Beautiful crisp clear Saturday morning here in NH. It is 8:35 am, and I am going for a 5 mile walk. I just had my breakfast, and am not hungry. I am totally thrilled about the weight loss thus far, and it has really motivated me. I am watching and counting the calories of every single thng I eat. Planning meals has been a huge help to me. I leave my house every morning at 6:45, and I take with me- 2 egs whites and 1 piece of toast and my coffee. It is not easy getting up and cooking, but I know that it HAS TO BE DONE, and I know that it will keep me on track for the day. As soon as I get to work, I start logging. I work near a food coop and they have good salads and yogurts and fresh meat- so I plan on WALKING to the co-op to purchase my yogurt and meat and water.
I have not snacked at all in between meals, and if I feel the need to... I grab 2 celery sticks or half a cup of cucumbers.
I am trying to keep my carbs below 50g per day and so far, it is working for me. I walk at least 4 miles three times a week. I am exhausted in the evening when I get home and have 2 kids to take care, but I know that it has to be done, & I must remain vigilant & disciplined. I got myself here, and I have to pull myself out.
I try very hard not to get on the scale ...every 4-5 days does it.
I do not want to become obsessed with half pounds and ounces etc.. & I could easily be that person.

In no way has this been easy, especially when my kids are having their chips or oreo cookies.. I literally leave the room or find a chore that has been calling my name. For me.. it is critical that I just get up and find something else to do.

I have been going to bed at 9 pm every single night.. and getting up at 5. * eight-- need it and sometimes I now wake up early..before the alarm clock!! whoo hoo!!
OK have a great day to all out there. Stay motivated, make healthy and wise choices, be kind to yourself and remember today is a new day.. we can always start over and do right even if we had a slip up the day before.

Good luck to everyone.. the battle and challenge for today has begun. One day at a time..

Chris

I am disappointed in myself today, not with regards to the amount of food or what I ate, but how I chose to take care of myself. Once again, I put everyone & everything ahead of what I needed & I did ot at or drink anything until 3: 45 in the afternoon. I was not hungry.. I was busy all day.. I was stressed all day. I was working even when I told my boss I was taking the afternoon off 2 take care of personal things. Those personal things being.. walking, dentist, buying healthy food etc. I am sure that it is not easy for anyone 2 stop & look in the mirror & have 2 point out the faults & issues that we need 2 deal with.
I have a huge problem with just stopping!! ..I don’t. I am a go go go.. high adrenalin non stop peson. But, I never stop 2 take care of me. Whether it is the dentist, or the Dr.. or eating right; I am always taking care of kids, & house, & home, bills, work, car, schedules, lessons, meetings..ugh!! There is only one me, & I have 2 stop, & I have 2 make the time 2 slow down & eat properly, chew my food, stop inhaling it, & enjoy it. I have 2 make the time 2 eat breakfast lunch & dinner or I am going 2 find myself in the fast food line at McDonald's again, & I swear I never ever want 2 go back there again.
I need 2 lose weight, I want 2 lose weight, my body is screaming for this.. I just have 2 get my mind, body & spirit on the right track. It would help if I could get my ass out there too:) Tomorrow is a new day. I am going to make an effort to get up and eat properly, take my vitamins and start drinking water early. I will count my calories very carefully and get ready to work out like a monster his weekend. My goal for the next week is to lose 4 more pounds. I know that I can do this. I just have to kick into high gear and STOP… and take care of ME.
