Good Morning All...

I was looking over my weight loss history, and I've moved from angry at myself to sad. I'm back where I was last year in June. When I think about how optimistic I was then about this journey, and then look at where I am now, it's really upsetting. I worked so hard through the summer last year, and I let all that work amount to nothing. This isn't a pity party, but maybe something akin to grief at what I took from myself.

I am hoping that by this June I have things far more in hand than I do now.

Monday recap: Minor victories, minor failures. I got in all my water, and did my morning walk as well as walked for fifteen minutes after both breakfast and lunch. I'm struggling with getting in a short walk after dinner. Must try harder. Food wise, my only poor choice was to share in my kids' snack yesterday morning (goldfish crackers... I'm a sucker for salty snacks). Breakfast was Red River cereal with a few dried cranberries, a teaspoon of truvia, and splash of milk. Lunch was some raw veg (grape tomatoes, carrots, celery), 1/3 of an apple, and a chicken salad wrap. Dinner was a roast beef wrap (horseradish cream cheese, roast beef, lettuce, sautéed peppers & onions), a few fries, and salad with 2 tbsp Italian dressing.

Today should be another normal-ish day. It's Shrove Tuesday, so dinner is going to be on the heavier side. Pasta with peppers, onions, carrots, chorizo, and chicken in a cream sauce. I have a plan for lightening up the creaminess, but there is also dessert to deal with. A variation on King Cake.

If there ever was a day when I needed to make sure to get in an after dinner walk, it's today!

Good Morning!

I think I did pretty well yesterday, given the temptations that I had before me.

Sunday Recap: I did a 45 minute walk first thing in the morning, and then walked for 15 minutes after breakfast and again after lunch. I got in all of my water (6 x 24oz), and the only snacking I did consisted of a couple of hard boiled eggs that didn't peel nicely when I was making deviled eggs. As I suspected, my Oscar night dinner was a bit of a challenge, but I think I did ok. I really tried to load up on the veggies (no dip), and on the deviled eggs. I did have some of the wings and some of the puffs, but not as many as I would have had a week ago.

One struggle from yesterday, and I am counting it as a victory of sorts, was that I really REALLY wanted something sweet after dinner. All I had going through my head was an image of a mint oreo blizzard. And I'm not normally a mint and chocolate person. Thankfully, it was far too cold to go out last night, and I didn't have to rely on my pathetic will-power.

Today, being Monday, I'm looking forward to a normal day. I've walked for 30 minutes and jogged for 12 so far. I'm going back to my high-fiber cooked cereal for breakfast (Red River... very yummy!), will likely have a chicken salad sandwich for lunch with some veggies, and dinner tonight is roast beef wraps, loaded with veggies, and a salad. I have housework on the agenda, and also hope to get in 15 minutes of walking after each meal.

The only real challenge I see ahead of me is that my husband will be working overtime all this week, and I may struggle with temptation after dinner. Thankfully, there really isn't anything too dangerous in the house.

First and foremost, thank you to everyone who commented and supported my post from yesterday. Your kind words helped quite a bit to help boost me out of the pity party I was having.

Saturday recap: I walked a total of one hour and did 15 squats. I got in 6 large (24oz) glasses of water. And my food victory was that even though I made fries for my family for dinner, I only ate 4. Lunch was not the greatest (2 slices of frozen pizza and some sliced cucumber) but I did manage to get through the day without snacking, which has been a huge weakness lately.

I spent a lot of time thinking yesterday, and I have developed a list of truths for me...

1. When I am physically active, I am more productive in my day-to-day life. I am more likely to get through my to do list and feel good about the condition of our home, and who I am as a wife and mommy.

2. I HATE workout videos. The chirpy leader, the schmaltzy smiles of his or her back up group, the elevator music... blech. If I have to force myself to use a workout video to exercise, I just won't do it. I am better off if I come up with my own routine, and do it while I watch a favourite tv show, I'm more likely to get it done. And not be watching the clock the entire time.

3. When I eat what I should, limiting my carbs and keeping my blood sugars in my target zone, I am a happier, more even-keeled person. I don't have the mood swings and massive carb-crashes that make me feel like a slug.

4. Counting calories is not my thing. I'm much more concerned about my carb numbers, as they relate to my blood sugars. So, I don't think that I will use the food tracker here (I never really have, and I did very well without it last year), but instead I will go back to tracking my carbs on my own spreadsheet.

As for today, I have a small challenge ahead of me. It's Oscar Sunday, and as I always do, I have planned a dinner of appetizers and nibbles so that I can enjoy the show and my family can still be fed. I have a few plans in place to help me. Instead of bringing the food out to the living room and setting up a buffet of high-fat, high-carb appies, the food will definitely stay in the kitchen. I will be less likely to unconsciously eat if I have to get up to get more. I am also going to put together a large plate of veggies, and I'm going to make devilled eggs (very little mayo, lots of spice). There will still be chicken wings and pizza puffs, but I WILL limit myself.

I hear my wee-lings stirring. It's time to get going for the day.

Well... after 141 days of not being here, I have managed to gain an obscene amount of weight. Honestly, I can say that the beginning of my end was Halloween, and it just kept going downhill, through Christmas and New Year, and on to Valentine's day. But no more! I am sick of this. The new jeans that I bought a few months ago are now getting uncomfortable, and I REFUSE TO BUY BIGGER clothes again. No way in hell!

I started small this morning. I walked/marched in place for 45 minutes while watching tv. It's too damn cold for me to walk outside. I need to get myself a new pedometer, as my old one broke a few months ago. I am hoping to get myself back on track before the snow and ice melt, so that as soon as it's a decent temp out there (not -40C) I can get back to walking (and using my poles).

I'm mad at myself, and I think I've finally gotten to the point where I can't stand it anymore. I managed to lose just shy of 75lb last year, and in four months, I managed to gain back a third of that. How pathetic.

Goals for March... walk at least 45 minutes every day in the house. Do light weights 3 times a week. Get back on limiting my carbs. Track my water intake. Lose 10 pounds.
