New Week

Today is the start of a new week. I've done okay on my diet thus far but in order to see real results, I am going to kick it up a notch or two.

One of the things I do not understand is why losing weight is so difficult. I mean, gaining weight is one of the easiest things to do; it slowly creeps upon you without you knowing and then WHAM! you've put on an exI atra 50 pounds. 

So I am bent on continuing to struggle with my weight issue and I will be able to get it under control. Today is a new day and a new week. It is also the first Monday in a new month!

More to come soon!

Day 11 Part 2

I have done terrible today! I have had soo many bad days that I am very embarassed. NO MORE BAD DAYS.

Tomorrow is a new day...

Day 11

My fear from yesterday came true. I gained 1.2 lbs back. I will now spend the next few days concentrating on what my body needs, what types of foods I am putting into my body, and the signals my body is telling me I am satisfied or hungry. At least I know I can lose it as I have lost the weight previously.

I am going to drink lots and lots of water today.

I am not going to let the fears, disappointments and the joys of today affect what food items go into my body. I choose to eat healthy and to be healthy.

Day 9 and 10

Yesterday, I did really well. I did get discouraged last night when I weighed myself. But this morning I weighed myself and lost 1.2 lbs.

I have got to get a hold of myself. Anytime I lose weight, I get really excited and want to reward myself with food. Tomorrow is another day and I will reward myself in different ways. I need to not let myself think any negative thoughts as that is what depresses me. I know it is not impossible to lose weight, but there are moments when I think it is impossible. These are the moments when I become discouraged and turn to food for comfort. I cannot let myself do that anymore!

Why is it so hard?

Day 8

Yesterday was Day 8 on my weightloss adventure. I woke up and had kashi go-lean cereal for breakfast. I had an icee for a snack and had seafood leftovers for lunch, not the healthiest but a lot better than Saturday; I only ate when I was hungry and stopped when I was satisfied.

I went to the gym and ran on the elliptical yesterday for 40 minutes and felt great!

Today is a new day and I will do better than yesterday with food. I am realizing that the secret to weightloss is 90% what I put into my body and 10% exercise.

Today I am going to focus more on everything little thing that goes into my body and I will do better today than I did yesterday.

Day 7

So yesterday I arrived home in the afternoon and decided to weigh myself...I GAINED WEIGHT!!!

I pretty much decided to write today off (after weighing myself yesterday); what with the cheeseburger and fries for lunch, popcorn for a snack, and wings, pizza, fried pickles, and chips for dinner tonight. After all, it's football season. I know I know I know.Maybe I'll have a glass of milk!

I'll write more tomorrow and will need lots of prayers for the strength for eating healthy tomorrow. I'm also determined to hit the gym before church in the morning.

Day 5 and Day 6

Yesterday was Day 5 of my weightloss. I must say that attempting to start any kind of change on vacation, is a lost cause, especially when I'm at my in-laws. However, I have eaten healthy (for the most part) and feel really good about my body.

The question now is what will my scale think and say?

Today is Day 6 and I did have some healthy blueberry cobbler this morning. It really is healthy! I have the rest of the day and am bound and determined to do well today.

Tomorrow I will weigh in and here's to hoping the scale will be nice!
