Week 1 Day 3 ...
Ok - I'm not sure if this new motivation is because I can see the scale moving but I literally feel lighter on my feet and much more motivated to make this happen.
Here were my goals for yesterday:
1) get 5000 steps in today min - CHECK 6040 Min...
2) drink my water - CHECK
3) stay within pts - CHECK
4) research pedometers - CHECK
5) measurements - CHECK
Wow... full 5/5 - I'm pretty proud of myself.
1. First off, I found a new pedometer on apps called Striiv and so far it seems to work pretty welll. The last app that I had did not really record steps very well if my phone was in my bag etc. This one seems pretty good. So the only time it records is when I'm walking with my phone which is on way to work, on way home from work and when I exercise. So 6040 for the day (actually after 10am) is pretty good because I am not recording all steps. I think I want to get an official ped checker though but more on that later...
2) Drank my water... mostly at work.. but still did it.
3) stay within pts - Came right on. Actually I think I went over by two but I had activity pts to use so I don't really count those as pts consumed.
4) research peds - I did this and think I'll put off buying one until I go to Vegas. Maybe they will be cheaper down there than up here. I want a fitbit one.
5. Measurements - this was nasty... my waist was 41". Is that even possible? Regardless it's recorded... next recording will be right before i go to vegas... got me some work to do.
today's goals:
1) 6000 steps
2) Water
3) stay within pts
4) clean the downstairs bathroom
5) 10 pushups
Don't ask about 4 - I think I need to add cleaning goals in there or my house will never be cleaned! :-)
Till tomorrow...

Day 2 check in
So I challenged myself yesterday on a few small goals. How did I do?
Giving myself a challenge today :
1. Drink lots of water - CHECK
2. Move today - do something active. CHECK 50 min walk
3. No sweets after dinner - eat fruit! - Hmmm, had a very small piece of brownie... so FAIL
4. take measurements.... FAIL
5. keep within pts today - CHECK!
3/5 not too bad and I would say I accomplished the important ones in the mix. I pushed myself to go for the walk and I was glad I did. It was a bit chilly outside but not raining or anything crazy like that so it was nice to go for a little walk.
Might do the same tonight when Nick is practicing. What else am I going to do?
It's nice and light in the mornings which we know will come to an end soon because daylight savings is creeping upon us. Dark mornings though will mean light evenings and I can use those!!!
Last night's walk included 4.5 hikes up the stairs at the overpass in ladner. Next time I want to do 5 or 5.5...!
Trying to track my steps too - my iphone recorded 3000+ on my walk last night. And at a fast pace too.. Would like to get a real pedometer but I think I need to do more walking first to justify it.
Maybe I'll google and see how much one costs??
today's goals :
1) get 5000 steps in today min
2) drink my water
3) stay within pts
4) research pedometers
5) measurements
till later...

Another new week.. maybe a warmer one
The last week was a tough one emotionally. I fought with my weight not budging and knowing that it should be. I was good with my food, I did not exercise.
I think this is the piece that I need to change. I think I'm going to have to start walking again. And I will do so tonight if it's not too cold, wet. Right now it's raining so that will have to get a bit better.
The scale was better this morning. At least it's moving in the right direction. I feel like I lost 2 weeks as I gained last week and now I'm basically back to where I was 2 weeks ago. Oh well, better that I be back to where I was 2 weeks ago then even heavier!
Had a good weekend seeing a few friends and having a few drinks. Discovered that if I have a salad before I go out, I don't go crazy with the food!
I think I need to challenge myself more often. Like weekly or even daily. So I 'm going to start today. I'd like to challenge myself all of March.

It's monday again..
Well it's monday and it's weigh in day. And i'm still up from last monday but at least down from the dreaded friday weight. Today I clock in at 207.. although it was wavering a bit from 206.5 so it could be closer to 206.8?? But still an ounce here and an ounce there is not work marking down.
I was good this weekend. Even worked out! shut up... and my legs are killing me this morning. I worked out Saturday so need to look into whether I should work out again tonight or wait until Wed...??
Eating as clean as possible. :) good week ahead of me. I am thinking I'll see a big loss this week.
Oh and I'm trying to drink lemon water every morning and night to see if that helps with the flushing of the toxins in my body. We will see.
Smooches! happy monday!

Friday part 2....
I'm so bloated I'm in pain. I'm starting to think this is going to explain the extra 4 lbs on the scale today.
UGH... thats it! Just constant uncomfortableness....
UGH... thats it! Just constant uncomfortableness....
I don't get it....
Well I do get it but I don't... get it? LOL.
I weigh myself every morning. I know that it throws some people off but it keeps me on track. If I only weighed myself once a week and it happened to be on one of those days when my weight goes funky. I'd be depressed all week! ALL week!
So anyways, my official weigh in day is monday and this monday I was 205.5. High, but at least the scale has been moving in the right direction.
Yesterday I jumped on the scale and it said 207.5. Really? Maybe that has something to with hormones and ovulation week? I'm starting to track my monthly cycle so that I can see where my weight fluctuates and how.
Last night we opted to not go out for dinner but instead just get in sushi. We ate sushi, a lot of sushi but still not crazy. No dessert and no alcohol!. Weighed myself this morning and I was 209!!! Say what???
Bullshit! Bullshit is all I can say.

As I get older I get wiser....and a bit more blind..
I've been horrible at taking pictures of my family and more importantly I've been horrible for having pictures taken of me. I hate my picture being taken and I hate looking at pictures of myself.
But now that my mom is gone and it's been a number of years, I wish I had more photos of her to look at.
I don't want that for my family so I vow now to not care what I look like and have my picture taken and to take pictures myself.
Here's a little blog I read this morning about it and it hits the head on the nail.
http://myfriendteresablog.com/so-youre-feeling-too-fat-to-be-photographed/
In other news, I'm still down from last week and trying to keep on track. So far so good. Need to plan out a dinner and keep it low fat.
I can do this.
Smooches!

Boredom
Even the word is boring and makes you go zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I've been relatively good the last few days. I've made new recipes that have been lovely and on par with WW eating so all is good there. I went over a few points the other night and only 1 last night.
Brought my lunch today and might go out for a little walk. Not to mention pick up a bottle of wine for the weekend. Don't judge me. I only have a few glasses a night and it's a 3 day weekend! Whoop!
Weight is holding still at 205.5.... we will see what happens on monday.
Might actually raise my ass off the couch this weekend and go for a run.... MIGHT!.. and might not.

Sabotage
It almost feels like whenever I post something on this blog I sabotage myself and go hog wild. Just like last night.
I was starving last night, which resulted in a pig out before dinner and then a sodium loaded dinner of beef and broccoli. It was good though.
Tonight's dinner will be chicken cause we haven't had chicken all week!
So I did myself a favor and counted everything that I ate yesteray. All the bites, licks and tastes. I went over 10 pts... minimum but we are going to count 10.
Today I regroup and drink my water to flush the sodium and eat clean.
That's it. Talk tomorrow, and hopefully I'll be reporting about a very clean sucessful day.
Maybe i'll even go for a workout tonight if I feel up to it.

here we go again....
It's been awhile.. Actually a very long time since I have been here and not much has change. I have contemplated changing things up, changing the look and feel of this blog and I might just do that but I'm not ready just yet.
I need to back up first, just a bit. About 6 months worth of backing up. At the end of August I went for my overdue check up with the doc. I was scared of going because I knew I was heavier than I had been in past years and that he would be mad at me. What happened I did not expect and I was devestated from it. During my routine exam of taking my pulse and checking my blood pressure, the doctor was unable to find a pulse (or a loud pulse) and my blood pressure was not loud enough to get a decent measure. That scared me. Scared me because of the way that I have let my body go and as a result my doctor was unable to get a good reading of my heart because of the fat in my body.
I left that doctor's office devestated. I cried for a good day (in private of course) and told myself that I was changing. I was going to become healthy, lose the weight and show the doctor and myself that I could take care of myself.
Did I? Uh no. I didn't. And hear I sit 6 months later in the same state that I was leaving that doctors office.
Well, that is up until 2 weeks ago. 2 weeks ago I joined WW again and I feel better. I am down 4.5 lbs and feeling more normal than I have in years. I see a light at the end of the tunnel and I'm going to head towards it!
It's not going to be easy. Actually it's going to be really hard but I have to do it for my health.
Lately I have had problems with my eyesight, my skin, frequent urination at night and I lookd it up yesterday and it might be a sign of diabetes. GAH! I have to turn my lift around now! Not yesterday, but now!!
So here is my pledge on this journey. I need to take care of me so that I am well enough in the future to take care of others.
It's going to take baby steps.. my first step is eating right and then I will add movement. I'd like to start running again but with my size right now that will be hard, and painful. We will see though. Baby steps.
WI day was yesterday and I was 206.5 UGH
But I stepped on the scale today and it it sang back to me 205.5 - not really sang but you know what I mean!!! Let's hoping it continues the downward spiral.
Peace out!
