Starting over...Its never too late Right?

I am commited to never give up! Excercised 2 out of the last 3 days!

Continuing on my weight loss adventure

One thing I have learned is to keep trying no matter what. You might walk 3 steps forward and 2 steps back but you still have that 1 step you are walking forward..Right?  So I have lost 20 lbs so far and walk 2.25 miles in 45 min 3 times a week. I am counting calories on myfitnesspal.com with Ted and my siblings. Ted has lost 26.5 lbs and looks great! I am so proud of him! He walks 5 miles when he excercises..He is my inspiration right now.

I will not stop Dont even try to Stop me from Excercising!

So I went out to eat with my friend Terressa and come home around 7pm. Relaxing talking to Ted and watching the Biggest Loser. Here comes Chad "Your not planning on walking tonight are you mom?" I said "yes" He said "Well I am walking right now." (He walks for 90  min normally.) I thought to myself you do not control me and I went and walked around the block for 30 minutes from 7:30-8:08pm and went up hill for half of it. Yes I am determined to keep my goal of walking every day if I have to go outside to do it...LOL  I have lost 10.6 lbs and been walking for about a month now. Very proud of myself and want to get this weight off!!  Have a great Day!

I joined Weight Watchers today!

I joined WW today and I am so excited to loose weight..More to come!

I am not giving up!

I am not giving up! I am going to fight this food addiction until the day I die!! I have not been doing well and saw I was not going to make my 30 lb goal before I go to NC and kinda gave up all the way. It is so much easier to not care. But my health is at risk with my diabetes and I have no energy. Eating bad really affects my overall feelings about life because I dont feel good. I bet the Devil laughs each donut I eat or each cookie I devour or each piece of cake I endulge..because I am not taking care of myself.  Today I am starting over. Seems like a good to do that since I have a fighting spirit today! I will reach my weight loss goal. I want to loose 100 lbs. I want to weight 140lbs and I will eventually get there. But I have to fight against the natural tendices to want sweets and not excercise.

So today so far I got up and walked 20 minutes on the treadmill before going to work and I passed up on donuts, cookies and cinnamon buns Nancy brought in today for a treat. So Fight I will!!

Excercise Yeah!

Monday I got up and Exercised 1.1 mi in 25 min! 
Today I exercised 1.26 mi in 30 min Yippee!
I have eaten well today and feel real good.
I went to the Dr Monday and as always he says
I need to LOOSE WEIGHT..So here I go~ I made
a chart to have 100 lbs lost one year from now!
Just 2 lbs a week!!

Saturday

I got up and walked Friday Morning. 1 mi 25 min. My goal is to work up to 5K 3.1 Milies. Wish me luck.
No sweets Friday. Ted and I did share a lemon concrete from Nielsons Frozen Custard. It was delish!!

Excercise Day Three

I got up at 5:35 and walked on the treadmill for 25 min another mile. I am super tired tonight. I will definitely go to sleep early.. Gotta get up and do it again tomorrow morning! I feel so much better when I walk. No Sweets yesterday and today! Yippee!  Til Tomorrow... Is anyone even reading this? No comments means no I guess.. Whatever I need to do this for myself. Not anyone else.. Night Night.

Day two Walk June 12 2011

Got up at 5:30 am again and this time walked 1 mile in 25 min! Whew Hew!

Giving myself a break today...Chad came over last night and I went to sleep later than the norm. So fun to see Chad! Look forward to seeing Brock & Katie, Kyson and Chad again Sunday!!

Focus This Week Excercise!

I got up and excercized this morning at 5:30am! Walked 3/4 of a mile in 20 min.. It gives me energy throughout the day! Going to bed early so I can get up and do it again tomorrow!

I did it!

I did it! I went a week with no sweets! It was really hard but I need to keep it up. Gotta work on excercise though. Been staying up to late to get up early the next day to excercise before work and real tired after work...One thing at a time right? This next week I will work on excercising! Mornings are best for me! Well our scales broke so we have to buy some more today when we go shopping. We have had those scales a long time and Ted put in a new battery and they still wouldnt work. Have a good weekend. I am...

What a Day!

What a day. Where is the sugar? I can tell I havent had any because I got upset real easy today. Sad but true..Why does changing your eating habits cause these withdrawals? How long does it take for your body to adjust to no sugar? Anyways eating was a good day...Still need to excercise...

I am so Proud of myself!

I am so proud of myself...You'll never guess what happened... I passed up a Krispy Kreme Donut at work! Can you believe it? I love Krispy Kreme Donuts especially in the mornings when they are fresh! Nancy on our team lives close to Krispy Kreme in Layton and occasionally brings a dozen to share with the team. Wow I went over to the box looked at them and shut the lid...Ted says if I can say no to that, I can say no to anything...Gotta keep it up!

I stayed within my calorie goal again today. Need to exercise tomorrow!

PS. Gotta say my favorite are the ones with the whip creme in the middle and chocolate on top! Chocolate Iced Kreme Filled is what it is called... or Glazed Hot..Ok I am going to gain a lb just talking about it..

Time to get serious June 29th

OK So I have been eating out a lot lately and you know what that means...Calories add up fast! Friday Night Ted and I ordered a Pizza from Little Caesars. Saturday I ate at my favorite Restaurant China Platter. Monday was Teds BD we ate at Red Lobster..Did you know 1 serving of there coconut shrimp is 940 calories for 8 Shrimp! Yea and those cheddar biscuits 150 calories each! Whew next time I will plan before I order!  Tuesday night I went out with some friends from JCPenney to Olive Garden my Seafood Alfredo was 1020 Calories..Crazy how fast it adds up.. So tonight I went out with Tracie and her daughter Katie to El Matador and was better I had the Taco Salad.. I was actually under my calories goal of 1880 calories.

I lost Weight!!

YeePee! I lost 2lbs since last Monday! I weigh 237.9! I have been trying to make better choices  and it pays off! Yesterday we went to Joe & Carries baby blessing for Zoe. I ate 1/2 a sub sandwhich and passed up the dessert which was cake (which I Love) and cookies. Gotta keep it up! My goal this week is no sweets, Sweets are my weakness along with no excercise. Going to walk on the treadmill too this week! Wish me luck! (Saturday July 2nd went to Texas Roadhouse with Anne, Vic, Shirley and Ted to celebrate Teds BD I ate 1/2 the Pulled BBQ serving...)

Day Two

Today has been an interesting day. I stayed up late blogging and got up early to walk on the treadmill then went to work and felt achy from not sleeping enough so left work early and took a long nap. Feel better but definitely going to sleep early tonight. I was just so excited to walk again. The mornings are the best to exercise for me but my body needs its 8 hours sleep too so now I know... Stayed under my calorie target again today. Whew Hew!! I am going to NC in September over Labor day and would like to be around 215lbs or less. 10 more weeks to go we shall see.
My weaknesses have been sweets and not exercising. I have to conquer my weaknesses to be strong!


Side note wish Jazz had gotten a chance to pick Jimmer before Sacramento Kings drafted him. It will be fun to watch him play in the NBA.. Go Jimmer!!

Day Two Excercise

Woke up early again and walked a mile! This is great! Have a nice day!
