SoSel's Diary

You just keep on, keeping on. Curves too!! I love it. Keep it up! :)

I know it's not an easy thing for you and it does help me keep feeling that these changes are doable!!
 
back =)

Ok, ok.... I've been slacking, but I kept everyone in the back of my mind and in my prayers. Things have been changing for me, and I am devoted to behavin' this week. Yesterday I was so bad off the charts, it's embaressing. However, I will be accountable.

Food Log for 2-25

BF- none, unless you count coffee, milk, and Splenda
L- Zaxby's grilled chicken salad, blue cheese dressing, toast, unsweet tea, lemons, Splenda
S- Oreo McFlurry and later on I had a sugar-free peanut butter cup, 3 cookies, and some veggie chips
D- We went to Mi Ranchos. I had 3 glasses of Southern sweet tea (in a Mexican resturaunt... haha!), tortillas, salsa, pollo con queso (chicken in cheese), rice

Yesterday the hubby and I were celebrating. For mysterious reasons, we both re-dedicated our lives to the Lord yesterday, but we weren't in the same sermon! We didn't know who did what until afterwards. It was awesome!

Now I want to get serious about losing the extra weight I'm carrying. We're going to the beach before too long. Middle of next month. Not exactly bathing suit season, but that's no reason to stop! :D
 
Glad to hear all is still well with you - you are missed - I liked you - hope to see oyu around more regulalry - so is all going good with hubby ???
 
It's great to have you back SoSel. It sounds as though your husband and you are feeling closer and happier which is great.

Good to know you're still going to do this weight loss with us too. :)
 
Things are better with my man. It's a pleasent mystery that I don't want to worry about. I just want to enjoy the changes for now. :)

Food for 1-26

BF- slim fast optima muffin bar & banana
L- lean cuisine orange chicken, rice, & broccoli meal and mini-box raisins
S- 2 pc sugar-free candy, weight watchers yogurt, & 1 serving organic cheetos (yummy!)
D- lean turkey sausage, onion, & bell pepper sauteed in skillet with a little cooking spray, and the desert I make with oatmeal, sugar-free pie filling, and Splenda
W- I drank all 8 glasses and then some! :) I keep a container in my fridge that helps me see my progress and keep my water cold. It really helps.
Ex- None. I was busy doing housework, washing clothes, practicing the guitar, being a mother of 2 little ones, and battling a headache. I'm going to beat that today by walking after breakfast. That way, after dinner when I feel drained, I won't feel guilty about not exercising.

I want to quote what Cerella quoted. SoSel, you go straight to the answers! Good on you!!

I love the guitar story too. That is so true. When we're busy enough and involved enough our tummy's know they have to but out!! :D

hey it's International Polar Bear Day - have you hugged a polar bear today? probably not the wisest thing to do -they are cute but thoroughly mean creatures :)
 
Ok, so I'm not even gonna list 2 days worth of foods that are digested and gone. I get busy with the hubby home and forget to post. =) So much to do around-and-outside-the-house. First time homebuyers. ::wiggles eyebrows:: Ups and downs and all that happy madness.

Today, so I far, I have consumed
BF- coffee, splenda, slim-fast optima shake
L- tortilla chips and spinach con queso dip, slim-a-bear ice cream sandwich
EX- Curves

Looks horrible, I know. ::shrugs:: I'm only me and I do try. I used to be really bad about eating fast food and telling my hubby he had to take me out to eat b/c I wasn't cookin'. That sorta thing. So I feel that I've changed a lot!

In other news, the tally is in. From the time I joined Curves last Feb (at 215.5 lbs) to this Feb (190.5 lbs), we're looking at 25 lbs!! I've lost over a foot in inches. And I seriously was not applying myself last year. I lost 10 lbs just recently. I really wonder what this year will bring. :D I'm hopeful!
 
You have lots of good reasons to be hopeful.

Your weight loss over last year will have made a significant difference and now you are shooting for the ideal.

You have achieved a lot just since this January and Curves has obviously been working for you.

First home buyers!! No wonder you're excited! :) :)
 
I don't know what is wrong, but for over a week I have been battling depression. At times I feel fine. Right now I feel tired, defeated, hungry, easily angered, and just sad. I see happy people and I want to cry. I see pictures of a baby and I want to cry. I have prayed, tried to keep myself busy, listened to upbeat music, reached out for some help... and I still feel like crud. This has happened before when I've lost weight. I look in the mirror and don't feel accomplished. But I feel it in my clothes and other places. I look in the mirror and think that no one could love me the way I am. I just don't get it. I so badly don't need to be depressed right now. I want to uncommunicate with everyone, be depressed and angry and cry, but I can't figure out why. ::help?::
 
I go through that as wellfor me it is my progress - it scares me to death when I keep on seeing hte scale move downwards and such - also when I stop exercising regularly I get super down - I hope figure it out *HUGS*
 
I am sorry to hear that you are feeling low, SoSel.

Though I am not in a good position to know what is happening for you, I wonder if it is a combination of fluctuations in your exercise and maybe because you had a bit of time off from controlled foods then back on again. I know many people feel pretty bad when they are coming off the foods most eat, on to a more restricted diet. Though it doesn't last it can make you feel bad for a while. Also as Cerella said, a drop in the amount of exercise can have an impact. Both those things affect various chemicals in the body.

Then again...You were pleased about your one year progress - but maybe in another way you felt frustrated that you are not where you want to be yet. I often feel a bit down when the reality of where I still am right now, sneaks in past my pleasure at having made some progress. It will take a long time yet I know, and it's not always easy to feel patient about that.

If I didn't know why I was depressed and it lasted a couple of weeks I would see a doctor.

I hope you're feeling good again soon. :)
 
It's crazy. I feel so much better now. There were so many factors involved in my depression that I didn't mention. I have part of it worked out now and the rest is easing. I have been eating less since I feel better and that boosts me too. I feel back in control. My weight went up to 195 and I missed my goal for the end of the month. This morning it was at 192, and I know I'm going to be under 190 in no time. I also started back at Curves. Some of that weight could be muscle. It's just soooo hard to say.

I'm going to work on getting back into accountability.

Food for Yesterday
BF- 2 slim fast optima snack bars
L- Lean Cuisine spinach/mushroom pizza
D- 2 hamburger patties, 2 hamb buns, 1 hot dog bun, 1 bratwurst, 2 slices swiss cheese, handful of cheetos, and a Coke (yes- with sugar and caffiene!)

So I went off the charts at dinner time, but I was with friends and I ate. I was happy again. We ended up playing guitars and it was just fun. ::shrugs:: I still am horrible, but it was fun. lol!
 
What she said. ^

Hey, I'm really glad to hear that you're feeling better again. I know you have it in you to do something great for yourself. :)
