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.

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!!!).

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!

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!

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!

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!!
