at Thomas'house so got to see him for few mins.

Funny thing this am, I was doing my stuff, getting some supper ready ( cos I again forgot for few mins that we were going to eeek pancake supper eeek) and then thought I have to fit in at least 10 mins of exercise I MUST. and actually thought if I dont get ... done oh well hae to get my exercise in. OMG that is amazing and so welcome. but my first thought was LOL Caz will say oh there is that perfectionism again LOL But so far that is good.
Well not much time this am, so have to go, want to check my email and dget some dishes done that should have been done last eve, but visited with dd.
Okay have a super day and will be back........ oh eating light today and bringing an extra apple cos pancakes this eve! EEEEK.


Am still doing fine ven with my pancakes. but forgot to take my pill so have to eat something and am not hungry but have to have food with this. oh well. and then going to have a bath and then bed and read. OFF tomorrow. other than staff meeting at 5;30.
night all have a great sleep. I hope to

HUGS

I know you'll have a great day. I've been avoiding the scale and luckily when I got on this morning all was well. I'm gearing up to get serious AGAIN ( ). The spring weather always inspires me. Ordered som Africian mango extract I saw on Dr. Oz. and just lose 10 program. So now that I''ve spent some money on it, it puts me in the let's make it work mode! LOL! Report Inappropriate Comment
