And another "Yeah Me" day. Lost another pound. Its hard to tell how accurate that is since I weighed after waking up tonight rather than 1st thing in the morning. But the scale doesn't lie. Right!So far the Ah Ha moment is still happening. I am making better choices. Going to the gym. Staying well w/in my calorie goals. And not HUNGRY! That's the best of all.
So, far so good. I am down 1 lb. I am doing good w/staying the daily intake goals and better w/exercise. I am hoping that this is my ah ha moment and it sticks. I turned down Sheridans tonight. I know baby steps is the key. But turning down Sheridans should be a leap :) .
Today was a better day. I still am over on my calorie goals. But yest I was under. That makes me even, Right? I really thought that today was much worse. Since I worked last night, I am awake for more of the day, hence I eat more. Or I don't eat and then become starved. I had two snacks today, and that seemed to help me not be so hungry at dinner. And I am still doing a better job w/my selections and portion size.I didn't go to the gym. I had a sick kid. But I did work in the yard after school. And since it was so hot. Sweating was not an issue. But I am giving myself 4 stars for the day. Yeah Me!
Okay, now I know that I shouldn't have made them. But the lunchroom helpers at school were talking about all the great things my mom packs in my boys' lunch. Which she does. And I am so greatful that she does (pack the lunches and comes up w/fun things so they don't complain that they don't get to eat lunch from the cafeteria).
But I made them (the sugar cookies). Which they are not the problem as much as the frosting that I made for them. The frosting mmmmmmm...... I need to focus.
I, for the most part didn't too bad for the day. I did not realize how much fat were in bugles. But I didn't have that many of them. And when the spark website calculated them in, I was glad that I didn't have more.
But I did do a better job of watching portions. And I did way better today.
But I didn't go to the gym :(. I was EXHAUSTED! Some days my lack of sleep catches up to me more than others. And today was that day. I plan to try to hit the gym for at least 30min tomorrow.
Now that I have spent nearly an hour enrolling on sparkpeople.com. I am going to go to the gym. As I was sitting and trying to find support groups to join, it dawned on me, I am spending alot of time sitting and not doing anything. So, I will have to make sure that blogging/journaling doesn't take over. I know that it is an important aspect of losing weight. But seriously, lets face the fact that free time is NOT something I have to be wasting. And I am tired of feeling like, I can't lose this weight. So, I am going to try not to focus on the weight, but the healthy lifestyle. And get off the computer and go to the gym. Bye!
Okay, I have said in the past that I was serious about losing weight. But today was the final breaking point. I saw pics that my son took of me when we were at the park playing tennis. I could not believe it. I look in the mirror everyday. I see what I look like. But I was horrified. They say that you should journal. But I am going to blog instead. I owe it to myself to lose this weight. Not for my kids (not that they don't deserve me to be the healthiest that I can be), or for the future husband that I may or may not meet, but for me. This weight is not who I am. I am not a lazy, self destructive person. But that is what the weight feels like. I need to get control of this. I need for weight to not be the center of my life.
