2 in 1

So this will be two posts in one because I didn't write on Friday.  And you could probably guess why.  Oh man.  I was up in weight.....142.0 even higher than when I started.  I am so discouraged.  When I knew I didn't do well, I lost motivation.  The week I lost I was super motivated.  Hard things were the superbowl sunday.....Also I felt extremely hungry this week.   I was SO hungry all the time.  Famished.  I think I didn't plan my meals well and found myself famished and then eating so fast and way too much.  So that was a problem. Also, I exercised more.  And Girl Scout cookies are everywhere.   I don't want to have to eliminate treats....but if I can't just eat one serving size then I think I will have to do something drastic to change.

I have also been feeling hungry, tired, and depressed.  I was wondering if I had some kind of thyroid problem.  I also don't sleep enough.  I know that is HUGE on my problems in life.  I just hate to go to bed (I love to sleep but I want to do fun stuff at night).  I also need to really improve on taking my multi-vitamin.  

I want to be careful not to be too hard on myself.  This takes me down the road of depression....which is exactly where I went this week.  My healthy journ isn not just about loosing the last 10lbs.....it is about making healthier choices body mind and spirit.  Learning to love and appreciate this body of mine that I was so grateful to come to earth to get.  There are so many things to do to take care of myself that the day doesn't seem to allow for all of it.

Things I did well this week

1.  Ran a 10K!!!  I did the mermaid race this week.  Wasn't in perfect shape, but hey......I ran the whole way with my friend Amber!!
2.  Exercised

Goals for this week

1. Get ready for bed 10:30 be in bed by 11
2. Take a multi-vitamin

Beginning week 3

So today was a tough one.  It was super bowl Sunday.  I had really prepped myself in my head to be prepared and to make healthy choices.  My brother in law made these really awesome ribs and there was keylime pie.  Need I say more?

Well I know from experience that you can have a bad day but still have a good week, so that is what I am going for.

This week goals:

I want to continue with portion control.
Exercise more
Take a multivitamin everyday.

I know I can do this.  I did it last week.  I found this.  It will be my mantra for the week.

Week 2 Results

Good news!  I am happy to report that I weigh:

140.4.  I lost 1.4 lbs!!  That is a huge success!  I am more than thrilled and it makes me want to keep trucken' on and makes me feel like this little goal of mine is so doable.  Conciencous eating is everything for me.  I am not trying to be perfect nor do I feel like I want to write every detail out on paper of what I am eating.  For now, paying attention to portion size, eating healthy and controling my sugar intake.....is everything for me.

Bravo
This week I did well.  I would say Bravo for just eating a little dessert everynight and being satisfied with that.  Being mindful and mesuring out things and controling portion size.

Improve
It was a stressful week, because I was planning Charly's 7th birthday party.  I totally let that consume me.  It was an awesome party.....but I had to let exercise go this week.  So I will be back on track with that this coming week.

Affrimations:

I can do this.  Weight just falls off of my body.  It is easy for me to make healthy choices.  I crave healthy food.  I know when to say enough.
