Great Day!
Dec 19 2008 23:35

Tonight I worked out with my husband! It was so much fun just like old times.  I hope we start doing this more often.  I cleaned house today and tried to stay extra busy.  I really watched what I ate today.  I have to get up early in the morning for a baby shower.  I have just been in the best of mood lately.  I feel freer somehow. I am happy that things are going so well.  I hope they stay this way.  I know that this is all up to me though.  I have the want to and the will power.  I will lose weight. Tomorrow will be another day full of temptations and trials but I can and will keep up!

Bad Day!

Today has been a rough day for me. I have failed in many ways. I think that I will do better tomorrow. I ate a lot of bad stuff today and I know it. It makes me feel horrible!

Hateful Habits!
Dec 03 2008 20:14

Lately I have been eating all wrong! I can't seem to snap out of the old grind I am in! It is so frusterating.  I wish I had someone to tell me what to do! I would do it too! I eat way too many carbs. I crave them all the time. I give in an here I sit! It is soo extremely frusterating. I started a thread today trying to find a buddy that will help me get on track and hold me responsible for my actions and make me feel bad if I mess up, etc. I hope I find someone to meet my challenge.  I want to start working out and really pushing myself to make better choices all the way around with both food and exercise!

I weighed```

I weighed yesterday and even though I have a long way to go in meeting the goal I am incouraged.  I was able to put on a pair of jeans a size 16 and even though I would love to be a size 12 or the fantasy size 7 again I know that a 16 is good for now since I had been bigger.  I am encouraged because Iknow that I need to start somewhere and I am.  I keep thinking about the people I have met on here in the past and I hope you guys are still out there. I miss you!

Making a come back!!!

I have been away too long.  I am going to become religious about this. I really want to lose weight! I hope to get back with this.  I am still maintaining, but I want to loose more and I will.  If you are my friend on here... plese talk to me again. I miss you guys.  Sorry I have been away.

Four pounds burned!
Jul 21 2008 22:06

Four more pounds have left this body! I am so pleased with where I am  heading.  I weigh...195! I can hardly believe my eyes.  I am so encouraged.  The work out I am doing helps so much and I am so happy with my life style changes.  I just know it is working for me and I have hope that things will continue to be good.  I know that I can do it.  I see the goal and I am working toward it.  I am feeling better as each pound goes and I am more active and fit.

LOST IT~
Jul 16 2008 21:35

I have not been in the 100 range in several years! I weighed this morning (because I forgot to yesterday).  The scale said 199. I was so excited.  I have slowed my pace/  I had been losing on average 3 pounds a week.  This week only one pound.  Oh well I have to work harder that's all there is to it.  Anyway I am so excited and I can't wait to see it go down even lower.

This morning I went on campus and turned in some homework for my summer course, then I looked all around town (wasted my gas and time) trying to find some nice clothes  for cheap... well I tried on all types of things.  I came home empty handed.  I hate shopping for clotheds.. I wonder if I ever will enjoy shopping for clothes again. Anyway... my mother-in-law wkept Andy today but I kept Randy and we had a nice time.  I was so tired when I got home but I forced myself to workout because of all the pizza I ate today.  Well anyway I am anxious about tomorrow.///// WEIGH DAY I am pretty sure I have not lost anything. It doesn't look like I have anyway and I definately haven't been eating the best.  I have been working out but I don't think it has been enough.

I went on a date!!!!
Jul 12 2008 23:32

I have had a great day! I went on a date with my husband.  It was brief but it was just the two of us.  This is like the first time we have been out on a date without the boys in two years.  Yeah that's right two whole freakin long years.  I am so glad that we got to go out.  It was pretty weird though.  It was like we didn't know how to act since the concentration was soely on us (there were no kids to pay attention to).  We were in such a great mood.  We went to eat at a Japanese restraunt... yet after we were seated in came low and behold my parents.  They sat down with us... It was awkward.  My husband and I wanted to be alone yet at the same time we didn't want to be rude so we all ate together.  My mom could tell that things were awkward.  She ended up buying our food.  Anyway after that we went window shopping- first at Best Buy and then to the mall.  We didn't spend a cent... call us cheap skates.  Well we wanted to go to the movies but it was already almost 8pm and it was starting to storm in town.  So, we decided to go pick up the boys from Chris' mothers. 

I had a lot of fun and still at under my recommended calories.  Oh yeah... I almost forgot... I did the most kick butt workout today. I thought I was going to lose it. I did the Biggest Loser Cardio workout and man was it tough.  I plan on doing the six week challenge.  If it works I will let others know.  If I can tell a difference or not, otherwise I will stay silent.  Well better go for now tomorrow is the Lord's day!

Food...food...food...

Today has been awful for me... I have eaten all day long.  Now I feel horrible about my decisions and about myself.  I don't know why I do this to myself.  I ate all day long today.  I have been cooking over at my mom's house.  We picked peaches and made peach perserves.  Then, we made a peach cobbler. The rest is history.  I wasn't going to workout today, but now I feel driven to because of all the nasty food I ate. Oh me. Why oh why do I do this? I am so disappointed in myself.
