Lose Weight and Get Healthy

being unemployed did not help with this problem. stress and indescision compounds it as well. i have a new puppy coming in a few weeks and i really want to accomplish something with him. i need to lose weight and get in shape so i can train him, too.

Id like to work at getting down to 140 again, I will stop ordering out at work for one thing…

oh dear i looked this morning and i was 213 – how awful – i sit at a computer at work 12 hrs straight, so I tried to get up more today, drink only one mtn dew, eat a Lil ice cream and 2 pb sandwiches …mm-mm i think the dinner i precooked yest or it was the combo i ate tonight – either way ewwww – i need to get back on track – oct is coming and im going to kayak my butt off – but i can only hope for the tummy to go away 1st

I’ve already lost about 8 pounds mainly just from trying to eat a little less in general and a lot less junk. I lost my motivation a bit and started having coffees, crisps and chocolate but nothing major.

For the last week I’ve started walking around 5 miles a day which is good but I also want to tone up so I have signed up for a pilates course starting in a couple of weeks. I want to lose a further 8 pounds ideally but I also want to be really toned and healthy. My main problem at the moment seems to be cutting out the treats and getting my 5 a day. I’ve signed up to Nutridiary.com to try and record food/exercise but so far I’ve found it difficult to get the time to fill it all in.

My aim for the next week is to be more serious and more focussed about continuing my exercise and what I actually eat.

Since I started back at the gym, eating healthy again and running I have stuck to my “healthy habit” and the rewards have been awesome! I have lost fifteen pounds thus far, gone down two dress sizes and my energy level is way up there! Just six pounds to go to reach my goal.

and no longer obese according to my BMI.

Having a hard time getting rid of the last bit. Summer is here and that should help some.

215.6

Yay!

Now I’m off for a walk!

217.2

back to weekly weigh ins, eating right and exercising – walking and yoga for now.

It’s been three weeks since I started back at the gym and running. I’ve also improved my eating habits. I am sooooooooo happy to see that I have lost 8lbs in three weeks!!!! What a great incentive!! I’ve just 10 more to go an although the last 5 to 10 are the hardest I know what I’m up against and ready for the challenge.

This month, starting today I will be working my butt off (literally) with the ambition of getting back to a healthy weight. I’m not obese but I could stand to lose 15-20lbs to not only look better but most of all feel better. This month I’ll start off slowly with an attainable goal of losing 8lbs. Tonight if the weather is good I will walk for a hour outside otherwise I’mm getting on that treadmill!!!

I’ve done this so many times. I lose a bit and feel good about myself- and then somehow “forget” all of my new healthy habits and end up right back where I started again. I know it needs to be done and I keep putting it off and putting it off. Hopefully writing it down will help. I need to hold myself more accountable. If I don’t I fear where I will be in a year or two. I know what I need to do, I have the tools and the knowledge- I just need to motivation and the will.
