On to Another Day...

Well, here I am again! I made it last night without consuming any food....unless I blacked out and raided the frig in a fog of hunger and confusion! =O The scale said I was down this morning....back to the number it was before it jumped yesterday...my guess it retaining water- UGH! Woke up feeling groggy and unmotivated, but after having a lovely cup of coffee I've livened up some....some. =S I'm thinking I should get on the treadmill even if it's for a short time to get the blood pumping. Dinner is in the crockpot (lowfat pinto beans- YUM!), lunch has been wolfed down and kids are taking a short break before finishing the last of school. I'm slightly concerned about tomorrow night....ok I'm VERY concerned...girls night out again at a great Italian joint across the river. This is where I've been failing miserably lately. Maybe I can talk my companion into trying to eat something lighter....hint hint- no pressure of course! =D

I've Almost Made It...

...that is without eating anything else tonight and I'm HUNGRY! After we came home I managed to hit (well, not literally!) the treadmill for a 100 calorie blast and then it was on to aerobics for another 50 minutes.... that includes warm-up and a cool down. I've had nothing but some skim milk, water and hot tea to take the edge off...I think I actually didn't eat enough today, but I'm refusing to eat this late...one of my main problems! UGH! Why do I have to be fat! On the upside...someone gave me a compliment tonight- said it looked like I had lost some weight...I think she might need glasses, but I'm grateful for the kind words anyway! =D Catch ya all later!

"I Can Do All Things Through Christ!"

New Challenge!

The kiddos have a badge ceremony tonight....and there will be goodies there! UGH! I even have to bring a dozen cookies, but I'm only making enough to take! My challenge to myself today is not to eat anything unless it is fruit or veggie! Can I do it? Check in later tonight and I'll post my success! =D

What Up With That?!

Ok, so I get on the scale this morning only to find that I weigh more than I did yesterday! GRRRR! Not sure why, but I'm thinking I consumed more sodium yesterday than I realize...at least I hope that's the problem plus I have to drink more water. I really need to start writing down what I eat as I eat it...that is probably the #1 tip I hear from weight loss gurus. Journal your eating habits and find the problems! Why! Oh Why! Do I have to watch what I eat? Why can't I be like these girls that walk into church a week after having a baby and they don't even look like the had one! Double GRRRR!

Still Thinking About the Pink Dress.....

Yup, I was chatting with a friend on the puter when she mentioned the dress.....you know which one I'm talking about....that springy pink dress in the department store that I would love to wear but would look like the Good Year Blimp in! So I determined to get on the treadmill which I did....about 17 minutes and 36 seconds worth (100 calories). Then I did a 28 minutes low impact aerobics video. Afterwards I did some weight lifting and about 50 crunches. Whew! Now if I can do it all again tomorrow!

What A Week!

Well, I made it through a busy week! I'm still tired, but trying to recover. Wish I ate better this week, but it could still have been worse. I have to still have more will power when eating out....I have an idea in my mind before I get somewhere to order salad or a grilled item with fresh vegies, but then get week when I see the menu. If I can be diligent for a time to see results then I will be more inclined psychologically to make the right choices. I must! I must!

Feeling Accomplished!

Well, I did good. After dinner (see post below) I had some sugar-free Jello and light whipped cream (all of about 30 calories) for dessert. Then a bit later I jumped on the treadmill for 20 minutes (about 100 calories). I then made T's lunch. Once again, I got out my steps and did Jane Fonda's step aerobics! WooHoo! I'm feeling hungry, but I'm feeling strong. Going to drink some more water, take a shower and hit the hay! Gotta clean someone else's house tomorrow....somethings just not right about that! lol At least I get paid for it! =D
