Off the wagon!

So I got weighed Friday and 233...grrrrrr! Welcome to my life! So FRUSTRATED!!!! But I suppose I have no one to blame but myself. My diet has not been good. I didn't think it was HORRIBLE to make me gain THAT much weight...but that seems to be the case. I feel like I can't predict anything. My weight goes up and down like a freaking yo yo. I guess all I can do is keep trying. I finally have my IPFW info so I can start going to the gym there...and I need to force myself to take more walks. Well...it's a plan anyway!

Victory!!!

So I actually lost a pound over the weekend. I was SURE I was gonna gain. I guess that extra walk helped!! So I am out of the 230s just BARELY. But I will take 229 for now.

Not much chance for exercise tonight. I have class from 6-9, but I might try to do something on the Wii. Tomorrow night is ZUMBA...my favorite!

Sorry so short...but gotta get ready for class tonight. My diet has been a disaster today, but I have tried not to snack to make up for it.

Next weigh in...Friday!

Sunday night...

Well, for some reason life got busy and I didn't blog much lately. Of course, I suppose that could be said for my diet as well. I've been doing "ok" but definately had a pitfall with unplanned meals. We also went to a wedding and I ate WAY too much. But OH it was sooooo good!

Friday I lost 2 pounds. Part of me wonders...well, I probably DO...sabotage myself. I was either 1. disappointed with the 2 pounds or 2. scared that I might actually lose weight. Yep...I'm NUTS! But I guess that is why I am fat huh?

Tomorrow I start school and the madness will begin. I am trying to pre-plan snacks and meals, but so far this week looks like a lot of meals on the run. Subway may very well become my best friend! I'm hoping to find some better options so I don't go there ALL the time, but it is safe.

On a good note, the kids and I took a really long walk today and I got some exercise, so that is a positive.

So tomorrow I get on the scale again. Here's hoping I at least maintained. I am starting to feel better, so I can be more active.

Until tomorrow...

Getting easier?

Well, maybe. I have to say that mornings are the hardest. I am notoriously NOT a morning person and don't like to get up early to fix breakfast. I do have some boiled eggs as a backup, but I still fight the desire to grab and go.

As far as diet goes, I can't say that I have been strict anything...just eating sensibly and not eating any sweets. I got a free Carmello bar at CVS today and thank GOD they were out because I am pretty certain that I would have eaten it!! I try to just add a lot of veggies and drink a lot of water while I am at work. That does seem to help.

So I guess I would say things are successful and I am looking forward to Friday when I get on a scale. But Lord knows I have a very unhealthy relationship with that thing. So here's hoping!!

Another day almost down...

Well, so far so good. I even went to a luncheon and didn't go crazy...2 pieces of pizza and a diet coke!! Tonight I go to ZUMBA for the first time in over a month. Glad my back is feeling better to be able to go. I have really missed it and I think that is part of the reason for the increased weight. With my back totally out of commission, I really couldn't do anything comfortably. So I am really hopeful I can get back on track.

I have to say, when I am on a diet, I feel like I OBSESS about food. I'm not really HUNGRY...I just think about what I am going to fix for meals, snacks, etc. I suppose in a way I need to think about it because trying to do things at the last minute end with me grabbing a pop tart or something I don't need to have. I have to say, I really enjoyed the garlic pepper shrimp I had tonight though!! Had some brown rice with it and some sugar free pudding with coolwhip! Yum!!!

Tomorrow...hamburgers on the grill with sauteed mushrooms and baked broccoli...maybe a few sweet potato fries. We'll see.

Until tomorrow...

Day 1

The official weight...232. It makes me shudder just to type it publically, but this is just not acceptable and I can't allow myself to get any larger...yet I seem to have NO willpower.

So here's been the diet so far...
2 boiled eggs and a light yogurt (110 calories) for breakfast. As it turns out, my yogurt froze and was pretty yummy!

Lunch consisted of left over brisket and 1/2 a cucumber and 2 laughing cow cheese.

Supper...not great, but best I could do since I got home late and didn't actually fix it...

watermelon and a hot (ok, by the time I got home it was cold) ham and swiss on a multigrain hoagie bun and 1/2 diet pop.

I think I am planning to have a glass of hot tea before I go to bed, but I am doing my best not to snack. I am a terrible night snacker and I think that has been half my trouble. I stay up/can't sleep and hit the pantry.

So the next time I get on the scale is Friday. Since I was up past 2:30am this morning, I don't really see any exercise in my future today, but am hoping for a bike ride tomorrow night. I might check out the direct tv for a yoga tape.

Until tomorrow...
