Keep me motivated!

Well that creepy guy wasn't there....YAY! I went for my usual walk early in the morning. I sure do enjoy them very much! It has now become a habit for me, which is a good thing!
I have never tried chicken sausage, but I will! I didn't even know they made that?!
My eating is going okay I guess. I have been eating very well, and I always eat a healthy breakfast, but latley(like yesterdya and the night before) at night it has been getting hard for me, I want to EAT :eek:
I don't, because eating before bed is so so so bad, but why has the urge gotten so bad? It's frustrating. I also have been craving something bad for me, Like nachos..LOL! Some things that are very greasy turn my stomach, but Not enough. I'm just not where some of you are yet, in the food area. It has been difficult! I know some of you gross out on even thinking about things like nachos and chili fries and chicken wings and pizza!! Not me...Not yet anyways. I'm hoping the cravings will leave me soon! HURRY!! I can't take that feeling of wanting something bad! I was a serious food addict, Like a drug, and my withdrawls are still present! I believe I will be ride of the food addict soon!:confused: I HOPE
 
I'm glad the creepy guy wasn't there. You're doing sooo well with your walking:)

To curb some of those cravings you can make a healthy alternative.

Like french fries for example... you can cut up potates and/or sweet potatoes (which I love) into french fry strips and lay them on a baking sheet and but some seasoning on them and just a lil drop of olive oil and bake them. Its really good. There just baked fries.. I don't know if this would help you but it helps me.

I know others make a healthier pizza.

If any of this interests you ... ask me and I can help you figure out/find some recipes:)
 
Hi! Take it a little at a time. You're doing great. I'm trying to facing losing weight with toddlers in tow. I also know I'm just not a morning person. It's so difficult to find time in the day. I recently wrote about this in my journey in my post on .

Don't get down on yourself and take it a day at a time. You've taken the hardest step--Committing to change!
 
Thank you both! Jenna... that great advice, you made me hungry...lol. I am gonna make that today! And the healthier pizza, Yeah I do that! I try to grill everything I make..lol, with my lean mean grilling machine, I love it! Anyways, I can always use recipes! Keep em coming! Thanks

So today was weigh in day...UGH! I now weigh..DRUMROLL.................................................................................


291 YAY, thats good! I lost 4 lbs that is what my goal is a week, for now.
So I am doing what I'm doing and keeping strong! It has been 21 days! It is now officially a Habit! A great habit! it has become easier to get going now, I thought I would never say that! WOW, I am so proud of myself!

Yesterday was bad though..yikes, I kinda had a lot of indulgence. It seems to be harder for me when my husband has his days off from work, he makes me lazy and want to eat a lot! So yesterday I had some tortilla chips and jalapeno cheese, though it actually made me sick, so thats kinda good..lol. but it still tasted good! And We also had some port wine and brie cheese and French bread :eek: omg sooo good! But SOOOOO BAD! I have this feeling that if I had not indulged yesterday I would be 10lbs lighter but Oh well I will have to settle for 9lbs and Brie cheese.....That's okay with me! LOL!:jump:

Woohoo that is great even if you did indulge a little yesterday. Congrats on losing 4 lbs this week. I know mondays are my weigh in days too. Although i wasn't looking forward to today's weigh in since i had slacked off when my family was here from oregon last week.
 
Congrats on your loss:) Doesn't it make you want to jump up and down:jump:

I'm glad your meeting your goals and its becoming easier for you to get going today:)

My boyfriend was complaining the other night because he wanted some sort of junk and there was none... I refused to go get him some (he doesn't drive I do) LOL You didn't do too bad with your husband ... could have been worse and you still lost 4 ... so you had a treat:)

Did you make the fries?
 
..

wow! congratulations beautiful!!

Youre doing awesome, and Ive been craving nachos all week, lol !

But havent I havent given in, and you dont have to either! :)

Stay strong, youre doing awesome.

xo
 
it took me a year and im down 78lbs from 342 to 264lbs i worked hard but it was well worth it at the end i feel great.

heres a tip if your knees/feet hurt when your walking/running you should invest in a eleptical or join a gym and use there equipment i found that it works you harder than running and it saves your knees and feet from fatigue and blisters.its very possible too loose 150lbs you just have to work at it and avoid fatty food like pizza burgers and all fast foods sure it convenient but so is being fat.
 
Thanks you guys for the support. Thanks Zo for the tip. I can't join a gym right now, cuz ..well I don't have the funds! But I was using the apt gym, but there treadmill sucks and I think it is broken! UGh, So I just go outside! I like it! I feel like I get a good workout. It is true about my knee though, I should go inside for the sake of my leg! I just really don't want to!

Toadya I feel BLAH and i really don't feel like writing in this thing!
I am doing the same thing, you know walking and eating right! It seems to be gettting a bit easier....just a bit :rolleyes:

Has anybody seen that new show, Fat walk or something like that...I can't remember the name, but I think it is Fat walk....Anyways, I shoulda been on that show! :rotflmao: That would have been cool, you know, lose weight and win money! Yay! I wish!

I am not feeling so good anymore, for some reason I feel heavy again and round m( if you know what I mean) and I wasn't feeling this way two days ago? Could this be bloating? I really don't know what that is? Or if I do it? But I feel kinda crappy, and it sucks :confused:
 
I've spot read through your diary and incase it hasn't been suggested already, I know there are "mom" clubs all over where the mom's can get together and do all sorts of activities. I am not a mother, but a girlfriend was mentioning this to me that she is apart of a club where the mom's do cardio activities together that include their kids. My step-brother's girlfriend also mentioned something kinda similar to me once, but I think that is more of a general mom's club where they get together for all sorts of activities, not just exercise activities. If you'd like I can ask my girlfriend the name of her club and see if it is one that is nationwide and maybe in your area.

Keep it up though, you're doing great! :)
 
I have those days... where I just feel absolutely larger than life ... its a horrible feeling but it goes away.

You're doing so great getting out there everyday... it takes a lot of effort to do it especially when your knee hurts. Just do what you can... as long as you try your best you can not be disappointed just strive to accomplish more in the future.
 
well today was difficult getting going, but once that blood starts flowing I feel great! I am feeling much better today! Yesterday was wack! I was having a depression episode! YIKES, I ate very very poorly, I don't want to list what I ate, but I worked it off today! I am doing great today!. I am so proud of myself for not giving in so easily, like throwing in the towel all together, usually I would have a horrible day like yesterday and say....what's the use and just give up, but not this time! I have changed! I just wish I would change physically FASTER!!!!:)
 
You CAN do it!
The fact that you are aware of what you need to do and are taking steps towards your goal is awesome!
I totally understand what you mean about comparing yourself to others and feeling discouraged. I am the exact same way. It's hard to get over that.

I always found it really hard to eat what I was "supposed" to eat. I am a huge junk food lover and before I got pregnant, it didn't matter what I ate because I wouldn't gain. Now my body is totally different and I have to watch everything I put into my mouth.
Start slow. I gradually started eating better because everytime I got all gung ho about it and ate super healthy, I'd give into my cravings for junk, then give up all together.
Pretty soon your body will start craving the good things.
Now when I want a snack, I want carrot sticks and dip, or fruits if I want something sweet. I didn't think that would ever happen! lol

Just know that you have a ton of support here!
20lbs is a great start and I know you'll do great!:)
 
Thanks mama! thats exactly how I feel. I did start slow and now I am doing so good. I still have cravings sometimes, but I know those will subside soon( I Hope), but I have done that so many times, got gung ho..lol...and then caved and gave up! that's kinda what happened yesterday I caved big time, and I actually felt sick to my stomach after eating the S**t I ate, and I never want to do that again! It's almost like when you go out drinking(for the drinkers who know what I'm talking about, if you don't drink...then try to imagine) and your out having fun and then you get smashed drunk:jump: and the next day you feel like you never want to even see a drink!! That's kinda how it was for me. I honestly can't believe that is the stuff I used to eat regularly everyday, and a lot of it....Gross. if your wondering what...it consist of buttery noodles, cookies, chips, and treats. I had a binge and regretted it, but I'm back on track now and I do not ever want to do that again, it was nasty!! The best part and the part that gives me confidence and pride is that I DIDN"T give up! I'm still here doin' it!!
Thanks for everyone's support!
Mama Tubs, you look so cute in that picture!

I'm sooo Proud that you didn't give up. It is soo easy to get frustrated and give up. One of the most difficult changes to make... at least that I find... is our minds. You seem to be making the mental changes that will lead to the enevitable physical changes.

Keep up you amazing work and you'll some really wonderful results!
 
Thanks all! Jenna, your attitude is awesome xoxox
Anyways, I'm still here doing the same. nothing new to say or report right now, so have a good day :)
 
yup still here doin the same thing!! LOl, I know my real weigh in day is not til monday, but I still weigh myself everyday, I just can't help it! Anyways, it went down to 287 :O hopefully it will be that or lower on monday! that is awesome!
I am very excited today and in such a good mood! It is only 12 days til our vacation to Disneyland ! We are so excited! I booked the hotel and thats it we are ready to go! My sons birthday is on the 16th so we are going for his birthday. I am a bit nervous about keeping track of my eating and staying on track! I still plan on exercising in the morning! Maybe not walking but something! I do plan on indulging some, which is mostley why I'm excited! LOL!! j/k naw but it is my vacation, plus I feel all the walking at disneyland will help to burn some of that indulgence, also we are going to the beach and I was thinking about going for a walk or a run :eek: uh huh! we'll see, it will probably be a family walk along the beach! OOOo I am stoked!!! :jump: :jump: :rotflmao: :jump: :jump: :) :) :) :cool:
 
WTG 287... That's awesome!!! Hopefully it says less on Monday:)

Disneyland sounds like sooo much fun! You'll do your best to try and balance fun, exercise, and eating... the most important thing is to have tons of fun!

:hug2:
 
congrast on getting to 287. Second, we go to disneyland like 1 time every 3 months or so since we have annual passes but usually we walk about 15 to 20miles a day there so you will definetly get some major walking done there. I would recommend you making sure to drink plenty of water while your there cause all the walking and stuff will make you really thristy. Hope you have fun while your there. I know we do its a blast but also a great way to exercise too since you do tons of walking there.
 
That's great to hear Momma..hehe. I figured the walking would help me if I decide to have something naughty! Which I will :jump:
And Ionly drink water, if you can believe that, I occasionally have tea, or milk fat free of course! So I definatley plan on getting plenty of water! Thanks for the advice!! You are lucky to go 4 times a year, do you live close? you must?

Anyways, today is going okay! I went out this morning so good start, but my eating is just not happening! I just don't have an appetite, In a way I feel like...OH GOOD.
BUT then I feel like ...OH NO!! Ugh, I know I need to eat, but I just don't feel like it? Does anyone else every feel like this? what do you do? I know we need to eat, becasue if you don't your body goes into starvation mode and holds on to what it's got! I don't want that!

I ate:
An chompies everything bagel with fat free cream cheese
a yogurt, light
half a pear, and water of course!
that's it!
I am planning on eating dinner, probably some pasta(UH OH) or pizza, omg, but I am only having minimal. I am just feeling BLAH:drooling:
