Ok.. well I just put my daughter to bed... and this is usually the time I'm just sitting around.. all bored... laying on the couch watching tv...which leads to me eating snacks all night!!!!

So right now I'm starting to feel the boredom hunger..and i REALLY don't want to eat right now!!! I try not to eat past 8pm! So instead of eating because I'm bored..and potato chips go good with television... I'm going to write in my "diary" lol.. read other ppls stories...and drink LOTS of water!!!

and i must say... i am very proud of myself right now!!... it is very hard for me to resist the temptation of FOOD!!! ha ha YAY me!!!:D :p
 
Well i feel like crap now!!!! i CHEATED already!!!!!!!! i cant believe myself..im SO disappointed. I thought i could do it, and i was so proud of myself and now look what happened....

well.. a lil while ago..i slipped and ate crackers..which led to some of my daughters easter candy(gummie bears..3 lil chocolate bars, and a Reese's cup:eek: )..o and a glass of ginger ale :(

but the good thing is that i came on here..and was reading some posts, and i came across one about cheating..and how u should keep going...instead of falling off the wagon...which btw is what i always do when i slip..because then i think i just ruined my whole diet!

But not this time..im just going to forget about it...and give myself one lil cheat each week..because otherwise..i will binge eat..and then my whole diet will just be out the window!! I'm just going to get right back up...and do better tomorrow..im going to take this one day at a time..so that i succeed, i mean this is a whole new lifestyle I'm trying to learn... so all i can do is take it one day at a time!!! this isn't going to be easy at all... but i want it bad enough it WILL happen... i just have to keep reminding myself that its all worth it!!!!
 
Hey Lexis,

Just wanted to say hi, welcome to the forum (lovely pictures of you and your daughter), and PLEASE don't beat yourself up about one cheat. I'm pretty new to this myself, but the one thing I'm rapidly finding out is that this change is going to have to be a way of life. I'm having a lot of fun researching and trying new healthy breakfast recipes, finding out what carbs are good for me, when to eat before working out, y'know, stuff like that. It's nice because it doesn't feel like I'm punishing myself or eating straw in order to lose weight. You can still eat tasty foods and stick to a healthy way of life. There's loads of posts about such foods so maybe you should check them out.

In the meantime, plan your meals and snacks for today, as well as your workout - I'm sure that with time it'll start to flow naturally and there'll be less splurges. So forget about your cheat, and plan how to reduce the chances of it happening again. Good luck with it all and let us know how you get on. :)
 
Ty for your encouragement RhoRho!!!

As for today i feel better, but i do have this huge headache!! but I'm not going to let it stop me from exercising n all that junk....I still cant do my Power 90 until my daughter goes down for her nap, so i think I'm going to get a notebook...and plan out my meals and snacks for the week..just until i get used to all of this again!:eek:
 
Well i guess i have to go do my Power 90.. which I'm still a lil sore from yesterdays, because i had to start out with the cardio instead of the sculpt :eek: My daughter lost the remote to the DVD player, and i cant select down to get to the sculpt one..lol... so for now i guess I'm stuck doing the cardio everyday (which is pretty rough btw :cool: )...until i find the remote or buy a new one that is!:D

Alrighty..I'm off.. to go shed some pounds :p

I'll be back on in no time.. checking out everyones posts!.. i just love this site.. im so grateful that i found it!!!

That's a great idea -- for the longest time I would have a white board on my fridge that I'd write my weekly menus on - made grocery shopping easier and elimininated a lot of oh what to have for dinner when i got in from work - plus I knew exactly how many play calories I cold have during the day when I wanted to snack.. it really helped me out a lot...
 
Ty for ur incite maleficent!!! yeah i think it will make things a lot easier, and there will be less slip ups, because i wont b lurking around the kitchen thinking of what to make for lunch..etc..lol:p ..o and btw i LOVED ur story it was GREAT!!! you should b very proud of youself!!

In other news :p ... i feel great!! i just finished my Power 90.. and then immediately went and did my dishes a picked up the house! I forgot how great i feel when I'm eating right and exercising!!!! I just have so much energy.. I'm up cleaning and playing with my daughter more....instead of laying on the couch all day watching tv!!!

Sometimes it's hard getting the calories up - just as difficult as getting them down :) that happy medium is a tough balance...

you didn't have breakfast so that's part of today's low number... that'll change tomorrow...
