Always an excuse

Well, it seems like I always have an excuse....one week I am sick, the next the kids are sick. I haven't worked out at all for two weeks because Cort has had bronchiolitis and has been up about 10-12 times a night. When they all lay down for naps, and I could work out, I go to sleep. I guess that is more important right now. Things are looking up though. I did weigh in at 153, so down a lb. I am getting discouraged also. Not because I don't have the motivation, but I don't have the time sometimes and when I do, I don't have the energy. Stinks. I think my best bet is to focus more on my eating. I am going to lower my calories to 1250-1300 and eat 80% healthy food (fruits, veg, lean meats, ) and the other 20% can be empty starches, sugars, salad dressings, etc. I am hoping I can get Cort back onto his normal sleeping schedule this weekend, since he is feeling much better now. I am going to try to make it a priority to work out 15 min. a day. If I can do more, I will. But, if not, at least I did some. Hope this plan works and I see some change. I am so tired of talking about it and not doing it.

Thursday 3/11

Well I have been following the points with weight watchers since Monday...thus I am on my 4th day. It hasn't been too hard as we have stayed in all week. But I feel huge and am worried that it is not going to have done anything. I plan on weighing in tomorrow although that won't be a full week, but we have big plans for both Friday and Saturday and so I don't think if I weighed in on Monday it would be accurate to show me if eatting better is making a difference. I have riden my bike twice this week for 30 minutes and done wights twice this week for 15 minutes each time and I walked on the treadmill for 45 minutes changing the incline every 5 minutes. I am about to ride my bike again today and then walk on the treadmill tomorrow. Overall I am sick of excercising and thinking about my weght so much...but what can you do :)

SOOOOOOO TIRED!

Well, I did weigh in and was 153 which is down a couple lbs from last week. I can't really attribute this to anything besides being so busy this past week. I have been feeling so motivated to work out and the weather is so beautiful that I want to go for bike rides and walks, but I am so exhausted. Cort has been sick for about a week with a cough and hasn't been sleeping well at all. I am only getting a couple hours of very interrupted sleep per night and am starting to feel sick as a result. I haven't had the energy to workout at all, although I have really wanted to. Chad is taking Cort to the Dr. today, so hopefully we can get some medicine to take care of his cough and he can go back to sleeping at night. I am feeling really motivated, just wish I had the energy to follow through. I am hoping that by the end of the week both Cort and I will be doing better. In the mean time, I am just going to stick to eating healthy.

Sunday 3/7/10

Well I was pretty bummed on Friday when I weighed in as again nothing has changed with the wieght. But I ordered some new jeans and just tried them on and they are slightly too big. They are my bigger size but I think this must mean I am beginning to be more lean and that is a positive. I also tried on the 2 dresses I need to decide on for Green Tie and lokk fantastic in both. Last week I even had a friend tell I was starting to look thineer. Thus I am going to keep up the excercise. I add weights last week to my workout. Just twice a week but I think this will help. I am going to try to eat really good Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The weekends are always so fun that I am not going to worry for sure about Friday and Saturday. I will try next week to get on track on Sunday night but tonight we are going to an Oscars party so I am not going to worry about it. Anyway I guess I am only medium annoyed about the weight loss quest today :)

Tuesday March 2nd

Well I weighed in last Friday and of course was basically the same. I have been between 165-168 since January. I was frustrated last week when this was the weigh in. However, after really thinking over things I am actually semi okay with this. Meaning I have not done a thing to improve my diet. I only eat 2 meals aday which will actually slow this process down. I had fast food last week...although delicious not gpoing to help with my weightloss. Thus this week I have actually decided to focus a little bit on the eating also. Of course we went out many times last week to friends houses and so the alcohol amount is not helping the weightloss either :) Thus I am taking off a few days of drinking too. Who knows maybe I'll lose 5 punds this week...I am not holding my breath on that one :)
Anyway I am now 6 months out from my 20 pound weight loss goal...something better happen soon or I may give up :)
