Gloomy Day

Today's Weight: 229
Yesterday's Calories: 1085

Okay, it's a nice sunny warm day out. My head and heart are so gloomy. I had a huge arguement with my husband last night. Okay, I did wrong by not telling him about the slim quick pills. I agreed not to take them anymore. I don't want to give up the diurex though because all it is a water pill to help with bloat. I only take them once a day and they really make me feel better. He doesn't understand and he doesn't try to understand. It's very frustrating. I want him to try to see things from my point of view but he doesn't. It at least seems like he doesn't. I know he loves me and he has himself convinced these are bad for me but he won't listen. I feel as if he doesn't trust me to make my own decisions about my body. I've lost 7 pounds in the last week and I know the diurex is helping. I'm not so sure of the other pills so I'm willing to stop them. I know we'll work things out. I'm just so frustrating. I am trying to stay away from food today because I want to eat everything in sight. In part due to being upset, and part is due to my monthly being due anyday. I will make it through. I would like to lose two more pounds by SUnday. I want to end May at 210. I will take a big walk when my son gets home from school. It's easier to do with him then going by myself.
I would also like to do something special this weekend with just Jason and me. I'm thinking that maybe that is part of our underlying problem. We don't see much of each other with my work schedule and we definetely don't do enough stuff just me and him. Heck, it's rare we ever do anything with just him and me. I doubt anything will happen this weekend due to not having anyone to watch our son. Oh well, it's the thought that counts right? YEah!!!!! I tell you I need to do something productive today and maybe I'll feel better. I'm going to work on the yard. I've already started on the inside of the house. I did dishes and started laundry. I'm picking up the rooms little bit at a time. I hate housework and yardwork. I know I'll survive.

Going Going Down

Today's Weight: 229

I can't believe it. I lost another 2 pounds. I also went below the 230 mark. How cool is that? Things are really happening now. IT's almost to much to believe. I love the momentum I have going now. If I stay true to what I did after the last time I plateaued. I'll be out of the 220's in a couple of weeks. I'm losing about 2 pounds a day. I guess making the small changes that I've made like: counting calories, switching to regular water, walking more, and taking my slimquick pills are helping alot. I'm also taking diurex to help with bloating. I'm due to start my monthly anytime now.
I'm on countdown to vacation. I know last year at 261 the rides at Indiana Beach felt tight. I know this year they'll be comfortable. I'm so excited. A friend of mine wants to go together on a vacation to Cedar Point next year. I was planning on skipping vacation next year but maybe we'll go to celebrate our weight loss victory. I want to be at goal by then. I am working hard towards my goals. I'm not trying I'm doing.

New Way

Yesterday Calorie: 1045
Today's Weight: 231

I'm doing really well now. The momentum that I have is absolutely awesome. My friends are even more awesome because without them I couldn't do this. I don't think they even realize how much their friendship and support mean to me. THere are days I just want to cry because I'm so happy that I have finally found the friends I have. I know we all have the one thing in common and it's weight loss but the bond is going to go beyond that. We are all willing to do what it takes to help the others succeed. It's such an UNSELFISH group that it's unbelievable.
The girls are all very supportive. I wish others would take advantage of what we have started. We are all succeeding. I know we could help others as well. The accountability is there and that is what you need. I could never do this alone. I've proven that. Support is necessary and for the ones who think they can do it alone are setting themselves up for failure. I'm succeeding and it feels great to help others do so as well.

Pure Luck

Okay, I think it was pure luck this morning when I weighed in at 233. I ate out twice yesterday and had a total of 200 calories. I'm also due to start my monthly and feel bloated. I'm definetely not going to argue but it is nice to know that I didn't hurt myself to much. I'm going to eat light today because I may not get my exercise in. I'm having salad all day which is filling so it isn't all that bad. I'm really excited for the challenge and that is great. The online group isn't doing so well and that is a little frustrating but I can't make people get on and post so I'm not going to worry to much. My group at home is doing awesome and we are all sticking together and making this work. I think we have a real chance of winning this challenge. I love my friends. They mean the world to me. I still think I have a chance to reach my goal in June. I'm working hard and staying motivated. I can't believe I'm less then two months away from vacation. It's unbelievable. It's awesome though. I'm really excited. Jakob is excited. It's going to be so much fun. It'll be more fun the more weight I get off.

Cloud Nine

I'm so on cloud nine today. I weighed in at 233 this morning for a 3 pound loss. I'm so pysched to be doing things the right way. I can't believe that I am finally doing it and it feels SO GOOD!!!!!!!! I'm really hoping for 229 by next Sunday. I'm sure I can do it if I set my mind to it. I am going to continue what I've been doing for the last two days and we'll see where it gets me. I went dancing last night and stuck to my plan so I'm pretty happy about that. I just have to stick to my guns because I can't go wrong.

Making the CHanges

Yesterday I did very well. I walked a total of 30 minutes before work and 45 after. The bad news is that hubby has put a halt to the after work walk because of safety reasons. We were walking in a well lit parking lot and there was two of us but he says he would prefer us not to because he got awfully worried last night. Him being worried is not typical so I guess I'll reluctantly respect his wishes on this.I counted my calories yesterday and only had 1290 calories. I was pretty happy with that. I'm trying to be more conscience of what goes in my mouth. I'm looking at labels and everything. I fixed myself a glass of chocolate milk this morning and found that the 16 oz glass was almost 400 calories. I poured it out. I also had an english muffin with apple butter for 190 calories. I figured the milk to be about 150 for what I had. It was more than I wanted but for the meal. It's probably going to be a learning process for the week. I'm really on top of the world and am anxious to get the challenge at the Y started. My friends seem to be just as excited. A friend of mine and I collaborated and brought supper to work last night. I brought the parmesan chicken I made for lunch yesterday and it was absolutely delicious and she brought salad. I preportioned the chicken into 4 oz servings and we filled up on the salad which had hardly any calories. I'm really trying to eat my veggies and stay on the up and up. I'm also hoping for a huge loss this coming week but my monthly is due and that sucks. Oh well, it should be over by the weigh in for the challenge.

Yippee

I'm just really excited and motivated right now. I made good choices at Pizza Hut today. I'm real excited about our weight loss competition coming up. It'll be great even if we don't win because we'll all be losers in the long run. Weight loss losers. WHo would have ever thought that we would want to be called losers....LOL!!!!!! The feeling from doing things right is awesome. I need to remember that when things aren't going so right.

Emotional High

OKay, I'm doing really good so far this week. I am a very happy camper. I've had the problem of either getting the exercise right or the food right, this week I"m trying for both. I had a minor glitch yesterday with Taco Bell but it was hubby's birthday. I'm going out for lunch tomorrow with a friend but we're going to make a healthy decision on where because we're both trying to lose weight so it'll be easier. I'm revolving everything around my walks. I'm making them my priority. When I walk, I lose weight even if my food isn't 100% right. I know I can make the right choices so I'm going to do it.
Well, I'm off for my walk.

Happy Dance

I'm doing the happy dance this morning. I weighed in at 235 for my official weigh in. I'm so happy. I will beam the rest of the day. It is so motivating to see the scales move once again. I almost still have a hard time believing it. I am going to work on losing at least 3 pounds this week. In order to reach my goal by vacation, I have to lose 3.1 pounds per week according to fitday. I'm going to work hard on doing that. I know I can do it. It is very doable. I have two challenges starting tomorrow. I'm keeping my goals the same for both so it should be pretty easy. I'm real happy that the scales started moving again. Hopefully, they'll continue that way.
WEll, I'm off for my walk.
