Nov 14th

This week I lost 3.4 pounds, which I think is a good start. Of course I won't be really counting the weight loss until I get down past 220. I hate regaining weight. The second time around losing it isn't nearly as fun as the first. The whole time I'm just beating myself up for gaining it in the first place instead of being happy that it is coming back off.

It would have been more but I have no willpower over the weekend. Talon had his birthday so of course had to eat out when I went looking for his present with hubby. Then Friday night I had a gyro's, french fries, birthday cake and baklava. Didn't do much better on Saturday when we ate at Home Spun. I spun me some country fried steak, white gravy, mash potato's and fried apples. So I guess 3.4 pounds is kind of like a miracle :)

We are finally heading back to the gym. Did spin tonight and it kicked my booty as always. Garry's ankle still isn't doing so hot but he is determine to workout. They have added a new spin class on Thursday nights. Might have to hit that this week. I love how fast spin class goes. Might be the fact that I'm so dazed and oxygen deprived I have no idea whats going on...muhaha.

So I'm back to the basic. Counting calories, trying to eat every couple of hours, getting in more veggies and fruits, lean protein, laying off anything white or processed. Except my coffee. Gotta have creamer... I'm mean really if I get hit by a bus tomorrow I want to have some joy in my life :)

Crazy life

I have a crazy life... how doesn't. Just an easy excuse to bad eating and no excersize. If I'm waiting for the prefect time to lose weight then I will be fat forever! Which I am... So I need to work on creating an environment that might not be perfect but is doable. My weight was bouncing around in the 220's for a longtime I should have been happier because now I'm in the 240's. I can't even say i'm suprise. When I start avoiding the scale I start gaining weight. Which is really bad since now I really only have one pair of Jeans that fit and they are full of holes...lol. I'm calling in fat... sorry I have nothing to wear!

This Friday is grocery week. This week I'm going to but together a meal plan. I will most likely eat the same thing for breakfast, lunch, and snacks. Dinner will vary that seems to workout the best for me. I am going to eat at least one fruit or veggie at each time I eat and try to get in 6 meals a day. That works really well for me but its so hard to do. Actually I take it back I'm going to get start tomorrow. I have plenty of food in this house that I can eat. Lots of apples, some can fruit. Several packs of chicken. I can figure somethings out a made make a run for the few things I don't have. I can't keep putting this off.

I'm going on a cruise for my 20th anniversary November 2012. I guess I should say second honeymoon. Well in our case first honeymoon. I don't think the one night stay at hotel 8 constitutes a honeymoon :) Anyway.... How nice would be to actually want to be in the pictures. Maybe even wear a sexy dress and rumba with my hubby. So much fun. Something to aim for!

So it begins...........
