Debster's Diary

Have a good time at your workout! It almost feels strange to say that... I never used to think of them as fun, but now am starting to think of them that way, and they're great time to think about everything and nothing!

Congrats on the two pounds!
 
Oooohhh I love it when the clothes start to actually feel right & not so tight!

Hope this next week treats you even better. Keep up the great work lady! :)
 
I am still motivated with this new way. I really do like this site. So much info and support. I am making the right choices and not grabbing the bad stuff. I have a crazy weekend, carnival on friday, I do like the carny food. I will have to behave myself.

My newly 5 year old just discover fried dough (from our community block party a few weeks ago) he is looking forward to having another one at the carnival. I will remeber it is for him..(be strong, be strong...mental thoughts).

The scale is going down again but I am not counting it yet since my weigh in is not until next week but it is nice to see.

I have also signed up for Fitday.com, it really is helping me see what my intake is for the day.

Thanks for the input everyone.
Debbie
 
Just checking in to see how you're doing! You're probably enjoying the holiday weekend like all the normal people I know :).

See you soon!
 
Hello Everyone,

Had a busy weekend, did not use computer all that much. I just logged in to add my steps for the woman challenge.
We had a great week this week, YAY, GO TEAM GO!!!!

I have to agree with gwal about it not thinking of it on a day to day basis, that is the way I used to think and would always say tomorrow would be better but tomorrow was never better. This time around, it is an entire way of thinking, today I am doing it and if I decide to indulge it will be included in my overall plan. I have been making great choices, bad food is not looking all that great anymore. I thought I would never get back into this way of thinking since it has been three years of eating mindlessly.
I have lost another 2 pounds and feeling much better, not tired all the time, not wanting to eat bad stuff. I can even look at the doughnuts my dad brought for the kids and say. Yuck. It is not bothering me that they are in the house. (ps. I have been getting my kids to make wise food choices and they too are not grabbing the bad stuff too much.)

I have been walking everyday, sometimes twice a day and I do not want to miss it. I try my dardest to get out there and walk.

I realized today that while I was growing up we never had fruit given out as a snack, it was always cookies, chips, cakes etc. I now make sure I have some kind of fruit to offer the kids when they are hungry for a snack. It is great to have my 5 year old say, mom, can I have a banana" :hug2:

well that is enough rambling on, have a great day everyone. I am going to fix my slidy thing.
Deb
 
Deb, I'm glad your good habits are carrying over to your kids. Mal is right, those habits will keep them in good health even years from now.

And YAY!!! on the additional two pounds! You are doing awesome :).

ok can I tell you how impressed I am with this! One day I might be there.

Congrats on the two pounds & raising those kids with some perspective of what healthy choices are.

Hope tomorrow is wonderful & you are enjoying all those walks.
 
Hello everyone,

It has been a tough few days, seems as if something has gone wrong everyday since Thursday of last week. It is getting as if I do not want to get out. I even wrote up what happened here on my diary and when I came on today it was not here. I either forgot to hit submit or posted on another member's site. (I hope not, sorry if I did). I was stopping in on some diary's to say hi so hopefully I just forgot to hit submit. Just goes to show how bad luck is with me.

I do not want to rewrite what I thought Yesterday, it just has been hard and stressfull the last week. I have been doing well with eating right. I like Fit day, it does all the figuring out for you. Seeing the reports and graphs is a motivator lifter. I have to go back and place in the food since Thursday, I did not input it but I did write it down.
Which already is a big change.

Well the good part of the week is that I lost another 2 pounds, for a total of 6. It makes me feel good but I do have some stress over me and that is bringing me down.
Bad people experience, sometimes I would rather hang out with my cats.

well hopefully the days get better.
Deb
 
i feel your pain on the bad luck - some days i feel like if it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all :)

all things pass eventually - like kidney stones unfortunately - it might be a little painful but drink your water and eventually you'll get to flush :D bad analogy... sorry my sense of humor is on the vacation I desperately need...


I do hope your week improves....

celebrate the grand total of 6 lbs -that's awesome... :)
 
Sorry you are having a rough week. Take out the frustration on some exercise. :)


You'll get through it.
Wish I could share the pizza with you... especially since there are two in the box.
 
Debbie, I hope your week takes a turn for the better. Sending over some happy thoughts.

And definitely contrats on the total of 6 lbs now! That is awesome :). I'm glad you're able to stay on track even with the stressful week.
 
Thanks for the happy thoughts and Pizza :)

It is getting better, no bad news or stressful situations. Just the 'normal stuff' I can handle that. Just the extra craziness I, guess we, really do not need.

I am doing well with eating healthy with the help of you guys, this site and fitday. I am actually better understanding how all this stuff works. I am counting calories instead of doing the points (since I used to be ww, it was what I was familiar with) but actually seeing the exact calories and fat content in items is really helpful and having fitday calculate everything is awesome. I never realized that you could eat 1200-1500 even more calories and still loose, seeing the calories used and eaten graphs are very helpful.

The best thing that I am beginning to understand is the weight fluctuations throughout the week/day. I heard that it flunctuates but never really paid it much attention or even believed it, I would see the scale go up and then say o, well I blew it then be depressed and not care to follow the plan for a few days. Now I see the scale go up/down but it the long run it is down. I have been having a constant 2 pound loss for the last few weeks. I know it may not stay that way but knowing I am eating right it will continually come off. Tomorrow is my weigh in day sop we shall see how this week went. It seems ok at this point.

Thanks for stopping by :hug2:

Debbie, I'm glad you're staying on track so well!

Since coming here, and starting to track calories, food is becoming less of the enemy. It's nice to see how much healthy food I can actually eat in 1500 calories! I'm sure from your post you're having similar luck.
 
Morning,

Just weighted myself, lost a half pound :) not the two but still a loss. Well Just stopped in to report the loss, I have the day off but need to run the kids to doctor appts.

They are ok just the yearly physical and a counselor for my 5 year old, he gets very angry when he does not get his way and even throws chairs. He does this at his daycare, never with me. Most of the time he is an angel but it used to be very infrequent but lately he has been acting out on a weekly basis. I am at my wits end. I punish (send him to his room, no playtime) him but then a few days go by then Wham another episode.

Have a good day everyone.
Deb
 
what adventures with your child... Has he ever been diagnosed with food allergies - (I hate non-parents who feel the need to offer parental advice but I will anyhow) I've read a lot recently that some food allergies or even sugar can trigger outbursts in children and if it happens when you're not around perhaps he's eating something that he's not when you are there... and i's causing it.

Good luck with getting to the cause behind it.
 
Hi again :).

Even half a pound is good progress! Keep it up, and you'll get that two.

I'm sorry your son is acting up. I know it can be frustrating. I hope you get to the root problem and that the behavior stops.

See you later!
 
Mal, I will take any and all advice on this one.

I was thinking the same thing. I know he does have a lot more sugar filled snacks then he should. I am guilty, being he is the forth I get tired and do not want to hear the screaming so I give in. I have since started to work on it. Letting him know that he has to eat good food so he can get big and strong. At the doctors yesterday, she too talked to him and he seemed to understand. So, hopefully all gets better.

Being I was out and about yesterday, my eating was not so good. I stopped in witht he kids at Pizza hut for thier lunch buffet. Let's just say I enjoyed myself a bit too much. but right back on plan today.

I am beginning to realize that not eating right really affects me throughout the rest of the day. If I have good steady foods I do not have bad cravings or sometimes none. But if I eat yucky, oh my...whatch out. I am more in tune with my body this time. This will definately help in the long run.

Good day everyone.
Deb
 
I would kill for pizza hut cinamon sticks right now! And I'm still wanting that donut. I think I'll do the donut tomorrow though. I've been doing well and have had absolutely no junk food other than gobstoppers in the past 6 weeks. And it was only a half a package or less of gobstoppers. Not feeling guilty!

I hope that with a more balanced diet your son is more balanced, too. Keeping sugary foods in the house is hard not to do sometimes, but well worth it in the end.

My cravings typically hit near the end of the day/evening hours and follow the same pattern as yours. If I eat all meals during the day then I dont have cravings later. Also, if I get enough protien and carbs, then I don't have cravings later either. When I'm short on both protien and carbs...
