Another one bites the dust.

Well another pound has been shed from my body. YEAH 140's here I come. This week I will be trying to walk atleast 3 times a week. Maybe more weight will come off. I do not feel deprieved because I can eat whatever just on a smaller scale and as long as I do not go over in points I am good.

Walking, Sit-ups, and the Wii

It's been about a week since I last took a walk. That's the longest I've gone without a walk in, I don't know, almost two months, not counting the time when I was sick with a bad cold and probably took time off. I'm wondering what the lack of vigorous walking has done for my weight.

We bought a second-hand Wii as a birthday/Christmas gift to us all, and it's fun! Tennis is probably the best calorie-burning workout so far, or boxing. Baseball, especially the homerun derbies, are a workout for the arms, something I also need. My upper arms and thighs are the last place I lose weight. My breasts - those are the first thing to disappear, and often the only thing. Playing on the Wii is not real, actual, full-on exercise, but it's a great alternative to sitting on the couch, watching TV and eating, and encourages more interaction with the family, and thought. You can't eat or space out much while you're on the Wii.

My goal for this upcoming week is to do 40 sit-ups a day - 20 in the morning and 20 in the evening. I went past the bathroom mirror while I was giving T a piggyback ride and noticed that my tummy still clearly isn't flat.

I must crack the whip and drive myself to perfection, or die trying, right?!? No. I want to look my best and be all hot and svelte and cocky and all, "Yeah, that's me." Why not? Gotta have some goals, and only one life to live!

I've been eating hard candy, but haven't had egg nog all month, and I love the stuff. I've been too busy eating Paul's birthday cakes. ; P

Like I alluded to, I don't know what weight I'm at this week.

YEAH!!!!

So I joined weight watchers a week ago and just with the eating plan I lost 3 lbs. I have never lost weight so quickly. I am starting to walk this week in hopes to encourage more weight loss. This is the first time I feel like I can do it.

It has been way too long since I posted anything...

Sorry, guys didn't mean to ditch you... Ok so here's an update.
Week to week my weight has fluctuated from a "low" of 284 to earlier this week I weighed myself and it said 292! Ahhh!!!! Well the obvious reason is I didn't work out for a week and a half. But holy cow! 8 lbs!!!!
I can't seem to keep weight off. I'm starting to wonder if the infertility treatments are causing it to be more difficult to loose weight. I haven't been eating very well or drinking my water. I'm a stress eater and right now, there is so much stress it would take up an entire afternoon to talk about it all! No wonder I can't get pregnant! Stress, weight, infertility, will it ever end?!?!
So today to try to get myself back on track, I went to the gym and burned 668 calories or an hour on the elliptical. Maybe that will erase that Frosty I ate today... I joined Weight Watchers a long time ago but have been too ashamed of my eating habits to even admit it to myself.
Any way that's where I'm at...
love you guys, sorry it has been so long since I posted something or encouraged you on your journeys.

Moving furniture

So a really good exercise to move heavy furniture all by yourself. I am cleaning a room a day this week to get ready for some friends coming over this weekend. I re-arranged our room all by myself, what a workout. My weight is about the same. Which means I am not gaining :) but I am akso not losing :( One day it will all come together.

For the first time since my children were born...

I bought a BELT! Since even before my children were born, my waist had been growing, growing, growing over the years. I kept buying bigger pants, hoping I could climb back down through all the sizes someday. After the birth of my second child, my waist has gradually, gradually shrunk and I have been returning to slimmer pants. It's been a slow process that's taken over three years. The entire time, I've tried to be far more active than I was during my years at a desk job.

Well, for the first time in at least five years, I've had to buy - A BELT!

I'm delighted!

I weigh about 135 and need a belt. Siiiggghhh.

Halloweens over

So I have eaten hardly any candy from my kids buckets. Of course it was in the car for the first few days. My weight has stayed the same but that is better than gaining. I am thinking of joining weight watchers in my quest to lose weight. My mom and aunts are doing it and they are losing weight. Well till next time.

I'm So STOKED!

Despite a cold that's getting worse, and despite the clutter in the house, I'm stoked on one account: MY WEIGHT!

Last week I walked an average of 2-4 (yes, 4) hours a day, almost every day. Yes, sounds crazy, but in the weather we were having - wonderful.

I've felt great energy-wise, ache and pain-free wise. And when I got on a scale, it said I weighed 130-135 pounds. (I weighed myself several times on two scales, and it averaged to 130-ish.) I'm not sure whether that's accurate or not, but I'll take it and run with it!!! I haven't weighed 135 since shortly after P and I were married!

My "Daphne" Halloween costume? It fit without looking ridiculous. Hooray!
