another 2 gone

Oct 26 2008 06:54

I weight in on Sunday morning. I am down 2 more lbs., making it 6 total that I have lost.

Calorie Count starts from the weight that I started the account with, which I did way back in July. My first attempt, I didn't stick to it & even gained more. So in Calorie Count it is saying that I only lost 1 lb. so far. That's OK, I know what I did.

I know the weight will probably come off slowly. I don't get enough exercise. But any weight loss is better than a gain. If I stick with this, I believe the weight will drop week after week.

I lost some weight!

I weighed in on Sunday morning & was four pounds lighter. I am happy with that!

I've got to keep going. I want to wear those smaller sizes and feel better.

The hard part is planning and going to the store and making sure I have the right things available. It is something that has to be worked at.

I'm doing OK

I'm doing OK and probably the best I can. I'm keeping my calories within the range I should. I haven't been getting enough exercise. I don't know when or how. It rained today and I couldn't walk outside. I worked all day, sat at my desk for most of it.

When I get home I am so hungry. I get no help with cooking; he doesn't know how. I do not make two dinners. He has to eat it the way I fix it. If he wants something else, he's free to get it, but I'm not fixing it for him.

Today at work they had free Pork BBQ dinners for us. I politely declined and ate what I had packed. I knew if I ate that food I'd regret it later.

I'm Hungry!

I'm at work and cannot leave to go home yet & I am hungry!

When I do get home it's going to be hard not to grab the first thing I can find & stuff it into my mouth.

In a better frame of mind now

I had a day off work today. It's amazing what a little time to oneself can do for you. I had time to clean the house, do some shopping, and fix a healthy dinner.

Planning and preparing the right type of meals takes time. It is hard when I am working because I get home late.

I'm experiencing a disappointment, but not in weight loss

Oct 15 2008 08:52

I've experienced a major disappointment in life, but this time it has nothing to do with weight loss or gain. It has to do with selling my place & moving, a possibility I was exploring. It cannot happen.

I will go on with things such as they are. I will be OK.

I am eating right and doing calorie count. I still need to get more exercise in when I can.

My life's obstacle right now is this husband I have who has turned into a blood-sucking leach. He isn't working and is constantly bumming money off of me. This is one problem that really needs fixed.

I think I made some positive improvements today.

I am so glad that I gave those cakes away & didn't buy one back. I made them for the church bazaar. I really wanted one though. Or at least a piece of one. Now they are out of sight - out of mind and that is a good thing.

I did buy a quart of the chicken & dumplings that my church is famous for. I'm going to allow myself one serving tonight. I counted it in the best I could. Barry will have to eat the rest because I'm not going to.

I exercised twice today. I am so out of shape! I've got to gradually keep adding up on my exercise because I know I'm not yet doing enough.

I can do this again. I know I can.

I faced the facts today concerning my home here & what we need to do. I laid it on the line for Barry. He's going to have to get onboard to my program. If he doesn't like it, he can find other options for himself.

I keep saying I'm going to do this

Oct 10 2008 19:37

But why don't I??

I really need to chart myself again on my eating and on my exercise. That's the only way to do it. I should know that by now.

Tomorrow is a new day and it will be a good day for a new start.

I've Got To Do This Again

Jul 05 2008 16:55

I don't know how many times before I've lots weight - too many to count. But I've let it creep up again, to the point that I'm uncomfortable and my clothes don't fit. There's only one choice at this point - get it back off.

So, I'm getting out all the motivational things I have around the house and using whatever tools and helps I find on the internet. This website that I just found today has already impressed me. It seems easy to use.

I know I can get it off; I've done it so many times before. One thing though, I do find losing weight and staying fit seems harder and harder as I get older and older. So young people out there - appreciate what you've got.

I'm open for comments and new friends.
