A New Year

Sunday, January 03, 2010

Today is the first day of boot camp and I am posting my measurements so that I will have something to look back at.

Weight 172
Waist 40
Hips 45
neck 13.75
Right thigh 20.5

Of course when I was measuring I didn't even know wherer to measure my hips. I hope that I measure in the same place next time. I never really paid much attention to my measurements in a long time but this time I am.

I will continue to write down in my notebook everything that I am eating for the month of January. This is only the third day but it has kept me from tasting the cheese while I was making the macaroni and cheese. I also measured things like the walnuts I added to my oatmeal and the peanut butter. I know that this is where I have been getting lots of extra calories.
Wish me luck. I am going to break through into the 160's and downward.

Drinking Water

Thursday, November 19, 2009

I just realized that I was not drinking as much water as I thought. I have three different bottles that I drink from but I was not finishing them so I was getting much less water. I started today to finish all three bottles.
This is probably one of the reasons that I have been not losing weight.
I also started writing down what I eat. I put it on the food tracker but then I leave all the bites and licks out because I can't figure out how to include them in the food tracker.
I just have to continue my water and my writing.
I'll report back in one week which will be Thanksgiving.

water is definately a plus. I go through phases where I do real good on drinking water and then I reverse direction & can't seem to get it in no matter what i do. I think water does help you feel full longer so I try to drink lots of it but it just doesn't always work out that way. I think as long as you're at least getting a little bit in & still continue to try...you should do just fine. Report Inappropriate Comment

You can include tea as a liquid - I usually start my day with a huge glass of water, then carry 36 oz of tea to work. So by the end of the work day, I've consumed about 6 or 7 cups of water. (I also have water in the mini-fridge in my office.) Then, I have about 4 more cups of water before bedtime. It does make a difference. Plus it makes your complexion look wonderful - a bonus!!!!

Hey Buddy, you have got a Wonderful Plan going on there!! Report Inappropriate Comment

It's good that you caught yourself in time. They say drinking 2 l. or 8 cups of plain water is a must every day and now that summer is upon us I don't have any problem in doing it. You're now in Florida, so it's warmer than in NY, so make sure you finish your 3 bottles. As far as those little bites and licks I have the same problem. What to do? Let's make sure we both drop weight by next Wed. weigh in. Report Inappropriate Comment

This week will be another great one. I can feel it in my bones. I am planning what I am eating in the morning and staying within my calorie range. I am walking more steps and becoming more active.

Stepping out in September

Tuesday, September 01, 2009

I want to make changes in my life and September was always a big time for change for me.
I am going to start stepping out more. 8000 steps Monday-Friday but I am aiming for 10000.
Saturday and Sunday I'll aim for 5000. I usually only get between 2500 and 3000.

I made my page yellow because I never liked the color yellow but I am going to try new things.
