Saturday!

I actually had a Saturday off! Wow! I'm still doing good on my eating, but I haven't worked out again yet. The kids even BEGGED me to take them to the track and walk tonight, but I'm still really sore and I'm SO enjoying the day off from work, so I promised I'd take them on Monday.

Food/Water from yesterday:

8am: banana & 8 oz chocolate milk
11:30am: celery & fat free dip
3:00pm: salad w/baked breaded chk patty, corn, cheese, salsa & ff sour cream
7:30pm: salad w/boiled egg, ham, cheese, craisins & ff Catalina dressing
10pm: banana
I drank lots and lots of water again! I felt very yucky and water logged... I swear I need bread to soak up the water in my tummy LOL

Food/Water today:

11am: two scrambled eggs w/cheddar cheese
12:30pm: "cutie" orange & 8 oz chocolate milk
5:30pm: bbq grilled chicken salad from Applebees
7pm: 1 chocolate kiss
9pm: herbal tea w/2 tsp sugar & small amount skim milk
I didn't drink as much water today, but I still drank at least 8 cups. After the yucky watery feeling of yesterday I decided to lay off just a bit.

Hooray for day three of healthy eating!

It's Been Forever!

I have SO slacked on this blog, but even worse than that I've slacked on being healthy, at all!

Instead of making this posting a confession time, I'm instead going to make this a I'm-back-on-the-wagon-and-from-here-on-out-going-to-be-better posting :)

I seem to be right at my standard measurements... I sometimes go up and down, but when I'm not working out and eating right then this is where I am. I've packed healthy food for lunch and dinner again, so today should be another good day. I'm also planning on working out again tonight, even though I'm way sore.

I'm trying to avoid carbs for a week to work the cravings out of my body and then I'll introduce whole grains back in. Wish me luck!!!

Haven't done much....

Well... I set my newest goal about a week and a half ago. I've done well at avoiding junk food and pop (until I fell off the wagon this weekend... way off), but I haven't been working out yet. I have GOT to get my stupid gym pass asap. I'm definitely not going to make my goal at this rate. Today I'm going to swing by and sign up at the gym. Then the trick will be finding the time to go. I work 5 days and 4 nights a week through the whole month...

GOAL TIME!!!

I'm not a big one for setting and keeping weight-loss goals... I usually just try to do my best and hopefully something works LOL

BUT... I am determined to drop a pant size by Jan. 1st! Here are my measurements today and they better start shrinking :)

waist: 36"
hips: 44"
right thigh: 25"
left thigh: 24 3/4"

To meet my goal I'd like to get to 34" on my waist and 41" on my hips. Time to get working!!!

I'm getting a gym pass next week and I'm going to try and get down there at least twice a week. Yesterday for breakfast I had a big bowl of oatmeal and for dinner I had a salad at the California Pizza Kitchen. This morning it was peanut butter and jelly on whole wheat toast for breakfast and water, water, water....

I have several reasons for this goal... one is I freakin' have 20-something pair of size 10 pants that I'd really like to start wearing, two is I have a fun photo shoot planned for January and I'd like to look a little slimmer and three is I've been talking quite a bit to a soldier in Afghanistan who will be stateside in December and on leave in February and I'm hoping to look good when I meet him in person in February :)

Wish me luck!!!

:(

Well...... almost no change :( I've been working my abs for 10 minutes most days, but my eating has been crap. I have a hot tub date on Wednesday, I'm really sad I'm so blobby, but whatever. I do well at dressing flattering, but you can't hide much in a swimsuit.

I've been extremely depressed for two weeks and haven't been eating well or drinking enough water. I need to get over it and start doing better.

This pic is me on Saturday.

I haven't had any motivation to work out for two weeks because I've still been losing, but for the first time in months I've had a 1/4 inch gain both on my waist and hips, so there's the stupid motivation LOL

Back to exercising :(
