Weigh-in tomorrow!

Tomorrow is weigh in day again!  I feel pretty good about jumping on the scale.  This week was a challenge - having my calories cut back due to my weight loss was...interesting.  I had one evening that I just needed more to eat - I think that was mainly due to having a sub for dinner. I didn't go over my calorie goal, but I think having a sub that has most of its calories coming from the roll was a mistake.  In order to succeed, I need to eat lower calorie meals.  The rest of the week was good.  I took a walk today - it was quite chilly, but I was happy to be out walking!  I ended up walking 2 miles in 41 minutes - so I got an extra 11 minutes of exercise - plus I am going to do my strength training tonight.

You might enjoy reading this article I wrote about the ups and downs of weight loss that I have experienced, including some advice on how to succeed.

"It is invigorating to lose weight! I feel successful, happy, and thin! However, something always happens to push me off the wagon. I wish I could understand why I do not stop before gaining all the weight back. It happens repeatedly. I lose 20 or 40 pounds and a year later, I have gained it all back.
These are some reasons why I fail:
I'll see you tomorrow for weight loss results!

Have a great night and stay healthy!!

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...

I want, no I NEED to lose 50 pounds!  I am so sick of the lose and gain - lose and gain roller coaster.  I hate the idea of tracking calories, but I went back to Sparkpeople today.  If I follow the meal plan, I don't have to actually count calories, just eat what the plan tells me.  Maybe this time I can get a jump start and then just get used to eating a healthy, balanced diet.  Exercise is one key ingredient to my success.  Total Gym. here I come!

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!
