I am up .8 of a pound. I weighed in at 159.4 this morning. I am getting mad at my body. It's like my body likes being at 160 ish. I know I have hit a plateau, and I need to mix things up a bit. I am sick today....have a bad ear infection, so I will update my ticker later. I'm going back to bed. Bye. Have a good day.
I have to share this. We need laughter to keep going. Have a GREAT day today Losers! RESIST TEMPTATION!

Ouch!!!
On Thursday, I had an appointment for a free consult with a personal trainer. She was doing all these "Evaluations" of me doing specific exercises. I had to balance on a weight table on one foot, then extend the one leg and do an air squat as many times as I could. I did okay until I had to try and balance with my bad right knee. I about fell on my face!
So, we move on to push ups. I did about 15. Then sit ups. Pilates sit ups. I did 20.....pretty good I guess. Then she has me do these crazy lunges on a step thingie. OH MY HEAVENS. Walking lunges suck, bit these suck harder.
We then went on worked on my abs. Um, I have a jelly belly. I truly think I saw the men at the gym giggling at me. Old fluffy woman attempting this, I would have laughed at me too, if I could have ! I was attempting to pull my self up an a bar with my abs. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAAHAHa!
So last night,My hubby and I go out. We decide to go to the gym to work off dinner. I did a mile in 13 minutes ( That is a record for me...I know, sad. They will kick me out of that marathon in PArk city for sure!)
Then I did the weights again.
I am so sore today. I can't move. Ouch.
Breakfast: 6 oz Low-fat yogurt, small orange. Glass of water.
Lunch: !1 small wheat tortilla, 1 oz turkey, mustard tomato slice. half cucumber with 1/4 cup low-fat ricottta cheese, 6 baked lays. Water
Snack: Mini 10,000 grand candy bar
Dinner: 4 oz chicken breast, 1/2 cup lemon rice, onions, 2 tablespoons cucumber sauce, 1 small pita.
So, I have been a hermit the past week. I weighed in last week, and my weight was up 2.2 pounds. Now, I knew it was because of my period., but still, I beat myself up badly over the weight gain. I had been soooooo good that week, and Aunt Flo really got me. I have serious female problems, and honestly, I have not had a period like this one since I was in high school. The bloating, the cramps. I think my husband was ready to divorce me, my PMS was that bad.
So, I withdrew from everything and everyone. I'm sorry I haven't updated.
So, my weight was in the 150's this week. ( 158. 6 ) If you go from what I was for the monthly weigh in, I have lost 2.6 pounds. Since I gained last week, I have lost over the last 2 weeks 4.8 pounds. Does that make sense? I hope so!
So, The question of the week is :
What is your REAL reason or purpose is for losing weight?
Well, for me it honestly isn't about fitting into a pair of skinny jeans, although taht is a great reward! I was and am tired of being tired. Huffing up and down the stairs, not being able to keep up with my kids.
I remember my MIL asking me for a recent picture of me with one of our children. I looked through all my albums online and around the house, and couldn't find ONE picture of me with any of my children. How sad is that? I hid behind the camera, and used that dang camera as my crutch. I saw a commercial not long after that about a woman who noticed she wasn't in any of the family's vacation pictures because she was ashamed of her weight, and realized that she was erasing herself from her childrens memories. I cried like a baby. That was me.
I was, and have been so uphappy with me, and using food as my emotional fallback. Food was something to look forward to, or as a substitute for human contact, or lack of contact. A " High" in a way.
I am learning , albeit slowly that happiness is depedant on me, and I can't rely on food to make it all better. I have to take the bull by the horn and demand that I am deserving of happiness, of good health and a healthy, not overweight, tired body. My kids deserve a Mom that can run outside, and smile when some one pulls out a camera. Not run and hide because she is ashamed of her outward appearance. I am truly working on my inner spirit as well as my physical body. So, I am doing both. I want my 4 girls to love their bodies, to have healthy habits. That can't do that if their own Mother can't. I HAVE to do this, I NEED to do this.
So, those are my reasons. :)
I had a ton of fun last night. It was great meeting Patty and Becky. It's amazing to me how many sacrafices each of you make to make time for yourselves to get healthy. With family, and jobs, it's so nice to see how commited you all are. Kudos!.
Yeah, It is was pretty crazy that Patty knows my first flame and his wife. It was nice to hear he is happy and doing well! Small word, eh? It's really cool to see the connections we all have. Cool and a little weird!
Well, My goal shirt and pants fit. ( well, fit is stretching it a bit!) I could actually button up my shirt this time. I am thinking I need to get a different goal shirt now, since it will make me look pregnant no matter how much weight I lose.
Melissa presented me with our first monthy prize....110 dollars. I will be buying clothes as I lose.
I had an idea. I liked Patty's idea of a workout for girls night. Maybe we could each plan a workout..a favorite DVD or video to do for 3o minutes. Maybe we could do it after dinner. I would love to play the Wii...I have bever played before!
Okay..that was Patty's idea, my idea was to maybe have a clothing exchange for those of us around the same size. We could bring our jeans and items that no longer fit, so that others can get some use out of them before they change sizes. Just a thought. For me....I don't hang on to my " fat " clothes, so I don't have any excuse to ever wear them again!!
Let us repeat after Christi;
There are no shortcuts.
Dedication, commitment. Believe in myself.
Change has to take place inside ME.
I'm my own top priority.
Caring about myself & doing good things for myself is not only my right, but my responsibilty.
Believing I am unworthy is the single greatest barrier to my success in achieving not only my weight loss, but anything worthwhile.
