Yarm's No More Excuses!

Day 183, 184, 185 (Sat, Sun, Mon)

Well . . . this is the first real chance I've had to post for the past weekend.

Saturday after sleeping in, I headed to my Mom's to visit and offer some help. I had a piece of toast for breakfast, had lunch out at a chinese place and was so full I never ate dinner that evening.

Sunday was early church, then went to lunch with hubby and the girls. I did allow myself a burger and fries, and again, was so full, didnt eat dinner. We did some grocery shopping and other store shopping to use some gift cards.

Monday, hubby had hernia surgery. I had my breakfast but no lunch. They were running late, and we didnt get home till 4 30ish. Then I had to run out to pick up his medications and I stopped at the store for a salad.

All in all, I did not eat too badly, but I did not get any formal exercise in. I have been doing well on the water tho.

I have tracked my food intake today and hope to get on the NT, but hard because I'm tending to my husband who is indeed sore, but dosnt handle pain that well.
 
Day 186 (Tuesday)

Too many carbs, not enough exercise.

Calories are ok for the day, but I have not yet exercised :cuss:.

Home today taking care of hubby. Waiting for motivation to strike me across the face . . don't think its gonna happen. I submitted a photo to that weightview website that will show what I look like 30 lbs lighter but have not yet gotten it back. I was planning on that being my new motivation but really need to rely on myself for that. Considering joining the body makeover contest- just leary of how much time I can dedicate as I am planning my 20th anniversary celebration for mid-April . . hmm THAT could serve as some motivation, eh?

Day 187 (Wednesday)

Again, tired and not motivated to get out of bed and on the NT- the good news? . . I got exercise in the evening dancing with my youngest. I took Irish Step dancing as a kid and now she is taking lessons and she is coaching me. It's actually quite a cardio workout!

Water in, menu good. SHOULD see a loss on friday, but not sure how much as I have not really put "that much" effort into it. :banghead:

I think I will start a new approach to getting "completely" back on track- by taking baby steps. Formal exercising a min of 4 days a week, 35 min session( nordik track/walking/running)- and work my way back to 5-6 days a week.

Hey Yarm!

I just realized you and I are about the same weight. We'll have to keep tabs on one another and keep ourselves on track. :)

Day 190 & 191 (Saturday & Sunday)

I posting this a few days late, and it's hard to recall what the weekend entailed.

I know that I did not get formal exercise this weeked. I also know I grazed most of the day on Sunday, at the Superbowl/birthday bash - eating more than normal, but not "binge-ing". I got some water in both days, but have yet to finish a whole water bottle.
 
Day 192 (Monday)

SO TIRED this morning, but got my lazy duff outta bed and on the NT for 45 minutes. Ate pretty good and drank most of my water.

Still stuck i the mentality of "going thru the motions" but not being "motivated". Even after I got the picture back form WeightView showing what I could look like with a 20 lb loss, it did not change/inspire me to get excited. I feel those old familiar voices in my head telling me to stop worrying about my weight, that I am what I am and eat what I want . . or that I should eat hwhat I want and "Start over" tomorrow, etc. So far I am resisting those thoughts, but I dont want to hear them at all. I guess the loss of my father has effected more than I am aware. I have some more soul searching to do, and some realistic goals and plans to put on the table. Maybe the upcoming Lenten Season will have a positive impact and contribute to a change for the better.

Day 195 (Thursday)

I'm feeling pretty miserable with myself. It's been weeks now of being blah, lacking motivation. Where is the commitment? Where is the dedication? I keep saying "I will do . . .this, I will do that." I can talk the talk, but not walking the walk.

This diary is called "no more excuses"- I am looking for an explanation, not an excuse as to why I am lacking the "umph". Things haven't felt/been the same referring the the weightloss journey since before my Dad got so sick and died. But it's not like I'm too distracted mouring him, or helping Mom. Yes, I think about him alot, and Mom does consume alot of my time, but its not time that is keeping me from my goals- it is lack of motivation.

Lent began yesterday. Maybe the next 40 days of reflection in the spiritual sense will help me find what is holding me back. (I gave up chocolate)

Day 200 (Tuesday)

Well, I've done it . . . I've hit rock bottom. I'm completely miserable with myself for the choices I have made, or didnt make. It was bound to happen, I'm ashamed to say.

As posted recently, I have been missing the "excitement" factor for some time now, and the whole process has been slowing down because of it. This weekend, hubby and I celebrated our 20th anniversary. We went to a B & B in the mountains and had a wonderful time. I ate too much, and exercised even less- save the mini hike when visiting a local Civil War battlefield. And foolishly, have allowed myself to fall into bad habits since getting back of eating whatever I want, as much as I want and usually when I'm not even hungry. That coupled with the being lazy and not exercise has resulted in a miserable mood and unconfirmed weight gain. I'm too scared to even look at what the scale is gonna read.

What I need is a swift kick in the arse. I ahve been tempted with the old familiar "start next week . . . start tomorrow . . ." or being lured into a diet program like Slimfast, etc. Those didnt work in the past, and they wont now. I KNOW what needs to be done. It's just the matter of being committed enough to do what has to be done. Once I get back into the GOOD habits, the entire journey will become easier.

As I started to journal, I couldnt help but notice this is day 200 since starting back in August. I WAS making great progress. I have to start with additional tools to assist my getting back on track. I need to set mini goals, and long term goals. There is no reason I can't be at my goal weight by the 1 yr marker (if not sooner!). I MUST visualize the future . . of what I can and WILL look like with the pounds gone.

The plan :
-Eat within daily caloric allotment(no estimating)
-Cardio exercise 3-5 times a week, 30+ min per session
-Strength training routine 2 times a week

Mini goal: lose 5 lbs by March 1st
 
Hey
Don't be so hard on yourself. I think that we all go thru a setback of some sort. At some point or another it is bound to happen.
For me it is right now.
Even though it would appear that I am still doing well I am now moving at a snails pace. This weather that we keep getting and getting it just getting to me something awful. All I want to do is CARB UP. LOL
And now that I have myself so busy I feel like I have no time for myself to even just sit and relax.
No time for reflection.
I know that I could be doing much better if I would only get my head more into the game.
I just try to remind myself that everyday is a fresh start. And that even the smallest effort is better than no effort at all.
I am glad that you will be able to use your Lent season as a time of guidance.
Just remember to ease up a bit on yourself. You have had some major things happen in the last few months and even if you "feel" that they aren't coloring how you handle things they are. You can't have such major stuff happen and not expect for the core of who you are to not change.
Keep your chin up.
I know you can do this.
One day at a time.

Day 201 (Wednesday)

Thank you Bell for your words of encouragement. We all are human and make mistakes, tis true . . I just need to learn from them and become stronger because of them.

11:00am- What a wet, dreary and miserable day. An ice storm is passing thru the area but the precipitation varies from rain, to snow to ice all over the state. The weather is not gonna put me in a bad mood! I got up at 6:15am and did 35 min on the NT!The first small step in the right direction. As I have "preached" many times before, it is much harder to get up and on the equipment than it is to actually do the work out. Unfortunately, about 25 minto the routine I felt something "pull" in my back again. I SHOULD have done some stretching first! Hopefully, it won't bother so much as interfere with my exercising.

So, reluctantly, I stepped on the scale to see how bad the damage is: 173.6lbs.
I got me some WORK to do!

HI Yarmiah!

Thanks for checking up on me and you are right, we are living parallel lives. I could have written your post about feeling miserable and not making the right choices. I am so up and down, I am so good for two days then I make a bad choice and it is all downhill from there.
The one thing somehow stuck with me is going to the gym. I made it about 4-5 times /week even when I was eating horribly. On Monday I was 148 (before Christmas I was 141, how depressing this is) so I need to nip this in the butt before it gets to be 150 then 155 and so on....
I re-started on Monday, I am not sure I am motivated, I am more scarred of gaining everything back that I lost and having to start all over again.
I posted a picture of me at my highest weight on fridge door and put the saying up under it: nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. DH made fun of me but I am desperate to get back on track and right now it seemed the right thing to do.
Also I am eating 1400 cals "good food" (wise choices even for snacks) and allow myself that last 100 cals to be as bad as i feel like at the time. could be ice-cream, chocolate, pudding... whatever.
I also had to reduce the amount of cooking I do for DH. I just couldn't keep myself away from the sweets once I made it for him, so now he has to suffer and eat store bought junk because I will not make it for him.

So how about if we do our own mini-challenge? Keep each other motivated every day? If you are interested I can Pm you my e-mail address as well.

I don't blame you for not getting on the NT, I belive the weather has something to do with it. As soon as the cold weather hit, the last thing I want to do is get in my basement on my treadmill. I haven't used the darn thing for over a month now, I just can't talk myself into it. Once the weather is nicer and we can do different activities besides the NT, I am sure we will be doing a lot better in the exercise department.

Looking forward to keep each other on track!! I am going to the gym this afternoon!!!

Have a good day

Wah Hoo!

I'm getting in the right frame of mind . . . . finally. The alarm went off, and although I was tired I was still motivated to get up and exercise. I keep visualizing in my mind me hiking up a mountain. THIS is my focus and a real goal. I CAN DO IT!

Day 204 (Saturday)

An early start as I have to be at work by 8 am, but that's ok- it's a beautiful day!

The kids slept over at my in-laws so I will have the afternoon to myself. I will likely knock out some laundry and then may work on writring down some goals/plans. In addition to my weightloss and hiking, I really need to come up with a plan to get the house in shape= minor repairs, painting, new furniture etc.

After work, came home, knocked out some laundry and took a short nap. Made enchiladas for dinner- over 600 calories per serving(2), but I could afford it. They were quit filling tho, and in future I'm sure I could have just one and a salad instead. I got a godo walk in with the dog too, even tho today is not an "exercise" day. Oh, and I stopped at the library and got some books out on local hiking trails for humans AND dogs!

I am really happy to hear that things are looking up for you.
What a nice treat it must have been getting up this morning and having the start of it all to yourself.
Here's hoping that the GREATNESS of the day follows you wherever you go.
 
Day 205(Sunday)

Oh uh . . . I woke up and feel a burning in my throat. It's now 6 30pmish and I know I have "something". I feel achy all over and my throat hurts quite a bit, especially when coughing. I took some bayer and it is helping, but I really don't wanna get sick. :ack2: I just started getting back on track with eating and exercise.

I stopped at Walmart after church to get a few things, had a bowl of soup and lied down. Pretty much veggin' all day.

Hi Yarm,

I'm glad to see you've become motivated again. Sometimes it's good to take some time off. :)

Congrats on your 20th anniversary. In this day and age, that is quite an accomplishment. :cheers2:

I'm sorry you're not feeling well. :( I hope it passes quickly. You are smart to take it easy today.
