Slow and steady wins the race

Another successful weigh in. Down 1 pd this week for 7 pds loss. I know I started months ago but seeing it not go back up is a definite plus. I’m still trying to find a gym that works for me but ehh least I’m still trying.

This past week I’ve been honest about how I feel about my job with my boss and have taken some talks and have an interview on Thursday. Chris is done school and starts his career job next week so that buys me more luxury in looking outside my comfort zone job wise.

More later!

Yay!

I just recently joined the rest of the world and finally upgraded to an Iphone.  I think this is going to really help me with my fitness/weight issues as it is just so easy to track with the ww app, so easy to see my progress with the nike+ app (and the many other apps out there)

I feel like I am no longer limited and that is a good feeling!

I think when it is time to renew my ww plan, I might just do online again and save some $$$.  The meetings are great and I’m learning a lot, but really my problem right now is not tracking EVERYTHING.  My work computer is ancient and doesn’t have the right flash to use the website and by the time I get home I have already forgotten.

Anyone have any other fantastic apps they use?

Fo shame

My period forced me into eating a whole box of kd for dinner

Oh so tasty, but now I feel too full and have remorse.  Not worth it!

 

Weigh in day

-1.5 pounds this week!!

I guess I can see how to make this work.  You buy healthy stuff, only keep healthy stuff in the house and don’t sneak any sweets.  I didn’t really work out this week so it was a total diet loss.  After weeks of not really being fully in it to win it, I have gone up and down with these few pounds.  My total loss so far is 5pds and I have another 6.6 to go before my 5% loss. 

Now I just need to find something I like and do it! (Exercise)

Wake up call

This morning I went to my WW meeting and I knew it wasn’t going to be very good.  I stayed at the same weight as the week before (which didn’t sound that bad to me) and the woman shocked me by asking me what I was going to do better the next week.

Gah, someone was on to my half assed attempt! I was on autopilot but not really caring and I didn’t even realize it. I figured the hardest part was getting up and going there if it wasn’t good…not to really think about why?

I replied that I would go to the gym more.  (I really will!) but that wasn’t the good thing about this meeting.  Out of shock I stayed for the entire meeting, and after it, I ran my butt to the market and bought a ton of fresh fruit and veg.  I then came home and washed and chopped it! (Who is this woman??!)

I know I need to make more of an effort, I am in the beginnings of this process, not maintenance. (Duh!)

 

You know you are lazy when….

You have to bribe yourself to work out. 

This evening I went to Aquafit but on the way I bought this as a bit of a huzzah from going.  This could be expensive!!

 

 

 

 

 

Weekend woes

What did I do with my weekend?

I keep wanting to get started.  I have this big elaborate start in my head that I just haven’t done but what am I waiting for? If I want to get outside and try my couch to 5k program, isn’t the only way to start by going outside and just doing it?

You’d think.  Instead I lazed around all weekend doing errands and sleeping and thinking about what I want to do. 

I keep thinking my motivation will just appear, POOF!  But the laying on the couch watching movies and reading fitness blogs win out.  Reading fitness blogs do not equal being fit. 

I did manage to go grocery shopping and stock up on tons of fruit and veg…that counts right?

If anyone is reading this…any suggestions on how to find this elusive motivation? any inspiring blogs?
