Baby Steps

Okay, so I'm on the slow road with exercise, but today without even thinking began eating a couple of cookies.

So, trying to get back on track, I realized I need to take baby steps. If I can change one thing today, I can change more things later.

So, instead of grabbing for the soda, I sat down with a nice cup of hot camomille tea today. I also, took out my yogurt and a spoon to remind myself that would be a lot healthier snack than the cookies.

Here we go......

Okay, trying to get back on the exercise bandwagon. So, I'm gonna to try another round of 21 of 30.

Yesterday I went to aerobics class.

Today, I'm in for a workout on the bike and treadmill.

Anyone care to join me?

Hey You Guys!

How are you all doing?

I'm doing better. I'm finding myself craving a lot lately. Nothing in particular either. I think it might be my cycle, but I'm not sure. But, I'm trying to eat smaller portions too. So, I hope that helps.

I still haven't gotten back into the swing of things with exercise. Man alive, it's so easy to come up with excuses.

Anyhow, off to get my dose of sunshine this morning.

Hope is going well with everybody!

La Weight Loss Week 1.5

Down 3.6 pounds!!

Keeping Track

Okay, so I've been off and on about keeping a log. So, I thought I'd go back to
to do online logging. I really like this program.

This is what I came up with today.

I was at 2060 cals, 29% fat, 46% carbs and 26% protein. Now, I know I have some things to work on (ouch look at the cookies), but on an up note, I was way better on calories than yesterday AND lower on fat %.

After a week off work for spring break...

I lost 2.8 lbs. I could hardly believe it but I did. This just proves to me, that I can lose weight even through holidays and vacations. I just need to stay on my program and stay busy. This past week, instead of eating a lot, I worked on my sewing projects that have been piling up. I got a lot accomplished in a week. Several quilt blocks done for different quilts and 1 purse/beach bag done for my youngest daughter, 1/2 another bag done for another daughter and material cut out for a bag for me and material bought for the other two daughters bags. Plus I went to tea twice with one of my friends and managed to still lose weight by saving my flex points for those occasions. I am 2 lbs away from losing 10% of my body weight. I'm 4 lbs away from losing 25 lbs and I'm 9 lbs away from my goal of losing 30 lbs before we go to Italy in June. I'm sure I will make all of those goals!

Time to regroup....

Well, I'm up. I don't know that it's saying much, but I am. Time to regroup, so I'm off to exercise.

Anybody want to join me?

I'm sorry.....

I got so thrown off track. Who'd a thought Springbreak would throw me for a loop? And now I'm depressed. We've eaten out every other day for about 2 weeks now. Two of those days every meal was out. UGG!

I've gained about two pounds. I've only been to the gym a few times in the last two weeks.

I feel so down in the ditches. I've been checking the blog, but couldn't bring myself to post until today.

But, I made a very detailed grocery list. The hubby and kids came with me (which was so tiring). Next time I'm shopping by myself. LOL! Anyhow, I refused all snack foods, chips, ice cream etc. I did give in on the diet soda though. I suppose it could be worse.

I'm gonna start up the gym again on Tuesday. I didn't normally go on Mondays before so I'm not going to tommorow. I'm gonna take the morning/afternoon to cook the entire weeks worth of food, so I will have no excuse to eat out. And, I can't make excuses about school for not cooking. We need to go on a money diet anyway, so it won't be money shock when Ema begins preschool. So, expensive out here....GOSH! Thank goodness for tax returns!

Well, let me stop rambling.

But, I could use some encouragement as I sit here with my tummy tippith over onto my lap. How sad.

I wish we were all closer. I was just telling my sister I need a workout buddy. No one I know likes (of thinks they need) to workout.....

Didn't I say was going to shut up!

Talk to you guys later!

It's a start...

Down 1.6 pounds.

La Weight Loss Day 5

Well, I went back today to finish getting the rest of my program. I was a little worried because I had started reading some reviews that were horrible. I called my Mother in Law who was very supportive of the whole thing and made me feel like I hadn't made a huge mistake jumping into this program. They do recommend their LA Lite bars but they are not required. I think I will buy them for a couple of weeks and see how it goes then see if I want to take the plunge into buying the bulk amount of them.
I weighed after eating a very large amount of food at MOPS and am sad to say that I am back up 2 pounds from my take off weight but it is the afternoon and I ate a huge lunch. Hopefully the next weigh in will be better.
I do have to say I just have to get with it... there is no good time to start a diet! We had Easter then I was supposed to go to a Moms of Special Needs Kids meeting with a lot of food, then MOPS today, then tomorrow is supposed to be Pokeeno that always has good food. Crazy. Off I go to plan the rest of my day!

I'm back on track!

I lost 2.2 lbs this week even with Easter Sunday and my youngest daughter's birthday celebration. Whoppee! It was easy today to stay on program because I kept myself busy with my other hobby, quilting. If I stay busy, I sometimes forget to eat. It doesn't happen often but I feel good when it does. I've got 4 pts left for the day and I'm not eating them because it's after 7pm. So maybe I will see a bigger weight loss tomorrow.

LaWeight Loss Day 3

Well, it is just the morning. I have to go in this morning to weigh and get my program. My scale says I have lost a couple of pounds but I don't know what theirs will say. After my meeting there I have to go get a filling. So, I won't feel like eating after that.

LA Weight Loss day 2

Today feels like it has been harder than yesterday to stay on this juice, meat and veggies thing. I miss my carbs and sugar. I did have one tiny spoonful of mashed potatoes at lunch. I made ham, broccoli, mashed red garlic potatoes and garlic rolls. I did stay away from the rolls and ate a ton of broccoli. I go back in tomorrow to see what plan I am on and if I lost anything these last 2 days. We'll see. :)

Here goes nothing!

LA weightloss day 1. For today and tomorrow I have this drink that I am supposed to drink. I think it is kind of like a cleanse. 4ozs plus 4ozs of water 4 times a day. I can eat all kinds of meat and vegetables. On Monday I go back and get the rest of my program. I was worried the drink was going to be nasty but it actually tasted pretty good. I also need to drink 64 ozs of water along with the other stuff. I am sure I am going to feel full. I have already been tempted by the M&Ms in the kitchen and the bread in the fridge. It is for 2 days...I can do this!

I'm struggeling....

I weighed in yesterday to find out I had gained 4.4 lbs. I wanted to talk to my leader about it at Weight Watchers but she wasn't there. I talked to the girl at the scale because I knew she was another leader. I was hoping for some encouraging words but what I got was, "Stop having a pity party for yourself and get on with it!" I wanted to smack her! I guess she's right though. I'm responsible for what I put in my mouth, not her.

PS. I weighed this morning and had already lost 2 lbs. So I feel vindicated in some ways because I thought I hadn't eaten enough to gain 4.4 lbs. I don't think I drank enough water last week. I drank alot of water yesterday and I lost 2 lbs. Could there be a connection?

La weight loss

OK, so I just joined LA weight loss. I am headed out on a girls trip the next 3 days but they were so nice at the store. I am actually starting on Saturday then I go back on Monday to get the rest of my program. They apparently have 9 different programs depending on lifestyle, goal weight, and other areas. I will probably get the menu one since we are on the go all the time and eat out a lot because of it. I think I am going to like this program. It has a lot of accountability with it and a lot of structure. I will keep you posted on how it goes.

*******************************************************************************8

(as of April 1st)
I need to be careful. If I don't make a more steady pace, I'll not make my days. But, in the meanwhile. I say not bad. I'm getting in 3 to 4 days of aerobic exercise, anywhere from 50-60 minutes each.
