Two Days Down

squiggly — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 04:00:33 +0000

Well, I’ve survived two days better than what I figured I would do. I didn’t intend on counting points again right away but I did. I just started doing it and fell right back into it. I’m so excited. I know I can do this.

Back At It

squiggly — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 15:59:29 +0000

Ok, i survived the second semester of nursing classes. Two down and one more to go. Yippee!! I am ashamed to say that I gained back close to 15 pounds. Yikes! Well, I weighed in at 254.4 this morning. So where does this leave me. It leaves me with hard work. Stress has gotten me here. I’ve made excuses after excuses. It’s exactly what it is excuses. I am going to work hard and stop making them. Stress is part of everyday life. I don’t believe there is one person out there who can claim to have a total stress free life. I came to the conclusion though that not eating right and not following plan is causing me stress. I made out some diary sheets that will allow me to write down my food for every meal and snack. I have a spot to write down my exercise, track my water intake, and there is even a spot at the end of the week to write my accomplishments and the things I need to work on.

I am on my last day of vacation. I did manage to get rid of the dew during vacation so that is a great thing. I just need to work on food portions, exercise, and the kinds of food. This is doable. I’ve done it before and can do it again successfully this time.

Not Feeling Well

I’m not feeling so well today. I called off work. It’s a good way to stay on plan though. LOL!!! I’m feeling better with my attitude though. Thanks to all the comments that I got yesterday. I like the approach that you all took. I don’t want the standard you’ll do better tomorrow comments. I want the ok you didn’t do this right and let’s try it this way approach. Does this make sense. There is always tomorrow but tomorrow never comes. I want to make positive changes today. I want a kick in the butt. Of course, I want to be told when I do something right because with constructive criticism comes praise for well doing. This is why I have always liked this site. People aren’t afraid to help and you all do it in such a way that isn’t degrading. I appreciate you all. I will do better and make the weight loss happen. I’m currently weighing 247.8. No specific goals except to lose.

I Am Back and Need Serious Help…..

squiggly — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 00:55:13 +0000

I”m ashamed to say that I’ve gained almost 10 pounds back since I’ve been on here last. It really sucks. I had to quit ww due to gas prices. I’m at school full time and it’s going well. I work full time and it’s going well also. My marriage is a little rocky now. We won’t go into our anniversary disaster or the dealings with it.

I just know that I haven’t seemed to be able to get my act together. I eat without thinking. Grabbing a mt dew is not unusual. I could easily grab a water but I don’t. I feel drained majority of the time. Emotionally and physically. I feel like I’m falling apart at the time and it sucks. I know my time is spread thin. I need to get away but can’t afford to. I’m just frustrated with life right now and it sucks. I feel like I’ve failed. I am letting myself down, my family, and Steph down. I want to get back to doing good like I was.

Almost Perfect…

I had an almost perfect day yesterday and it sure felt great. I passed up oreo’s which is a big thing for me lately. They seem to be my food of choice lately. LOL!! I’m off to another good today bu tnot sure how lunch is going to go. I may end up having my free meal today. I’m going to do that once a week. I’m going to try to keep it on Saturday or Sunday because its a week away from weigh in. I am going to accomplish my 10 pound goal this month. I stepped on the scales this morning and it was down from yesterday’s weigh in. I even drank my water yesterday. How cool is that? LOL!!!

Great Day!!

I had an almost perfect day. I did very well today. The feeling I have from doing good is absolutely fantastic. I have to remember this feeling. I have points leftover even but that is okay I don’t plan on using them. I didn’t exercise but I’m not to worried about it. I’ll exercise tomorrow. I’m feeling confident. I have no excuses to make now. School gave me way to many. I have to learn to get rid of the excuses even when I’m stressed. It goes to prove that old habits die hard. They also say that it takes 3 weeks to make habits and I’m off school for 4 weeks. I am going to make new habits!

Long Awaited Break

squiggly — Fri, 02 May 2008 18:24:38 +0000

Ok, I survived my first semester of nursing school. I passed all classes with A’s and B’s. It sure was a long semester. Ok, no weight loss to speak of but I’m still at where I was when I started classes this semester. I can’t complain to much. I’m off for a month now and I’m going to work on making things right. I’m going to limit eating out. It’s what killed me during the semester. I’m going to take full advantage of my time off. I’m going to try to lose 10 pounds this month. I think with hard work and determination I can do it.

Finally

squiggly — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 00:03:46 +0000

I finally feel like I’m somewhat back in control. It’s been a long time coming. Maybe because I’m getting a week away from the end of the semester. It’s very possible. I’m walking again which really helps. Heck, I’m thinking about getting up early in the morning to take a small walk. Wow, did I just say that? LOL!! Yes, I did. I’ll let you know later if I actually do or not. I’m doing better food wise. I’m not perfect but I’m getting better and back to counting my points. I’ve got a little ways to go but I see only good things from here on out. I can do this!

Everything Is Beautiful!!

I’m super excited now. My mother in law is back to walking with me and boy does it make a huge difference. We walked for almost an hour today. It’s nice to have someone to talk to. The walk doesn’t feel like exercise. I am so happy right now. We are going to do it again tomorrow. I’m also going to shoot for a second walk tomorrow if I can get it in. The weather is beautiful. Work is better. I’m passing both of my classes with B’s. Life is good. I haven’t felt this good in weeks so I’m pretty psyched. Ok, I’m off to do homework.

Getting Motivated Again

squiggly — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 14:32:42 +0000

It’s been a while since I blogged on here. I gained .6 pounds like week after a rough week. It’s okay though. I thought it was going to be far worse. It really helped me rethink things over though. Steph and I were talking on the way to our ww meeting about exercise and how important it is. Then, the topic of the meeting was exercise and the excuses we make. It sure hit the spot and helped to reenergizie me. It may take me a long time to lose this weight and I’m going to have my ups and downs BUT I will not quit!!! I’m going to put in an extra effort this week. It’s hard with school, work, and family. Stress is definetely catching up to me even physically. I’ve had canker sores on my tongue this week (they are gone now), heart palpitations (these were scary but not painful), and my period is late. LOL!! ON top of the earthquake, it’s been a weird week. LOL!! I have to lose this weight and I have to work hard at doing what I’m supposed to do. It’s doable. Small changes this week. I will drink water NO dew and NO cupcakes. I am going to lose at least 1 pound next weigh in. OH yeah, no more missing meetings. They are way to important.
