Healthy people

Healthy people look so much better in pics and so much prettier in real life. I want to look really put together and professional. I am going to do that for myself. No one else but me.

Baby Steps

I have to start with baby steps. I have to start small and keep going. Starting with my goals:
1) Lose 10 pounds in 4 months, then work on the other 10 pounds.
2) Keep a food journal-write down what I eat and the points, and exercise or not

L makes good sense

Last night I talked to L. She, like me, got pneuomia and asthmatic symptoms too. Her dr told her that if she didn't lose weight then she would wind up in the hospital next time. I know that the same thing goes for me, except, my dr didn't tell me that. So, we are both going to do WW together. Her dr told her to lose 10% of her weight. Her goal is to lose 10 pounds in 4 months. I know that this would be a good, reasonable goal for me too. So, I am going to do it!! I know that J will help me too!

A new season...

Recently H posted on her blog about a new season in life and how God sends us friends for different seasons in our lives. That is so right. I know that God has sent me 2 special ppl recently and I thank Him for that. Right now, I feel a bit hopeful. Hopeful for everything....

I forgot!!

I was invited to host a table at the Annual Christmas Tea!! That right there is enough motivation to start with!!

Metformin and my stomach

I admit it, I haven't had any metformin in a week. My stomach still hurts but, I am getting really frustrated with everything: weight gain, no exercise, not enough sleep, not taking time for myself, getting pneumonia, no clothes to wear....

-I am just so tired of being sick, no money, messy house and whhhaa whhhaaa whhaaa

I am tired of whining so, I am taking it one day at a time--meaning, I am not going to try to do everything at once.

I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.

Secrets of a Former Fat Girl

Is the book I am reading and it is so motivational and really good. So why can't I take the advice????

Counting Calories

A calorie is a calorie whether it's in points, fat grams or whatever. I am going to count calories. I looked up the 1500 calorie diet that the dietician gave me and I am trying my best to follow it today. Even if I do feel like I am starving! I am so sick of being FAT.

I also kept thinking my Endo appt was this week. Well, it's not. It's next week. Why can't I get energy to do something????

I feel so fat and tired and I started yesterday.... so, that doesn't help at all. Well, this is not being productive....it's turned into a pity party. No more blogging today.

Do it for my health & the people who care about me and B

Yesterday, my best friend L really got onto me about not taking care of myself. She is afraid I am going to have a major stroke because the night before, I had a TIA with a migraine. Anyway, she said that I HAVE to get myself and my health in order. She was sweet about it and I am not mad at her at all because she is right about everything that she said. She said she could do it with me and help me but, I had to do it myself. She was so right about everything. So, today was the first day that I am taking care of ME.

I had to do the dr yesterday because of the migraine and he said absolutely NO BIRTH CONTROL because of the hormones. So, I went off the ring. Hopefully, that will also help me with losing weight. Just have to be careful in that area now.

L said that I should sit down and make a list of all the things that I need to do and take them one at a time. So, that is what I am going to do. I am also going to start keeping a food journal again. I have my appt with the endo on Friday. I am actually looking forward to it.

Health Coach

Today, I talked with my health coach. That was a good thing. For the past week, I have not had anything healthy to eat. I ate out every single day and I got so tired of it. She said that I need to start eating healthy and incorporating more fruits and veggies into my diet.

Well, that got me thinking that I really do need to take care of myself and stop "thinking" about it and do it.

So, here are my goals/plans for this week:
-Eat at home and eat normal portion sizes
-Drink my water-I have really been slacking in this area and drinking juice and Coke Zero everyday
-Get plenty of sleep
-Take time for myself

So, that is what I want to do this week. I want to try and get myself back on track because I am worth it. I need to do it for my family and myself.

gotta get back on the wagon

I have been off plan since last Friday and right now, I am feeling that I do not want to count points anymore but, want to try and just eat healthfully. I really need to....

Friday, May 30, 2008

I am sick

I am sick...again. I have a sore throat, stopped up head, and I am tired as everything. My house is soooo messy. I want to get up and do something but, I can't because i feel so exhausted. off to lay down now.

Saturday, May 24, 2008

Wii Fit

This is so awesome!! I did it for 20 minutes last night becasue, it was 1:00am and I was tired. This is the only time I could make to "play" last night. BUT, it was great!!

I love the Hula hoop game. Not really sure about the Yoga though, I didn't feel relaxed at all!!

Friday, May 23, 2008

my fourth day

I feel like I am doing really good. I think this is easier that L is doing this with me. It keeps me motivated. So, tonight, i am going to WATP for at least 1 mile and then do some stretching. Maybe I can get B to go to bed early so, that I can still do my workout, alone.

Wednesday, May 21, 2008

3 days down

3 days down on WW, and I am doing really good! I am really watching what I eat and tonight, I think I will play my Wii for exercise when B goes to bed!! I am excited that I get to actually do something fun. I got my WATP book and DVD today too. Myabe I will walk 1 mile later tonight too. I am trying to get myself all psyched up right now because I need to some serious cleaning tonight too. I hope really hard that B goes to be early tonight. Please, please, please!!!

Starting over with Weight Watchers

I talked to my health coach and she convinced me to start over on WW again. So, today, I have officially started. I am not going to stress over it though. I am just going to do it. I am also going to walk 3 times this week.

Thursday, May 15, 2008

haven't blogged in while

Wow! I haven't been on here in a while.
I started my own bible study that I bought at church. It's all about finding your purpose in life. It's pretty good. I also am not working @ church on weekdays now, except, I am going to help while we are planning for VBS.
I am super sxcited about VBS for B. I think he will like it alot!!

As far as weight loss, I just don't even feel like going there but, I will. I am so tired of starting over for the millionth time every week. So, I have been doing alot of thinking and talking to God lately. He has given me a sense that I can accomplish this. I know I can do all things thru Him. I know He will guide me....

So, I am going to just start eating sensibly. First, I have to define what that means to me (wow, K would be glad of my thinking today, since she is my nutrtionist)!

So, I am going to do some searching.....

I know that first, I need to get moving...meaning-
WALK AWAY THE POUNDS daily. Whether it be, 15 or 20 min. I have to get moving!!

Friday, May 2, 2008

I have decided to do something different

Well, I have been chatting with j and we believe that SB works but, I just need to add in 1 or carbs sometimes. I am going to watch my portion sizes and make halthier choices. So, healthier choices the name of my plan.
-3 meals and 2 snacks a day.
-For snacks choose LC w/ whole wheat crackers, fruit, celery and LC, popcorn (for an evening snack)
-For breakfast choose something off of the list and add 1 pc of toast
-Lunch-salad, low carb sandwiches, veggies and dip
-Dinner-lean meats and veggies

This doesn't seem so hard now that I think about it this way. I just make healthier choices for myself and my family.

Weight loss: 6 strategies for success

Weight loss: 6 strategies for success
Make your weight-loss goals a reality. Follow these proven strategies.

You probably know that hundreds of different fad diets, weight-loss programs and outright scams promise quick and easy weight loss. But the foundation of every successful weight-loss program still remains a healthy diet combined with exercise. You must make permanent changes in your lifestyle and health habits to lose significant weight and keep it off.
How do you make those permanent changes? Follow these six strategies.

1. Make a commitment
Permanent weight loss takes time and effort. It requires focus and a lifelong commitment. Make sure that you're ready to make permanent changes and that you do so for the right reasons.
No one else can make you lose weight. In fact, external pressure — often from people closest to you — may make matters worse. You must undertake diet and exercise changes to please yourself.
As you're planning new weight-related lifestyle changes, try to resolve any other problems in your life. It takes a lot of mental and physical energy to change your habits. So make sure you aren't distracted by other major life issues, such as marital or financial problems. Timing is key to success. Ask yourself if you're ready to take on the challenges of serious weight loss.

2. Get emotional support
Only you can help yourself lose weight by taking responsibility for your own behavior. But that doesn't mean that you have to do everything alone. Seek support when needed from your partner, family and friends.
Pick people who you know want only the best for you and who will encourage you. Ideally, find people who will listen to your concerns and feelings, spend time exercising with you, and share the priority you've placed on developing a healthier lifestyle.

3. Set a realistic goal
When you're considering what to expect from your new eating and exercise plan, be realistic. Healthy weight loss occurs slowly and steadily. Aim to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week. To do this, you need to burn 500 to 1,000 calories more than you consume each day through a low-calorie diet and regular exercise. Losing weight more rapidly means losing water weight or muscle tissue, rather than fat.
Make your goals "process goals," such as exercising regularly, rather than "outcome goals," such as losing 50 pounds. Changing your process — your habits — is the key to weight loss. Make sure that your process goals are realistic, specific and measurable, for example, you'll walk for 30 minutes a day, five days a week.

4. Enjoy healthier foods
Adopting a new eating style that promotes weight loss must include lowering your total calorie intake. But decreasing calories need not mean giving up taste, satisfaction or even ease of meal preparation. One way you can lower your calorie intake is by eating more plant-based foods — fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Strive for variety to help you achieve your goals without giving up taste or nutrition. Cutting back on calories is easier if you focus on limiting fat.
To lose weight, talk to your doctor about setting these daily calorie goals:

Your current weight in pounds Daily calorie goal
Women Men
250 or less 1,200 1,400
251 to 300 1,400 1,600
301 or more 1,600 1,800


Very low calorie diets aren't a healthy long-term strategy. Fewer than 1,200 calories a day for women and 1,400 calories for men aren't generally recommended. If your calories are too low, you run the risk of not getting all of the nutrients you need for good health.

5. Get active, stay active
Dieting alone can help you lose weight. Cutting 250 calories from your daily diet can help you lose about half a pound a week: 3,500 calories equals 1 pound of fat. But add a 30-minute brisk walk four days a week, and you can double your rate of weight loss.
The goal of exercise for weight loss is to burn more calories, although exercise offers many other benefits as well. How many calories you burn depends on the frequency, duration and intensity of your activities. One of the best ways to lose body fat is through steady aerobic exercise — such as walking — for more than 30 minutes most days of the week.
Even though regularly scheduled aerobic exercise is best for losing fat, any extra movement helps burn calories. Lifestyle activities may be easier to fit into your day. Think about ways you can increase your physical activity throughout the day. For example, make several trips up and down stairs instead of using the elevator, or park at the far end of the lot.

6. Change your lifestyle

It's not enough to eat healthy foods and exercise for only a few weeks or even several months. You have to include these behaviors into your life. To do that, you have to change the behaviors that helped make you overweight in the first place. Lifestyle changes start with taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine.

After assessing your personal challenges to weight loss, try working out a strategy to gradually change habits and attitudes that have sabotaged your past efforts. Simply admitting your own challenges won't get you past them entirely. But it helps in planning how you'll deal with them and whether you're going to succeed in losing weight once and for all.
You likely will have an occasional setback. But instead of giving up entirely, simply start fresh the next day. Remember that you're planning to change your life. It won't happen all at once, but stick to your healthy lifestyle and the results will be worth it.

i have had it

i have gotten to the point where i am just totally fed up with being fat and sick and tired. i can't do it anymnore.

I'm tired

I am so tired of writing onthis blog how much I want to lose weight and blah, blah, blah. I might as well just face it and get REALLY fat and live with it. The only problem is, I can't. I look @ B and I feel like I am slowly killing myself and not being for him at all.

I feel like I am not a good mom or wife. I don't spend enough time with my kid or my DH. I don't spend enough time cleaning...correction-I never clean. J does most of it and he works. I have got to get myself in gear. I have got to get motivated and do this for my family and myself.

I can't slowly kill myself and leave B and J and my mom. I have to do something. I am so depressed right now and tired of it all.....I need direction.

I am going to start writing in my jouurnal again and doing devotions. I think I will find myself a bible study book too.

Cravings....

I am craving french fries something awful!! Five Guys Burgers & Fries french fries to be exact. Sigh.....

L invited me to a b-day party Friday night for her DH. I suppose me and the munchkin will go. I am kind of nervous because I really don't want to eat in front of anybody. It's ok when it's just me and her -because, she is my best friend- but, in front of a bunch of people I don't know that well. I am feeling all nervous about it.... I haven't felt this way in a long time.

I hope little man goes to bed early tonight because I am tired.

RESTARTING PHASE 1!!

I fell off the wagon this weekend-BUT I lost 5 pounds. I am restarting Phase 1 TODAY. I picked back up with my journaling and I joined TBL challenge on 3 fat chicks.

GO RED TEAM!!

2nd Day on South Beach-Phase 1

My second day on SB. I did good too. Tonight I am having a cheeseburger salad. I am making J hamburger steak and I am just going to brown some ground beef for me and season it a bit.

Monday, April 21, 2008

First day on SB-Phase 1

Well, I have not had a bad day. I have stayed on the plan except now, I am hungry. I will have a salad when J gets home. I am feeling better about myself. J and I both have done really good today!

1 day almost down-13 to go!

Sunday, April 20, 2008

Ready to start PHASE 1!

I am sooo ready to start Phase 1. I went to walmart and got groceries this afternoon. Tonight I am making a Sausage and cheese vegetable cups for breakfast for myself to eat on this week:

Sausage and Cheese Breakfast cups

These are REALLY good!

4 oz turkey sauage or crumbled turkey bacon
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1/4 onion, chopped
5 large eggs
1 12oz can sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup l/f shredded chedder cheese

preheat oven to 350. Line a muffin pan with baking cups. Cook the sausage, pepper, and onion for 5 min or until sausage is no longer pink. Spoon mixture into a bowl and let cool slightly. Stir in eggs and mushrooms. Divide evenly into muffin cups. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 20 min or until egg is set.



You can also spray the muffin tin and not use the baking papers....but they are better with the papers!
I make them at night about twice a week, they are great to pop in the microwave in the morning!

I am using real sausage though as turkey hurts my stomach and no mushrooms because I don't have any. I hope this is good.

My List For Myself

1) Get the 3 Step Clinique Skin Care Set and use it--DONE!!
2) Make appt @ Clinique to have all makeup redone
3) Do my nails at least once a week (find a really pretty neutral color)
4) Drink enough water until my urine is clear
5) Follow all the South Beach Diet Prinicples
6) Keep A Food Journal
7) Walk at least 20 min a day
8) Take meds everyday
9) Take 15 min for myself a day
10) By one piece of clothing/shoes every month

Plus Sizes

I am so sick of wearing plus sizes and things being ten miles too long. I really am tired of looking sloppy.
I am committing myself to be out of the plus sizes by this winter. I will have my pants and tops tailored. I want to have a clean, simple look. I want to look elegant. I'm just tired of it. I feel like I wear out dated, worn out looking, fifty miles too long clothes.
I am making myself a wish list for when I lose weight of clothes and makeup.

Plus size clothes look so old ladyish. J even agreed with me when we went to JCPenney's to look for clothes. I have resorted to almost wearing jeans with elastic in them but even the pair of them that I ordered didn't fit. I can't be this way for the rest of my life. I won't.

Thursday, April 17, 2008

SOUTH BEACH!!!

I am so psyched for South Beach!! Me and j are going to do it together and we start this Monday!!

I am also looking forward to August because L and I are taking a girls weekend!! I can't wait!! I want to have lost at least 20 or 30 pounds by then so that I can buy some new clothes!!!

I can't wait!!!!

Thursday, April 10, 2008

2nd day journal keeping

Wow! When you right down everything that goes into your mouth, it really makes you think about what you are eating. This is the first step that the nutrtionist wants me to take.

I am doing really good @ journaling and I can already see where part of my problem is: I eat too many carbs and I don't get enough exercise. I need to really walk everyday. I am going to make my mind up and do it. I want to get into my "skinny jeans" except I don't really have any. LOL

I really want to do this. I want to feel better. I want to be there for B. I want to see him grow up and be a great mom.

APRIL 7, 2008-MONDAY PLANS

Well, I am tired of stopping and starting about a million times. I can't do it anymore. So, MONDAY, APRIL 7, 2008 is my day to BEGIN. Begin the new me...for real.

The reason I say for real is because I don't think I have ever felt this bad about myself as I have the last 3 days. I feel fat and sore and like a blob and I am tired of it.

THE NEW ME STARTS TODAY WITH MY ATTITUDE.

I am making my exercise plan and I have gotten myself a cute little notebook to be my fitness journal.

I am going back to meetings tomorrow at 1:00. BUT, this time I am taking slow and easy at it. I am not going to look for a quick fix and I am going to do it. I am going to restart my 30 day challenge also.

Tuesday, March 25, 2008

I'm sick of trying to lose weight. I just want to start doing WW and get this weight off of me. I look so huge! My mom took a picture of me today and OMG! Can you say "Mary Moo Cow"! That's it....I am not going to be like this next summer. I have been feeling so crumby lately and I know it is because I have been eating all the wrong things and not enough sleep and no exercise.

Well, today is Monday and it is Day 1 of my new life. Jesus rose on Easter.....He brings new life, well, mine starts today! I am going to shed all of this weight and start over NEW!!!!

Thursday, March 20, 2008

3/20/08-MY RECOMMITTMENT

This is my recommittment to myself. I am going to do it. I know I can, I HAVE TO. I am tired of being fat. I am tired of being the fat wife, fat friend, fat cousin, fat neice.

I am going to do this. I am not stopping until I reach goal!

I've had a setback for the past few weeks and I am ready --really ready to do it this time. I am doing FLEX because it works for me. I know what to watch and what I need to do. I am going to JUST DO IT!!

My uncle passed away and I just ate and ate and ate EVERYTHING. Right now, I am reading a book by Joyce Meyer. I can't think of the name of it but, it is basically about letting God lead you in your wt loss journey. I will do this because God is not wrong. He gave us this one body and we need to take care of it!

I am going back to WW next Sunday. They are closed this Sunday because of Easter.

Monday, March 10, 2008

Jeans

I had to buy jeans and I am not happy about it. I am not happy at all. I had to buy a 20W. Ummmmmm......that's not a good thing. I feel like a big beached whale. BUT, I know that I have to do soemthing and I will.

I just need to find my focus again because I know I have spiraled down,down, down.

I am going to do this.

Saturday, March 1, 2008

Saturday

I have not accomplished anything today. I need to take a shower but, don't want to have to take B with me. It is soooo nice outside. I think I will ask his grandparents if they will take him outside later today while we are gone.

Me and DH are going on a date. Will be nice, if my stomach cooperates. I haven't had any water today or any meds. I am going to shape up (in more ways than one)!

Friday, February 29, 2008

Friday night--how am I gonna spend it?

Well, when little man goes to bed, I am going to re-read ALL of the FLEX information. I think I will make a recipe sheet also.

I am psyched now! I feel like I am starting this allover again!
(Which in a way I am!)

My Water Bottle DH bought me!!


I love my pink Camelbak!!!

My Journal

Well, J bought me the cutest journal for Christmas. I really love it but, I haven't written in it very much because all I want to do is go to sleep when I go to bed. I am going to start writing in it again and using my WW journal for just that-WW.
WW FLEX: 26 daily + 35 weekly points extra

I think my stomach is telling me I have to. The last few days I have eaten nothing but crap. Nothing but unhealthy, artery clogging junk.

Pizza
doughnuts
candy
chocolate
taco bell
chick fil a
mc donald's
JUNK-just junk. I can't do that anymore. I know that the cholesterol meds won't work like that. I also was out of some of my meds-I need to stop using that as an excuse.

Ok, so tomorrow-or whenever my tummy feels straightened out, I start back. Until then, try to eat as healthy as I can!

To keep myself accountable

To keep myself accountable, I have decided to post my plan here:
My Plan

Start Weight: 199.8
Short Term Goal: LOSE 5 LBS BY APRIL 30th
Long Term Goal: Make it Lifetime- 115-120 lbs

PLAN: FLEX
POINTS: 26 + 35 weekly points extra


EXERCISE: I will workout 3-5 times a week
(Minimum exercise goal: 80 minutes of exercise each week-that’s about 30 min 3 times a week-Earn 1 AP 3-5 times a week)
WATP – Start out at 1 mile 3 times a week
-On off days make sure to do stretches for at least 20 min.



STRATEGY:
I am going to plan my meals and track my points. I will make healthy choices. I have to lose weight for my health. I have to do it for me and no one else.
Keep it to myself and treat myself like a queen because, I deserve it. I will workout 3-5 times a week
(Minimum exercise goal: 80 minutes of exercise each week-that’s about 30min 3 times a week) I am going to use my tracker as a wt loss journal and keep up with everything. I will work the 8 Healthy Guidelines and watch my refined carbs because I KNOW I can do it.
I will get all my recipes together and make a file for the ones I like. I will cook for myself and make healthy dishes for my family.
I will also get a reasonable amount of sleep and take time for myself everyday.

2/29/08

Well, I have updated my blog and I am glad. It looks alot better! This is my new tool for weight loss. I am going to blog here as often as I can. I am going to be totally honest with myself about my weight and what goes in my mouth!

I got part of this from another blog. It totally sums up how I feel!

My motivation is to not be a fat girl anymore, to be able to walk into ANY store and fit in pants or shirts, to not bemoan the fact that the closest Lane Bryant is at the mall b,ut rather have options at the mall at any store, and finally to not have chub rub (oh, a girl can only dream of this!!!).

Thursday, February 28, 2008

2/28/08

Well, I had a stomach bug and it is still lingering. My IBS has reacted real well to it (sarcastically, she says). I am sick all of the time to my stomach. I think I am going to hurl any minute now.

BUT, I have to get back on track. This is for my health. Maybe, I will focus on getting better this weekend and start fresh on Monday. We register for school next week and I want to volunteer in August.

My goal is to lose 15-20 pounds by then! I KNOW I can do this. I just have to put my mind to it and stick with it!

Wednesday, February 27, 2008

2/27/08

Well, I fell off the wagon and I think it ran off without me! I have officially been off plan for 4 days now. That's terrible. However, I am recommitting TODAY.

I WILL lose those 5 pounds by March 14th. I really want to meet my goal. I am going to do it and I am not giving up!

Monday, February 11, 2008

This week

I was up only 0.8 this week. Not bad for TOM. I am glad I am doing WW. My sleep study came back and it said I was recommended for Lapband surgery. There is NO WAY that I am having surgery done! It was so hard to read. It said my BMI was @ 40 and I was "Morbidly Obese". That makes me want to try that much harder!

Saturday, February 9, 2008

January 14, 2008

That was the day I started WW. OFFICIALLY! I have been to my meetings and have lost consitently. Not big losses, but, it's a loss.

I wanted to write this down to get my thoughts together.
I had an off day yesterday and now it is time to get my head back in the game.
Drink my water, count my points. PLAN!! That's what I had not been doing. I will worry about the activity points next week. I know I can do this! I have in the past and I will succeed!! I am determined to make lifetime this time and not give up!!

Wednesday, January 9, 2008

2008

I haven't been blogging much since I got my journal. however, I have decided to outline my plan here. Maybe if i write in TWO places, it will actually sink in that I need to get moving.

Ok--

I want to get my house in order. Right now it is a royal mess. There are toys allover the floor, dishes in the sink, the kitchen floor needs to be swept and mopped.
There are clothes piled up in the living room and i am so tired, I can barely sit here. I am going to get started NOW and do a great job and GET SOME SLEEP (I HOPE)!!

YAY FOR ME!!!

Today, we went to the Opry Mills Mall in Nashville. I walked from one end of the mall to the other and back. I walked an hour--not just walked, I POWERWALKED!!! It was so great. I feel so good! I also ate pretty good too! Maybe when I weigh in (in 2wks--next wk is TOM) I will have lost something!

YAY ME!!

Tonight I walked the Leslie Sansone 1 mile again!!

Leslie Sansone

I am really getting into this walking everynight after dinner. I look forward to it everynight now. Last night, I ordered Leslie Sansone "Walk Slim" 5 DVD System with Firming Band.

I am so excited to get it even though it is on backorder and will probably take awhile. Anyway, I am glad that I am walking. It makes me feel good. I know I am doing something good for myself too!

Last night

Well, I ended up eating a TON of junk last night. I don't know what was wrong with me, I just couldn't stop eating. I think it has soemthing to do with my house. It is so messy, I think it's making me all anxious all of the time. Well, that is going to change starting today!!
