Another week

Alright.......so posting every night just isn't a reality for me.....at all.  So I am going for once...maybe twice a week.  I think Sunday night is good because....I can set goals and get in a good mind set.  Thursday is good for weigh ins a Bravos.  So here are my stats from thursday:

weight: 141.8  (ok not way as bad as I had thought).  So that leaves me wanting to loose 11.8.

That is SO doable.  And I CAN DO HARD THINGS.  It is that last 10lbs that is a killer.

What I did good last week:

I spent the week becoming aware of how much I ate.  I think because I only have 12 lbs to loose I really just want to focus on small changes.  I really hate writing everything down I eat....so I am not going to do that just yet.  I think by doing this I will be more conscientious of what I eat.

I exercised

I ate really healthy foods.

Goals for this week:

I am going to focus on portion size at dinner.  I am going to measure my dinner and eat a serving size.  I might be a little hungery.....

Try eating a healthy snack everyday at 4pm.

I can do this.  I love my body and I want to take good care of it.  I am a healthy fit person.  My clothes feel so good on my body.  I am beautiful.  Weight melts off my body so easily.  It is easy for me to make good choices concerning food.  Healthy food taste so good.

Thank you everyone for you support.  It has been so amazing.....I continue on this journey because of you....I haven't given up because of you....yes 3 days and going strong becasue of you. And still no followers :)

Anyways,  today I made some really concenious notes about how I eat.  I eat a lot.  I had two lunches and two dinners.  LOL.....ok I know that sounds terrible. But I am HUNGRY.  From past expirence I have learn that I have to bite the bullet and shrink my stomach.  I really ate healthy today.  Quinoa, salmon, guacamole, brown rice, broccoli tofu stirfry, greek yogurt.....all healthy....but too much.

I think I will start next monday really keeping track of how much I eat and stay within my points (I am a seasoned ww member).  It will take me a week or two and then my stomach will shrink and I will be used to eating less.

Tried a new tofu recipe tonight......it was a hit with my fam!!!  I will post it tomorrow.  Ive got lots to do tonight.

Day 2

Greetings to all my loyal followers!!  Yes, you....all 0 of you.  But I am not going to let that discourage me.  Nope, I am just going to add a 1 and a couple of 0's.  So 1,000.  wow.  And it is only my second post.

I know you have all been hanging on by a thread at how my healthy journey went today.  So here it is. Since it was a holiday, we didn't have to take the kids to school so I was able to get up early and run 3.3 miles.  It felt really good.  I ran really slow.  But steady.  I felt really proud of my self.

The good:

1.  I ran 3 miles.
2.  Walked all around the zoo with kids
3.  ate a healthy breakfast & dinner
4.  was able to stop myself on a binge of kettle corn.

I was more conscientious of what I was eating.  That is probably my ultimate goal.  I loathe counting calories and writing down what I eat.  Although, I need to do that for a while.  I really just want to make each bite conscientious.

Tomorrow:

BE CONSCIENTIOUS 
 tomorrows challenges are after I pick up the kids we go to gymnastics and then quickly home before I am off to church activity.  So lots of opportunity to be starving.  I always overeat when I am starving.  I will plan on bringing a healthy snack and having dinner almost prepared before I leave.

I am craving something right now to eat.  I am not hungry.....but i just feel like indulging.  I am going to go have a little something healthy.  And then be very proud of myself.  I will write tomorrow how I avoided stuffing my face with chocolate cake.

The begining

Ok.....It is time for me to get serious.  I can't make it to ww meetings.  I need to have daily accountability and I think writing this blog will actually help me.

The problem:  I have a very indulgent mind set.  If I am not present and deliberate in my thinking with food then it just gets out of control.   I only need to lose about 15-25lbs.  I know that is not a lot, but I know that I will feel much better about myself if I blog about my weightloss.  I have to say that for the exception of chocolate....I actually already eat very healthy and I exercise.  But I also eat a lot of healthy food.  I indulge.   I feel like since after Christmas I have been a bit blue...a mild depression...I know loosing weight isn't the sole key to happiness......but at least when I am feeling upset about something I won't think....."and I am fat too"...boohoohoo.

It is really time for me to get on board with an all around healthy mind set.  I yo-yo way too much.  If I feel like I am not doing a good job then I completely let it go.  So this blog is where I am going to let it all out.....I am going to imagine that I have hundreds of readers rooting me on.....I have to be acountable and I can't let you guys down.

What I want to accomplish:

I don't know about the ins and outs of this blog yet.....I think that I want to blog 5 days maybe S-TH  and come up with what I did well, a positive affirmation or inspiring quote.  Write something I learn.  One weekly weigh in.....I think I want that to be Thursday.  Talk about a goal for the next day or what I can do better.

I really don't feel like weighing in right now because I ate Chocolate cake tonight.  I am going to weigh in and take measurements on Thursday.  I think I will remeasure once a month.

My goals:

1.  Lose 20lbs. (I would like to be around 130.....129 would be great!! :)
2.  Be a size 8 (I have junk in my trunk and that junk never seems to be smaller than a size 8)
3.  Get control.
4.  Have a healthy outlet to loose weight.
5.  Love my body and be grateful for this beautiful creation

My Goals for Monday:
1.  Drink my 8 glasses of water.  Only indulge in one soda (club soda w/ juice)
2.  Plan a healthy dinner
3.  Snack on veggies.
Tomorrow is a holiday so things are a little out of sorts....
