I think I can

Apr 13 2009 17:01

It seems like its harder to get back on track than it was to get started to begin with. but I am being honest. I hate when I have to add to food log and its like 3 slices of pizza. I cringe when I look at that total. Losing weight is expensive too but I guess gaining is expensive in more ways.

I am truly amazed at how much this site and my sistas help me. I feel about 80% more confident today that I can do this than I did yesterday. It gives a whole new meaning to hanging on by a thread. I feel calmer and more in control.

back and bigger

O.K. I can't do it on my own . I do eat a lot more when I don't keep a log. I can't keep an accurate account in my head of calories. I have proven all these things by not doing them for 3 months and gaining back 7 lbs.

I am going to try to get back on the program. I started my food log again today. I walked yesterday. just 4 blocks but its a start. And instead of fried catfish I pan grilled them and had that with a salad. But I feel very discouraged and kinda hopeless.

committed

I am going to be committed to this lifestyle change that has already helped me lose 17 lbs. I have got to get my mind back on the goal and the reasons for pursuing the goals. I want to start visualizing the end result. I haven't been doing my food diary and I am suprised that I haven't gained weight. I started back on the diary today. I still haven't gone to the new gym to do the week free trial. I bought two workout outfits and have one of them packed in a bag in my car, I have driven up to the gym but there are windows all across the front and I just couldn't see my fat self in there working out where anybody could see me. and there were those skinny little instructors...., long story short I couldn't make myself go in. I will try again on Monday. But until then I am back on the calorie count plan and sticking to it.

Back on track

I have been a pretty bad girl since the weekend before Christmas. I won't go into detail but it involved cornbread dressing , prime rib, garlic mashed potatoes, lemon ice box pie,and home made butter cookies. I haven't weighed, I am scared. I am back on line and logging in for the first time and I am going to see good results again. This is just a minor setback and I can't let it rule the future. What's behind me ( and that's a lot) is not important. I will succeed in the coming year, I will get to my goal weight of 150 lbs. Kass

back and forth

Dec 16 2008 13:16

I haven't been doing my food log since last thursday or friday. I went to two holiday party's. I didn't do bad on the food cause I watched my portions but I'm scared to look up malibu rum cause I had about 6 drinks at one party and felt hungry and thirsty (hungover) bigtime the next day. But today I am back on track. That's the difference between this time and all the other times. Used to I would have just stayed off track and gained everything back. But now I know you can have a slip up but it doesn't have to be the end of progress. It just slows the progress. I won't weigh until friday. I've got four days to make up for the slip. Kass

Wight going down spirits coming up

Well I powered through the plateau , I have now lost 14 pounds. It took me 12 weeks but that's o.k. I know they aren't coming back. I gritted my teeth and kept the calorie count faith and it worked. Yeah!! Now I have to figure out what my reward will be when I get that 15th pound off. I decided when I started this that I would reward myself for Milestones, and 15 pounds is definitly one. Kass

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I really do thank God everyday for all the things he has given me and for him watching over me. I had two closings this week. Both were very rewarding, one was my little old lady from Mississippi who wanted to move back here so she could be close to old friends and the VA hospital where she gets medical care. Ms. Maggie is back home in Louisiana.

The other was a young couple just transferred here from Arkansas, with a 6 day old baby, they are moving in as we speak. Folks like this remind me why I got into real estate to begin with. It really is wonderful to help people find and buy a new home and get paid for it. I love my job.

An added benefit is that when I'm busy I don't even worry about food and when and what I'm going to eat. I do have to go grocery shopping after lunch, for the stuff I make to take to my Brother-in-laws for thanksgiving. But I am just going to make sure I eat a good healthy,filling lunch before I shop and start cooking. I'll talk to ya'll later Kass

thanksgiving threat

Nov 24 2008 16:35

Thanksgiving looms ahead. I really need to have a come to Jesus meeting with my fat self before thursday. I need to re dedicate myself to this goal and process. I know this will work if I just stick with it. Right? Right!!Kass

small victories

The scale is being stubborn, but I put on one pair of pants that used to fit but now are falling off and one pair of jeans I couldn't zip a month ago, zipped just fine this morning. Yeah!! It renews my faith in cc and increases my stick to it level. I am going to Texarkana this weekend to my sister's, to see her new house, but I am sticking to my plan. The thing I haven't done very well on is exercise. I am blaming it on the time change but I wasn't doing it before that either. I have got to figure out some type of activity that I will stick to and do on a regular basis. I may have to start riding my bike in the mornings. Its dark by the time I get home in the evenings. I just have to do it. I know in my head it would accelerate this weight loss , I just have to make up my mind to do it like I did the calorie counting. I've got to get there in my head before my behind will follow...Kass
