Ready for Change

No seriously... if it weren't for you and a few others... I probably would have given this up awhile ago. You push me to do my best. So many thanks.
 
I did good today! Yay!!

I ate very well for me today.

I walked 30 minutes with my mom this morning when I woke up.

Then this evening I did a 30 minute walk/jog. I only jogged for a total of 5 minutes, but hey, its a start.

An hour of exercise is big for me, so I'm pretty proud of myself.

I'm in a good mood and a good mindset. Go me! I can do this thing!
 
Go you, you can do this thing!

I think splitting up your walks is probably a good thing. It keeps your body moving throughout the day and not thinking like it's done, so it's rest time. Good going on the running. 5 min is nothing to sneeze at.
 
Another good day.

I'm a bit low calorie wise today, but I feel full, so that is a plus.

I worked 10 hours with my little kiddos today.

I walked for 30 minutes with my mom and sister. Good to get the family in on the movement sometimes. Although, oddly, I prefer to do my exercising alone.

I forgot to weigh myself today, so I will try and do so tomorrow morning.

I'm feeling good about things, even if i'm not losing, I'm starting to feel more fit and just better in general.
 
I've done a whole lot of nothing today.

I did hear from a school district today... only to send in more information, but any contact is good contact.

I haven't worked out yet... I'll probably just go for a walk... if i can find the motivation.

Tomorrow is the fair and yes, I will splurge on fair food and I am going to be ok with that. Its only one day.

I have had a bad headache for the majority of the day... sucks!
 
Ugh! Fair food! I have yet to find something acceptable at a fair. Eat before you go, is what I say.

We have a festival here this weekend. I'm helping out with it, so I'll probably be there a lot. I'm hoping that the food will be good because I'm not, repeat NOT, going to give up all the ground that I made for a stinkin' dog or some other crap.

Damn! Now I'm feeling bad that I skipped working out. Fair food! Should be called unfair food. :rant:
 
Psh... I'm eating my unhealthy fair food. At this point i don't care if it makes me gain 3 pounds. This is a lifestyle right? Well my lifestyle includes and annual trip to the fair and fatty greasy cheesy unhealthy DELICIOUS fair food... so bring it on!
 
I'm baffled... like my mind is literally not comprehending this.

My scale read 210.8 today... in the middle of the day...

I'm sure my scale is just on crack... cuz i don't lose weight. I just float around the same number for a month. If I could actually get below 210 this month I think I would cry. That would be a HUGE step for me.

Like I said... I'm sure its a fluke. We'll see come Tuesday.
 
Those middle of the day, or late in the day weigh ins can be misleading. Hope it's for real, but we'll see tomorrow.
 
yeah, i was back up to 212.8 yesterday, so it was just a stupid middle of the day reading.

Too bad it wasn't real. That was such a pretty number.
 
Alright... It has been quite awhile since I have been around. Starting my new adult life far away from everything i was familiar and comfortable with turned out to be a bigger challenge for me than I ever dreamed. But I am finally settling into things and its time to throw myself back into becoming a healthier, happier me.

Due to stress, I have actually dropped to 196 pounds. Not bad for me, and the lowest I have seen in a very long time. However, my eating habits have returned to their former, unhealthy glory and I need to fix that now before the weight starts going back up.

I have an appointment at the gym close to the school I work at on Monday evening, so I am actually really excited about it. I can't wait to start working out again.

I miss walking outside like I was this summer, but even though its warm enough down here to walk outside, its not the safest idea for a young woman in a large city. So, I can't wait to be in a gym and get to work out.

I miss the healthier me... time to get that back. Lets see if I can stick with this.

My first goal is to see 190. A six or seven pound loss is not that scary sounding. I would like to see this result by Valentine's Day. That gives me PLENTY of time. HERE GOES!

I'm sure no one will read this anymore... but the more support I can rally the better!
 
Jess, darling! Glad to see you back. Of course I'll read your entries. :grouphug:

2008 finished off with a healthier you and 2009 is going to be even better. :cheers2:
 
I did a short 25 minute workout tonight. I did my Hip Hop Abs Cardio video. Its nothing major, but its a hell of a lot better than sitting around which seems to have become my routine in recent weeks.

Here's to moving on to a better me!

Good for you!! I have those videos too,...the hips, buns, & thighs one really gets me sweating toward the end..>!!! And it is better than sitting on the couch!....LOL!!!
 
Thanks! And yeah, that one gets me at the end and so does the Total Body Burn one because it is so much longer than the others. Better than doing nothing though!
