February 12 Time... (Smiley)Where does the time go? I feel like I'm getting absolutely nothing done lately! We're almost halfway thru February and I'm still stuck. I'm doing good on the exercise, up to 20 miles on my workouts. But I just can't get the eating down right. Something comes up and we end up going out or going to someone's house for dinner and I can't figure points. Then I give up and just eat whatever I want. We're so busy with our house and with the weather being nice we worked outside the last three days. That in itself was quite a workout! Talk about exhausted! And wow, am I ever out of shape! I was taking some pain killers last night for my back. Who knew yard work was so hard??? For those of you who don't know, we bought a house in November and the yard is horribly over grown! I will take a picture of the mountain of stuff we cut out and post it. It's amazing that all of it was in our yard, and we're not even done! Anyway, back to the food issue. It's been a huge struggle for me lately. I just can't seem to get back on track and I'm not sure how to go about it. I need more time! I need about two more hours in the day so I can focus on myself and eating right. But until then, I guess I'll just keep trying. February 06 WATP goalHere is where I will keep track of my walking workouts. I update it every day to motivate me for the next day. Seeing that little person moving along the ladder is a great reminder that I'm moving more and working towards my goal. My goal is 50 miles in February, which works out to me doing the 2 mile WATP workout 6 days a week. So far so good! Working out (Smiley)I just got done with my 2 mile WATP workout. I'm feeling pretty good about myself, because I've done it five days this month already, giving me 10 miles. I can already tell the difference. I'm a bit sore today, not sure why, but I still made my way thru the workout. I was very glad when it was over though!  I'm planning on sticking to WW today. I tried yesterday, but my hubby, DD & I went out for lunch at the Italian restaurant. But instead of eating a whole meal, we decided to split one. I had dessert last night, but a small one, so that wasn't too bad. I got on the scale today and am down .4 lb. Not much, but at least the food didn't make me gain yesterday. Tomorrow is my weigh in, so I'm curious how it will turn out. I've noticed the days when my hubby is home are really hard to stick to it. So today he's back to work, so I should be OK. I've been telling myself all morning that I'm going to do it. So we'll see how the day turns out! February 04 Feeling blah (Smiley)OK, here I sit at 11:17 PM feeling sorry for myself. I wake up every morning and tell myself I'm going to stick to my points. And every morning I do. But then something happens, usually a stressful phone call with our home warranty place (don't ever go with First American Home Buyers Protection!!!) Anyway, I start eating bad. I have come to the conclusion I'm a total stress eater. I can't handle the stress. I caught myself today on hold with that company, getting more and more irritated and shoving chocolate in my mouth. How stupid can I be? I'm sitting there the entire time telling myself not to do it, but my hand has a mind of it's own and shoves more in my mouth. I did so great the first two weeks back on WW in January, and the last 3 weeks I can't seem to do anything right. I am working out at home (wishing I had a treadmill or an elliptical) but it's just not helping me get my focus on eating right. I've heard when you start one, the other will fall into place. Well, I wish I could get my food problem in check! My kids closet doors are the double mirrors. I got physically sick  tonight hugging my DD good night (no, it wasn't her - she's too cute). I just happened to turn my head and saw my back end staring at me in the mirror. It is huge! It makes me sick to look in a full length mirror. I haven't done it in so long, I didn't realize how bad it really is. After a month on WW I'm only down 3 lbs. because I keep screwing up. I can't tell you how many times I've done this. I start good, then after a couple weeks, I blow it. I've done WW before and lost 30 lbs. in 9 months. Why can't I do it now? I am at a loss! I don't know what to do to control myself and stick to my points!!!  I'm to that "I want to quit point" but I don't want to at the same time because I know that someday I might actually be able to do it. But right now I'm so frustrated I want to scream!!!WATP (Smiley)I just got done with my Walk Away the Pounds 2 mile workout. That puts me at 6 miles this month so far. I'm not doing too good at sticking to WW right now, but at least I'm getting the exercise part in. I'm going to try my hardest to stick to my points today. I have Bunco tonight, which includes dinner and dessert. So I'm going to find out what she's serving, and figure points before I go. Then I can decide ahead of time if I can have the dessert or not. I did really bad yesterday. We went to a friends house for Super Bowl. Talk about pigging out! I was so full yesterday afternoon I thought I would pop! But today is a new day, so I'm gonna give it 110%. February 02 Weigh in (Smiley)Well, this week was kind of bad for both of us. We both had some stressful things come up and we haven't done so well. Danielle's weight stayed the same and last week I actually gained. I wasn't able to make it to my WW meeting this week, so I don't know what I weigh. I'm guessing it's not good. But I have started working out. I set myself a goal for February to do my Walk Away the Pounds 2 mile video 6 days a week. I've done it both days this month, so I'm off to a good start as far as that goes. I tried starting back on WW yesterday, and I did fine until afternoon, then blew it. Plus we had Family Fun Night at my son's school which involved a meal of pizza, cookie and pop. So it just wasn't a good day. I'm trying to be good today, then tomorrow is Super Bowl, so we'll see. I'm not going to stress about it tomorrow, but Monday I'll get back on track. I know that in life we all have set backs, so I'm trying not to let it discourage me. But it is very frustrating. I wish I had someone here to follow me around all day and ask if I'm making the right decisions. LOL! But until then, I guess I need to learn self control. |
