MoonGoddess's Path

Hey Moon. Glad to hear the shower went alright. It's crazy how we stress over things and they end up turning out perfectly. Sorry your mom was kinda driving you crazy. I guess if it's not one thing it's your mother.... :)
I am working on my motivation to get my butt back to the gym on a consistent basis. Oh, if my trainer only knew the things I have been up to. Not too bad but, not too good either. I come on here and it does really motivate me. I read diaries and check tickers and people are losing tons of weight, it can be done. I just have to keep reminding myself that. I am going to the gym tonite to do a core routine and some running. Then, I meet with my trainer in the morning and he is going to weigh me in and measure me. Hopefully it's good news and he doesn't chew me out... We will see how it goes.

Ug. So I readjusted my ticker. Sucks when you have to move it UP. Not that I have done the greatest this week, in eating or exercising. Its just so EASY not to.

I really want to lose weight & get healthy... & I want to love exercising & have it be an actual habit, not something that I should do or push myself to do, but somehow other things just keep taking priority. Its a choice I make, so there is no one to blame but me which makes it stink even more. I have got to put this first.

It is tough to change a whole way of thinking and living. You spend so much of your life in one mode and it's a pain in the keister to do or think any diffrently. You are already on your way to a more fit and healthier you. You will find something that you enjoy doing, and then some things will hopefully get a little easier. And remember, at least your still in the 70's club. ;)
 
So this weekend was great.

I spent Friday & Saturday with a Friday & had so much fun I never really craved anything although we did order pizza & had too many sodas. I swear some people never drink any water! I don't know how they don't just dehydrate right up!

Then on Sunday I did the unthinkable & created a disaster zone in my bedroom cleaning out my closet... & I mean everything came out & was organized... which who am I kidding that won't last long! Anyway I got so distracted I completely forgot to eat dinner & I wasn't hungry. It was around 10:30 before I even thought of food & I hated to just eat for the sake of eating.

BUT I WAS STARVING this morning & had a egg & cheese biscuit on the way to work. So I guess I should have had something.

Oh well. Whole new week & while I'm not starting off on the right foot... I at least have given myself a place to improve from! :)
 
Just joined the Halloween challenge!!!

So will I whittle myself down to a sexy witch costume.... hm... I see in my crystal ball that all signs point to yes! lol.

Seriously I have taken a break from challenges but I adore Halloween so why not? Might be just the motivation I need.
 
Good luck! Post a pic of that sexy witch next October. It will be cool to see you reaching your goal. And congrats on clearing out your closet. I did something similar last week, but I now realize that I need more storage boxes to make things really stress free. But I'm less stressed due to my closet already. Destressing is a good motivator for keeping everything neat.

I love sexy witches!!! Where is this challenge, I need to go find it. How are you sista? Way to go on your weight loss! You're doing fab!!
 
ug.. dear ole aunt flow brought on a lovely lil weight gain this morning... stupid b*tch. Guess its good that there is a reason other than over eating to gain a pound & atleast it was JUST A pound not 5 or 6.

I got excited about the Halloween challenge yesterday... its in the challenges section. Seems something others have been excited about for a while, but there is still time to join in since it doesn't officially start til Sept 1!

So I was good today & eat a mini bagel & some water at home before work instead of the all too easy & happening all too frequently lately trip through the drive thru on the way to work. Now I'm just sleepy & craving something cheesy...ug. I would say its going to be one of those days... but I refuse to let it be!

ok off to get some Dr pepper in my system! I'm weak what can I say.. at least its not vodka!
 
oooh cheesey cravings... the whole grain goldfish crackers are good for those cravings... lots of little cheesey goodness in one serving :)

It's gratifying to know that when aunt flo leaves town, she'll take her extra lbs with her and give them tos omeone else...
 
I caved on the dr pepper, but have found an ounce of restraint on the cheesiness. The crackers sound yummy. I think I have one of those 100 cal packs of cheez-its around here.. might have to do that for lunch with my turkey on wheat I brought in (save cals & cash.. um okay!).
 
I love me some mean Dr.Pepper!!! Have some diet DP in the fridge. lol

Aunt Flo is a #$%* in the @$%! Hopefully she'll leave asap! Have a good one today!!
 
Howdy Moon,
Pewey on aunt Flow I think we all have 1 of those my aunt use to say you have such a pretty face if you would just lose some weight you would be a knock out BLAHHHH!
Hopefully she hits the road soon and takes the negative energy with her.
I love those mini cinn/raisin bagles w/ reduced cream cheese yummmmy!
Have a gr8 day.Tammy
 
I am going nuts about trying to track calories lately... not in the sense that I'm obsessing but that I know it helps to do it, but I just can't get around to doing it. One MAJOR issue is the internet at home is gone. I need to get my own connection, but am struggling with the idea of adding one more bill to the mix every month. We won't mention how I was online previously. But I do see how being able to quickly just log on & add in as I go worked a LOT better than trying to remember & log it in later... which isn't working at all.

Another thing is I have lived alone for years & really haven't spent so much time with others in the past few months eating. Maybe a meal here or there, but could make decision on my own as far as what to eat & when. Lately a certain favorite Marine has been spending most nights at my house & we have very different eating styles... I personally don't see veggies as a threat to my existence, he avoids them like the plague (except corn & potatoes...why those are ok & broccoli stinks I don't know). So there is another challenge. To find the happy medium of what to eat & not blow my progress so far by eating take out everynight. Although we got steak delivered last night & I got no complaints... although I would have done better to have cooked a nice piece of salmon & had a salad. argh. Just when you think you got it under control life sends you lil challenges to test your commitment!
 
Howdy Moon,
You are doing so well don't get discouraged.
Even if you don't count calories you kind of have the ideal by now
what to eat and what not and how much to eat maybe just go
with that approach for now?Hope you have ar gr8 day stay strong
Tammy :)
