24 October 2011

Last night dinner with mom -including cake and ice cream- was well over my RDI yesterday. I'm not going to stress over it though for a couple of reasons. First, I cannot uneat the food. Second, my mom and dad went to a lot of trouble to make me feel special for my birthday. Third, the food was soooo good. My dad made beef and noodles, green bean casserole, carrots cooked in coke-a-cola, pea, and grands biscuits w/ honey. My mom made homemade mashed potatos, yummy. Then we had mint chocolate chip ice cream (my abso fav) and cake from Publix.

My mom got me a dozen roses (she does that every year) and an arm band for my iPod when I'm exercising (score!). My daughters bought me a piggy knick-knack and my youngest made me a picture frame with her picture in it (so cute). My birthday isn't until tomorrow but it was nice to be surrounded by my family, it feels like it doesn't happen often enough.

Tonight I have a paper to finish for school; today is my last day of this class. Two more classes and I am finished with my Bachelor's. I'm so excited to be finished. I didn't finish with the GPA I would have liked, but it is not a bad GPA so I'm not going to be too upset with myself. I think I did pretty good for juggling school, a job change, purchasing a home, and planning a wedding. I will breath and enjoy my accomplishment, Lord knows I never thought the day would come when I had a Bachelor's degree.

As for my diet and exercise. I have to get better about my exercise. My husband's schedule changed so instead of him having 4 nights off he will only have 2. This kind of cuts down my gym time. I am going to have to see how the next couple of weeks go to see when I can schedule my gym time. In the meantime, I will go to the gym both days he is off and I will walk on the other days. Depending on my schedule it could be an hour walk or a half an hour walk.

I also have to be better about my calories. My MIL insists on buying and making cakes, cookies, and brownies. I have to be better about not eating a lot of that stuff. It's my waistline that is suffering.

Got up this morning and felt like being lazy. I got on the computer and kind of laid around a bit and almost laid down to take a nap. Then I thought to myself how disappointed I was with my loss over the past 2 weeks so I got my butt up and went to the gym. I did 30 minutes of eliptical and an hour of weights. I feel better about my choice even though I'm tired, lol.

I'm heading to my moms tonight for dinner. I have no idea what she is making but hopefully it isn't anything with pasta. Tuesday is my birthday so she always makes me a special birthday dinner. I told her to suprise me this year.

Speaking of my mom, she joined FS! Yay mommy! Super proud of her.

I feel disappointed in this loss but I have to remember that it is a loss. It just frustrates me that it took two weeks. I have to remind myself that I had TOM and fell off a bit which combined to cause this. I will celebrate the downword trend and I will use the smidge of disappointment to drive me to do more, to do better.

I know that I'm supposed to focus on the positive. Remind myself of all of the progress I've made. Sometimes it's not as easy as it seems. Last night all I could see is the rolls of dat, the wobbly, cellulite, the rolls of back fat, and the puffy belly pooch. I try to remind myself that I just bought a new pair of jeans in a smaller size (woo-hoo!!) but then I just think about the fact that they are tight and stretchy so it's almost like cheating.

Basically I'm finding it hard to celebrate the triumphs and I feel like I can only concentrate on the negatives. I love the fact that I fet support here and lots of people are noticing that I'm losing weight. I just wish it didn't take so long.

I just had to get this down since it's been in my head. I'm trying not to be a debbie-downer - just need to get that out so that it doesn't undermine all my efforts...

So... I'm back to weighing myself in the morning again. I don't know how I feel about that. I feel like last week I got off track and the only thing I really did different was to not weigh myself in the morning (this is probably not the case and probably has no bearing on anything but I liken it to my husband wearing his jersey on game day, it doesn't make the team win but it makes him feel like he's contributing).

Back to the point, weighing myself in the mornings... and I'm back to 182! Woop! That means (hopefully) I should have a loss this weekend. Not much of one but it should hopefully be something.

I went to the gym last night (finally!) and did 40 minutes of cardio and 45 minutes of weights. It had been so long since I'd been to the gym that I did whole body for weights whereas normally I spit upper and lower.

I really feel like I can start jogging, I really want to try. Depending on what tonight looks like I might give it a go.
