People, I am really proud of myself.  I have stayed on my diet to the letter since I started about 2 1/2 weeks ago and I have done my workouts with much intensity since I started that 1 1/2 weeks ago.  But, the last 3 days have really been good.  I started running again.  I used to run years back when I was about 145 pounds.  But, the great thing is that I am running now at the same intensity I did back then.  I’m running about 11 to 12 minute miles and I’m running for 2 miles.  Today I ran for 23 mins and did 2 miles!  Is it easy?  Parts of it yes, parts of it no.  Especially those last 3 mins. But, I love that I can move like that now.  I can move more than just to the fridge and back to the couch.  A real workout before would have been looking for the remote control.  Bending over to look under the couch, or scurry around looking for it before my favorite show would come on.  Anyway, my weigh in is Sunday.  The scale has showed some change but I’m not clocking it until Sunday. 

I hope everyone else is doing well.  Get yourself mentally ready for the weekend.  And no pigging out on Super Bowl Sunday!  That game will come and go but our weight will be there taunting us the next day.  Think Light Beer for you drinkers out there.

Got your attention?  Just wanted to share the fact that I ran for 20 mins straight.  I ran 2 miles!  I’m just excited that I had to share that with everyone.  And I did it with a good pace and not a whole lot of struggling. 

Well, this morning was the weigh in and I’m happy to report 3 more pounds are gone.  Would I have liked to have seen more?  Sure!  But 3 pounds is still really good.  Today is my rest day and I’m gonna still eat good and tomorrow, workout again.  It’s a slow road and I have to remember that. 

Do you ever leave the gym after a great workout and smell food cooking in the nearby restraunts?

 The weekends around the corner. Sunday is my weigh in day.  I have done really well last week and this week.  I have not cheated once, and I counted every calorie and fat gram.  I worked out this week and plan on working out Friday and Saturday. But, I’m afraid of a couple of things:

1.That I won’t follow through with the food or workout for Saturday. 2. That I will cheat a little and feel guilty all day and get discourgaged.  3. That I will keep my plan but the scale won’t reflect it and then I’ll get mad.

Now, I know I can get crazy over this stuff, but I’m still early in this diet game and I wanna follow through the best I can.  If I fall off now and then, I’d rather it be when I had some significant weight loss behind me and not in my second week. 

Anyway, I hope everyone avoids the temptations of the weekend and stays on whatever plans they have chosen for themselves. 

Remember everyone, Valentines is just around the corner and some of us wanna look and feel good on that day.  And I’m one of them!

I’m very happy.  My weigh in was better than expected.  I was really strict on myself and stuck with my eating goals which were 3 meals a day, 2 snacks, watching every calorie and every fat gram.  I didn’t work out because I just concentrated on food.  Now this week I concentrate on food and working out.  My goal for the week is to go walking 30 mins everyday (except Sunday which is my weigh in and rest day).  Wish me luck!

And I hope everyone is doing well on their diet too.  Tomorrow is Monday and it’s a good day to restart your diet and make adjustments.

 Tomorrow is the weigh in and it better look decent.  I have just concentrated on food this week and not working out.  I just wanted to take it on a slower pattern this time around.  I kept all my diet promises for the week so I’m glad about that but that scale better cooperate or I’m gonna wrap it up with my magic lasso and send it to another galaxy.   Wish me luck.

 Please let me get through Saturday.  My first weigh in is Sunday morning.  I have done really well on my diet this week.  Counting every calorie, counting every fat and staying well below my goals without starving.  But, Saturday is coming and that’s when things are more relaxed and you slip up.  I don’t want to slip up.  I want to complete one full week. I’m gonna do my best to stick with it.  That’s all I can do is my best.

I have kept up with my diet so far.  But, this morning, the very first thought in my head was what a long road this is gonna be.  I lost alot of weight a few years back and it took alot of commitment and running and pain.  So, here I am again and I know what is expected of me in order to look that way again, but it just seems like it’s forever.  I’m still committed, I just wish I could look at small victories as great one’s instead of looking months in advance.

rnP.S. Alot of blogs are mentioning that cookies are being eaten.  Ladies, drop those cookies.  Cookies turn into cakes and cakes turn into burgers and so forth and so on. 

Well, I made it through another day.  I started my diet Sunday but I started on this site today.  I have really done well with my food.  Do I get a little hungry?  Yes.  But, I am determined.  I’m not starving though.  Just really used to that full feeling you know?  I haven’t started my exercise yet because I can’t get to the gym.  Big ice storm rolled in the last couple of days.  I think tomorrow I will make an appearance.  

I can’t blame my weight on my last pregnancy anymore.  I am big and it’s because of my lack of control.  I need to get it together.  I felt better when I was thinner and I looked better.
