Hello all! I'm going to give this another shot. I am so tired of struggling with my weight. I need to conquer this once and for all. I did well on Fat Secret in the past, which is why I'm back. I need to lose about 80 pounds. I don't care how fast or slow it comes off. I just need it gone. My boyfriend and I took a Mother's Day trip to visit family. There were a lot of pictures taken. Those pictures were posted on FB, and of course I was tagged... my double chin, chubby cheeks, and flabby arms stole the show. I'm just sick of it. I haven't been exercising because I took a house cleaning job over a year ago, and I dropped about 25 pounds within about 3 months. The job is exhausting, so all I want to do when I get home is take a shower and eat. Because I was losing weight without trying, I ate whatever I wanted, and convinced myself that my job was enough exercise. Of course the weight loss plateaued. So, I've been stuck at about 230 pounds for months. I still have a lot of work to do. My plan is to take a 3 mile walk 3 times a week after work or on the weekends. I will cut out a lot of the sugar and carbs, and start packing a lunch more often instead of eating out. So, here we go again. I have faith.

Day 2! I'm still here! Consistency is my issue, so one day at a time, one step at a time, just keep going... This is how I have to think all the time, every day. Today, Chris and I walked to the store to turn in our redbox movies... really just to exercise because we passed several red boxes on the way. It was nice and cool out which made it more enjoyable than the walks we took during the summer. They were brutal. It was easy going because it was mostly downhill, but you know what that means... coming home kind of kicked my butt (up a steep hill), but I was a trooper. Chris asked me if I wanted to take a short cut toward the end and I refused. I actually look forward to the feeling of pride when I complete a workout. The worst part is that I live on the 3rd floor, and we were entering from the back of the building, which means we started at the garden level... 5 flights of stairs. That sucks after walking mostly uphill for an hour. Anyway, it's done and I'm happy.
So far, I've have my frosted mini spooners and coffee. Time to start my day and be productive.
A little note about yesterday, my first day back... I think I did okay except for the 3 Apple Ales I had lol (oops) but that almost never happens. They were delicious but that won't become a habit.

I hope everyone has a great day. I want to read all the journals and news, but no time now. Hopefully when things slow down for me, I can check in with everyone.:)

Hi everyone. My last entry was in June, 2013. I guess I can say that I pretty much quit. I was in a good place, and then I wasn't anymore, and my lifestyle went back to what made me fat in the first place. I went to the doctor yesterday, and I had to step on the scale. I couldn't even look away. He sits at his desk and I have to tell him the number. 240. (he said subtract 10, but I'm subtracting 5 bc my clothes were not heavy) Wow! My last weigh in here was in May 2013, 215, so close to 200, my first big milestone. Now look what I've done.

Today will be day one of getting real and starting over. Just so happens that Aunt Flow decided to pay me a visit this morning, and I have cramps from hell. Chris (the sig other), has this... Just do it attitude "If you really want it, you'll do it" "Other women have the same responsibilities and they do it" "You just have to say Fuck it and make it happen". So, everything that comes out of my mouth sounds like a pathetic excuse. He is currently sitting here in his workout clothes and gym shoes pretending he's not waiting for me to get off my fat ass and get ready for the gym. I will. I will go to the gym this morning, cramps, bad attitude and all.

I will write more about what's going on at another time, but let's just say that my main challenge is trying to fit everything into my day. I feel like nothing gets done unless I do it. That's probably not true, but it's how I feel. I usually try to get an early start, like grocery shopping at 7am, something in the crockpot or at least thaw out some meat by 9am, all my errands, phone calls, cleaning, laundry, appointments for me and my daughter (we have plenty). And I'm on meds that don't always leave me feeling well. So, yes I have excuses. I have to find strength that I don't even know exists and make it happen.

Here we go again. I have been trying to get to a healthy weight since I had my daughter who just turned 17. I will be 40 in March. I DO NOT want to be fat at 40. I don't even know if I still have buddies on this site. I certainly hope so, because I need support.

Thanks
