nataliejo's diary: Moving, flowing, grooving forward... change is coming...

Ok Everyone!!
I have excellent news! I am now officially in the 270s .. I weigh today 277.6!! Can I hear a WHOOT WHOOT!! WHOOT WHOOT!! I feel so good!!

I never dreamed I would feel this good, never! and now I do! and I have a man who thinks I am beautiful the way I am!! He hoorayed me when a I gained a couple pounds ... but I am still losing ... I am now 277.6!! And I am so looking forward to this journey to continue ..and it will never end... I will always eat right .. I may have set back, but I will always get back on the wagon and do what I need to do to make myself the healthiest Person I know...

my pcp .. I met with her yesterday and said I am so much healthier than I was last year ... I feel so good when she said that!! I am so thrilled in meeting expectations that I put out for myself and I have more and I know I will reach them ... 275 I wanted by May ..but I have a feeling ..by April I will be a little lower than 275 .. probably 274 ... I am so looking forward to this next year ..by 2009 I want to be 260 ..what I was four years ago!!

WHOOT WHOOT!! lol

Hey Cinderelly!
Glad to see you happier! lol I know, I just bounce around during the day, and Today I actually got my tookus outside and walked for 35 minutes. I haven't walked for eleven days, yes I slip! yikes. But I weigh less because of my diet. I have a food journal and I am reading this book called "Conquer Your Food Addiction"

and it made me lose nine pounds before on the VDAY Challenge, because my eating is behavioral. I have only healthy stuff in the house, thats it. Thats all that is in the house. Its just that I eat too much of the good stuff, so I may gain sometimes. I don't go in with my mother anymore and get free Godiva, so chocolate is out of the questions or out of my life for now, until an Easter bunny my mom got me..which she is hiding!! lmao ..its takes a lot for me not to eat whole house and kitchen ...but I do my best...

I did get up last night and eat two aspartame yogurts .. I can't take splenda ..but they are using equal ... good stuff .. I can take that in ...so I weighed in less, because instead of eating something filling.. I ate yogurts ..still bad to eat them at night ..trying to still cut that out ..but the diet is changed because I just don't eat as much. ..

I eat most anything I want .. I just eat in moderation ... you can eat most anything you want ...as long as you stick with a certain moderation ..

I put a timer up to time my meals ... and use utensils ... I make them twenty minute meals ..so I will feel full faster ...or satiated and than I will know not to eat the rest or yes to eat the rest ..

thats one of my things now ... I have a timer ..and according to the book .. I have to make my meal last twenty minutes lol at least ..if more thats great lmao ... one night it was twenty five minutes ..sometimes I wolf it down ... but for the most part I stick to the behavioral therapy in the book ..its all good ...

I hope this helped a little hun!

Hmm...I should try that twenty-minute meal thing. It sounds like it might be really helpful.

Sophie ..it is a good idea.. really works too ..its hard at first ...but I just put my utensils down ..take a few sips of water or tea ..maybe a zero cola once in a while ...and than I pick up my fork ..knife and continue ..but I do things inbetween eating ..so I keep myself tasting the meal ... taste it thoroughly ..the longer you make it ..possibly the more you will enjoy it ..

best wishes hun
keep trecking

Hey, yay on the walking! I tell you, you are far more committed than I could be. It's raining outside today, and I refuse to even *drive* to the post office. And it's 65 degrees!
 
:waving: Great job on the walking! How is it that we are having warmer weather in Western Canada than you??? It is gorgeous here, with flowers blooming & birds singing & sun shining & ... you get the picture :biggrinjester:

Keep up with the walking and losing!!!

Cheers
Janice
 
Hey chica! Glad to hear you were out enjoying the elements again!! I'm also glad to hear the new man likes you as you are. :) Even though I'm trying to lose weight now, it's still nice to hear the boy tell me that he doesn't want me to lose weight and he likes me the way I am. Hearing that is always helpful to the self-esteem which will in turn assist a healthy weight loss pattern. :)

Keep on walkin!! Spring is around the corner!
 
It's awesome that the weather is changing so that you can get back to doing what you gotta do. :hurray: The weather seems so nice over there in your post.
I know that I gotta get to walking soon, before next month rolls around and it gets so hot over here in Arizona that I will never want to leave my ac'd house!! Well, have a great day, and hopefully tomorrow is just as nice for you.

Thanks for stopping by my journal!

Really? Veronica .. how hot does it get in Arizona? it must be blazing hot most of the time lol ... yikes .. inside doing dvds is exactly what you want to do ..and you are so lucky ..an ac lmao ..we have two but dont use them ..so I am usually inside dieing from the heat ..lol ..BUT I am going to go out and bike ride on ninety degree or more days ..lol I have buying bike tshirts .made of a certain material ..that takes all your sweat and moves it to the back of the shirt and as you bike ride it uses your sweat as a coolant ..so it is like being in ac weather lol I know ..cool shirts huh .. I am buying them from a sporting good store .. I actually fit in an XL or possibly .. and L mens shirt! lmao and its harder to fit into the bike shirts, because they are stretchy .. I have a two X shirt that I am going to throw out ..it was way toooo big last year ..so it will definitely be way too big this year . .. I have an XL upstairs that I will be wearing ... its probably fits perfectly now ..all good!

Thanks for the encouragement.

Well, during the summer it gets to be 110+. So, without the ac, I'd be cooking during the summer. Right now it is pretty nice, the weather on the internet says its about 68. By the end of this week we should be hitting the 80's.

Riding a bike sounds good, gosh I haven't been on one for 3 years, ever since I spun out in the middle of the street and scraped up my knee and cut right above my ankel with the chainring (unsure of what it's called... u know... the circular thingy with the spikes) Those shirts sound pretty cool. I think I might look into those, I think that my sports bra is made of that material.
