being accountable to myself....

so I didn't get to put my mile walk in today but I will say I did ok with food.  I had half an English muffin for breakfast (not trying to be all 'noble' just so busy feeding the kids it was all I got around to) lunch was a piece of salmon and dinner was some chicken gnocchi I made with the Philadelphia cream cheese cooking sauce stuff they recently introduced.  I didn't even eat much of that but it really filled me up. Oh wait I also had a little salad with that, so that probably helped.  Right now my head says go snack and my belly is saying WHOOOO no way woman!  (that never happens. lol  
 

Monday weigh in

Not much to say this morning but wanted to post my first weigh in my official weight for today is 256.4.  So I am actually up from where I was but down for where I went, lol.  I will weigh again Friday and hopefully have something good to report!  (oh and between now and then I am going to try to take my measurements.  I have found in the past that this can sometimes be much more encouraging!)

I can say I woke up hungry today which hasn't happened in a while.  I find when I am able to stick to not eating after 7 or 8 then I tend to wake up hungry, so I will take that as I did something right.  So I am off to start my day.  So much to do, so little time.  Good morning all!!!

quick update...

So I haven't posted much on this blog because I haven't had anything to post.  I am holding steady but I guess that isn't as bad as gaining, I would just rather be losing!  

So since I can see spring on the horizon, as I sit myself down to plan my week for my daughter and myself (home school and college schedule!) I will be including a 1 mile walk daily whether I can do it outside (which is my preference) or if I must I can also do it on my wii fit.  I also hope to do at least 30 minutes of working out for fun on the wii fit.  

So there's my plan!  I will update in a week and let you know how it goes!

damned binge eating!

got some exercies in today walking across campus to get my refund check from college BUT then we ended up eating dinner at a hibatchi restaurant and had a whole plate of left overs to bring home...... well sitting home avoiding homework I HAVE to get done.... I ate it ALLLLLL  Big FAIL for today!!!
That is ok though, all I can do is put it behind me and do better tomorrow. 

Oh I have one more goal to add going into next week.  I have GOT to stop eating out so much.  I swear everyday it is something family dinner, meet up with friends, I am hungry....always something!!! 

I WILL DO BETTER!

Day 2

Ok, I know I know, I shouldn't get on the scale everyday but hey my Wii yells at me when I don't!!!  So that said I did weigh myself today and it is all good, I was down just over a pound!  So today's weight was 256.4.  I didn't actually get to 'exercise' but I did take Baby Waffle to Kindermusik and quite frankly that will count!!!  Up down rolling around on the floor (seriously!)

I did have to go to a family dinner tonight at the Olive Garden but I hope that didn't mess me up too much.....

Losing it day one

So I decided to start a seperate thread for my weight loss journey so if you are only interested in the kids you don't have to read all my whining about being so fat!  Here goes....

 I am officially dating today as day one.  As I already posted I weighed in today at 257.7 lbs the MOST I have ever weighed even at 9 months pregnant I wasn't this much.  So my journey begins. 

I did have twizzlers today BUT I got a small work out in and I have not snacked since 8 pm.  (I think I stopped eating sooner than 8 but I know I haven't had anything since then!) 

It is my plan to weigh in once a week at least and post my results here.  I also hope to post daily what I do that day to keep my self accountable.  I have to commit this time, I did so good last year but somehow fell far off the wagon when the weather got cold so I am getting it together.  We plan on camping at the beach a lot this summer and I don't want to be an embarrassment!!!! 
My short term goal is one pound this week, no late snacks and exercise at least three times this week.  My slightly longer goal is to lose 10 pounds when I do I get to treat myself to a spa haircut.  Come on pounds!!!!!
