Its day 6 of My diet and i just found this site and I really think Its going to help.
THE PLAN:
1. No more drinking DR PEPPER! This is hard but Its day 6 and I am sticking with it. I was drinking at least 6 a day and at 150 calories a can, Im consuming 900 less calories a day.:)

2. Eating no fast food, this is ecspecially hard, with 4 kids running around, baseball and football practices, homework ect., finding time to cook is hard!
but Im sticking to it, Im cooking dinner and controlling MY PORTIONS!

3.Walking EVERYDAY! A friend of mine and I are going to walk every morning Mon- fri at a local park. The track is 1 mile , this should really help me.
I haven't exercised in years! It feels so good to get outside after my walk Friday I felt great!

Well thats the plan for now, I am starting out slow and will set new goals for myself as i continue. I will weigh in on friday so lets hope it starts working.
 
Today 1/14/08

On day 6, My son is home sick from school so there won't be the morning walk. Im hoping my husband gets off early today so that He can stay with our son and My friend and I can walk.
I feel really full and bloated this morning and I haven't had anything to eat. I had a small cup of coffee, I think Im going to have to stop drinking coffee too. Thats really going to be hard. I already cut back from the 2 large cups I was drinking.
A friend of Mine suggested that i take pictures of myself in my bra and underwear every friday, he said it will help motivate me. Im not sure how i feel about that! But we will see.

This is so much harder that I thought it would be. Giving up food,drinks and habits I love. But i gotta be strong!
Well thats it for now.
 
I ended up getting to walk today afterall, my hubby came home to watch over Jake so I was able to get out!

It felt great Im so glad I went, I could have easily used my son being home sick as an excuse but I didn't!

I also stuck to my diet today for the most part, i went shopping and bought low calorie snacks , meals and drinks. Those dunkin donuts next to the counter sure looked good but I fought off the urge!(im still thinking about them though) !

I did have a snack at about ten PM and I feel like I shouldn't have, I hate going to bed full!
Oh well tomorrow is a new day!
 
You have made a great start and are doing really well. Makes me realise I can do it too. I have similar goals to you, no fast food, more exercise and my weakness is diet coke, I know there are no calories but still don't think it is good for me, those artifical sweetners are not healthy. We are all in this together, keep fighting the good fight, I'm with you all the way.

We can do this, we will do this, we are doing this!!!!

TTFN
:waving:
 
OH! :svengo:
Today is just one of those days! 2 bad you can't call in sick from your diet!
I feel terrible!
It's that time of the month for me and the Cramps are a KILLER! My head is pounding too. I just want to snack right now but can't!

so far today...

breakfast: cup of coffee (small) and one nut and honey cereal bar (100calories)

Lunch: Weight watchers meal! 160 calories and really good!

Im also trying to drink 8 glasses of water a day! Im sooo not a water person and Its noon and i have only had one bottle!

So far despite feeling like a dookie im on track!

Way to go! sounds like you have a good plan in place for yourself. Im not much of a water drinker either (ick i hate it) but I find that no cal flavored carbonated water is a great substitute if you used to drink a lot of pop. I didn't want diet coke anymore because I got my bubbly-craving filled by that. I also took a gatorade bottle, filled it 1/10 with cranberry apple juice then the rest with water so it just has a hint of flavor but still a ton of water. It really helps me :) Keep up the great work!
 
Well for dinner I ended up eating a 6 inch sandwich which Im sure had way more calories than I had left for the day but I was super busy and was starving and had to get something fast! I am proud that I looked for a subway rather than heading through the Mcdonalds drive through!
then about 9 i ate one of those 100 calorie packs and than another one of those 100 calorie packs!
UGHHH! I am always hungry now! WHY! I found myself digging in the fridge 4 times today, I stopped myself everytime luckily!
I went way over my calorie count today and now Im kicking myself!
Oh well tomorrow is a new day!
 
Im having another rough day today! I just can't seem to get enough to eat! I know alot of it is stress and the fact that I am a stay at home mom and I just have way to much time on my hands!
The weather is ICKY today here in Dallas and You know how that just makes you feel sleepy and lazy!
On the upside My friends and I are pulling a double on our walking routine today so I look forward to that! I love the way I feel after I walk.

Breakfast: instead of food I drank apple cider! 140 calories for a big mug

Snack: I realized it was a bad idea not to eat Cereal bar 90 calories

Lunch : w.w. meal I like these but the one I just ate not so much! They forgot to add the flavor! 240 calories

1 bottle of water and one diet pepsi so far today!
 
Hey! After you posted on my journal I had to check out yours! Way to go, especially with the quitting pop thing. I'm a major addict, but I love Perrier too so that helps. However, I have to admit that I would never be brave enough to quit my coffee :svengo:. I really am impressed. It's also really cool that you were able to find a friend to walk with everyday. Well congratulations for sticking with it! It's really encouraging. Good luck! :patriot:
 
Today Is actually going great so far!
Breakfast : Bowl of cereal and lowfat milk with a bottle of water 180 calories

Lunch: healthy request meal YUM! 320 calories

snack: 100 calorie pack and a bottle of water

I walked yesterday for an entire hour! it was exhausting but I felt great afterwards as always!

Its super cold today so we won't be walking I don't think, but I plan on popping in a workout tape this afternoon sometime!

I was feeling a little discouraged at the beginning of the week but I'm feeling alot better today! I know I can do this!

 
Welcome to the site. Hey you'll have to change your name from Lazy Momma to GOGOGIrl or something like that. You're not lazy. You will definitely lose cutting out the junk and walking everyday. Just keep that up and you will FEEL better too. You're on the road to better health and you don't have too much to lose, you could feasibly lose that in four months.

Be patient, wait for fulillment.

I'm down thirty pounds, just started a new ticker Jan 1.
 
Its FRIDAY and I'm worried! The weekend is gonna be tough because it strays away from my normal Monday thru Friday routine with the rest of the family being home!

I'm gonna try really hard though! Last night I broke into the powdered donuts!! Now what in the world was I thinking?:cuss:
My friend and I along with our kids are going to the park later to walk and have a picnic and take soem pictures of the kids together. I'm looking forward to walking off the DONUTS!
I'm weighing in today and I'm hoping Its good news! I need some motivation!

Breakfast: cereal bar and 1 bottle of water 90 calories

Bottle of Diet green tea 0 calories

Lunch: Healthy request meal 320 calories

For dinner Im cooking meat loaf , mashed potatoes and squash I'm sure thats alot of calories but I'm going to eat VERY small portions of everything!

Well that's it for now!
 
Lol, Powdered Donuts huh? Would it make you feel better if I told you that I ate two big handfuls of chocolate chips? (you know the serving size for those is in TABLESPOONS?!?!) Haha. So don't let it get you down. Everyone's going to make bad choices at some point, and look how great you've been doing!
I mean seriously... 70 calories a tablespoon!!! :rofl: Those powdered donuts are starting to look a little bit like carrot sticks :p
I hope you're having a good day with it all! Stick in there!
