Last week TOM came to visit and usually I gain about 3 pounds water weight but didn’t gain anything. I weighed in this morning…… last week I was 240 and scale said 237 this morning. WooooHooooo!!!!!!! 3 POUNDS DOWN and 97 to go, lol

I probably Cut off My Head to Spite my Face…..

Regarding my blog about a week ago. I told my ex to take his money and shove it! But in a little nicer way. After two weeks of almost literaly begging him for money for school clothes.

I have a lot of pride(which is one of my downfalls) and don’t like to ask him for anything… Even though he should be supporting his kids. He loves to play games. And if he didn’t have it I would understand like I have in the past. But he told me he has it hes just to busy to deposit it in my account…so I told him to keep it.

I figure it is stressing me out more by getting upset at him and his games. I have made it the last 12 years without him and will keep on making it.

So on the upside I am using all of my energy on myself and my kids( Amanda and Kiara). The scale is starting to creep down a little but not by much. But thats not discouraging me because I have started to loss inches around my C-Section belly! Woohoo! 2inches! Because every night for past two weeks I have been working out. For the past 5 days have been going a total of 5 miles on my Gazelle. I have been drinking at least 6 cups of water daily. I did cheat a little on the weekend but i never went over my fat and calorie limit daily. I am trying to lower my carbs because I think that is one of my problems. Well until the next blog…lol

Everyone one have a great Tuesday!!

Positive support does work…

Thanks for the positive and supportive comments on my blog yesterday. It really did a world of good. I stuck to my plan yesterday and worked out on my Gazelle for 30 minutes. I weighed myself this morning and scale moved back down a pound.

Sometimes I can really get worked up and upset and my motivation just gets shot. I was beating myself up over 3 pounds. Sometimes just 1 pound if you gain it back seems like 100 pounds. Because its so easy to gain it but a major struggle to lose it.

Thanks again!

Its HUMP DAY! Everyone have a great day and hugs.. :0)

What is my problem!!?…

Well, I am back up 3 pounds. A hard pill to swallow. I didn’t want to blog about this because now I have to admit I have a problem with motivation and self control. Most of my week last week was a wash out. I didn’t care about what I put into my mouth. I could never admit it but I use food as a comfort tool. On a positive note I DID continue to drink my water.

Last night I got into an argument with my ex over money for school clothes for my kids. I am tired of begging this man for help…. Well to make a long story short. After a major crying fit and feeling sorry for myself I headed for the fridge!

I really want to lose this weight but I know deep down I am sabotaging my own efforts.

So I guess I have to keep on keeping on! I know I have to stop taking the easy way out and stop whinning and feeling sorry for myself. So I started back on diet yesterday. Didn’t do great but did control myself better than last week.

Well everyone have a great Tuesday and Hugs! :0)

Not sure What I am doing wrong….

The scale has not budged in about a week and actually its trying to creep up a little. I cut out all soda. Once in a while I might have a sip just for the taste. I am drinking lots of water. I was lowering my carbs.. I am not eating too much not really that hungry. Can’t figure it out unless I am going too low on my calorie and fat intake which I wasn’t really counting. I have not worked out in last 2 days but will tonight.

Well Hooray! Fridays here. But heres another challenge, I have a harder time on the weekends sticking to my diet. Monday will be 3 weeks. Sorry to sound so discouraged everyone, just trying not to give up on this. Because thats really what I want to do but I know that I can’t. Have to keep on trying.

Well you all have a good Friday because the Weekend is here! Hugs everyone! :0)

I can’t remember whoes blog it was on…

Someone on Buddyslim had wrote a blog about Virgin Coconut Oil . I did some additional research on it. Its supposed to boost metabolism and sometimes helps aid in weight loss. Well after work I went to GNC and got a bottle in pill form… Its natural so figure it couldn’t do any harm. I will let you all know how that works out.

Well I weighed myself and the scale has not moved since last time I weighed myself (Saturday). I am trying hard not to get discouraged only been a few days.

Well I am off to do shopping for school for the kids -that should be fun. I have been exercising every night and I think I will take a break tonight…..

Such a boring blog tonight! lol Hugs everyone!

This is probably a stupid question….

Ok, I have increased my water to about 48 oz everyday. Before I started I was not drinking water at all. Can anyone tell me if I add crystal light does that still count as water intake? I also know that crystal light doesn’t have carbs or surgar but it does have some calories. I know its probably a dumb question… Anyway everyone have a great Monday! Hugs!

Now I remember why I don’t like doing sit-ups….

clswolfe — Sat, 28 Jul 2007 19:35:14 +0000

Last night for the first time in years and years I attempted to do sit ups after working out on my Gazelle. I must of only done maybe 10 and I felt like passing out, lol. Afterward I was so nausiated(hope I spelled that right) and felt like hurling! (sorry I know thats gross)lol. But I ‘m proud of myself I worked out every night last week and I actually wanted to do it.

So I weighed in this morning and down another pound and half, WooHoo! I did cheat last night had quite a bit of pasta with dinner. Since I am watching carbs not really supposed to have any.

Also theres soda in the house again and I am getting ready to throw it out when know one else is looking. My oldest daughter(10) is addicted to it also…. and I use to wander why shes so hyper sometimes.

The weekends are the hardest for me. Thats when I don’t drink the right amounts of water and more tempted to cheat. I did give myself Sundays to cheat but I started last night. A little worried…trying to stay motivated.

Well just got back from swimming with the kids going to get a HEALTHY snack everyone have a great weekend!

I was feeling a little discouraged…but better today.

A few days ago I felt like throwing in the towel. I weighed myself after work and the scale went up a few pounds. I was so upset because I thought I was doing really good with the diet. But I figured my body is probably overwhelmed by the amounts of water I am consuming(something its not used to). So I put it down to water weight.

So to make a long story short…. I weighed myself today and the scale went down 2 more pounds. Woohoo!

On another note I have so much energy and have started working out on the gazelle. I am so blessed lately when I get home instead of cleaning I am able to start working out because my 10 and 8 year had decided to clean the whole house for me. I guess this was their well hidden secret. Because they actually did a great job! Sometimes I try to do it all on my own and didn’t realize I had two little helpers there for me this whole time. They are my angels, God has truly blessed me.

Well Happy Thursday everyone have a Great Day, I know I am!
