three posts for one day...

But I have something else to say! (That was not meant to rhyme..)

I tried the hardest workout (when I'm typing the proper word NEVER comes to me..). My gosh! It WAS hard! I don't think I'm going to go to it full time just yet, but I'm looking forward to throwing it in a couple times a week.

I still don't have any weights. They're on the top of my list of things to buy with my next paycheck, tho! That's gonna really make a difference!

What now?

Ok, so I weighed, then I worked out, then I weighed again... Twice. I weighed 1.4 lbs less than I weighed on my first weigh in.... Do I take that??? That means I lost 2 lbs.......

Weigh in..

Lost .6 lbs. I'll take it. :) It's a loss.

Have I mentioned?

I am REALLY excited about living a more active lifestyle. It's not at all uncommon for me these days to suggest taking a walk, whether I've taken my daily walk or not. Before, I would've gone on a walk, but it wouldn't have been my suggestion. I really enjoy it now! And I just feel better, overall. I feel better about myself and more energetic. Not so "Blah".

I'm trying to be patient with myself. I'm trying to change a life here, not just eat skimpy for a few days. I could've done better, but I could've done SO much worse! And I really do think I'm beginning to think differently too. I still have trouble imagining that I'll ever be skinny, but I'm working on it. But more than that, I'm really thinking about being healthy more than being skinny. And my idea of what is "ok" to eat is changing drastically. My addiction to sugar is MUCH better, and that really helps. I still eat it sometimes, but I don't feel so much like I NEED SUGAR NOW.

This week I do want to try to do better and concentrate on keeping track of what I'm eating and whatmore. But regardless of what I end up eating, I'm going to be happy that I'm changing my life. Even if it isn't changed yet.

Weigh in...

Somehow, I lost 1 lb. :D yay! I really expected to have gained, so I'm pretty excited about the loss.

BK

I just ate Burger King. Bad for the diet, but OOOHHH So tasty! remind me of this when I'm whinin' about gaining Monday..... :)

New Favorite TV Show...

Ever watched "I Used To Be Fat"? Inspiring, let me tell ya.

It got me thinking... Why have I gotten so far off track the last couple of weeks? The truth is, I think I was doing really well because I was eating prepackaged meals. A lot of prepackaged meals. It gets expensive fast! So I need to learn to eat right without microwaving it...

Hmmm. A lot to think about. But I'm ready to make some progress!!

Weigh in...

I gained .2. I haven't been very dedicated. :/ But today marks a new week! Let's try this again....

Last night..

I don't know what got into me, but I decided to make fried chicken last night... Yeah, not so great for the ol' diet.. :/

Micky Dee's....

I have this new thing for McDoubles. :( They're SO yummy! (I think this mostly stems from the fact that they're full of fat and I don't get much of that anymore..) I had one yesterday and today. I haven't figured yesterday's total (I have a feeling not so great..) But today I skipped the fries, so I should be ok.. :)

Progress!

I went for my daily walk today and realized after about a mile that I wasn't tired at all. My legs weren't hurting or anything. Even after almost 2 miles I was feeling pretty good. Score!

The only thing is, my lungs were exhausted. I was breathing hard. I sounded like a horse! I started really concentrating on breathing deep and that seemed to help. I'm wondering, am I doing something wrong or should I just give it some more time? How long before a walk around the park doesn't have me out of breath?

Keeping track...

I've strayed away from tracking my food. I think this has been a big downfall for me. So here goes nothin...

1/2 bagel, 4
Cream cheese, 1

Chick-fil-a sandwich, 11
Waffle fries, 10
No-bake, 3

Smart Ones Bagel bites, 7
100 cal pretzels, 3

Total: 39
I'm down to 38 now, so I'm a point over. :/ Good thing I walked today! :D

Weigh in...

I gained .6 lbs. :/ But NSV: I walked every day last week! :) Well, there was one day it was raining, but I worked out that day. My foot is giving me some trouble, but I just keep going!
