Starting New Year Resolution a little Early

Sun, 9 Dec 2012 21:13:28 EST

I know we all have New Year Resolutions that we start after January 1st. Well I am starting mine earlier. While my roommate from college was home we met up for supper and I was telling her how I am sick and tired of my weight and everything I try doesn't seem to work. She offered to be my motivation and since she's a healthy eater she said she would e-mail me weekly meal plans. Even though last week was my first week I was very proud of myself! She would e-mail me daily to check in and even t...

Where has the summer gone?

Fri, 17 Aug 2012 23:17:44 EST

Well I know I have completely fell off of the bandwagon for oh a couple of months. I have no idea where the summer has gone and can't believe this year is almost over! I have not tracked hardly any of my food and haven't exercised at all. I am no where near any of my goals or where I thought I would be.
This week I have decided to change that.... I went for a mile and a half walk three times this week. For the first time I actually have craved to go for a walk. Also I am thinking of why...

Thinking about me

Sun, 3 Jun 2012 10:47:01 EST

I have always been the person who put everyone else first and was worried about what other people think. Well I am going to change that and start thinking about me. Yesterday at work one of my customers made the comment "you never know when an opportunity will come up." I guess I seemed more approachable before I got to the counter to wait on them, but a million things were going through my head. Currently I am unhappy in my job as of what I do, the work environment is fine. I have only been...

Bad Day/Week

Wed, 23 May 2012 23:00:28 EST

Well I have to admit this past week hasn't been the best. My emotional eating has come back and I don't know where to stop.... I have tried to snack on little snacks every couple of hours, but then I feel more hungary and my stomach keeps growling. I have also been having a hard time having will power. Where I work they have all the soda for the employees and candy for the customers that we can also help ourselves. The last couple of days have not been going well especially since we have not ...

Eating Healthier

Thu, 10 May 2012 10:02:34 EST

Monday was my first day to eat healthier. So far I have been tracking everything, and planning my meals. I have been trying to eat more fruits and vegetables as snacks instead of chocolate or junk food. From now on I am going to try to plan out meals for the week. I also haven't gone out for lunch like I would normally do. Instead I have brought my lunch and instead of having a pepsi for a drink I have been drinking water. Wednesday I got off track a little bit, when this would happen before...

Thank You!

Sat, 5 May 2012 23:49:44 EST

Since my first blog has been a couple of days ago, I have seen a new perspective in life. I know I have joined spark people in March, but the last couple of weeks (well actually the last couple of days) this site has given me more motivation and a new perspective on life. We are all here for the same reason and all have things in common to LOOSE WEIGHT! I know this blog probably doesn't really make sense but it is more of a thank you to all the warm welcomes and motivation. I have read all o...

Little things that will help

Thu, 3 May 2012 23:36:46 EST

Since my first blog entry last night and the comments I have received I will start blogging a couple times a week if not more. This morning I read the comments from fellow spark people members and just want to thank you all for the encouragement. I have a support system at home but I think most of them don't think I can keep my promise and lose the weight. I just want to prove them wrong. When I got up this morning and logged on and saw the comments it helped me stay motivated through out the...

Trying to stay motivated

Thu, 3 May 2012 00:51:02 EST

Well, this is my first blog entry and I have been a member of spark people since end of March. I was doing realy well for a couple of weeks then again I started to loose motivation. Then I got a cold and finally got antibotics and this is the best I have felt in two weeks. Since I have slacked off I can tell that I have gained weight back. In the past I have always been saying the famous words if I can just start back tomorrow. Before I know it my life will flash between my eyes and I know if...
