Sunday afternoon

I am trying to lose weight, a lot of it. Maybe when I have made some progress, I will tell you how much! I have done it before and it always comes back. I am hoping that by setting realistic goals, I will be able to take it off and keep it off. My DH and I will work together to accomplish our goals. My real start date is January 1, but I am taking small steps now to work toward that day. Today I exericsed with my Wii and did some weight training. I am hungry right now and want so much to order Chinese food just one more time before the big changes start! Should I or shouldn't I? It will depend on what DH wants to do. If he wants Chinese, we will order. If he wants to be 'good' I will make a salad. I don't want a salad, but I do want to be healthy. Hey, if anyone is reading this and you have any diet or exercise tips, I'd love to hear them! If you need some advice, I will give you some: www.sparkpeople.com it is a great, free site where you can track what you eat and your exercise, plus read tons of articles with advice, and network with others who are trying to reach the same goals you are.

walk on a chilly morning

My DH called me at 8am to ask if I wanted to go for a walk when he got home from work. Sure, I said, trying to be cheery, even though he had awakened me from a strange dream. My plan was to get back on track with diet and exercise today, so that was great timing. I put on some jeans that were less than clean, pulled my hair back in a pony tail, slipped on a t-shirt and sweatshirt and waited for his arrival. Shortly after he got home, I was checking out Yoville (almost have enough coin to buy my Cape Cod) when DH made a disgusted noise...he was trying to put my shoes on. You see, my feet are big and so we get our shoes mixed up easily. Anyway, we got our walking shoes on and away we went. It was cold...32 degrees! It was good to get out and walk...I have had so many things going on the last couple weeks that I have really ignored good eating habits and exercise has only been hit or miss. We were walking under the railroad underpass (highline as they call it here) and spotted a tin...

Getting ready for P90X

One of my goals is that when I have lost 28 pounds, I will start doing the P90X workouts. I bought the set of DVD's two years ago and was just too heavy and out of shape to do them. I tried, but it was too much for me to sustain. Now I am 6 pounds away from meeting my goal so I started looking at the program last night...specifically the eating plan. I did all the figuring and it came out that I should eat 2400 calories a day when doing the workout. I can't imagine that is correct, I am sure that with the job that I have...spending much of my time in a car or sitting in meetings, that will be too much. Right now I eat between 1300 and 1500 calories a day, burn around 1100 calories in my workouts and I lose 1-2 pounds a week. I wonder if that calculation is based on maintaining weight and building endurance and muscle....who knows? I will have to research it further. The other thing is that I don't know if I will do the P90X every day, or if I will do other workouts, li...

Weigh in day! One month with SP

Today marks my one month anniversary for being back on track with Sparkpeople and my 49 day on this blog challenge. I lost three pounds! I feel great, eat good food and exercise regularly, but I don't over do it! I look forward to another good week. I am not falling into that trap of 'treating myself' on weigh in days, I have to eat as healthy today as I did every other day. I don't want to eat anything that will impede my weight loss and good health!
