Back on Board

Ok... I am back on board today. Regretfully, I am back up to 189 after the holidays. I did not eat right or exercise and I did it by choice. I didn't "lose control" I made a conscience decision to relax and accept the consequences. This whole weight loss thing is a lifetime effort, not a start to finish thing. I got up this morning and exercised only 10 minutes because my blood sugar was over 300. Eating poorly has really affected my blood sugar and so has the lack of exercise. I am allowed 1323-1500 calories and intend to stay a little under that. Breakfast was a Special K waffle and a turkey sausage at only 130 calories. I would say I am off to a great start. Keep me encouraged when you can and let me know how your weight loss is going!

Back on Track

Okay, i put on about 3.5 pounds during the holidays. I know it is terrible, but I am back on track. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical this morning and I am eating right again! I have three Christmas parties in a week so I am motivated to take it back off! I can already see the difference in my face. Here's a picture!

Getting Tired

It is only Wednesday and it has already been a long week. I haven't gotten to exercise yet this week but I will tomorrow. I ate more than I was supposed to today, but that is ok. I won't let food become my obsession. Feeling optimistic about my eating during the holidays.

Tuesday

Today is Tuesday, so no exercise. I am doing well on my eating. Ready to get back to exercising. I have lost a total of 12 pounds, I am at 180 now! WOO HOO!

Sorry

Sorry there have been no blogs for a few days. I have been very busy. Saturday I did good and Sunday I took an off day and really enjoyed it. Today, Monday has been good. I had to take my son to Jackson and I packed a lunch and ate healthy. I have lost another pound so I am up to 11 pounds lost, weighing 181.

Doing okay

I had too many calories yesterday. At the end of the day I just wanted to eat, so I did. Today I am doing better. Dinner at the In-Laws will be good. Hamburgers. I can handle that. I will have to exercise tonight. Life tends to keep me from it sometimes. Busy, busy day.

Over the hump

I am over the nine pound hump! I thought it was going to take forever! It only took a week, but still it seemed like an eternity! Odd thing was, last night I had cookies. I did not go over my max calories, but I did my minimum. Maybe I am restricting my calories too much. I will try to get at least 1281 calories. I am back on track and excited again. I had a bad few days, but I will not let it stop me. The holidays are coming and I want to be able to eat some without worring about gaining it all back. I need to have the momentum and weight loss behind me so I can be motivated to eat well.
