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...

The night before...

OK, so I have seen many people hold themselves accountable by starting a weight loss blog. After stepping on the scales and trying everything possible, I think I really just need a place to track my progress and hold myself publically accountable. So tonight I boiled some eggs for breakfast tomorrow. I'm gonna really try to cut out the majority of my carbs and get it together.

So here's hoping!!! Anyone that wants to comment and follow along...the more the merrier! Misery loves company, right?
