Weigh loss VS Inch Loss?

2009-03-27T06:43:00.000-07:00

I prefer inches but it sure is great to see the numbers go down.

As I am finally exercising I am curious to know what happens. Will my weight loss stop or will continue as I loose inches?

I have a cold. I am trying to exercise even tho I don't feel well.

Bootcamp?! What Bootcamp?!

2009-03-24T17:46:00.000-07:00

So I did not start it when I said I would but I did start today.

It was hard for I had a storm of little hands and feet grabbing me and pulling me and tugging on me. They asked for things they could get themselves. I keep moving, I did not let this stop me from achieving my goal of at least 30 minutes of exercise. Would I make it? or would the little hands and feet win by distracting me?......... I fought and fought and it was long and hard and at the end of 30 minutes......I had finished my work out!!

Tomorrow the goal is to exercise in the morning when the little hands and feet are in school.

Day one down- 9 more to go. I am doing a 10 day BC.

I barely exercised but I did cut on the food.

14 days: My Beau and I (really his name is Beau) have a thing going next time he sees me (14 days) I will have a smaller stomach and he is supposed to be cutting on his smoking and drinking. Food addiction vs Alcohol and Cigarette addiction; who will win? I say me!

So far this morning when I calculated the calories. It came up to a little over 1,000 cals. I am very excited to see the results. THe menu calls for:
Brkfst & Lunch-- 2- toasts with tuna salad
Dinner- Turkey chilly, 1 spoon of lite sour cream and a small hand full of shredded cheddar cheese.
Exercise- half hour of TTapp
Weight- 195
arms- 15 .5
bust- 43.5
waist-39.25
hips- 42.25
thighs-26
Calves- 17.5

ONE WEEK TOTAL:
Arms -0
Bust -2
Waist -0
Hips +.25
Thighs -.25
Calves -.25
Weight - 3

Ok.

2009-01-06T05:35:00.000-08:00

Mind set- Check! (I think.... I hope)

I guess these next few days are like detox since I have not had self control when eating lately. So am ready to get lots of headaches and fight with my self when wanting something not healthy or out of schedule.

The goal as of next Monday is to loose 4-5 lbs per week. The big goal is to remove 73 lbs. The first big goal is 48lbs.

I also have a lot of stress in my life right now which does not help but I will be taking it one meal at a time.

Wish me luck!!

Bad, BAD

2009-01-04T16:15:00.000-08:00

Not good at all, have not kept the plan up nor have I gotten on the scale.

TBC

Starting Over

2008-12-18T09:25:00.000-08:00

So far so good. Fasting is going great! Just had some juice, it is allowed.
Still have to exercise.

Bad Bad Bad

2008-12-17T18:22:00.001-08:00

Not a good week. I have not lost anything. I have not exercised in the past few days. I have not gained anything which is great but am not proud of myself.

I shall re-start tomorrow with detox tomorrow.

Not Well

2008-12-15T09:46:00.000-08:00

I am starting over tomorrow. I did mindless eating yesterday. I am feeling anxious. I am planning on fasting for 24 hours starting tonight. I have not exercised in the past 2 days.

Off to a Rocky Start or May be NOT

2008-12-13T11:01:00.000-08:00

Did well in the morning- 2 egg whites with cilantro, spinach, onions, tomatoes and even lunch - baked potato and water, then I went to spend the night at a friend's house and pizza(no sauce) was served. I had 2 slices and took the meat off.

I did drink water lots of it and I exercised!

Once upon a time....

2008-12-11T14:34:00.000-08:00

There was a 7 yr old girl named Dahlia who started to gain weight, at the age of 11 her Pediatrician told her parents she had to loose weight. 12 yrs old her mother takes her to a weight loss clinic but they are moving to Florida and there is not a clinic there so they leave. 13 yrs old the mother begins the diet roller coaster that would send this child into a constant dieting until today. The mother would enlist family, friends and anyone she could to "motivate"this girl to loose the weight, the very common-you have such a pretty face talk was constant in this girl's life. At 13 her weight was 145 at 17 was 160. This girl was very aware of her body, her mother's constant nagging of being embarrassed was not help to this girl. At one point the mother right infront of the girl raised her hands to the heavens and asked God why did he give her a skinny daughter. At 21 yrs old the girl got married; she weighed 175 lbs. Shortly after getting married the girl began to hear the husband nag the same her mom did. She would run to the fitness center just to get away from him and for 2 or more hours she would walk on one of the machines at the center. She got down to 135 lbs. She did not see how skinny she had gotten, her husband still nagged her about being a pig. The now woman lost a baby and in the depression stopped going to the center and gained 30 lbs in a few short months. She was never to recover from that weight gain for next 11 yrs she has struggled with her weight loosing a little bit and gaining that and more. At 32 yrs old she had gone up to 218 lbs the biggest ever and size 18. In the last year Dahlia has lost 23 lbs but not without gaining some and loosing some. In July Dahlia lost 14 lbs and quickly gained it..... The End? NO WAY!!!

The party starts now!!! Tomorrow morning I will get back on my eating healthy (NO DIET) and exercise horse.

By this time in the weight loss game I know what works for me. Exercise is #1 in my world followed closely by healthy eating.
