Finally!! I lost five pounds. I was really starting to think that I wasnt going to be able to lose anymore weight especially since I struggled a bit this week with eating. I think I’m addicted to chinese food. I love it.

I also got moving this week more than I have been in the last month or so. I took some short walks at work and did a few sets of stairs. I feel like I didn’t really do that much and lost five pounds. If I can work harder on my diet and get my heart pumping just a little more, than maybe, just maybe I will make the 300lb mark by 2010!

This week I got moving more than I have been in a while. I took a couple of walks. But on the other side of that, when looking at what I ate, I seemed to have eaten a lot of pork, which I know probably isn’t good for me, and a lot of potatoes. I haven’t eaten that many potatoes in a long time. They are filling but they also seem to slow you down, especially if your not exercising.

This next week my goal is to walk at least 3 times and do my stairs at least two times. I NEED to lose some more weight!

Well, I managed to make it through Thanksgiving with out gaining any weight. I did however eat too much and I have to say, I enjoyed it. I walked some of it off so thats a little bit of a balance.

I’m starting to get motivated again which is a terrific thing since it had slowed down a bit in the last month or so.  I’m still learning that I can sometimes eat things that aren’t necessarily  good for me but just in moderation and controlled portions. It’s a daily process that I know will be worth it in the end if I just keep trying.

This week wasn’t much more productive than last. It’s the same old song and dance with the weight. It seems every week I go up then the next week I come down. I was looking at my food/exercise journal from the summer and I realize that I was doing a lot of walking and that really got my heart pumping. I need to get myself in gear and do way more cardio than I have in the last two months or this weight is not going to come off.  I still have four weeks until Christmas. Maybe I can lose ten pounds by then. I’m going to really try! I’ve got to get focused and not let anything (or anyone for that matter) get in my way. I’m doing this for me and I’ve come too far to ever  go back!

Another week down. I slipped a little with my eating. I ate at McDonalds for the first time in what feels like forever and my body did not like it! I won’t be doing that again anytime soon that’s for sure.

I don’t know if it’s the change of the seasons and the fact that its getting dark super early now or what’s going on, but I’m starting to lose my motivation in exercising and eating right. Living a healthy livestyle is harder than I thought. Everyday is a struggle for me. I hear about people who lose a lot of weight and I wonder, what keeps them motivated? One of my greatest fears is that I will lose motivation all together and gain weight.
