Melissa's Weight Loss Journey

[pearlieq]

I'm sorry you were sick! I'm glad to hear you're feeling better, though.

Good job staying focused on your exercise! You can do it!

I've feeling so depressed. Just read the first page where I started this journal Dec 20th and realized I weigh more now than I did then.

I know I haven't done the best but its frustrtating that I've tried to become more active and even if I haven't been making the exercise challenges I'm doing aboug half the goal which is better than the ZERO minutes I'd do before. Just seems so frustrating that I'm trying and doing worse with weight. And I know its not because I'm losing in other areas or measurements as my pants are as tight as ever.

My problem is I keep losing touch. I miss workouts and get sidetracked. Right now I'm having the added stress of financial issues(bankruptcy etc.) making it harder yet on me. I'm trying to use activity as stress buster but its hard going from lazy to exercise maniac.

I've been re-reading Making the Connection by Oprah's trainer(not the new one the old one) and I agree about his daily renewal deal. I think its important to renew that motivation and "reason" everyday.

I'm so frustrate today because I wanna get my workout in but the kiddos wouldn't nap. So I've got it darkened and Lion King on for them and I'm sure they will be out before its half through. So hoping I can move them to bed and get my workout in. Otherwise I'm heading for a walk after dh gets home or might talk him into a walk with us after dinner. haha that man doesn't like to move after work let alone walk.

[Zoesmama03]

thanks.

Getting back on track in morning. Journaling and exercising. I was at my moms all day today and I drank some Mt. Dew which I don't drink at home but I switched to water so I'm proud of that but I was eating way too many jelly beans and chocolate eggs.

 

[Zoesmama03]

Whoa. Been a little while since I posted in my journal.

I'm getting lab work because despite getting more exercise since I started this journal I have GAINED 7 lbs. SOMETHING wrong with this picture??? I did exercise quite a bit maybe not 5-6 days a week but usually 3 even if one is easier walk.

I hope the lab work shows something they can fix. The dr. thought maybe thryoid so she's having that checked. And I think glucose levels to look for diabetes/pre-diabetes and PCOS among other things Insilin Resistance and what not. Hopefully I can get on some treatment that will help me on the weight loss journey. I know there is NO "magic" pill but something that can help my body do its job because exercise should be helping at a min. maintaining weight and I'm actually GAINING so something has to be wrong. I lost weight easily before my dd was born with work but I did lose about 2 lbs a week while on WW 4 years ago. I did gain it back becuase my lifestyle slipped up. I started eating out more since I had no time to cook with a full time job and taking a full load of college classes. It was hard.

Anyway I certainly know the discouraged feeling. I feel like I'm doing all this work for nothing.

 

[Zoesmama03]

Well I had pancakes and 2 eggs for dinner last night.

Today so far just have had 3.5 slices of toast and a glass of tea. 6pts.


I did not exercise yet dd was up when the little one I watch got here and even though I got the little one to nap my dd was up so I didn't start it. I will try to get them to nap on schedule together today so that I can get a workout in. I have to stop eating by 9pm for fast for my blood work I have done in morning so gotta make sure I eat dinner on time. Blood work is at 7am so I gotta fast 8-16 hours. I'll stop by 7pm that will be a good 12 hours.

new water bottle was put on water cooler so I have nice cold fresh refreshing water to drink today.

Hang in there Melissa! Keep drinking your water and watching your points. It has to happen sooner or later, right?
I hope the blood work does show something, because I know you are very frustrated. If it doesn't, please don't give up! Let it be a wakeup call to refocus and try even harder (NOT that you aren't!!!) You are doing way better than me with your exercise!

I'm sending that you see results one way or another this week.
Onward and DOWNWARD Melissa!!!!

TTFN- Sharon

C'mon Melissa! You can do this!!!

hi melly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know what it feels like to start something and get sidetracked. I can be like that too. I also did WW a few years ago and lost 15 lbs, which I have kept off. I learned some importnat principles about food quantities and quality. It was shocking to see a DQ Blizzard (LOVE THEM) could pack on so many points so quickly! Also I learned I was eating too much. I don't need two sandwiches at lunch! Fat grams count ect. All that basic stuff we should know but I didn't.
I am on this path too. We can loose weight! I was diagnosed with a thyroid condition after DS8 was born, but although that helps to know and to have it properly medicated, it will not solve the weight issues. I have learned this 8 years later !
Find your time for you. I know this is hard with little ones, but we all need that!!! You are worth it! Have a good day.

Sweet Melissa!!

How are you doing? I hope you know there are several folks on the WISH boards who are thinking of you, and I just wanted to add my own well wishes for your success!!

You CAN do this! Hang in there!!!

Sending a little PD to brighten your day...
