weigh in..week 4?

Or is it week 3? I can't remember..all I know is that I finally lost some weight! I am down to 170. I am grateful for those two pounds. I really exercised a lot more last week and ate..better, not great, but better. Losing weight always boost my motivation.
Goals for today: -eat good -get on the tredmill -accomplish atleast half of my huge list of things to do.

Walked and walked

My tredmill has mysteriously started working again, so yesterday I got on for a good 45 minutes and one minute of pushing the belt while it was off (that is super hard!), then for some reason I decided to eat macaroni and cheese for lunch and I sat there staring at my empty bowl thinking "Why did I just do that??" It's like my body is on autopilot and I am flying towards a mountian and instead of grabbing the wheel and turning, I just keep crashing into the mountain....So, I got back on the tredmill for another 45 minutes and one munute push. Then I danced with my kids. I felt so much better. Today I am going to turn off the destructive autopilot and I'm flying myself safely through this journey called Friday.
Goal: Eat super good for breakfast and lunch because I have Girl's Night tonight and we are going to my favorite pizza and pasta restaurant and I know I'm going to want to eat something there.

Week 3

Well, I am still the same weight (172) but I'm still doing better everyday. Yesterday I was so busy I can't even remember if I ate and I went walking and played tennis. This morning I got up a little late, but still went walking and my husband had my 3 egg whites all ready for me after I was done showering. I guess I just need to take each day and make it better than the day before.
Goal today: -Drink more water -Eat more veggies

Resisted!!!

Okay, so I started eating a bowl of cereal this morning and I put it down after a couple of bites and said...It's not worth it! I chose a yummy salad with lots of chicken with a side of cucumber for lunch, and when I took my kiddos for ice cream and I ordered myself a small shake...I only drank half and threw the rest out. It wasn't worth it! I've done so good today and I even got to go play tennis and spend outside time with my kids. I'm exhausted but not a bit guilty! I love myself right now....I know that sounds vain, but I need to feel this way more.

Wondering..

I'm excited and nervous to see what the scale has in store for me. I have been doing a lot better, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. I've been trying to cut out most of my carbs, but when there are no eggs in the house, it's hard to resist the cereal in my pantry! I better buy eggs today. I didn't make it to the gym..my alarm turned off his alarm and fell right back into snooze zone. It's okay, I played tennis yesterday and I am leaving in a few minutes to go to another tennis clinic.
Goal today: -when I'm hungry, think Salad. -Buy eggs -Drink more water

2 steps forward...

and one step back. I'm going to have a great day today and really DO my best and get rid of that one step back that has kept me from acheiving my goals. I made it to the gym this morning and I feel so great, PLUS watching the Biggest Loser always boosts my motivation. If they can do it I can do it!
Goal for today: -Eat better than yesterday -fold laundry(yes, my laundry has been sitting in baskets for a week now) -Teach dance

Week 2

Well, I'm on my own again. My friend had to drop out of our challenge for now. BUT that doesn't mean I'm stopping. I actually made it to the gym this morning and I'm cutting out carbs today. On saturday we were cleaning out the garage and I found an entire bin full of my "Skinny" clothes. I have so many cute clothes that I need to fit into! I got so angry at myself for letting myself get to this point. I don't want to be like this! I am only 28 and I should feel like I'm 28! I'm changing today and I'm going to DO everything I can to overcome this!
Goal today: -exercise(check) -fold laundry -go play tennis

Day 3 and 4

My wonderful husband has been emailing me every morning with motivational quotes and scriptures. It has helped a lot! Especially today. He (ofcourse) quoted Star Wars this morning and it was just what I needed. So, today I am no longer trying, I am doing. Even if it's just for today. I can only commit to one day at a time. Today I will Do my best to eat healthy. I love my husband and I am grateful he has stuck by me through thick and thin....literally!
p.s. I watched a new movie today...The Young Victoria. It is wonderful! I highly recommend it!

Day 1 and 2

Yesterday was day 1 of my two month challenge and it went pretty well, except I have a bag of chocolate chips in my house that I got into a couple of times. Today, not starting as great, but I'm determined to keep going. I found a picture of myself 30 lbs. lighter and I looked Incredible! It's totally worth it. I didn't get to exercise this morning. It's been so windy and I really want to exercise outside. I think I need to just suck it up and head back to the gym. I get really bored by lifting weights, but even if I went and did just cardio, it's better than nothing. I actually weighed in yesterday a lot lighter than I thought it would be, so I just have to keep going. If I can lose 15lbs. I can go down one pant size. I really want to!!! I have to keep saying..I know it's worth it! I can do it! Wish me luck!
Goal: -stay out of the chocolate chips -eat some veggies and fruit -drink more water
