Looking to Lose Ladies

[StitchIsOurHero]

I can definitely tell a difference in my energy level on a morning when I use the treadmill, as opposed to a morning when I don't. I'm much, much less sluggish, and also more positive on a morning when I use the treadmill!!

As for the healthy eating, welll. . . .somedays it goes well, and somedays it doesn't!

I agree with what everyone has said about the inner voice. Mine (like i'm sure everyone's is) chimes in on EVERYTHING. My work at work, the state of the housecleaning, being a wife, being a mom, whatever!! Even my actual mom says, "hellllllooooo, you are WAYYY too hard on yourself!!" Got to deal with that!! However, I will definitely say that while I'm not as skinny as I was when I was a teenager, I am definitely happier with myself now!

No!

But I've not been at it long enough to notice a difference yet. I'm still waiting for the exercise high to kick in. When does that happen?

Hasn't kicked in for me yet - but I must say, I do feel better the days I exercise.

Ayuh. Today was one of those days. I did really fine up eating and drinking water until dinner. I even did fine AT dinner. THEN came the birthday cake - one of the women brought a carrot cake. With icing. I didn't stop at 3 bites. I didn't stop at 6 bites I ate the whole PIECE.
Of course it shot my sugar. Oh well.

Tomorrow is also a day.

Oh and I was happier at 19 then I am now. I was all that and a bag of chips. Now I'm pushing 40, 4 kids, fat, lazy, my hair is falling out.

Now I'm just the bag of chips and they aren't even the baked kind!!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

It's okay Linda. For your penance, you must do 2 Sit-Ups and 3 Push-Ups and remember that tomorrow is another day.

With 4 kids, I don't think you are lazy... I think you are TIRED!

Today is my weigh-in...

I'm down 3

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

Way to kick it, Deb!!

 

[LindaBabe]

Today is my weigh-in...

My number is 2

I'm down 3

YEAH DEB! you must be happy with that!

Goals for today.
Good workout at the gym.
Only healthy food, no treats and don't even THINK about the cake.
Lots of water - I read 1/2 your weight in ounces. That jives pretty well with my previous calculation.


Happy Day, All!

good job deb!! I'm almost afraid of the scale for tomorrow!!!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Great job Deb!

I'm thinking the scale isn't going to be my friend tomorrow either. But that is okay, I have another week to keep trying.

 

[rlovew]

Good Job Deb- I don't look forward to my weigh in tomorrow. I have been bad about exercising and eating this week and have seen the difference on the scale each day yet not done anything different. I am determined to actually pull myself out of my funk and get to work on everything this week.

Ok, did my weigh-in this morning! We ate fast food on Saturday night and yesterday for lunch, but I'm still down to 5.5 as my last number (or down 1). DH is out of town this week, so I'll probably end up eating better! Hoping it'll go down more, but at least it's in the right direction!!

 

[joyah]

great job Brooke!!

 

[ddavis860]

That's GREAT Brooke!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Any weight loss is a good loss. Way to go SIOH!

 

[LindaBabe]

219.5 down 2.5 on the year.

Some days are harder than others, don't get discouraged. Take a deep breath, say "I can do this", and regroup sooner rather than later.

Great job Deb, Brooke, and Linda.

I was a bad, bad girl. Target had peeps out today. Needless to say I didn't eat just one. Although the pink ones are gross so I didn't eat any of those!
