Sunday-Sept 30, 2007-thoughts

Ok. NO MORE OFF PLAN FOR ME. Tonight, I binged bad--really bad. Like about 20 extra points bad. I have come to the comclusion that NO ONE can do this for me. I need to eat what I want and budget to stay OP. I can do this, I know I can. I have done it in the past and I will do it again.

Starting tomorrow-MONDAY
I will stay within my range
Get some form of activity (even if for 10 minutes)
Get some sleep
Get caught up on work for Donna
Keep the housework caught up

I can't believe that I have blown this whole day off. I think it may be because I didn't feel a support system. I need a support system. I'm gonna have to be my own but, I will take a point from a meeting and find an anchor. To anchor me to my goal!!

I will do this-for me and no one else!

Friday-thoughts on exercise

Well, I might just get up about 9:30 and take the baby for a walk at the park. It will depend on how my bronchitis feels anyway. BUT I WILL DO SOMETHING TOMORROW.
It may just be stretches but, I am going too!!

And I will record it here what I did!

Tonight I bought myself a little notebook to put in my purse and a WW magazine too. I am going to relax and read it tonight!

I MET MY WATER GOAL TODAY!!

Workout moms

I have decided that I want to be a workout mom. I want to be able to get up early and workout for me. I want to be a healthy mom for my family and a hot wife for my hubby. I want to do something constructive with my life instead of just sitting around the house all day playing w baby B.

At least I feel like I am getting my house and health in order. This blog seems to be working alot. I think I will check out some workout options I can do here in the am -ALONE without being interrupted. I do know that this will take a lot on my part to get up early and do it but, I have to and I will, because I am not going to let my Diabetes get me nor, am I going to wind up with Asthma-because the doc asks me that everytime I get bronchitis, if I have it or anyone in my family has it.

So, I have decided to join a WW challenge and I will be accountable there as well. I feel like I am finally doing something for myself!

Eight Good Health Guidelines

Eight Good Health Guidelines

1. Eat at least five servings of vegetables and fruits each day.
2. Choose whole-grain foods, such as brown rice and oats, whenever possible.
3. Include two servings of milk products – low fat (1%) or fat-free – each day.
4. Have some healthy oil (olive oil, canola, sunflower, safflower or flaxseed) each day.
5. Ensure that you are getting enough protein by choosing at least a serving or two of meat, poultry, fish, eggs, or dried beans each day. Many dairy products are also good sources of protein.
6. Limit added sugar and alcohol.
7. Drink at least 6 8-ounce glasses of water a day.
8. Take a multiple vitamin-mineral supplement each day.
What's a serving size?

1. Fruits, vegetables and leafy greens: Serving sizes are 1 cup for leafy greens and 1/2 cup for all other vegetables and fruits. The lettuce alone in a large salad may well count for 2 or more vegetable servings. The default portion for most fruits and vegetables is 1 cup.

2. Packaged whole grains: Use the nutrition label to determine the serving size of packaged whole grain foods.

3. Milk and dairy: If you are more than 50 years old or are a teenager or a nursing mom, increase milk servings to three each day. Examples of one milk serving include 1 cup of milk or yogurt or 1 1/2 ounces of many cheeses.

4. Healthy oils: Having 2 teaspoons of healthy oil each day ensures that you get the vitamin E and essential fatty acids that your body needs. Use the oil on salads, in cooking or as an ingredient in a mixed dish. 2 teaspoons of oil is not even 1 tablespoon, so be careful to measure, since each additional teaspoon counts as another POINTS® value of 1.

5. Lean meat and fish: A serving of lean meat or fish is generally 3 to 4 ounces, about the size of a deck of cards.

6. Water: Six 8-ounce glasses of water is just 3 standard 16-ounce bottles.

Thursday -9/27/07

Well, I haven't been counting points since I have been really sick and feeling very run down. It's hard to feel better chasing a 2 year old around all day, who btw, is also sick but, none more energetic than before. Not that I want him to be...I just want to take a nap and some peace and quiet. I'm really kind of bummed because I will only get pd for 12 hrs this pay pd instead of my 20. But, I haven't worked all week, so, at least I get something. That's good.

I am going to start counting points again as soon as I feel better. I have been watching what i eat anyway. I just want to see the scale go down even more. I think I will join a WW challenge on the board.

-When I reach 184--Dispatches from the Edge: A Memoir of War, Disasters, and Survival (Paperback)

5 pounds- new dressy shirt
10 pounds- new pj's
15 pounds- pedicure
20 pounds- new jeans
MY 10% WEIGHT: 29 pounds- ask J for a B&N gift card or DSP gc

I know this is cheesy but I am going to collect something for every pound I lose! (I just have to fugre out what!)

One pound motivation!!

Hello, do you know me?

If you don't, you should. I'm a pound of fat,

And I'm the HAPPIEST pound of fat that you would ever want to meet.

Want to know why?

It's because no one ever wants to lose me;

I'm ONLY ONE POUND, just a pound!

Everyone wants to lose three pounds, five pounds, or fifteen pounds, but never only one.

So I just stick around and happily keep you fat.

Then I add to myself, ever so slyly, so that you never seem to notice it.

That is, until I've grown to ten, twenty, thirty or even more pounds in weight.

Yes, it's fun being ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT, left to do as I please.

So, when you weigh in, keep right on saying, "Oh, I only lost one pound."

(As if that were such a terrible thing.)

For you see, if you do this, you'll encourage others to keep me around because they'll think I'm not worth losing.

And, I love being around you - your arms, your legs, your chin, your hips and every part of you.

Happy Days!!!

After all, I'm ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT!!!

Some motiviation!

This will make me think twice about going off plan!!
