Week 26: Staying Positive

Monday, September 28th, 2009

I seem to have hit a plateau in my weight loss. I haven’t lost anymore and haven’t gained anymore. I’m just there. Granted I will have to admit that I didn’t work out at all this week and only one day last week. I did get in some walking though. I don’t feel my diet has been horrible but maybe I’m just eating too much of what I am eating? I don’t know.

I’ve also noticed that my body is starting to look a little weird to me. I know its because of the weight loss and my body will loose it where ever it wants to but it leaves me kind of looking pregnant with a big belly and I find myself not wanting to wear certain clothes anymore. I’m not going to guy new ones yet though. I KNOW I will lose more weight.

Week 25: Life Getting in the Way

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Another week has gone by so fast! Unfortunately I have not lost anymore weight and in fact I have gained 3 pounds back. I am really upset about this, but I guess I cant complain. I have to admit that I havent been walking as much as I have been. I kinda let life get in the way. I don’t want that to be an issue because getting healthy and losing more weight is my biggest goal right now. I just need to remember that and learn to say no when people ask me if I can hang out when Im supposed to be walking.

I also think that another reason I gained 3lbs back is because my eating habbits have gone a little astray. It seems as though I am not eating as good as I have been and maybe eating bigger portions. I’m hitting the reset button again and I am DETERMINED to have a great, healthy, exercised filled week! =)

Week 24: Tough Week

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

This week was a bit hard for me. I hadn’t worked out last week and the first work out of this week was fine, but the second was really tough on me. It was extremely hard for me to do and I felt as though I was doing a horrible job at what little bit I was doing. Toward the end of the session I ended up breaking down and I actually cried. I was so embarrassed but my wonderful trainer just kept encouraging me and that made me feel so much better.  To actually have someone who believes in you and keeps you motivated is such a big change for me. I am so blessed to have my trainers!

Week 23: Emotional Eating

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

This week wasn’t too swell. I let my emotions effect what I ate. It is something I have struggled with my whole life and even though I am gradually working on it, I don’t think that it will go away forever. Everyone has that tendency and so will I. I just need to learn to control it better and make better choices. If I am going to eat something that isn’t too good for me, I need to eat it in moderation.

A friend at work suggested that we take our no smoke smoke break and do laps up and down the stairs and around the building.  We did it twice a day for two days and I think we will continue to do it on a regular basis. Hopefully!  She is an older lady and sometimes she just doesn’t feel like it. But that doesn’t mean I can’t do it on my own. I’ll just have to stay motivated no matter what and get my butt in gear.

Surprisingly I did lose 3 pounds this week. I don’t know how, but I did so I won’t complain. =) Altogether that makes 41 pounds. You know whats funny though? I don’t even feel as though I have lost that much weight. My God-son came over this weekend. For the fun of it we weighed him and he is 33lbs. I put him on my back and walked around thinking, “Ive lost this much weight!” It put it into perspective a little bit.

But  here’s to a new good week. Oh yeah, Im working the Shenandoah County fair. It is going to be so hard, but I am NOT going to get anything to eat at all from there! Its so bad for you. I love funnel cakes but they are just horrible. I’ve gotta show some self control LoL.
