11/16/2007 A new Begining.Well i imagine alot of you have wonderd what happend to me? All i can say is life get's busy and boy does technology change!!! ( it has taken me a while to even figure out how i can blog onto my own space... things change don't they?)
Ok well down to the nitty gritty, I'm really not feeling to well to tell the truth.. Probably because like many others that i have known from my WW and weight loss blogs everyone goes thru a rough patch.. as did I and i am so disgusted.. i had lost over 80 lbs as of last January and it slowly has crept back on me, NO NOT ALL OF IT but enough to make me have that feeling of what is the use.
Ok i have gained about 27 lbs back give or take i have been fighting with the same 7 lbs for the last 2 months.
Oh i still go to weigh in at WW (yep i pay 40 dollars for that each month). But it just seems like i havn't been very serious bout it Lately.. Until Now.. I have to get on the ball again.. I have gained not only the weight but the inches.. AUGH!!!
My butt doesn't fit nicely into my columbia coat anymore and well i had to buy a pair of pants for church and had to go up a size that didn't make me feel good at all.
I weight myself on my scale this morning (weigh in day is usually sat..) and it said 232.. yuck!!!
I need to mention that i haven't been walking because i hurt my foot worse. I have planters Faciitis and some time in there since Feb and now i managed to do nerve Damage to the same ankle wich makes it very painful to even stand on my foot (heck i don't even have to do anything and it feels like a pencil is going up my leg thru the bottem of my foot!) so I am still healing from that and then the Dr put me on Steroides to lessen the inflamation, (that was just a welcome to eat anything and everything. and i guess i did uhu?)
Not to mention other stressful things that go on at home.. (who knew a 6 and 8 year old (my own) would keep you so busy!! and then 5 kids (2 1 yr, 1 2 yr, 1 3 yr, and a 4 yr old )under age 5 in my daycare!!!) You would think i would be SKINNY SKINNY!!!
So last night i am laying in bed with my teeth in a splint to keep me from grinding them. A big old uncomfortable Knight Splint on my Left FOOT (it's on the side of the bed next to my hysband under the covers!!!) I have a headach and i am thinking what's hapening here where did i loose controle!!!!
I don't Know but i want it back and i need to GET IT IN GEAR!!
It Just seems as if i don't want to connect with anyone... and i need some support.. HELP!!
I ask for it Here at home byt i seems that it's lageing in my areas of my home and i just don't seem to connect right now at WW meetings.. everyone I knew has already left Ha ha!!!! and moved on...
So this is my new commitment.
On NOVEMER 16, 2007 o stand at 232 lbs and am looking to loose 35 lbs.
A NEW BEGINNING - I hope someone is out there.. cuz i could sure use some encouragement.
12/16/2006 Onderland!!! i did it.Well it may seem like i have totally forgotton about my blog, but actually i havn't. I just have been busy trying to concentrate on life.
And while i was liveing life i was still on my Weight watchers plan, going to meetings, eating good and yep even looseing weight. I am now as of today at 199.4 lbs.. Yep! thats right i am at onderland. And still just takeing it about 5 to 10 lbs at a time. My total loss is really quite remarkable for a little over a year. 81.4 lbs.
I feel really good about it because one of my goales for 2006 was to be in the 190's or better by the end of the year... I did it!!! I really did.
This is a difficult time of year to even think about a diet for most people and even for me sometimes, especially since the kids keep bringing home candy or sweets. But my Motivation is there, (actually they (Jacob and Andy) are here everyday) just cheering me on. The boys know that i need to get my excersise in or mom isn't happy. And we all know that if mama ain't happy.... nobody is happy!
I have made a new challange for myself. I would like to loose another 12 lbs by the 15th of Feb. I think i can do it..
I am now into a size 16 loosely or a 14 and that feels good, it is however a little overwhelming to go shop for clothes or anything though. Why? well, i havn't bought regular sized clothes in about 7 years. And it's not like i can just go out and go shopping on my own. (I mean i usually have some kind of company with me).
Anyhow the goal now is to loose another 12 lbs by mid Feb. follow the WW plan and continue to excersise. That shouldn't be to hard. 12 lbs. will put me at about 187.
gotta go but i will be back.
10/25/2006 be happy be me...Hi, sorry that it's been so long again, it seems like i am just fining it hard to tae time for me again.. And i need to get my priorities in order.
Not that my family is not important but it seems that "If mama aint happy, aint nobody happy" right!!! or so it seems.
I love my family, but it just seems that as the days get shorter and shorter my paitence is worn thinner and thinner faster and faster. And i think that i just need to start shutting myself in my room in the evening and hibernateing. which isn't a good thing. (cuz there is no room to excersise in there, then my back hurts and etc.. then i get even grumpier.. lol)
I am sittindg at 208. lbs right now.. 8 lbs to onderland and it's takeing forever.. and at this rate with holidays comeing up and etc.. it's gonna be a long time before i hit that onderland..
think i may have to try the wendi plan... for a couple weeks and see if i can't get this body jupstarted again.. it seems like i go with big losses and then a small gain and big loss small gain.. it's going down but those little gains are not good for my mind.. they make me feel bad, like i have failed.. and i know in my heart that that is not it is not that way.
I just need to put me first, ( so to speak so i get me feeling better) then everyone is happy, right. 10/9/2006 questionsDo you ever get tired of it? of makeing sure you follow weigh watchers Program? of riminding family or friends that this is imprtant to you? I just wonder if i am alone in feeling this way? of trying to keep that support going. for your self and from your family or do you really do it all alone? Ok it deffinatly has been to long and i think i really need to October
9/3/2006 Sept 1 weigh inhere i go again.. ok now the weekends at the lake a re over finaly.. at WI today i was up .6 lbs at 214.8 lbs
I KNOW EVENTUALLY I WILL BREAK THRU THIS PLATEAU BUT RIGHT NOW IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING.. ARUGGH.. 8/31/2006 been a whileit has been a while since my last post. a month actually and it's kinda discusting I have also been messing around with t he same 2 lbs for the last month, which really doesn't make me very happy.
So it is once again time to get off my butt and get looseing again.. I am at 214.2 right now and it is a thursday I have tomarrow and then i Have Wi on sat again as usuual.. and i have been working pretty hard on following the 8 healthy guidelines as well as eating correctly and staying OP.. Have to go now but will tyr to follow up later..
7/29/2006 Weigh In the end of July 29thI was feeling pretty thin about Tuesday this week but now it's just disapointing.. I am not so much disapointed in my weight loss this week which is -.6 lbs, I can live with that, as i am disapointed in the fact that i just tried to take measurements and i quit... Maybe it has something to do with all the Work outs? or maybe it is The TOM that is causing it.. maybe it's just a bad measurement day and i am not measureing in the same spots.. WHATEVER!!! it's disapointing..
Disapointment or not, i am not going to eat!!! 7/27/2006 makeing people upset..Hotties, i am sorry if i upset anyone.. i didn't mean to. it was not my intention at all to point my little comment ( which turned into a big one) twords any one person.. it was just a comment. because everyone complaines at one time or another about not being able to keep up with what is on the boards.. heavens, i can't even keep up on my own blog let alone keep up on anything else going on.. the only thing i seem to be able to keep up on is My kids, my husband and me, and not always that well either.. lol
I guess i need to just learn to keep my mouth shut, for food and feelings about how i feel to otheres ( that doesn't make sense).
I guess i should have just said.. " Just do what is right for you.. you are the one who count's... everyone else is just there for the support (and god knows we all need the support).
so again i am sorry. 7/26/2006 Work Outs I am going to try to get on each day and log my work outs, the time and what kind.
July 22 nd SAT 4 miles WATP
July 23 rd Sun (none)
July 24th MON (none)
July 25th Tues 120 min of brisk walking ( 5 mile WATP in pm , 4 mile walk in am)
July 26th WED i did 3 miles WATP ( the first 3 miles of the five mile video) 45 min
and i did 40 min of RAMPING WITH GIN MILLER (ramping 1-2-3), total of 85 min, i got 5 ap's
July 27th (none)
July 28th watp walk strong 2miles, and WATP 5 mile and more (did 7 miles) total of 9 miles.
July 29th WATP 2 mile walk and kick, 60 min of ramping with gin miller and leslie. (total 6 miles) 7/25/2006 Walk away the pounds.All this time or since january anyway i have been walking for excersise, not because it's the only thing i want to do but because it is the only thing that i am compfortable doing.
I tried the Transfirmer system and I just cannot handle the 14 in step or the floor stuff.. my knees and hips just cannot handle the impact, and i am very jeleous of those of you who can do it... Man all those inches just melting away.
I know this has been a topic with me many times, i would love to find something else that i could do that is areobic.
Don't get me wrong i love the WATP (walk away the pounds) and am very thankful that i have them ( my Dr. reccomended them) but it's nice to have something different, and i do have things that are different, for instance i have my walkblaster which has developed into part of my regular routine, I don't use it as often with the Leslie Sansone DVD's that came with it (although i do use them) but i like the Gin Miller ones so much more.. and i must have about every Leslie sansone DVD or video that is available but i deffinitly have my favorites, and they are Walk Strong, 1 mile Supercharge, and i now have another new favorite The 5 mile..
The five mile i got from Leslies WATP website for in home walking, and it is awesome.. it has a fast mile or power mile, a mile useing the 2 lb weights , a mile useing the ab belt, a walk and jog mile, and another mile useing the stretchie.. and it seemed impossable that i had done it all in 1 hr 12 min..
YAHOO!! it feels so good.. and on this one i did not get board.. 7/24/2006 Victory or Defeat? favorite president quote."It is not the critic, who counts, or how the strong man stumbled and fell, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotion, and spends himself in a worthy cause; and if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that he'll never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” * Theodore Roosevelt
**this quote has taken on a whole new meaning for me since i have started WW, and don't ask me why he is my favorite President, I don't know why, maybe because he lived in North Dakota at one time and i spent alot of time visiting Medora where he had a cattle ranch as a kid and as an adult... either way, maybe I am just a true Rough Rider at heart!
Weigh in Sat, July 22 i had weigh in on Sat, and i was down 1.6 lbs and hit the 65 lbs lost mark.. Yahoo!!!
I have also done core for the past 3 weeks and although i like it i have found that i am missing particular foods that i have gotten used to on flex that are not core foods unless i count the points. like my bagels, my ww yogurt. etc. and i found myself just guessing at some of the measurements of my food and not weighing it.. which for me is a big no no!!!
not measuring or weighing my food is what got me into this battel, and i am winning it and i am not going back, ever ever, ever.
So if i have 65 lbs gone and ww gole is is at 130, i have 85.8 lbs to go. Whew.. that's still along way, but i guess thats why i ventured into this journey, it's my LIFE CHANGE. 7/17/2006 up againit's one step forward and 2 steps back.. but i think i have it under controle again.. this core thing is hard for me to do.. being that i still have to watch portions as well as count the points for things that are not on the core program but it is deffinatly a learning process..
I had Wi on Sat and was up .4 1bs.. not bad considering that it was my 2nd week on core.. but I wonder if it was water or what? i guess this weeks wheigh in will tell.. right.. i did the same # of Ap's for the week as before.. maybe it's muscel.. oh quite looking for an excuse... you were up.. don't worry about it unless it gets way outa hand and most likely it won't get that way because i won't let it.. I have come way to far to stop now!!!
This weekend i took a much needed break from going to the lake everyweekend.. I still take my own food ( or some of it just because that way i can plan it). Other people just don't get it when you have to plan what to eat or that you even need to eat a small meal because if you don't then you will over eat.)
I ;ove going to the lake but i just wish there was more to do in the heat than to swat bugs.. lol
( the bugs are starting to come out now and i don't care for that)
Anyhow this weekend i stayed home and i enjoyed it. I took a nap which i never do anymore cleaned house ( got rid of the sweet ants finally). I worked out, and I went to a movie, and best of all i figured out the WW core planner.. and i love this tool.. it is awesome.. i just wish i could get it on my Palm pilot. I also ate 3 lbs of cherries this weekend.. between SAT and Monday morning.. Yummmy.. I love them..
My kids were even excited to see me when they got home o Sunday night , telling me about all the swimming they have been doing over the weekend.. I told them that i thought they were growing gills. lol
I earned a total of 18 AP's between Sat and Monday afternoon, tried a 30 min tae bo.. I can do it but i know it won't be anything i do to often.. my bottom really hurts now from all the squatting.. lol (from all my workouts) i feel like i rode on a tiny butt bike seat for along looonnnggg time.. lol
no squats for a while.. i walked i ramped and i toned.. so far for July i am up to ( i think it is up to can't remember exactly) 72 miles.. and i have gotten over 10,000 steps everyday.. another good habit to start. I also worked on my Abs i still am not sure that they are there but i can feel something..
BBL
7/11/2006 things i wanna do..I wanna add music to this site.. I have tried and i just am not that computer savy.. lol
and i want to add some other things to it and well i havn't sucseeded there either..
I wanna learn how to spell.. lol
and i jus t want to clean this place up.. lol
it's late i better go to bed.. and this is what i get for doing ramping at 9 pm at night. GRRR..... SWEAT and flab..Ok no one can tell me that they really LIKE to Sweat, so i figure if i am gonna sweat i am really gonna do it good!!! lol
i mean the sweat rolling off my neck and the hair dripping... Yeah well that is what i am doing if you don't like it don't watch.. in fact i prefer it that way...
My boys didn't appriciate the sweat rolling off my nose.. while i was doing my Wo today.. I did 2 miles with the stretchie band (30 min) and then i did a 45 min ramping DVD that i just got yesterday. which wasn't a really hard workout but it obviously made me sweat. i really don't mind it.. I just wish that those problem spots (you know the ones girls, the tummy that i know will never ever be flat.. and the knees that will always have that second chin in them, and the elbows that ar just peeking out of the flab on your arm. lol) i know that these parts of my body will never be young and supple smooth and attractive on me as those who havn't carried a baby around for what seems like at the time FOREVER!!! my stomach will never be flat without the help of a plastic surgen to remove it.. and well lets face it.. I am to cheap to even think about paying someone to remove it gor me.. lol.
So i guess we will be pals forever....
But it does take good friends to pint out to me that progress is being made...
for example a friend toook my pictures for me my new ones and one from January.. and placed them side by side. and then sent them to me.. Is'nt that great!!! ( really she is a great person, and on her own Journey with the weight battle too.) any how tke a look and give a vote..
i do see a difference .. it's just that darn elbow bulge... lol IT"S Still there!!!
hevier weights I guess.. lol. 7/10/2006 NO ABSok i received my copy of Leslie Sansones shortcuts for ABS and i have NONE!!! i could only do maybe 1/3 of the whole tape..... guess i gotta work on that. lol
other than that i managed to get 5 miles in on SAT, and 2 in on Sunday, and another 3 today as well as doing 60 min of toneing Leggs and upper body and those darn ABS that i don't have. 7/8/2006 Weigh in and corehello everyone.. well I had Wi today and core rocks with my body i guess.. I had a 2.4 weight loss Yahoo.. i am now off to the fair.. have a good weekend 7/7/2006 Did you have a nice independence holiday?I sure hope that you all had a nice holiday, we sure did. we wnt camping at the lake, nothing special but with Gas being almost 3.00 a gal. it's nice to have the option of going someplace that doesn't cost alot when we get there. Actually , it doesn't cost us anything but the gas.... and of course any little extras that we might want to bring. Like say.. fireworks, really it's mostly for the kids... Ha ha those are my husbands words. I guess Boys will be boys right?
The month of July didn't start with any fireworks for me though. Sat morning i went to weigh in as usual, nothing special. In fact My weight was the same and i guess i was pretty satisfied with that. Afterall things have been going pretty good.
However I don't know if i made a good decision on Sat July 1st or not.. I switched from the Weight watchers Point system to CORE! yes, i did. and why you may ask.
it's not that there was anything wrong with the points system for me, i mean it obviously was working... but my body was starting to get very used to a particular way of loseing weight. And it was way to much work to pack all that food that was safer for me point wise ( i mean i could do it but....) just to go camping for a day or 2. and then to explaine about why I brought my own food. Not that anyone cared they admierd me for all the weight i have lost. But it was bothersome because I had to take my own food because my mother in Lawe is nautorious for throwing away food packages and storing her food in different containers,( I mean everything is in a different container that what it came in!) nothing is in it's original wrapper!! if she could find a way to put the ketchup in a different container... she would. So therefor you have no way of knowing how many points you are really eating on some of that stuff. and it bugged me. especialy since i only had 26 points.
So Tomarrow i have WI and we will see how my first week of Core has done to me. Core is hard, first off the hardest part is to remember you need to keep controll of you level of hunger. ( it's not like your points, when your out you are out, and you just stop eating or you find 0 point items to eat.)
I Like to eat so this scale that you would use to figure out your hunger level is hard for me to manage. ( Eating as much as I need to feel satisfied from a core list of foods, without any tracking.) This is considerd part of core along with the Core Plan has 3 Rules:
So tomarrow morning i will post my weight on the first week of core. Other things.. I have posted a few new pics of my kids and family, I saw my dad this week ( first time since the surgury) he looks good, but the boys are saying, "grndpa isn't his old self mom" and i know he isn't and he is still in some pain from the openings and the Oweies ( i call them that to the kids) he got from the the bypass, but he seems pretty posative about it all, they came out to watch Jacobs T ball and took the kids to Mc Donalds one day, as well as had them stay overnight with them at my sisters house where they were house sitting. I guess it all takes time... doesn't it?
Over the 4th while we were at the lake camping Jacob whent fishing for the first time, for REAL FISH!!! and he fished off the point adn he cought 4 fish in less than an hour... Grandpa got Nadda!! Sory Grandpa S. ( this is my in laws) They got to do lots of sparkelers.... lets just say we invited every kid in the campground to do sparkelers.....LOL
Andy, well he was his usual self, he had made friends with a girl at the lake who is 18 yrs old and mentally handicapped, he asked us one day.... " mom, dad, is kelsy a grown up or a kid?" how could we answere it any other way but to say that she is a grown up and the age of a grown up but.. she thinks like a child, and act's like a child. (he doesn't care... he just knows he likes her. and that is great... she plays really well with the little kids.)
He loved laying on the beach, in the warm sand, and swimming only to be 5 again.
I gotta go again and i will post the weight tomarrow for this week .. then it's off to the Fertile Fair.... i'll explaine that one later ok..
