27 December 2013
DECEMBER 26, 2013: I had an angry workout today. I was seriously pissed off! Pretty much worked out all my FU's though through my work out, and it calmed me down so that's good. :) But what got me soo upset was it seems that every freaking time I start up a healthy routine, something challenges me - some family emergency, some work emergency, just SOMETHING to try and pull me away and drain me. Even my husband was getting paranoid saying if I start working out, something bad is going to happen (half-kidding as we are not so narcissistic as to think the the universe will just collapse because lil' ol me is back on a health kick, but it sure is weird sometimes).
Well today, as I tied up my workout shoes and started the workout video, the phone rang, and like clockwork, it was about a health emergency which immediately cut my vacation short, and now I have to figure out how to balance this new problem and my work. Filled with sadness and anger, I decided not to let this defeat me. I told myself, the universe can just suck it and go to hell. I HAVE to take care of myself. The last five years have been about me taking care of others, and spreading myself too thin. Not anymore. I will have to let some things fall through the cracks, but not my health. Not anymore. So I shed a few tears as I did push-ups and I punched extra hard with my air punches, and jumped a little higher during the aerobic portion. Basically looked like a chubby maniac that had no problem reaching her target heart rate today during the routine.
Tomorrow will be a bit more challenging but I WILL find a way to workout, I WILL push crappy kharma out my way and do it.
BTW: Fatsecret UI is the best, but when when when are they going to get synced up with calorie burning data devices like bodymediaFIT (AKA: Bodybugg)

Starting again! And all my neighbors dropped off holiday candy and cookies. I have to get rid of it. It's like drugs for me. I'm the heaviest I've EVER been. 231 pounds! I'm very uncomfortable in my own skin right now. Both physically and mentally. It's hard to be motivated when so much has to be done, no immediate gratification - it's going to be a long gradual road. But it has to be done. I can't take living like this with all of this fat hindering me. I feel like it is going to suffocate me because I gain it everywhere - even my fingers! It's getting harder to breath, harder to bend.
A few weeks ago, I got my blood test back and my blood counts are back to normal. (had some health issues causing this) But FINALLY! It's been years! I am officially no longer anemic! The test showed I was on the bottom edge of normal, but I expect that will continue to get better now that the source of my medical issues has been taken care of and I am completely healed from surgery. My energy is up (been anemic for so long, I forgot what it's like to actually have a bit more energy even when I am the heaviest I've ever been) Now I really have zero excuses. Life is the best it's been in five years, and now the only thing keeping me from being healthy is me. Now that I have my life back, it's time to get my body back. I now have the bodymedia link (bodybugg) so I will be recording my calories at the end of the day with the results. Not sure how I will do the meals. I will have to choose between bodymedia or FS. Wish FS would sync with it. I tried sparkpeople (TOO many ads!!) and a couple other affiliate sync programs, but nothing compares to FS (and it has improved since I was here before even).
So I'm back to do this again. Better again, then never again!

Had some health issues and went thru surgery to take care of it. Still have a few weeks more to recover and a couple of months to get my anemia squashed. Its been a rollercoaster ride these last few years but hopefully it is mostly now behind me. Hubby is now taking better care of himself too and lost and 10 lbs so we can finally be a team and get healthy together and help motivate and encourage each other.

well...starting again. its been my 3rd or 4th start but at least I didnt gain back every pound I lost. It just seems when i lose 20 pounds something nutty happens in my life and I default to old bad behaviors in reaction to it and falling off the healthy food wagon can undo it all in just a few days. It takes me about two weeks to get cravings under control and thats the hardest part...and it can take three days of consistent horrible food to make me have to start all over again with crave curbing misery...so then I dont start over...for a long time. So now that I definitely have this stupid behavior pattern down, I need to not just recognize it but figure out a way to change it. Easy just to say dont do it, but I need to plan ahead because life has downs, life gets chaotic, life gets nutty busy...thats life and I cant let that sabatoge my health routine. So I need to be aware and be armed mentally, as well as have food solutions to deal with times when i dont have the energy or the time to cook.
