Weight Loss Wednesday - So What, I Forgot.

I did really well on my diet up until two days ago when I totally blew it. I was having a rough day and just didn’t have it in me. I totally lost focus of my goal and literally just said screw it. And I’ve been feeling down on myself ever since. And besides I think I have a love / hate relationship with my scale. I get so irritated and frustrated and disappointed when I don’t see much movement in numbers. The downward spiral if I must say. And yeah, doesn’t help much that I haven’t worked out at all. I try to remain positive with my chin up in the air, but sometimes it just doesn’t seem worth it. Anyway, since I’m totally being a grump, and because I don’t have anything good to say, I will make this quick. And besides, what am I griping about anyway; there wasn’t a change from last week to this week as it was. My statistics as of (3/28) are as follows: Previous Weight = 163lbs Current Weight = 163 lbs GOAL = 130 lbs Weight to lose = 33 lbs Good lord. I need to quit whining and lose some more weight! Till next week……

It's Yet Again, Weight Loss Wednesday

First of all, I just wanted to say that I found a new drink that is quickly becoming my favorite – So Be Lean Drinks. Really, they are good. You should try one. Secondly, I have made up my mind that starting on Monday, March 26 that I am going to do my Pilates 20 minute workout at home on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and then hit the gym at my work on Tuesday and Thursdays for some good cardio workouts and weights. Hopefully this schedule works for me with my already busy day. Fingers crossed. So onto what it is that I’m posting for. It’s Weight Loss Wednesday. My statistics as of (3/21) are as follows: Previous Weight = 165 lbs Current Weight = 163 lbs GOAL = 130 lbs Weight to lose = 33 lbs So after a week and a half of sticking to my diet, I managed to lose two pounds. I could have just calculated three pounds instead of two really because my scale kept flip flopping back and forth between 163 and 162, but I settled with 163 in hopes of maybe losing a total of four pounds next week. It’s nice to dream, isn’t it? And now I’m off to vacuum and sweep the floors. It’s the only form of exercise I’m getting right now, well besides chasing after the kids and going upstairs and back downstairs just to find my self back upstairs because I forgot what it was that I was there for in the first place.

Weight Loss Wednesday

So I stepped on the scale this morning and weighed exactly the same amount that I weighed last week. Total bummer. Last week I was totally frustrated and not motivated to even say the word diet let alone think about being on a diet. And then over the weekend I threw caution to the wind and ate anything and everything I wanted to and come Monday I was feeling like a big fat cow. It’s amazing how bloated and down right crappy you feel when you go from eating great to eating poorly. Totally amazing. So anyway, I vowed to myself again for the umpteenth time on Monday that I was going to get back on track! And diet! And lose the last, oh how many ever pounds I would like to lose to be at my goal. And that’s what I did. I’ve eaten well all week. I’ve drank tons of water each day. And I do feel better, but I haven’t lost a bit of weight. Now that’s encouraging. My statistics as of (3/14) are as follows: Previous Weight = 165 lbs Current Weight = 165 lbs GOAL = 130 lbs Weight to lose = 35 lbs So. I’ll take this little set back and tuck it into my back pocket, and move on. And even though I thought for sure that I’d see at least a pound difference, it just wasn’t in the cards this week. Till next time.

Weight Loss Wednesday – A Few Editions Behind

Somehow last week came and went, and crap, maybe even the week before that as I can’t remember when I updated last. And there’s a reason. Uh, diet? What diet? I have been on the diet and off the diet, and back on and off again ohhhh, for weeks now. But lately I just can’t seem to focus. I even started working out regularly and well, about a week into it something came up and interrupted the regularly scheduled program and well, there went that. I haven’t been able to get back on track since. I think my problem is that I’ve been following South Beach for so long now that I’m bored. And I want to reach my goal, but because of the monotony, I slip up and start eating off plan and then I get down and feel horrible and disappointed in myself. So what do I do? I eat. And that’s the second part of the problem. “Hi, my name is SJ and I’m an emotional eater.” Happy? Let’s have pie. Sad? How about some Oreo’s. Angry? Ice Cream anyone? Oh, how I love some ice cream.

Work lately although busy, has turned quite boring and I find myself during the day wanting to munch on something. I try to go for some almonds, or pistachios, but again, I’m bored. All I want to do is eat. Hello emotional? Please, leave me alone? Okay, thanks. Ugh, it’s a vicious cycle. I’m getting tired just thinking about it. And with that, I bring you my stats. Please don’t cringe…..I mean I did when I stepped on the scale this morning. My statistics as of (3/7) are as follows: Previous Weight = 157 lbs Current Weight = 165 lbs GOAL = 130 lbs Weight to lose = 35 lbs I’m really trying hard, I am. And I know I’m being hard on myself, but I have to be. Someone has to be. Better luck next week…..
