Started taking Release products

May 17 2009 06:49

I really though hard about taking Release products, because I wanted to lose weight on my own. But, I have had a very hard time controlling how much I eat. It was too hard to have smaller portion sizes. I even did the 6 small meals per day and that didn't seem to work.

I guess I was hoping if I could start losing weight, then once I am off of Release it will be easier to watch what I eat. I am trying to eat healthier. I read all of my friends posts on here and pay attention to what everyone eats and that is what I am trying to eat. Portion size is my biggest problem.

I also need to workout "better". I need to do more activities that raise my heart rate. A lot of my friends do jazzercise here in town and they all LOVE it, so I think I am going to join. They have like 5 classes throughout most days.

I rode the exercise bike for 30 minutes this morning and walked 30 minutes this afternoon.

I worked a school party at the skating rink tonight, while my husband went to an FCA banquet. He had to go because Bobby Bowden, coach of Florida State University football team, was the speaker. He loves Florida State!

I am proud of myself for starting to be more active and working out each day. I want to make it to the YMCA to do the circuit room, but haven't had time yet.

I just rode the bike today for 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes this afternoon, I thought I would give my shins a break, since they hurt so much yesterday.

I am proud of myself for eating healthier these past couple of days and for exercising. I need to stay strong this weekend! Weekends are always hard to eat healthy and exercise.

I walked 30 minutes this morning. Tonight I just walked 15 minutes and rode the bike the other 15 minutes. My shins started hurting when I was walking. I think I need to stretch before I walk.

Hopefully the weather stays good this weekend, both of my daughters have soccer games on Saturday.

Am I depressed?

Mar 25 2009 09:54

I don't know if I am depressed or what? I am tired all of the time and very, very moody.

I am sure part of it is from weighing 185 pounds. But, I can't seem to get motivated to do anything.

Any suggestions?

I did good on calories until we went to the Country Club for dinner. My husband and I shared a prime rib, baked potato and vegetables. Then I had this yummy pecan, caramel topping over ice cream dessert.

My husband and I just got back from Lincoln, NE. We went there for our Leadership class. We went there for legislative session. We watched all of the Senators in action. We toured the state capitol, I couldn't believe how much meaning and detail went into it. Every picture, made of mosaic tile, represented some part of Nebraska, from the pioneers, to the animals, crop production and its people.

We then met with the Governor and then had lunch at the Governors mansion. I was very impressed by the Governor. He seemed like a very honest, respectful caring person.
