Disneygoof's WW Journal (comments welcome)

[disneygoof]

Wow, I have been WAY off program. 6 days between journals and I'm not at goal yet...I always do this. Get so close and then linger 5-7 pounds above where I want to be, which doesn't help the self-esteem much. Just gotta get where I'm going.

I was up two pounds over the weekend but they're gone again today, TG. That will make me drink a ton of water.

So I'm back today.

Re-starting the C25K. Took a light walk with the fam last night so it's a start.

Yesterday's points-22.5
Yesterday's exercise-20 minute walk.

Hey Beams, if you're out there, here I go again!

 

[disneygoof]

Well, I gardened yesterday so I'll get my walk in today. When I say I gardened, I GARDENED, weeding and planting for almost three hours. My legs and arms are aching.

Yesterday's exercise-garden work worth 3-6 points

Have a magical day!

My legs are killing me but it feels good.

Yesterday's points-28.5
Yesterday's exercise-45 minute walk, re-starting C25K

My points were high but I think I wasn't getting enough good protein (too many BLT's). I had a huge piece of fish for dinner last night to try to bring it back down.

Have a magical day!

Get so close and then linger 5-7 pounds above where I want to be,

ME TOO!!! What is the deal with that? Although right now I am more like 10 pounds above where I want to be. Why do I take a break from being OP when I am so close to my goals?
You have to make that final push- you can do it- so can I. Push on through this barrier- and go- like the little engine that could-
I THINK YOU CAN-- No scratch that... I KNOW YOU CAN!

 

[DoeWDW]

Disneygoof, you're getting close to that July 4th goal date! Whether you make it or not, you've been successful! You're eating better and exercising - treating your body right! As long as you keep doing that, the weight will eventually come off.

Hang in there!

 

[disneygoof]

Wow, have I been off program. Vacations, however, don't count in my book.

So I didn't make my 7/4 goal, which was 5 below the doc goal, but I came four pounds close. Still pretty darn proud.

And I'm up a few pounds, but I'm not giving back my 10 pound clippie unless I am still that far off on Sunday. I'll weigh in then for the Labor Day challenge. It's a labor of love, isn't it? Love thyself, love thy family.

Love thy fanny.

Doe, thanks for the continued support. You'll appreciate my compulsive entries today to my online Franklin Planner, ww journals through Labor Day. I'm sick of seeing all the paper points lying around on my counter, and it will help me get organized if I make myself log in everyday.

Beams, here I go again. I started to type in C25K and I had the cap lock on and it came out C@%K. I'm beginning to feel like I should curse it every time I type it. At this pace, I'll be looking at the Disney Marathon and I was hoping for August!

I've challenged myself to 9 pounds by Labor Day, that's the extra plus to bring me down to goal. That will be just in time for a quick trip to Disney we're contemplating for the end of September because we can get great fares. Gotta put the hubby on task so we can book quick and start planning. Nothing like Disney photos to motivate me. Maybe I'll post the Who's Who Pooh? photo if I get to goal before my trip. A before and after montage.

So here I go, still in search of my shadow...

Have a magical day!

I'm feeling recommitted (sometimes I think I should be just plain committed) and that's a good thing. I gained 5 pounds on vaca but I'm already down three.

I still have to close out the July 4th challenge, but I know I won't get there until at least Friday. Next week we're on vacation again, but I think it's one I will be able to manage better, and I'll get much more exercise so I should maintain at worst.

Have a magical day!

I'm on a roll, and the rolls are coming off. I've lost almost all the vaca weight gain. Planning is the key to staying on track this week.

Have a magical day!

Disneygoof, you looked like you were getting back on track! I hope things are staying that way. Are you on vacation this week? If so, I hope you have a wonderful time!

Have a fabulous day!

 

[disneygoof]

Thanks for checking in Doe! Way to wake me up!

I've been a bit off program, but am working hard to at least watch what I'm eating during the week, and not so much on the weekend. I've still got a few pounds to go to get to my ultimate goal, and this is where I ALWAYS stall. At least I'm aware of it this time.

I've joined two of the current challenges. Labor Day, with my five below the doctor's order goal as my challenge goal. I've also jumped on the 1000 minutes bandwagon. I'm working on 45 minutes 5 days a week, which I'm hoping will put exercise more on the forefront of my psyche, more than C2%#&*'n5K has. Three days a week wasn't enough, because I kept saying "I'll skip today and make it up tomorrow instead" and I kept getting too far behind and abandoning the program. I still want to get running eventually, though.

I'm copying this and checking in on your journal b/c I'm curious to see how you're feeling.

Yesterday's points-mainly on program but out to dinner w/out counting...

Those last few pounds are the hardest. I think the last 5 pounds hang on for dear life.
Just keep doing what you're doing and they will have no choice but to vacate the premises!

 

[DoeWDW]

I'm so glad to hear you're still in the game! Those last few pounds - oh my!! They can be so tough to get rid of! How close are you to goal?? I hope they just melt right off for you!! They should with your exercise routine!

I'm throwing a WISH party on the healthy living road! We've got the music playing and we're dancing, smiling, laughing and just generally celebrating all the good choices we make every day! Can you feel the party atmosphere??

"Celebrate good times, come on!!"

 

[disneygoof]

Well, I missed the party, but I'm in a partying mood! I'm still holding on to 1000 minutes as a goal, but I've been off program for a few days. It's the summer weekends!

Anyway, today is a new magical day!

Yesterday's exercise-45 minute walk, back on the 1000 minute track!

I got the "someone said you look too skinny" call from a friend. Well, I'm still 5'3", 135 pounds, wearing 8's with few exceptions, and have plenty of body fat to show for it. I'm sure the 25 pound loss is dramatic in before and after, but I feel like the "too skinny" label is an attempt, and perhaps a subconcious one, at sabotage. It did throw me off track for a few days, half wondering if I looked bad, half thinking that I could take it easy diet-wise. Finally I realized that I need to focus on the goal THE DOCTOR AND I SET FOR ME. I can't worry about what other people's opinions are. I know I'm not "too skinny". I know I don't look bad, just healthy. I'm just going to lose the last 5 pounds and then maintain as I planned.

Still looking for my shadow, but getting close. Maybe she's on Main Street.

Have a magical day!

Hi disneygoof,

Congrats on not letting some nay-sayer throw you off track! I think your reasoning is perfect too - why would the *doctor* choose a goal weight for you that would make you 'too skinny'? Or even slightly close to 'too skinny'? Makes no sense at all.

I'm sure your 25 pound loss is very noticeable, and people feel the need to comment, but really, when are any remarks like 'you look to skinny' supposed to be helpful? I guess if you were skin-and-bones-we're-taking-you-to-a-hospital skinny, then maybe. But if that were the case and they were really worried, they'd probably say it to your face. And, you know, your doctor probably would have said something by now too.

You're so close now. Those last 5 pounds won't know what hit 'em.

Cheers,
Caroline

 

[DoeWDW]

Disneygoof, just ignore those comments! Sounds like someone is jealous or feeling guilty to me! They are not worried about you but are feeling bad about what THEY look like.

Besides, living the healthy life is not all about the weight - the number on the scale. It's about exercising on a regular basis and about eating healthy foods that give you the vitamins and minerals and nutrients your body needs to stay strong.

I'm sending you for a good day!
