Go me

From January 7 until the end of the month I lost 7 pounds. I feel that is pretty good for just starting back. This week I got in 1 hour a day for 3 days, and 1 hour 45 minutes for 1 day at the gym. I have been counting my points. I am hoping the weight comes off faster now. Before, I was just treadmilling at home.

Very excited about my changes

Last week from Monday to Friday I lost 3.4 pounds. This week I have been treadmilling, and exercising. It feels good when I am finished. I have been keeping track of my water, fruit, veggies, and dairy. I am keeping track of my points, but it feels like in the evening I get off track of counting a bit. During the day I count just fine. I do find myself snacking a bit at night as well. Last night I was good. I did not snack, and I think I only had 1 diet soda all day. I am super excited but need to get moving. I really do want to be able to run one day.

New year, new me!

Ok so today is 1/14/13. In the last 3 months I have gained back a lot of weight. We had the holidays and this past weekend was my husbands birthday. I let myself eat whatever I wanted, knowing that today was going to be the start over of my weight loss. I have to say though. I felt awful and tired through the whole holiday, because the food choices I made. I had forgotten what it felt like to eat and feel like that. I mean I had felt good for so long, that I did not realize how bad it used to be. I do now. I am so excited to start over on the healthy lifestyle train. I so much am looking forward to energy and being awake. I honestly am excited. I am going to start counting my points again, water, exercise the whole thing. I can not believe the difference in the points for men and women though. It is outrageous. I get 29 but if I was a man I would get more than 40. I am happy being me, just saying I think it is a bit of a rip off. Lol. Well I am going to post my food and points on here so that I can keep myself in check. I want to start running and wanted to do the 3 day walk this year. I am disappointed in myself for letting me slip like this. But, it happens and I am just starting over.

Yikes

Seriously I just don't get it. When I did weight watchers in Feb 2011 it was so easy for me. I lost 50 pounds. I went on a couple of vacations after that. When I go on vacation I eat what I want. I am a food person, and to me that is a big part of vacation. In one year I lost and kept off 50 pounds. After the trips I just have not gotten back into it and have gained a bunch back. I have gained back 20 pounds back since Feb 2012. Even last weekend I ate pizza and Ben and Jerry ice cream. Any ideas? I have tried since Feb to get back on it, and I don't know what is going on. I have not worked for 2 months now. I get more movement now then when I worked so it is not from sitting on the couch. I just have no urge to eat in the points. I just munch. Somehow I have to jump start this. I feel like I keep saying it, but still have not done it. I really need to do this. UUGGHH!

So far this week

I have done pretty good this week with exercise. Monday - walked 3 miles at the gym Tuesday - walked 2 miles at the gym Wednesday - walked 3 miles at the gym Thursday - walked 3 miles at the gym Friday - Did not go to the gym My dad has been meeting me at the gym. He met me there 3 days this week. I am very proud of him for doing that. I walk much slower when he walks with me, but I am so happy to see him exercising. I enjoy spending time with him also. On the eating I did not do as well. I find my self munching a lot. It is low point stuff, but eating more times than I should. I am weighing in on Monday so we shall see.

Back on track

I think I have said this several times, but I am getting back on track. I know I know, but for real. It is so aggrevating. I will do good for 2 weeks or so and then slip and gain it back. Enough is enough. I do have a few functions coming up this weekend, but I need to be able to get through it all and still losing weight. I was going to the gym and lost 4.4 in 2 weeks, then gained big time the next week. I need to do this. I am not going to let myself get back to the beginning. I am heading that way. I was at 169 when I was done losing, and now I am at 183. I have to get this under control. Now I am not working so I am going to get on the ball. Starting Monday I am going to go to the gym for one hour a day as many days as I can. I am going to start being more aware of what I eat. Any suggestions you have I would love to hear. I feel like a broken record saying the same things. It is time for a change. I am making other changes and this one will be added in. Stay tuned... I am going to update daily so that I can see what it is I have done every day.

New Week

I weighed myself today. I weighed in at 184.2. I am watching Extreme makeover weight loss. This show is sad but good at the same time. I am starting tomorrow morning. I have 3 weeks to lose as much weight as I can. I plan to walk as much as I can, but to eat right at the same time. Here we go........
