(¯`•. (¯`•. Joni's February Journal .•´¯) .•´¯)

I'm glad your husband isn't too far off at work, because I know you've enjoyed having him near. I guess you're both excited about tomorrow.

Your planning sounds good.

Have you done that Walk away the pounds before? I've heard it mentioned but I don't know much about it. It sounds interesting.
 
As long as you feel good about what you are eating, you should be in good shape, Joni!
If you don't feel good about it, then make sure to work on that aspect of your food plan. There is a bit of discussion about "Intuitive Eating" that you may want to look into; it's less about focusing on numbers and more about making sure you are just eating right.

Education is important in learning how to be healthy.
 
Okay! Well, let's see.

Sunday went well.
Monday I over ate by 4 girl scout cookies.
Today is going just fine.

I still haven't convinced my lazy body to exercise. I will take the victories as they come. The day isn't over and my energy is on the rise.

My goal is 189 by Friday. It's the lowest I've weighed thus far and will be a nice place to dig in at.

Our soon to be home won't be vacant until May 1st. Then it will take two weeks for us to tear out the bathroom and redo it. Replace some windows and a door in the kitchen and some random things that need to be done around the property. So it looks like late may, early june.

I'm excited but saddened. My family is 5 minutes away now and will be 45 away when we move. At least my inlaws will be 5 minutes away. I'd be very distraught if we were moving away from everyone!
 
It is important to acknowledge what you're doing right. :)

Out of the options available to you, which kind of exercise would be the most fun?
 
The options are what I can do in my house. I don't have room for exercise equipment so I'm pretty much left with dvds.

I enjoy doing the Walk Off the Pounds. They are pretty simple and if I need to stop for a second and do something with/for my daughter I can hop right back into the routine.

I did the one mile walk yesterday. It was nice to get up and move. Finally!
So today I am going to do the 2 mile walk.

Yesterday went well foodwise and today should go well too. Same with tomorrow.

Friday is my goal day so I'm pushing!
 

Yesterday went well. I was able to eat Girl Scout cookies and still stay within my range. It felt good to demonstrate some control and still have some really yummy food!

I made homemade French Onion Soup and toasted slices of french bread. It was delicious!

I did the 30 min Walk Away the Pounds. I was surprised to find myself sweating and huffing. The 45 min walk didn't have me so worked up. It felt great to finish and feel the sweat on my forehead.

I weighed myself this morning and it was hovering between 190 and 191. Tomorrow is my goal for 189. It's definitely possible but my REAL goal this week was to get back into watching my food intake and exercising.

I work tomorrow which will be a challenge. I know we are having Charley's Steakery for dinner. The sub without cheese or ranch dressing isn't too bad. Tomorrow will probably be a semi-bad food day.




 
Yay! You are back in the game!

You might even make that goal.

I hope tomorrow goes well for you. :)
 
Hey Joni... I don't think I've dropped by your diary before. Glad to see everything is going ok :) you seem to have some strong will power and sensible ideas about your weight loss. :)

Hope you have a great weekend.
 
I don't know what happened this evening. I just had no motivation what so ever!!! I did my 30 min/2 mile walk. Then I just went nuts! We ordered Chinese. Now, I really didn't eat a whole lot but I did eat some.
*sigh*
I guess this stuff happens. Tomorrow is a new day.
 
Was it all the deep-fried badness or was it just stir-fry?
Chinese food is generally not too bad for you, even if it is the deep-fried kind, as long as you keep the portions reasonable.
 
I had about 4 or 5 pieces of deep sweet and sour chicken, minus the sweet and sour, add general tso's sauce with about a cup of fried rice. . .so yeah. .the badness. . .but I didn't stuff myself silly.


Today. . . . 189.8

Not exactly my goal, but still I was just happy to see 189 on the scale.
I didn't eat great today but I was expecting it. It was kind of my little splurge before heading into the weekend. This is the first time we don't have a weekend jammed full of things. I can actually plan meals for the weekend and fit in exercise in!

So today. . my little bit of badness. . .in exchange for a weekend of good eating to lead into a week of good eating. .

My goal for next week . . .187
 
It sounds like you achieved the main thing you wanted for the week - to get moving again. Congratulations on the weight loss too. I'm really glad it's still happening for you. :)
 
Today went well. . i hit all my calorie goals and did a 2 mile/30 minute walk. .

I worked 8 hrs at the office and another 4 at home. .but I feel like I really accomplished something today!!!!

Excellent you accomplished ALOT - 12 hrs of work exercise and your little one - you go girl!!!
 

Tuesday and today both went really well.

I haven't exercised yet. .my head has been throbbing all day. I'm going to have a little nap and try to do at least a mile tonight.

Yes, Felici. . it is the Walk Away the Pounds. At first I thought it was silly to think I was walking 2 miles in my living room! At the end of the 30 minutes, I am sweating and my heartbeat is up. I am always surprised to see how much of a workout walking in place really is.

I'm not sure how exact it is, but she says it's a 2 mile walk in 30 min.




 
I hope your head's better soon. You are doing well this week. :)

That Walk program sounds great. I find it helps a lot to be able to have some different types of exercise available. Sometimes one is a lot more appealing than another or fits in better. Also it can be a buzz to go back to something after you haven't done it for a while.
 
:D I'm tempted to try WATP; I'm moving into a ground floor apartment, so I won't be stomping on someone's ceiling with each step. I'll look for it at the library, and see if it is available.
I'm glad to see you still posting here; it seems a little like the springtime has pulled everyone out of their computer chairs; I know I am having a hard time staying in mine!
 
Well . .I am definitely depressed. I have no ambition. Feeling a bit hopeless.

I worked really hard this week and I didn't lose a thing. This weekend was miserable knowing that my hard work was in vain. I've decided this must STOP.

Tomorrow is DAY 1.

I am going to exercise.
I am going to eat within my recommended ranges.
I am going to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

No matter how much I don't feel like doing any of the many things I need to do, I am going to do them.

Frankly, when I don't do them, I feel like crap. I feel like a failure. So I need to make myself do them. I'm done with this.

I am done with working hard for a few days and blowing it with bad food. I am tired of dreaming of fitting into my old jeans and still wearing the fat ones. I hate putting them on.

Along with those other things,
I am going to post in my journal EVERYDAY before I go to bed.
I am going to support at least two other journals EVERYDAY.
I am going to wear a little makeup at least 2 days this week.

So I am making a list for myself and slapping it on the fridge. Tomorrow I am going to post my weight and make a fresh start. Also, I am NOT weighing myself for two weeks.

FYI, I am going to start a new thread. This is the last time I am going to restart it. Unless someone knows how to change the thread title?
