Angel's heafty diary.....

I'm happy with me today! The family ate great for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Dh was even thrilled with the grilled chicken salad we had for dinner! We are about to head for bed & neither one of us have reached for any snacks yet! So,, I guess it was filling! My 3 year old picked through the lettuce & ate all of the veggies & chicken, the only thing left on her plate was a little lettuce!!!! I even got in my 3 miles today! 2 miles jogged & 1 mile walked! If only every day was like this. My annual allergies are kicking in, so I'll probably do little the next few days. I'm starting to feel like I'm about to die right now!
 
yep - today I was a slacker - didn't do a darn thing. Luckily the girls took an extra long nap - I stayed in bed as long as they did. to tired to do anything - luckily too tired to eat also! Anyway - back to bed for me. Dh is reading to dd #1 and dd#2 is already asleep! TTFN
 
well, I'm back. Need to get into the groove of things again. Last week I felt horrible all week. Feel a little better today - well I guess alot better from when this all started. gained a pound back last week from no activity - going to start off slow this week. we'll see how it goes.
 
Hey hlangel.

Try not to feel too down about it... if you feel you're not doing well try to get motivated and go for a run/walk, or do some excercise. Once you do you will feel like you've done something about it. :)

I had a bad week last week when I stepped on the scale and saw no change. This week I didnt feel I could face that for a 2nd week, so I worked HARD, and at the end of each workout I felt I'd at least done my best.

Just try and get back into the swing of it all and put your "bad week" behind you. :) (Congrats to your friend by the way!)
 
well, it is 1530 today, and I haven't made it out of the house yet. the girls are fussy, the baby spit up her spinach, so after the second bath today, 3 dozen cookies baked (for school), breakfast done & cleaned up, lunch fed and now they are down for naps. I'm to tired to do anything! I started to try to get them out for a walk - but oh well. We have gymnastics @ 1730, so i guess we'll walk up there - the weather seems okay still. That will give me at least a mile. we'll se if I do anything else!
 
Okay, I think I'm back in the swing of things. Took the girls out last night, then ended up jogging my 2 miles today! I'm feeling like my cold is over (now that the temp here is back down into the 30's. brr. But I can do this! Just a few more pounds and I'll be in the 220's instead of the 230's (small achievements that make me feel good!)
 
Ok girl we are close in weight so get your buns in geaer and lets do this!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I have to get my butt in gear and do something today - it's too easy to stay bundled up to keep warm. I keep telling myself, if I exercise I'll get warm that way - just isn't sinking in yet today. I keep thinking, hubby is getting all buff & sexy while I'm still fat & sloppy. That should be all of the motivation I need - it usually works too! We'll see if it does today!
 
Wow! Props to you for jogging so much! I probably couldn't jog 2 feet without falling over, literally! We have a picture of me laying in the grass at Mackinaw Island all red face and huffing and puffing after try to bike up a hill. I do better at weights, push-ups, crunches, and stuff. Maybe I have a little bit of asthma :p Anyway, like I said, good for you! Hey, about how many calories do you take in during a day? Just wondering because I'm breastfeeding too :) I take in around 1600 a day.
 
Newmommy, That's about what I get in. I was trying to keep it at 1500 cal (300 above the normal 1200 which is recommended) but she was too fussy if I was working out until I added the extra 100 cals. How old is your little one?
 
I'm not doing to bad, I don't think. I'm in the November challenge, so I have to weigh myself for that tomorrow. Hopefully I'm still at my same weight or even down a pund or so. That would be a whole lot better than gaining more weight. We'll see. TTFN - be back tomorrow.
 
Well, good new, wieghed myself. Didn't gain anything, bad news didn't lose anything. But, It had only been 2 days. Just realized we aren't supposed to weigh again until 10 Nov. That gives me more time! DH is working about 13 hours a day right now, so it has been a lot of work with the kids here by myself. This better be over in 2 weeks when his parents get here. If he sticks me with them this much all by myself, I'll poke my eyes out!
 
I have really been slacking here - not posting. But, note to self , do better at that. I have to remember that this is where all honesty is! I did get in a quick jog today. It seems to be getting a little easier. I was just noticing my weightloss. I still have 11 days before I hit my one month mark - of which I didn't have any goals, and I have already lost 7 pounds. I think that is pretty good, considering I can't cut out very many calories, and if I work out very much, I have to consume more calories to keep up my breastfeeding.I will be so excited to hit 220's. I seem to be stuck where I am I feel like. In my head I keep saying, if I can get under 230, then I'm actually acomplishing something. I don't know how I let myself get this heavy. I used to be a national gymnast, I swam in state competitions, and jogged an average of 5 miles a day when I got married. I was still 170, but at 5'8" I was in a size 6 comfortably and looked pretty good. I don't know how people the same height as me can be 120. I would look dead. But then again - reminder to self - no matter how much weight I loose I'm still a DD.Right now, I want to get down to my Christmas Goal. I really think I can do it. If I can stick to the November challenge I will only be left with one pound to get rid of between 30 NOv & 25 December! Need sleep now!
 
Today was such a nice day! I was 229. something this morning when I first woke up (that was even before nursing - I usually weigh afterwards b/c it takes off about .5 a pound!) I always round up. so even 229.1 = 230 in my book. Just my way of making me work a little harder. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't!
After all of that, I was lazy today. After taking D to school, E took a nap then we walked up to the store to buy "Cars" for D! Yes I walked even though it was in the 30's all day today. As I pushed the stroller past the car I wondered "Why am I walking?". I told myself that it is better for me, the baby neededfresh air and there was no point in driving to the store that takes 10 minutes to get to by walking - especially when I wasn't buying enough to need the car to haul it back with. Anyway 8 poumds down. I don't feel like I'm really making any progress though/ I feel thinner. I just know that when I do jog it is easier than it was on day one!
 
Today It was there. ON the scale. 228.8 - Which is of course 229 in my book! But still under 230. another pound and I will have lost 10 pounds since I started. That may not seem like a lot to many, but it is a huge deal to me.
AND THE CHEERING BEGINS! (at least in my head!)
