I found out today that a healthy waist circumference should be half of your height in inches. So for me, I am 5'6", or 66 inches. My waist should not be more than 33" to keep that visceral fat under control. I have about 6" to lose.
I went out cross country skiing on Sunday. Trevor was so supportive. He gave me the time to go out for as long as I wanted. I was out for about 45 minutes, and look forward to being gone for an hour next time. I made a track around the ball diamond park. It took about 2 turns to get up to speed. The third round was great! I hope my tracks are still there this weekend. Trevor will be gone on Saturday and Sunday, so I'll have to make time on Friday. Saturday we'll be in St Brieux for Ellie's hockey tournament.
I've also started exercising in the evenings when Trev's gone. I watch X-Weighted for inspiration while I work through some weight lifting, pushups, situps, lunges, squats, yoga and stretching. I reallys saw improvement on Thursday at the hall after doing this a few nights a week. I had way more energy and strength. I'm really starting to feel stronger and better. More confidence. It will only be a matter of time before I'm a lean mean machine!
My eating was totally on track this weekend too. I know I had more carbs than I should have, and not enough veggies, but it was very acceptable. I stayed close to my goal of 1500 cals per day, and was able to exercise every day. We tried to make it to skating on Sunday, but were running behind, and only put skates on the kids. I missed taking part, and will definately make sure we're at the rink with enough time to enjoy the ice next weekend.
I'm so looking forward to the new me! I feel in control for the first time in a long time. I can't wait to impress everyone with my hard work, and to reap the rewards of having a healthy body.

I feel frustrated that it was only .8lbs down this week. I have to keep reminding myself that this is for life. This is about eating healthy and being active. The weight will come off. I have to be satisfied with just knowing that I am living a better life now than I ever have. I'm starting to feel that that is enough.

losing 0.8 lb a week

Still on track. I've noticed that I have more energy. Not so much in the mornings, or at work, but definately in the evening. Used to be that I couldn't get supper ready, clean up, and deal with the kids. Was hitting the hay at 8 to watch TV, but only sleeping at 10 or later. The last few nights, I can make supper, clean the kitchen, do other housework, work out some, play with the kids, prepare for the next day, and get into bed around 9 feeling good. So that's a plus!
Unfortunately, I have started to weight myself every day, strictly out of curiosity. I was a little discouraged this morning when I weighed in at only .2lbs less than last week. I know that when I weigh myself tomorrow, there will be more loss, because I have been so on track with my new life plan, but who doesn't want the weight loss to go faster? I would love to have 3lbs a week loss, but even if it's 1 or 2 lbs, my summer I'll be a whole new me! I have to look at this as a plan to be healthy, with weight loss only a biproduct of the changes I'm making, not the focus. If I eat healthy within my caloric intake goals, and make an effort to do some physical activity every day, then I am making positive changes in my life that will help me live a longer and more enjoyable life for me and my family.

Still trucking. Wish the weather wasn't SOOOO cold. Supposed to be -51C today with the wind chill. BRRRRR! Tried walking the dog last night, but I think I started to get frost bite on my cheeks, so called it quits. Wanted to get up early and do some exercises (weights, yoga, stretching etc) but the power went out (!) at 4am. Kinda hard to work out in the pitch. I think tonight I will make an effort to get sweaty doing yoga, weights, situps, etc. Sometimes the kids like to join in too, then it's really fun!
So far, no feelings of being deprived. I still feel excited about this change. REally, not much has changed. I eat what I've always eaten, just cut out the crap. Day 17 with out junk food! That has to be worth something. No pop, candy, chips, chocolate bars, fast food, etc. Candy is my real weakness. It is so easy for me to just pop a jujube in my mouth, which almost always leads to 20 jujubes, and hundreds of calories.
I feel very positive about the healthy food choices I'm making for my family too. It is so rewarding to know my kids and husband have nutrious snacks and meals, made by me with love. They may not see it, but I show them I love them by making sure they eat healthy. It brings me such peace to know that I might be stopping the cycle of weight problems with my kids - that this might be the generation that learns a healthy lifestyle from their parents.

Bust 41.5"
Waist 39"

A great big apple. No wonder my pants won't stay up! I don't have a waist anymore! Can't wait to not have to worry about my plumbers crack showing.
I feel like I've been doing great. Eating really healthy, and trying to get exercise in in new ways. Went skating on Sunday with the kids, Trevor, and my dad. It was so much fun! And a not bad work out. If i was able to just cruise around the ice, I know I would work up a pretty good sweat. But that's hard to do when Hank keeps falling down and needs a hand up! :) Oh well, he's really improved this winter! He will probably be able to play hockey next year!
I've made a committment to walk Crocket every night with Audrey from now on. What's disappointing is that it's turned so cold this week. I don't feel right taking her out in the dark when it's colder than -30 with the wind chill. I really need the exercise, so I will power through, but I wanted her to get some movement in too.
