Phew...

Today I ate onion rings... I've felt dirty ever since.. Blech.. I have been doing *okay* lately.. I'd much prefer to believe that I can do this without exercise...buuuuuttttttt... Yeah, not happening! Lol!!

Awww... It's been a long few days and I'm hoping that tomorrow I wake up refreshed and ready to take on some healthy activity!!

Oh boy...

Well, since my last post in February I have gained more weight... It's now 0 down and 60 to go... :( I'm not proud of this, and am in fact pissed off that I let myself get to this point.. First of all, I just gave up when I got poison ivy working in my yard and could barely move my legs without having horrible itching and scratching... It was beyond debilitating as far as exercise goes...

However, now I have a good outlook (most of the time) and I'm tracking my food intake with spark people and have lost 1.5lbs! :)

I'll be on here more because I know I need to vent, etc in order to be successful!!

Wish me luck!! :)

lack of motivation..

I have been under the weather and lost a good portion of my motivation.. any suggestions? I downloaded an app onto my iphone to help mix up my workouts a little so I'm not getting stagnant.. Hopefully that helps..

What do you do to keep your motivation?

Well, well, well...

I recently went to the doctor and found out I'm having some issues that may be causing me to have a little bit of a harder time losing this weight... I won't bore you with details but I was given solutions (all natural) so hopefully I'll speed this along a little better!!

I'm feeling good about the inches I've lost but Ian getting a little annoyed with the weight loss not happening.. I've decided to start eating a lot more fruits and veggies and cutting way back on my bread intake.. I'm an admitted starch-aholic and I've got to (mostly) kick that habit or I'll stay this weight... Anyone whose had luck in this dept I'll need all the insight you can give me!! Anyone??

Wow..

How come every Thursday I feel like I want to gorge... Fridays weigh-in is brutal if I indulge myself.. Today I swam for over an hour with my youngest andi felt great afterwards... I have a feeling we'll all sleep good tonight!! Lol!

I'm also thinking of getting a nutritionist in to give us some suggestions.. Anyone ever do this? Anyone you suggest??

another good workout!!

I keep going up in my calories for the arc trainer and I'm just working really hard and loving it!! Okay, that's a slight lie.. Around 5-10 minutes in I do think about giving up and then I remember that it gets better!!

I have been feeling really good, I've had a few slip ups with the halloween candy in the house.. But I think I've done relatively good! That and I've now put the candy in my pantry so I can't see it! lol.. Mind over matter..

Wish me luck that I stay on this track!!

Fabulous workout=fabulous outlook!!!

I had a great workout tonight.. It probably seems minascule to you hardcore people, but it was a tough one today.. still can't figure out why.. I did 30 minutes on the arc trainer (I fondly call it the ass trainer) and burned 277 calories and stayed above 120 strides per minute the whole time... I was so proud of myself!! Then, I did 10 minutes on the treadmill to cool down a little, then did a ton of stretching... It's amazing how good I feel when I push myself!!

I have had 4 or 5 pieces of the kids candy, since last night so I felt like I had to have a sizeable goal and I haven't gotten over 200 calories since I've started on the arc trainer..

So, here's to getting down those 45lbs with a positive outlook!!

I am looking for a nutritionist to come to our house and help us learn how to eat better. We've been doing the all natural thing, but I'd like to learn more and I would like ALL of us to really GET it.. Now, to find a nutritionist!! lol! Wish us luck!!
