They say this is a good idea???

Thank's K., 1hr on the elliptical is not bad plus it burns like 800 to 1000 cals(well thats what the machine says anyways) so it's worth it. But i don't do 1 hr to often. 1400 cals is what i'm trying to get in i haven't gotten there so far. The food i eat is low cal so it's hard to get it all in. 5oz of chicken is lots i had a hard time eating the rest of my supper, like the asparagus that i love!!!
my bmr is like 1400 and cals to maintain the wt i'm at now is 1900(thats bef. exercise)so calorie deficit and stuff come into play. you need to have a deficit of 500 cals a day to loose 1lb in a week.So if you cut 250 cals from food and burn 250 cals through exercise you get the deficit you need.
It's all basic math lol,
i'm still working at it though and yes i know about the whole muscle thing. i'm looking to get to 1800 cals a day and more intense exercise(but that's like a long range plan :) )
 
SICK KID vs CLEAN FLOOR

so far the kids up by 2 and the poor floor has had to be washed twice since 6 this morning. Mom tried to intercept but the kids shot for the bucket didn't make it :(
(washing normal floors easy but try 90yrs old wood floors w/ large cracks not good :mad: can't wait for the renos to be done so i can have normal floors)
I hate when kids are sick
 
oooh honey..im so sorry..nothing worse than that..get out the pine solve! Or personally i would rather call mr clean!
i hope it doesnt last long!
 
Trust me i wanted to call in Molly Maids at one point. but his aim got better or i got quicker one or the other and today is a better day :) my B is not sick anymore(well not being sick anyways, and that's good) and hopefully nobody else get's sick i'm keeping my fingers crossed ;)
Got a compliment from my husband yesterday, something about my butt looking good(just not in those exact words, got to keep the site clean ;)) believe me, compliments around here don't happen very often i usually have better luck w/ strangers but i got one anyhow so that's good~

you are doing great!!!! keep it up... and i hope that you feel better - it is not fun to have a house of sick people.. =(
 
Thank's for the support guys :)

O.k. here's the deal i'm an emotional eater i eat for pretty much any reason. and have been fighting this for ever. It stems from the way i was raised i know, when we were kids if we got hurt the cookies would come out to stop the crying not tissues because it would make us "feel better".Do i blame mom and dad. no.They did the best they could with what they had and dealt with it the best way they could. mom was raised the same way.a cycle i'm trying to break now with my own kids. never do they get food as a reward or taken away as a punishment. i just can't do it but when we go to mom's they still do it. i noticed it this weekend she did it with my D,and i got mad.
I went to the store this weekend and saw a lady who was quite big,she was so big that she had to use a motorcart to get around the store,and i couldn't help but feel that if i hadn't changed things around when i did that could have been me. sometimes i wonder if things had been diffrent, would i still be fighting to get healthy like i am today? i can't change the past i know,but i still can't help but wonder.
I wasn't always overweight but i put on alot when i wen't through highschool. that was tough. going from a small school to the big city highschool leaving most of my friends behind.i was painfully shy back then and making new friends was hard. food was my friend back then probably why i got to the 260's,food shouldn't have been but it was, sad. Moving away from home and in with a friend was the best thing to ever happen to me, got a reality check and realized i couldn't always stuff my face when i was feeling sad,mad,worried well you know pretty much feeling anything. i fight it still today most people don't understand. but that's the way i am.and i'm working to change it... slowly but i am changing.
Sorry sick and craving comfort food this is my way of working through it.
 
You'll be ok I know you will. You are strong and beautiful :) Just keep thinking positive thoughts. Every since I started eating healthy and paying more attention to me(which I find even myself so difficult) makes me wonder how I had time to think about anyone else(the points were I neglected self...) I see around me the overweight and there are so many people that are... I told myself a long time ago that I did not want to be a statistic to anything little that I know I was becoming a statistic to the overweight population. That is a little thing that helps me out cause no one wants to become a statistic...Right? :) Keep up the good work and keep positive attitude!!!! (sorry to be rambling so long :D)
 
I hope everyone in your house is feeling much better today. Congratulations on your weight loss this week that’s terrific. That’s wonderful that you are aware of the things that can help you on your way to success.
 
Thank's guys! :)
Yesterday was rough but today i feel more like a human. well barely lol
the pounding headache is gone but the rest of my body isn't sure what it's doing yet. probably got a cold at least it's not what my B had. As for rambling on yesterday, couldn't help it i hate being sick and not having control over something(not that anyone can control having a cold but if i could i would)i'm not a total control freek but stuff that takes you by surprise i'm not big on.anyways enough about that. my goals for april include getting down to the low 150's(anything under 155 would do :D )so i hope to get there b/c i do have the safety awards party to go to and i want to look like a hot skinnier version of my self in a cute outfit :D

Im so impressed at how you have moved forward so strong not feeling well and w/ a sick kid puking on the floor..you are my hero L! How is the cal thing going for you? Are you reaching your RMR? I am amazed how i never figured that whole thing out before it seems almost ridiculously simple...all the diets ive done..you would thunk i would have been told that ...but noooo not until I stumble on the thing. Who knows it may not have made a difference before as now the diff is me..and my attitude.
Keep up the good work!
 
Thank's guys!Amanda glad your back :D

O.k. so i've been feeling kinda crappy lately and down on my self. well today i ran into a friend at the store who helped me get my spirits up(don't get me wrong you guys here are a tremendous help :D ) anyways she help remind me how far i've come. we were in the produce section and she said "look at those bags of potatoes now picture strapping 10 of those 10lbs bags to your self and walking around all day" well i was floored she's right how the heck did i ever do that. then we wen't down the next isle and there were 50lbs bags of potatoes and she tells me to pick one up (well now i'm thinking that the produce manager thinks that there are 2 crazy women in his department) but i do it and omg i could hardly believe how much weight i had carried around. it just sank in,and i'm thinking duh! why the heck are you going around being so down.so that made my day :)

On the other hand some guy checking me out in the cereal isle didn't hurt ither. He was w/ his father(i'm assuming maybe his grandpa well who cares that's not the point lol)and said "she's not hard to look at" ok this is loosely translated and sounded way better in french. anyhow it had to be me he was talking about b/c there was nobody else down there lol. so now i'm feeling quite good about my self and pretty gosh darn cute too :D
 
Yeah baby! Thats right girl..dont ever forget that you have done some amazing things..Just being a mom and a wife you deserve a metal ..but to drop all the weight you have dropped and to still be so motivated...you amaze and inspire me..and obviously cereal buyers are quite intrigued by you also...oooh la la!
Im glad you ran into your friend..sometimes we need someone to give us a good shake and say...HELLO!!!! look at yourself realistically!
Good for you...your doing awesome L!
 
I'm so glad that you were able to get a boost of confidence =) isn't it great when we have people around us supporting us that way! Keep it up girl, you are doing awesome and whatever you want to accomplish - you can do it!!!!
