Little Scribblings of My Journey

So I decided it was time to start a "dairy" of sorts.. just pondered thoughts, stuggles, success and my not to simple road as I travel it...


My friends call me Deezy, I just turned 36 last Friday. I have been playing the diet exercise yo yo game for..well, it seems my whole life. Well, at least the past 6 years give or take. Pretty much, im tired of it. Ready for change and here to give it my best shot. Forget the fad low-carb no-carb crap. Im ready for life changes.

At my highest I was 204 that was when I was 9 months pregnant with my daughter. After I had to her I got back down to 170ish. Mind you, im 5'3.. not soo cute. I have struggled like the rest as I can relate so well with most of you on this forum, with my self image.. self acceptance blah blah.. Im really tired of being the self indulging sabotager of all things! You name it, and im sure ive been there..done that.

So my sob story, well I don't have one. Just ready to do this for myself and really for my family. I hate going places scared that someone will see me and note the obvious... she gained weight! I never told my husband this, but back when I had my daughter I wanted us to move for the simple fact that I didnt in anyway want to run into anyone from my past.. yessss that girl size 4-5 well, was not that size anymore. Really I hadnt been. I was wearing a 11/12 and was just humilitated inside. So here I am, convinced my husband to move and im in another state now.. of course there were other reasons to move but that was a thought that frequented my mind.

Im known for losing weight because im going here or there.. drop 15-18 and put it back on.. what a nightmare!!! Here to think im stressing myself out because ill be flying back home in a few weeks to a girlfriends baby shower. Blahhh... but I wont hide anymore.. I will show myself and everyone else that God will give me the strength. He will, I will call on Him to supply my every need.

I got on the scale it read 193! Did I just say that... as I look carefully over my shoulder.. I whisper.. yes 193. Horrifying! My goal is to loose about 45-50 pounds. I have a method.. no pills no fads just simple count my calories exercise and stay commited.

I have already found huge encouragement within this site. Im ready to go at it full force.

So here I am...

I hope to scribble frequently..highs and lows.. sickness and in health oh wow I feel im at the altar again..

This time, I will ask God to take my hand...

Today was a good day!!! I stayed within my meal plan and felt pretty satisfied the entire day. I was a bit hungry whn I got home so I had some vegetable soup to hold me off until dinner. I went to the gym did my c25k... exhausting.. I walk at a 4.0 and run at 6.0.. hopefully the scale will be in my favor in a few days.. no more 193 please!!!!!!!!!!!!! journaling my food helps.. keeps me accountable.

Good night for now, tomorrow is a new day.

Thank you Jesus!
 
Im a freak! I brought my majic bullet to work!!! I love this thing. I found it on craigslist for $30!! Totally stoked. So I just made a smoothie on my break. 1/2 bananna, fresh sqweezed 1/2 orange, frozen strawberries, and non fat organic greek yogurt with some crushed ice!!! DELISH! The bullet rox!
 
I stayed on track food wise again today... feeling pretty good in that department, but im wiped out! I didnt get enough sleep and now im talking myself in and out of the gym.. I get up at 4am but tomorrow is actually my Friday soooo.. I can do this!!! I don't want to miss and set a trend for the rest of the week. I know myself and that is what will happen if i dont push thru the finish today. Blahhhhhhhhhhhhh... soo I guess I will go wash my face and get to the gym. Doing day 2 of the c25k.. oh gosh im tired thinking about it. I also have weights today. WHATS THE BIG DEAL?? I want results, right? Wont happen on the couch. Dinner has already been made, eaten.. the kitchen is cleaned. NOTHING can hold me back.. here goes..
 
So im happy to scribble that I did it!!! I made myself go to the gym and do my complete intended workout!!!! Thank God!!! I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me!!! Im so glad I did.. I wasn't feeling it 10 min into my c25k but low and behold I got the rush of adreneline and boom I was done before I knew it! I finished off strong with my weights..

Tomorrow is a new day. I have my lunch and snacks all packed im ready for the challenge! I even walked today at lunch.. just a few times around the building, but better than sitting around for 1 hour.
 
Ok im skeptical.. I got on the scale this morning and it read 191.. Im thinking of putting the scale away. Although, I hope it's true I am really hoping is not some water loss.. blahhhhhhhhhhhh. I get so fixated on the #'s. I wait for the day that I am just comfortable in my own skin.
 
Yesterday was good.. I was really running low on energy. I took today off work and slept in so hopefully I will get rejuvenated! I made it to the gym last night. I took my muscle class which I love to death! I was going to try and do my cardio before but I fell asleep at home so I did some after. I planned on doing my day 3 of the c25k but instead I just finished up 2 miles on the treadmill at my own pace.. ya not great but 2 miles non the less. I felt pretty good afterwards and today the scale reads 190.3. I was reading another post and I think I really need to ditch the scale.. at least for a few days. Since im journaling I will know where adjustments need to be made if progress isn't made. So I will try and not touch the scale until Monday. Monday starts the mega callenge. Yikesss!!! Im ready though.. bring it!!! I have promised myself that I will do my measurments today when my husband gets home. Blahhh.. another scary thing. Gots to be done though!!!!

So my friend flaked on me last night to go to the gym. Its really irritating. I dont know why I even ask her to go because she has done it in the past and then I just get bent out of shape over it. It would be nice to at least have someone push me with my cardio and take a few spin classes with but one thing i am not, is a flake. It just really rubs me the wrong way. Uggg!

More later.. I actally just woke up. I went back to bed after my daughter left for school. So all I have had so far is oatmeal. Im about to make some coffee and start my day. I got some nonfat creamer last night heheh.. Im stoked
 
The Christ light reveals what is true, and I embrace it.

Without much thought, I might attach a negative label to a situation or person. Such an attitude caused me to come to that negative conclusion before I actually knew the person or had all the facts about a situation.

On second look--when I'm looking for the good--I find good. The situation I was a bit leery of becomes an opportunity for me to learn something of value. Taking the initiative to talk with the person I thought was aloof, I find that she responds with genuine interest.

The transformation is not with the situation or person. It actually happens in my own thoughts and attitude. As I let the wisdom of the inner Christ be my guide, I experience a transformation. The Christ light reveals what is true, and I embrace it.

"He will transform the body of our humiliation that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, by the power that also enables him to make all things subject to himself."--Philippians 3:21

Hey girl! :seeya: Read the diary and love it so far! It is really hard to not focus on the numbers. Another great alternative is take your measurements. Also, maybe you have some clothes that you want to fit into that you haven't been able to fit into in awhile? These are ways of avoiding the scale to make you so you are not so obsessive! But trust me, we have are all right there with ya.

Also, I know how you feel about needing a partner at the gym. My husband didn't go to the gym for the first 2 months that I started working out and I had a really hard time by myself. WARNING: If in fact your friend does go with you, make sure they are not bringing you down! My husband likes to play this mind game of "Let's go, you worked out hard enough for tonight." on me when we are 30 min. in and I don't let it get to me.

Keep up the good work and I want a Bullet! It sounds like a sex toy but I love it! :coolgleamA:

Ohhh yay someone stopped by!!! Thank you so much. Ya, I promised myself that I would do my measurements sometime today. I have the tape out on the table yikes!!!!! I have to do that.. that way I see results both ways. Some days when the scale is not so forgiving maybe I can get that added push from the measurement readings.

I really dont know why I ask my girl to go to the gym. She does this all the time :nopity:. And to think back, before when we would go she would be like im ready to go.. no motivation and always complained about spin class hurtin her arse! lol.. its all good though. I have tried to get my husband to join. Sometimes hes about it and sometimes not. He said ok i will join if you dont nag me to go.. ummm excuse me.. dont waste your time on the membership then. :banghead:

Today im taking my daugther to the park :driving:and hittin the gym solo! I have legs and my c25k to complete.

ohhh and the Bullet!! Amazing! This thing is so dope! Its super easy to wash and I just take it with me to work. This morning I made my daughter a blueberry smoothie. I found it on craigslist for 30 bucks!! Total steal. They lady only used it 2x.

Anyhoot, im off to chk your diary out!!! Tootles!!! Thank you again for commenting.

Do the measurements for sure! It really does help, trust me.... It's calling your name....

Yeah, I hate people like that... definately a waste of time and this is ALL ABOUT YOU.. and if they don't care about themselves enough to keep their body healthy, then screw them! Your husband is funny! Typical guy...

Good for you! Chasing kids around, I have no doubt will burn tons of calories!

I'm totally going to look for one... a smoothie sounds so good right now! :drool5: Thanks again for the nice compliment and I'll be watching you guys kick butt in the challenge!
 
:smilielol5: I've been so busy reading all these other posts and diggin everyone elses diary, I neglected mine. Im feelin great today. I finally did my measurements and that was a drag.. totally depressing to see those #'s. I guess the only way to go from here is down down down with those numbers. I didnt make it to the gym on Thursday. Total bad planning on my part. I did however, stay on my meal plan. I had the day off and didn't do a stinkin thing! I did take my daughter to the park to get her out of the house and have some fresh air before it becomes the pit of hell her in AZ. I wanted to go to the gym in the eveing and had total intention to do so but my husband went MIA for a minute. I thought he was in the geeerage and I had just cleaned up from dinner and got my daughter all bathed and ready for bed. Sooooooo I go to let him know I was leaving and the.. ummmm ya the butthead wasnt there!!!!! He took his uncle home without saying anything. I was fuming and had steam coming out of my ears!!! Anyways, now that I think about it maybe I was being selfish.. I had time to go during the day and didn't. Maybe thats part of my self sabotaging that I do?? The night ended up ok and I was fine about not going since I stayed on my food plan. Friday was fabulous! Had a great day at work and went to the mall to pick up a cover for my phone. I was totally talking to myself the whole time. I did start to get hungry and had an apple in the car but I was like Subway won't hurt.. just dont get cheese or mayo and you will be straight.. then I popped up and said NOOOOO!!! I promised myself no fast food, and to me, that also means Subway for the time being. So I went to get what I went for and booked out of the food court and bee lined it to my car!!! Drank my cold water and gobbled up my apple.. and guess what?? It did me good.. that was all I needed to hold me over until dinner. Had I gotten Subway I would have been hungry again later in the evening. Needless to say, I was proud of myself.. I have to say, this forum is doing wonders. Its great for accountability.. totally gaining knowledge and keeping motivated by many. I busted out at the gym.. ohh and finally my friend decided to meet me and take this muscle mix class.. its off the hook! Soo anyways after I was like are you going to do cardio.. go figure she is like no im going home blah blah blah.. I knew it. Its all good because I stayed and finished my cardio.

Today im dropping my car off to get an oil change and running home :) woot woot.. its about 2 miles.. I hope no one sees me hahaha.. what a shame!! ohh and last night when I was on the treadmill this guy gets on the next one to me.. why?? there are plenty open. I always like to hide at the gym esp during cardio. I dont need people next to my huge arse.. anyways hes totally fit and running like soooooooooooooooo flippin fast I was almost scared he was going to fall off! hahah.. anyways I challenged myself and ran for the same amount of time when he was doing his intervals hehe.. noooo I didnt go as fast but it was a lil internal challenge.

ok.. more later. Seems I had so much to say yesterday but never got around to it.. dang it!!!

Tootles good people!
 
What the heeeezy! Down 4.4 !!

Today is Monday! Im ready for the Challenge! Totally motivated. Im happy to say I DID IT! I handled the weekend and I was very nervous.. usually my idle time is the worst! I managed to tip the scale in a downward motion.. -4.4! :party:!! I went to a BBQ yesterday at my friends house and I took some salmon and everyone was eating the hebrew national hotdogs from Costco!! Love those, but gooood grief the fat content and the calories are insane! I made 2 salads and did some yellow peppers and green beans on the grill!!! Delish! I also managed to use my friends workout room at her apartments hehe.. snuck that one right in. I have been working on the c25k and yesterday I was on week 2, day 3.. totally kicked my butt but felt good when it was done.

Im a little bummed, I slept on my neck wrong and let me tell you it HURTS! I was feeling a little uncomfortable on Friday and Saturday was awful! Still yesterday I pushed it so I may need to take today off from the gym :(
I brougt a heating pad to work so I will see how that goes.
 
Back at it with my majic bullet!!!! 2/3 frozen strawberries, 1 organice greek nonfat plain yogurt, 1 banana and 2 packets of splenda with some crushed ice!!!!
 
Thought I'd come find your diary and say hello! Thanks for reading my crud and leaving a comment. :) It'll be great to support each other during this journey.

Hope to see you around!
