Ok so here I go...an online diary that thousands of people can read...ACK...can you say motivation....LOL...I am going to embark on what I feel is the hardest journey for me...putting myself first. I am putting myself first and have some goals I am workign towards...I wrote them all down and even rewrote them into priorites and then even rewrote them and put down strategies on how I was gonna accomplish them. So now it is time to do it...The top of my list is getting healthier/loosing weight...I am going to do this by...making healthier food choices and going to Curves on top of doing TaeBo and going for walks in the evenings wiht at least my baby girl...time to stop making excuses and just do it. Myself and exercising is going to be a priority and come first...The most important thing is that I am going to make sure i go to bed and get more sleep at night...set myself a bedtime and stick too it. I realize I need more sleep and appearantly it is a proven medical fact that obesity and not enough sleep are linked...I am focused on this challenge I joined online nad dont want to let anyone down...although it is a challenge drinking that much water...I equaled it out to be about 5 of my water bottles and I usually drink 4 getting that 5th one in is hard...but Im tryign, I m constantly drinking water.

So Goals for myself this week are: Curves everyday...6 days a week they are open...Taebo at least 3 times this week and a walk in the evening every night after dinner before my little munchkins bedtime....Oh and eating...I am working on making healthier choices and no more fast food...maybe a little bit if junk but better choices of junk...LOL...(I just dont wanna set myself up for failure...IE a little bit of junk...like popcorn or pretzels)

I am going to check in and write an update tonight, it is my first offical day and I am focused and gonna do it...
 
Welcome! I just started also and I must say you have some great goals! I wish I could afford a curves membership! :) Hope you do great!
 
Welcome! Nice to meet you and it sounds like you have some good goals for yourself! We are both around the same weight so I'd be happy to be your cheerleader. =)
 
Hi angels, I hope you have a smooth transition into your new goals and adventures. Stay with us during every step of the way. !!

We care.
 
Hey Cerella! I hope you have a great week; take that girl of yours for lots of walks (she'll learn about healthy living from you!):)
 
Welcome... I found it hard to write to strangers telling them everything I didn't really like to think about. Now it's just a daily thing and I don't worry about it. Guys write about guy stuff and girls write about girl things and somehow we just meet in the middle and it's a pretty well tuned group.
Welcome again........
 
The Curves membership was the only thing I have done for myself to date...I am a single mom of two and the x left when my youngest was 2.5 months she is now 2 years and 2 months old...It has hard to pay for it...the initial membership fee was like crazzzy, I think I paid it off in like four payments...LOL...When there is a will there is a way...
 
Thats the plan stan;):)...The oldest too...We need to connect more as a family...I am struggling with her...she doesnt want much connection anymore and it saddens me...she rarely wnats to hang with us:(
 
Today went well

Today went well, I am pretty proud of myself...I did a TaeBo work out before work, and hten went to Curves after work...I didnt get out for a walk though...a little dissappoint but by the time we got home and had dinner it was down pouring...Oh well...I think it is going to rain for awhile...But let me tell you, I did cardio before work and cardio after work plus i have a physical job...I WAS POOPED...LOL...

My eating was good today as well...I had oatmeal, a yoguart tube, an orange, a plum, dry special k,broccoli and dip, chicken ,asparagus and some potatoes for dinner...PLUS I am so PROUD...I drank all my water and then some...like the half my body weight and even more...WOW but I sure peed ALOT....I know that if I can keep up TaeBo plus my Curves and work along with my healthy eatign that I sure can meet my short term plus long term goals...:D :D :D ...Cross your fingers for me I am gonna do this!!!

Well yesturday wasnt the greatest eating day:eek: I caved and had a Mcchicken and a pop...my aunt bought me lunch and brought it to me...oatmeal for breakfast and broccoli and carrots adn dip for a snack...dinner was whole wheat pasta...which to my surprize is very good...with two pieces of garlic bread:eek: ...I even had a glass of chocolate milk before bed..shame on me...I did TaeBo in the morning and even though I didnt feel like it I went to Curves before they closed...I was so exhausted yesturday, so beat...but anyway in a nutshell that was my day...Oh I also didnt even drink half of my normal amount of water consumstoina nd I felt like crap...Today will be a bit different and a bit backwards but I still plan on going to Curves and doing TaeBo and being on better track with my eating...
 
Thursday

Well...Yesturday I treated myselkf and had a chocolate bar but guess what it made me feel sick...I also had half a slusha nd again made me feel sick...LOL...As far as eatign I had my oatmeal for breaky...sunomuno salad...a yoguart tube...carrots and dip...an apple...some chicken nuggets and a huge salad with chicken and real bacon and some cheese...didnt get to Curves because I was stuck in commuters hell yesturday...*UGH* what would normally be a 45 min trip home turned into a 3 hour trip...I was stuck onthe other side of the water and couldnt get across...I didnt get home till 630...left work at 315...this is why i had the sluch I had to stop for a pee break and needed to buy sometihng so I soothed my soul wiht a slushy...LOL...I did TaeBo in the am but didnt get to Curves...Over all I think I al doing well
 
Sounds like you need a kick in the butt:D I volunteer! Just take one day at atime, you can do it! Using fitday or sparkpeople to keep track of what you're eating is a great idea. I use a tracker on the weight watchers site, and it helps a lot.
 
:p Thanx...I need to start writing in here everyday also, my last 3 or 4 days havent been all that great, I have however been making better choices and when you look at calories it is much better, 1,200 calories is alot...thanx Dari, kick my butt please it needs it...I could use some support and i need to start giving some also...maybe you can break down the regulars for me...:) :confused:

Hey TLA,
Typically how it happens is that people visit the diaries of others who post in their's...that way you "spread the love."

It was nice to see that you had stopped by. :) As for writing in your diary everyday, it really does make you accountable and less likely to mess up...because everyone is watching. :p
 
I need all the bad critism I can get

*SIGH* Ive been so bad...I mean even my bad hasnt been anywhere near my worst or as bad as I use to be in general but still I have been very bad. Sadly enough the only person I am cheating is myself:eek: I will do a bad break down: LOL

Friday - I had a 6 inch cold cut trio sub on brown bread with 2 cookies and a coke zero

Friday night we ordered pizza...I had two pieces of pepperoni pizza and a cup of lasanga

Saturday - Two pieces of pizza and 5 mini donuts...a handful or so of Mcdonalds french fries

Sunday - A Wendy's Chicken BLT salad with a jr bacon cheese burger and a diet coke...and a ice cream cone after dinner

Monday - I was good, except dinner was pretty damn fatty...perogies...(8 @ 200 calories per 4) and fried garlic sausage...cant remeber but the meal totaled to 720 cals plus I had two servings or more of peas and corn...

Im bad when not working, usually when I am working I eat really well, my biggest and worse meal is dinner but I never eat in the evening before bed and only drink water or a cup of tea on occassion...

HELP ME PLEASE...This is my CRY for HELP
 
It's ok, no need to beat yourself up...pick yourself up and start over again. It's never too late to start again. Recognize your weaknesses and try to plan ahead. You're gonna have those slip up days, you're human (had my Sat.) but you come out on the other end stronger and more determined.
