First week doing well.

Aug 24, 2012

My weight this morning was 213!!! I have lost 6 lbs this week. I never expected this sucess. I feel like I'm just ready to let the weight go...For the last 10 months since I stopped nursing my babies I have been totally ignoring my health. I paid close attention to my health while TTC, pregancy and nursing. When I didn't need to do that anymore, it was a disaster for me. Not only had I been eating a lot more for nursing and was used to it, but I added in unhealthy foods I had been denying myself. I had got in the habit of having a glass of wine, sometimes two every evening after all the kids were in bed. Empty calories!!! I ate more sweets and more carby slider foods that  give little to my body for nutrition but pack in the calories! Old school stove top popped popcorn with lots of real butter & salt, Cheesit crackers, peanut butter crackers...I could go on. No wonder I gained! Full disclosure: at my highest I was almost as much as I was full term pregnant with twins.

Obesity, you won't get me again! I won't listen to your lies. I won't dispair about the 40 lbs I gained while sticking my head in the sand. I'm going to keep following my reasonable healthy lifestyle and doing this will kick your butt. It may take a long time, but I'm gonna do it.

I met most of my goals this week. I had one bad day and I'll have to watch that. I'm really proud of myself that I got right back at it the next day. I need to plan ahead for super busy and stressful days so I don't fall on my face again. It's not so much about what I ate and the walk I didn't take...it's the feeling I got while doing it. An out of control feeling!

Goals for this week: Excercise 30 minutes 5x
                                     Water Minimum of 64 oz
                                      Food: Three nutricious meals
                                                  If I need a snack, snack mindfully w/concentration on protein

Other goals: Be present in everything that I do, work hard, love on my husband and babies, don't listen to obesity
