still stuck

Weighed in at 258 this morning. There was a glimmer of hope that maybe things were going to go down...but not so. Maybe it was the popcorn and cheesies that I ate on the weekend. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate this? well I do.

just getting started

Yesterday morning when I stepped on the scale it read 258.2lbs. This morning it read 256.2lbs. I like the looks of that. I have been making smoothies for breakfast and eating either eggs or sausages for a protein. I've been trying to eat mostly veggies at lunch and for dinner I'm just eating what I've always eaten. The next thing I need to do is work in some regular exercise. Which means getting to bed sooner so I can get up early. The going to bed early is the hardest part.

Summer is gone...time to get in the groove

Alright, well so much for summer. Totally fell off the wagon, but last I checked I'm still sitting around the 260 mark. Time to get my but in gear and make some changes. To start Jakki Harty has challenged me to lose 10lbs by Oct 10. I'm not sure how reasonable that is, but I think I'll take her up on the challenge. To change things up a bit, she suggested that maybe I cut out carbs for breakfast. That will certainly change things up as I always eat a high fiber cereal for breakfast. So I have to start re thinking breakfast and see if maybe that will be enough to jump start my body into losing some of this weight. I think I'll even try to keep away from carbs for lunch and just allow myself to eat them for supper. I think I can do that. As for exercise I haven't yet figured that out entirely. Donna McLachlan and I want to start working out together a couple of times a week. And I think realistically I will need to just start getting up in the mornings before sending kids off to school. I can do these things! But I need to do some grocery shopping to get me all set up to cut back on my carbs.

Day 187

I'm alive, really I am. I have been weighing in daily, just not recording it here. Today's weight was 158.6lbs. not bad. not excellent. But it is what it is. Summer is busy and fun.

see you again soon.

Day 177 - back from camping and back into the groove.

So we are back from camping....and the scale reads 259.6 lbs. So it seems as though I gained 10lbs while camping. OOPS! so much for being a good girl. But honestly I don't know what I would have done differently, except for not drink so much Dr. Pepper. And that pop must have been what did me in, because we just ate what we normally eat. So here I am back at the beginning, trying to get back on track. I hope that maybe Kathryn and I can get up and at it in the mornings and get walking or biking together.

Day 161

Oh man, I'm getting bad at this. I haven't been tracking my food as much on Sparkpeople.com. I still try to log in everyday to keep me at least thinking about it. This morning the scale read 258lbs.

On Monday we are heading out camping for 10 days, so I won/t be posting or tracking my food. I'm keeping that in mind as I make up our menu and start gathering our food. I'll be trying to keep it as balanced as I can.

Day 156

A crappy day today. One of Kathryn's classmates passed away last night. And that just sucks.

Today the scale read 258lbs. Yesterday it read 257.4lbs. It's nice to see those numbers. But today, I just don't care.
