Did this work?? I've tried posting twice and I think I'm diary challenged for sure!!! I really have a lot to say, but for some reason, my posts are just not making it, I"m going to try this last time and if it doesn't work out, I'm going to by a paper diary and just log in there. HAHAHAHHA Wish me luck!! OH and I LOVE THIS WEBSITE!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
I'm so excited it worked. YES!!!!! Well, I'm a full time working mom age 38 with Twin 17 year old boys. My hubby is this totally fit awesome, not an ounce of fat on him kind of guy. Next to him I feel like an Orca. I'm not kidding, he has these rock hard abs, I'm jealous, and he can eat like a hog (junk) and never gain a pound. Me, I look at food, and WELLA!! I will say he's a total sweet heart and has NEVER made a bad comment about the way I look, it's always positive. How did I find this guy. LOL LOL~~ Well, let's just start my boring story out by saying I was always that slim kid in school. Yep, I ran about 128 lbs all through highschool. I'm 5.6 is your wondering. I looked great!! But..... I never showed it off. I was that cheerleader/basketball player, but when I wasn't in uniform, I always covered up. NOW, I could just kick myself in the butt, ever since I had my twins, and granted they are 17 now I have carried weight UP and DOWN, I'm pretty much at my highest at 193 and can't seem to get rid of it. My hubby signed us up for the gym last Feb 2006, I've been going ever since at least 3-4 days a week. I bust butt at that place, I do cardio and I work it hard. I usually run at least 4 miles and then bike another 8 miles. I do weights every other visit. You would think after a year I would have lost a pound right?? NOPE, my body is fighting against me, it won't budge. So, I did the obvious and cut my calories way back. I've been consuming around 1500 a day, not much from before, I was probably consuming 1800-2000. Come on it's so insane. I lost 2 pounds last week. YEAH!! BUT.... who can see 2 pounds, and my clothes don't fit any different. I'm ready to scream!! what am I doing wrong?? I'm a good eater, I love veggies, and I LOVE fruit. I hate Red meat, and love Chicken. I'm a carb person, love the bread and pasta too, but have cut that out since two weeks back. I need some motivation and fast, I'm raedy to break. Enough of my blubbering for the day, Thursday is a new day. It's Back to Group Centergy class, it's part tia-chi, pilates and yoga. LOVE IT!! Thanks to this wonderful WEBSITE!! XOXOOXOX
Welcome to Weight Loss Forum. I have not been at this long, but already feel like a part of the family, so I think you will, too, in no time. Your story sounds a lot like mine. I was also thin and athletic in high school. I ws a cheerleader, played basketball, and ran track and cross country. I could always eat whatever I wanted, too. THEN-along came marriage and kids and LOTS of weight I think you will find this place very encouraging and many people have lots of great advice. I have learned so much. Anyways, welcome to you and I will be keeping and eye out for updates from you! Good luck and Happy weight loss to you.
I got down to about 138 10 years ago, and just moved back up again. I'm so sick of this and I'm ready to look good again and for the last time!! I also ran track in highschool, I loved anything having to do with moving and sweating. I could eat a gallon of ice cream a week and a large pizza to myself. Not anymore, I eat maybe one piece of pizza and no ice cream. Have you ever tried wheat pasta?? Is it any good?? Again, Thank you so much for the feedback, I'm now excited about taking this new journey!!
I got up this morning, made my wonderful coffee and took my shower as I always do. But..... I did have a small bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats, with 1% milk. It's starting to wear off right about now. So, should I choose that pretty green apple? Or that orange which we all know, you never know until you actually take a piece if it's going to have taste, or taste like rank poison. LOL LOL I think I'll try the apple, mmmm I love green apples. For lunch, my wonderful hubby stopped by Sam's lastnight and picked me up this case of Healthy Choice soups, I've never had them before but the labels look delicious, which means they probably have NO TASTE what so ever OH, by the way, the venture into my closet this morning, left me less than thrilled. How long can I keep this past 10 years worth of bad fashion?? I know I really need to head to the mall for some new clothes, but the thought of actually trying things on and looking any good at all, scares the hell out of me. I HATE MALL MIRRORS, and I really hate the sizes I have to grab off the rack to try on. It's torcher I tell ya, really bad nightmare torcher. So, I will hold off another 6 months on that, and keep wearing the same old jeans I've had for the past 3 years. Oh Lord please help me to lose this weight by September, I want to wear nice clothes again, and something that doesn't look like a muffin fresh out of the oven. Well, I'm off for now, I'll report back with my findings on how good or bad this healthy choice soup is.
Okay, I ate very well today. I feel full and I'm off to the gym for a bike ride and Centergy Class. Here is a list of the itmes I ate this morning and afternoon.
Thanks Tif for the info on the Challenge forum, I'll check it out later today if I get the chance. The soup was not bad, it wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. If it says LOW SODIUM, that means it's somewhat bland, But I didn't put any salt in it, pepper is my seasoning of choice
LOL!
OH my gosh, I'm so proud of myself, my boss just invited me to lunch at a good Chinese place and I declined. I can't believe I actually said No thank you! I love chinese, not as much as I love Mexican food, but I do love it. I'm so very proud of myself. I'm going to do it, Just wait and see, it's going to happen for me this time. I've worked so hard, and I'm not giving in to any temptations this time. Sure, I might have a piece of cake for Easter, but it will be tiny, I'm not going to deprive myself of anything. Just portion control, well it's off now to eat my Healthy Choice soup. mmmmm, I'm starving!!!!
I'll get back on later and write about if i get the chance. Hope everyone had a great Easter Weekend
I'm so tired and working on pure adrenolin. *sp* I finally got to eat today around 12, I had a can of that healthy choice chicken veggie soup and it hit the spot. I'm trying to drink down my first glass of water, but it's hard when it's cold in here. I will have my apple in about an hour, and hopefully that will hold me off until 3 when I have a small packet of oatmeal. mmmmm, that sounds rather tasty right now. Well, tonight I'm headed to the gym, even though I'm exhausted, I need the work out, I need to run a few miles or something, I missed my Saturday workout and the gym of course was closed Sunday, so I'm really needing to get in there. Well, I better get busy, I have a lot to do before 5. So far it's a good food day!!!
Everyone have a great evening!
I felt great!! Gave me more of an insentive to not eat bad when I got home, and I didn't below is a list of items I ate yesterday. I will be leaving work early today as I have to meet my son for Senior pictures. I'm so the last minute QUEEN, yep I wear that crown so well. But at least they are getting done and at least we will have them back in a few days. Graduation is next month and I'm just so excited. I'm proud of my kids that's for sure, and I'm tearing up right now thinking about it. I struggled as a single mom raising two boys on almost nothing, I'm just so happy they made it, I was really worried there for awhile, they were very angry years ago at me, for not staying with their dad, it was so hard and so many nights of crying, and now we are so very close again, and they understand why it all happend and they love me more now for it. I'm getting off the path here right?? what's new. Well, I better get going, I have a lot to get done before 3. Have a wonderful day!!
