motivate MYSELF to drop the pounds

return to bad habits and give in to bad cravings. Over all, a lot of my cravings have subsided, its mainly chocolate and ice cream are my weaknesses still. My body has been changing a little from the walk/run’s I do on Saturday mornings and in not having the cookies. I drink lots of water still but seem to be at a stand still as far as losing weight. I get close, but then I get to starved point and just remain at same weight.

Any suggestions/meals/diets anyone trying that are working?

then came summer, with my nieces and no job. I did regain some, have been working on relosing the lbs I recently put on. Low calorie, less starches and exercise are working ok so far. I am at 69 lbs. lost as of this morning. I’ve been doing eggs for breakfast, they tide me over pretty well. Eat nuts for snacks. Broccoli steamed with garlic sauce was dinner along with 4 nectarines. I have missed fruit. My nephew told me his workout routine for his arms and I had been doing that pretty steadily until the past 2 days when I was exhausted by Busch Gardens and driving my niece to Lakeland, getting lost in Clermont than Orlando and then getting home later. Tonight, I must hold to it. I’ve also been doing the wriggling across the floor using my butt, as my mom swears this helped her lose inches off her waist. We’ll see, all I know is my butt is sore after going across the wooden floor for 10 minutes. I also through in some situps/crunches as I feel they help my mid section. Even with all the crap of the job loss, I’m trying to not give in to eating badly or eating foods that are most definitely not good for me.

P.S. Walked 10+ miles on Saturday morning and managed to pull 17 minute miles. I’m working on going faster this Saturday!

that should be motivation enough. :( Ugh Ugh ugh! I CAN’T allow this to continue I MUST make changes today…no more putting it off for a different day or waiting for a Monday…it starts TODAY!

MUST have a new dress to wear & must feel hot in it! I have 4 weeks to buy something smaller & way cuuute :) It’s time to kick this shit in high gear! Any ideas? Tips??

I fell off the path, and regained 5 lbs, after making several bad choices. Learned along the way that I need to not beat myself up about choices, be them bad or good.

I am currently at 62 lbs. lost!

Sorted through clothes and will do so again. I have gone from a 4x to a 1x! I feel great about that. I’m working on getting my problem areas or rather areas I’m not so happy with in shape! Yesterday went to gym-yeah I joined a gym. Played 4 games of racquetball, won 1, lost 3, but had a good workout. My friend S, showed me how to use the ab machines, and I did the rowing machine for a while. I played Wii with my niece later on and did bowling. Yesterday was a day of awesomeness, I felt so full of life and so just happy!

I’m under a certain number on the scale and just feel empowered by it. Today is a good day!

Yes! Go me!

well ladies. i have had QUITE the hiatus from this goal. but nevermind the past, i am moving on. i have a new subgoal:

i want to get down to within 5lbs of my original freshman year of college weight. and i want to complete this subgoal by June 2010—my master’s graduation month. if i can do that, i will be endlessly proud of myself for not only completing 5 solid years at university, but for meeting the goal weight. the difference in weight is roughly 22 lbs. i’m going to weigh myself weekly (or more frequently) and record it. the changes i will make include gym/yoga habits and healthier eating, plus portion control.

i’ll give updates on this goal from now on through these entries… wish me luck :)

but getting back in gear…I had slight motivation today when I purchased a new shirt & I bought it a size smaller & it fit. even with a lil bit of room. In another month Ill buy another hopefully again a size smaller…it’s a start!

has YET to return. I must find it somewhere else…nothing i’ve been thinking or trying is working I’m going out of my mind here.

I was thinking yesterday I may go back to weight watchers points. That was the thing that worked last. I dunno ugH! I hate this I hate this…why cant they just invent a melt your ass pill? and you just poop it out?

to where I was before I lost it. I’ve started my workout routines again…30 mins only so I don’t want to stop again. Today I moved up 5 more mins. Its a start!

I have to find it again. It’s going to kick me in the ass if I don’t…I so sad.
