Day 146

Well hello friend! Today the scale read 259lbs. That is a new first. Don't know really what I did to deserve that. Hope it sticks around though, at least for a little while, and then I'd like to see some of his friends, 258, 257....etc.

Day 145

I'm in such a funk. I just can't seem to find my getup and go. Not only that, but I just don't seem to care. And I'm kinda mad at myself for not caring, but not enough to make myself care. I am still trying to track my food. I usually do breakfast and lunch, and I am concious about what I am eating for supper, but often don't enter it in on sparkpeople. The good news is that I am not gaining any weight. This morning at 7am the scale read 260.4lbs. So I'm still sitting at the same place. It's kinda hard to believe that anything would be different if I were up at at it every morning, since during my last 100 days the numbers refused to budge despite my best efforts at getting up and getting going. Maybe that's part of my problem right now....I don't know, and I kinda don't care.

day 141

Wow, I've got really bad at this posting every day thing. Life is busy and the weather has been beautiful. We've been spending a lot of time outside in the garden, the yard or out for little walks with the littles. That must be why I don't spend as much time on the computer posting. I also have a couple of posts in draft form on my other blog. I guess I need a rainy day so I can get caught up. I have been trying to remember to track my food and most days I do pretty good. I'm still hovering around the 261lbs for weight. Some days it's less some days it's more. If I could just get in the groove and get my exercising act together, I might be able to make some real progress. I know I keep saying that, and I don't know why it is that I just can't seem to get it all together, I really do want success. I haven't ever heard back about my blood test to see if there was a thyroid problem. I guess maybe I should call the doctor's office today and see if there is anything to know.


Today, the scale read 261.8lbs at 7:30am.

Day 135

Well it hasn't been a good week for posting regularly. I have however been tracking my food, and we've gone for a walk twice and I've been weighing myself every morning, I've been hovering around 261 all week.

This morning at 6:30 the scale read 260.4lbs. Kathryn and I went for a walk this morning. It's sure getting beautiful. Next week we're going to start biking in the mornings some times. That will be fun I think. What I really need to start doing better is strength training. I've been totally slacking in that area...kinda like with the walking. It all needs to improve. This week is now over, so Next Monday is a new week and time to stop being a lazy bum and get up and get moving.

Day 128

So today I've finally recovered from my weekend of indulgence. The scale read 260.2lbs at 8am. Not too bad for not having actually done any real exercise this week. it was all just watching and tracking what I was eating. Now to put the two together. It's obvious to me, that if I do, I will actually see some significant results. So why has it been so hard to just get up and do it?

Day 127

So, not so good at posting this week. The scale read 261.6 at 8am. So recovering from my weekend of indulgence. Have been terrible yet again about getting up and getting out. James and I frequently go for walks with Ella in the stroller, but they aren't exactly what you would call a work out. But at least I'm getting out...right? We'll be headed out again this afternoon. he loves going for walks, so off we go again. Now I just gotta get back into a morning routine, the weather is just getting too nice, during the day I want to be out in the yard with the kids instead of inside working out. So if I am going to get a work out in ever during this stint of my 100 day challenge, it's going to have to be in the mornings before the kids are up and getting ready for school. And if I am going to entertain the thought of running a 5k for Bonanza day the first weekend in August, I am going to really have to get up and get going. These things just don't happen by themselves, now do they?

Day 124

Scale read 266lbs this morning. YIKES!

I guess the deep fried pickles I ate on Saturday and my indulgent Mother's day dinner of steak, grilled caesar salad, loaded baked potato and no bake cheese cake have come to haunt me. Lets hope I'll be able to work that off this week. We got in late last night after visiting with my mom in law, so Kathryn didn't get up to go walking with me this morning, so I didn't get up either. I'm hoping to get a walk in later today. But one thing I will do this week, is be really good at watching what I am eating and keeping track of it. It's easy to see how that makes a difference after a weekend like this.
