Not so hot actually...

Tuesday, December 21, 2010

That's how i'm feeling. I'm under the weather, and not happy about it. Instead of going to yoga yesterday I went home early. and i really don't have the energy for physical activity. it sucks, i get all riled up and ready to drop the weight and BOOM. all i want to do is sleep 20 hours a day. On the flip side i'm eating less... so, not a total loss i guess.

anyway, hoping i'll be better by the weeks end and i can combat the Christmas day feast

  


141

Friday, December 17, 2010

At first when i got on the scale and it said 141 i thought "woo hoo, 4lbs in one week, I'll be skinny by the new year!" And then i snapped back to reality. Several things could have been at play here:
- the week leading up to my original weigh in I over indulged on everything. No really, everything! for four days straight, in fact, i ate gross amounts of food because I was in austin. Apparently i lose my mind in Austin (that's my excuse don't question it)

- The day of my weigh in I was probably severely bloated. My 'time' was only a few days away and lets face it, mother nature plays all kinds of cruel tricks on us the preceding week.

- The scale i'm using is broken. (I don't like this one because then i'm truly clueless)

- I really did lose 4 lbs of real weight simply by thinking about it! and also i tracked my food (it's amazing what you won't eat when you have to write it down) and started exercising regularly

I know it's a combination of 3/4 but for a moment it was nice to think i was on track to lose 4lbs a week.
oh well... more to come

145

12/8/2010 - 145
That was my weigh in. Horrible! Yes, i know it could be worse. but here's the thing, i'm 5'3 with a small frame and 28. I've gained 25 pounds in the last 5 years... and did i mention I'm 28. I'm too young for this!!! In all my life i've never gone over 139, 140 was my line. If i got any where near that line i dieted and exercised and got back to where i needed to be. Not this time... this time i got on the scale and that line is 5 pounds behind me. I'm discouraged, a little depressed, but most of all, and most importantly I'm PISSED! (at least i'm not complacent right?)
Why didn't anyone tell me?!?! I know you can see an extra 25 pounds on a person, you can usually see an extra 10, so why didn't anyone say anything? "Hey Stacy, maybe you shouldn't have that extra piece of pie" "Those jeans are a little tighter than they used to be" "Hey, maybe we should work out together" etc etc... or just cut to the chase and say "You're getting fat! Don't eat so damn much and hop on a treadmill once in a while."

Sure, it's a little harsh and my feelings would be a little hurt. But when you get on the scale and you're 25 pounds overweight, that's worse, much much worse.

In conclusion, friends, romans, countrymen... when I put on a few take the pie out of my mouth and shove in a celery stick.

Thank you

    Yes, those pounds can create up on you through the years. Just keep moving. As we get older our metabolism seems to shrink while our waistlines grow. I, for one, have wasted too many years being inactive and boy, does it show. So don't lose faith. You can do it, just be extra diligent about what you eat and how much you move. Happy Sparking!

i'm back... again

Tuesday, December 07, 2010

I went back to doing yoga a couple months ago, and that was a good start, but the truth is, I've done quite a bit of damage since february and yoga a couple times a week just isn't going to cut it. I need change, a change in diet, exercise, time management etc etc. This is my cry for help... I need accountability, I just can't go up ANOTHER size. witty, humorous, sarcastic blogs will be posted in weeks to come... today i just need to get back on track

    Sounds like the team challenge might be a good thing. Good luck to you!

    I recommend a SERIOUS team challenge- one where your team is relying on you to post RESULTS, get in fitness minutes and lose lbs.
It's worked for me so far! 3lbs lost since the Monday before Thanksgiving!

day 1

Wednesday, April 14, 2010

i know my friend isn't the first person to do this, but the fact that she did made it a little bit more of an accessible idea. She has decided to forgo the desk chair and instead use a yoga ball. Again, i know she's not the first person to do this, i've seen it suggested before... but it just seemed so silly. Now that i can picture her doing it at her desk, i don't feel so ridiculous using one at my own. Technically it's only a half day since i forgot to bring it this morning and only picked it up when i ran home for lunch, BUT! i did deflate it before i left the house (didn't want to be seen walking in with a giant inflatable ball) and so when i arrived back at my desk i had to pump it up. That counts for some kind of strength exercise right? i actually placed the pump between my knees and and did some inner thigh work, yea me!

anyway, i'm very excited about engaging my core all day long, but there's a problem, it's too short! i mean noticeably short, as in i can't see over the halfwall/partition thing. and i'm looking up at my computer screen. any suggestions?

this is day one, i'll keep you updated as to how many times i fall, forget i can't swivel etc etc.

    I stopped by your page earlier and was going to leave a message; just as I was about to type, I got distracted. How are you doing? I use a stability ball in my home office as well. The first one was too short then I just bought a bigger ball which stands taller and it works perfectly. Hope this helps!!!
