Going Down For Good

Long time no see

Tue, 24 Apr 2012 17:08:04 -0400

I can’t even tell you the last time I posted on here.

I caved. I feel like a failure once again.

I kept telling myself I would start again tomorrow… tomorrow… tomorrow. Well tomorrow was months ago.

Embarrassed is what I really am. And guilty.

Getting back on my eating plan ~~tonight~~ right now!

Anyone over 200lbs? I would love to follow you :)

One of the few packaged items I still buy. This flavor is my healthy guilty pleasure. Yum!

I did it. I’m 3 days late but I made my first goal of 320 lbs.

I am so proud of myself.

27 lbs lost.

I will do this!

I am so glad the holidays are over! I didn’t overeat at all so I was pretty proud of myself for that.

I did however indulge in one super thin slice of chocolate chip bundt cake. It gave me major heartburn. Go figure.

We ate on the road yesterday coming home from my dad’s. Cheese burgers and fries for everyone. I ate it and didn’t feel bad at all. I stayed within my calorie range even with “eating bad”.

Something I have realized over these past several weeks is moderation. No one ever taught me moderation so it’s something I have learned by myself. It’s why I can have a cheese burger and still lose weight over Christmas holiday.

I never felt deprived this weekend. I never went hungry. I never envied how over stuffed everyone felt after they ate that 2nd piece of apple pie. I felt great all weekend and even had someone comment that I looked like I had lost weight.

All in all, it was a great weekend and I don’t feel like I have to get back on track because I never got off to begin with. :)

Went to Cracker Barrel for dinner and ate off the kids menu JUST so I would have enough calories left for a biscuit. :)

Haven’t been on in a couple of days.

Aunt Flo finally left so I weighed in yesterday.

323 - down 4 lbs from last week.

Holy freakin’ cow.

Only 3 lbs away from my first goal. And I still have 11 days to reach that goal. Whoop!

There is a little part of me that is insane right now. I am loading up the kids and going to the mall. 5 days before Christmas. I may never make it out alive.

Wish me luck! :)

Goodness I feel like a wild animal that hasn’t eaten in months and all I want is meat.

I’m pretty sure the reason I am craving protein so much today is because it’s that time of the month for me.

I am already over my protein recommendations for the day but I am totally OK with that. I will more than likely go over my calories today and I’m OK with that too.

I’m just glad I’m not one of those women that only crave chocolate during this time. Meat and protein I can deal with. Chocolate, no way. I’d have eaten a whole bag of M&M’s by now.

Hopefully I’ll be back to normal in a few days. I know my kids sure hope so!

Today I am completely exhausted.

My little girls had a dance recital that lasted nearly 3 hours. I was up at 6:30 this morning to get them ready for a 9am dress rehearsal and then the show was at 3:30. They were troopers all day. Actually, all the kids were.

They did so well and I am one proud mamma.

I didn’t have time to bike yesterday or today but I am pretty sure all the running around today counted for something. Back and forth and back and forth to the dressing rooms and stage. Exhausting. Eww and today was so hot in the FL. It was nearly 80 outside!

I got a good work out I’m sure of it!

Weigh in day is tomorrow but I will be skipping it until, a’hem, Aunt Flo leaves. She is about to wear out her welcome here!!

Happy weekend y’all!

So not only did I weigh this morning, I just measured myself.

I have lost 8 inches already off my hips!

I also lost 2.5 inches from my waist and .5 inch from my neck.

I kinda knew my hips have been getting smaller since even my baggy lounge pants are VERY baggy.

I love it!

I don’t usually weigh myself during the week. I know my weight fluctuates so I weigh at the same time and same day each week.

Well this morning I decided to step on the scale and see where I was for the week… Down 2 lbs since Sunday!

I’m so excited this morning! I have a goal of 320 by the end of the year, which would mean 6 more lbs to lose, and I don’t plan on failing.

Came in under my calories (599 under) and carbs (131 under) for the day but I didn’t eat very good.

I did good this morning. I had a yogurt after riding my bike and then a green juice at the health food store but it went downhill after that. I have been so busy today that I just didn’t have time to fix something to eat.

But I am NOT gonna sweat it. I got on the scales after my shower this afternoon and I have still lost a pound since Sunday. And that was AFTER I ate pizza.

The little girls had a Christmas pageant at the church/school tonight so there went my chicken soup for dinner plans. It went way over the time frame I thought it would take. My littlest one said her belly wanted Sonic for dinner. So mommy gave her what she wanted.

I ended up going to Whataburger and getting their grilled chicken on whole grain bun. I did get myself a small tot at Sonic just because. And you know, it was plenty. Just enough to get the craving over with but not so much that I feel bad about it.

Tomorrow is a new day and I am vowing NOT to eat junk. Chicken noodle soup is calling my name. Now if it would just hurry up and turn winter here in Florida!

Ate some (and by some I mean 1/2) Papa Murphy’s vegetable Delite pizza for a late lunch. Felt a little guilty. Just rode for 2.65 more miles on the bike.

Not so guilty now.

So far today I have burned 504 calories. Not too shabby for me.

They’re not thinking that, well at least I’m pretty sure they aren’t. And even if they are, screw em. They’re not aware of your goals and how determined you are to succeed. So you go into that health food store with your head held high. Go YOU. I felt the same way when I…

Thanks. I don’t know what it is about this one store but I never feel welcome there. Thank you for you kind words. They really mean a lot.

I want some dogs. My kids want dogs. My husband (kinda) wants dogs.

But what I find ironic is that I want them for the very reason that I didn’t want them before.

I want to walk them. And go to dog parks and play frisbee with them.

I want to exercise with them.

Talk about coming full circle.
