Week 15 and back on track……

I am determined to lose more weight. I have been on weight watchers for about 24 weeks this upcoming Saturday. I am so excited to push myself this week and really go for it. I need to lose another 70lbs adleast. That number seem so big. i try not to focus on the big number, but I can’t help it. I saw a good friend of mine from college and she does WW also and she looks great. I mean as soon as she got out of the car I just couldn’t stop looking her up and down. She is such an inspiration. Now granted she does not have to loose as much as I do, but she says she is sticking to the plan. I am trying to find out what I can do to lose more weight and still follow the weight watchers plan. I know I could go back to the healthy weigh diet and loose the weight fast again, but I don’t want to do that again especially if that includes no white breads and pastas.. I love my pasta. Any ideas. I will listen to just about anything right now.

 I am not trying to beat myself up, but sometimes I can’t. my husband said today that I look great and to stop comparing myself to others. I am going to really focus on not doing that and just being me.

 I am here for the long haul so get use to seeing me on BS alot more.

Day 11 and I have some bad news and need help

Today was great in regards to my eating habit. I had lots of veggies and stayed within my cal range. I haven’t worked out today and yesterday so I need to get back on track.

 On the other hand my husband and I of 5 years I think are going to split up. I have no one besides a few friends to talk to about it and I consider all of you my buddies friends. I never thought this would happen to me and I am deeply saddened it is. We have a 4 year old son together and that makes it even harder. I don’t want to be alone for the rest of my life and I feel it we split up and divorced I will just be a single mom and that is a turn off for some. I just want to get some advice from women who have been in a similiar situation. Anything will help. I am having a hard time getting the concept of being “alone” out of my head.

Thanks again for all the support I have been given. :(

Day 10 and a little bit better

Well today was alright. I did not work out today I needed a break. I will work out or try to work out adleast 5 or 6 days a week.

What does everyone else do? Let me know.

I also had spaghetti with ground turkey and it was delicious. Didn’t have any greens with it, but I had lots of tomatoes in there and I think that helped. I also had a plum and it was great.

 Well everyone I will let you all know if I hear anything about the job. You all rock.

Day 9 and I need your help please

So today was a good day I had a great dinner filled with veggies and fruit. I loved every bit of it. I also did not feel like working out, but I did for 56 mins. This is such a great feeling. Thanks again from the support from everyone. This site is a great feeling for sure. I try and support as many blogs as I can, but their are times where I don’t get to as many as the day before and I apologize to everyone for that.

 OK in my title I talk about help that I need. Well it seems that the position I applied for through DHS they are starting to call my references. So guess who is the first person they call. MY BOSS.. I couldn’t believe it. I was completely shocked. My boss walks into my office and says so I just got a call for a reference for you on a job. I lost it. I didn’t know what to say. I froze. She had asked me why I never told her and I told her it is because I thought she would be mad at me and also start looking for someone to replace me. She said that is my problem for feeling that way and I should have just been open and honest with her. I just couldn’t. I have my family to think about and I cannot go without having a job.

I am so upset considering she has done that to someone that use to work here before. What a hypercrit I say. I don’t know what to do. I really don’t want to go to work tomorrow.

 Can you let me know what you think and what I should do? Am I in the wrong? If it was her to do you think she would have done the same for me. No!!!

Day 8 and great beginning to the week

I did great today and man it felt good. I had lots of fruits and veggies today and even ate more veggies then meat and side dish for dinner. I felt so good about what I ate. I even made my husband the same plate as mine, but included more veggies since he said he wanted some help on losing weight as well. I did notice today that I had lower cals today than I would expect. I also checked out a site that shows how many cals I should eat and I should be about 2000 considering how big I am not and how much I work out. So if I always shoot for 2000 and burn between 400-700 a day working out I will be right where I need to be.

 I also had an interview last Friday for a great position with the Department of Human Services. This position would do so much for me and our family including benefits so everyone please pray for me or if you don’t pray say a good thought.

 Thanks again for everyone’s support throughout this process. I have gotten a lot of encouraging and great buddies throughout this site so again THANK YOU :)

Day 7 and it was fun and enjoyable

Today was my cheat day and I enjoyed every minute of it. I had some bar-b-que. It is so weird how much I look forward to my cheating day. I am back on for my WW points tomorrow.

Thanks everyone for all your encouragement.

Day 6 and man I am so upset at my weigh in

So today I was weighed in at WW. I only lost 0.2lbs. I know it is better than gaining, but I am so irritated. The worst thing about it is, is my friend lost over 4 lbs this week. I know that I am on my womanly so that might be some of the reason  why I lost so little.

Does anyone have any idea if one should gain or lose depending on whether or not you are on your period. Hopefully next week I will lose alot more. So as of my 22 week on WW I have lost 34.2lbs.

 Thanks again for all your support.

Day 5 begins and my cramps seem to be worse

Well yesterday was good. Even though my cramps were killing me and I didn’t want to work out I did. I did 58 mins of weight and cardio and it felt like it was my first day trying it. I finished it though. I also had a, brace yourself for this, burger. OMG…. It was so good homemade. I tried to make myself feel good, by using low fat cheese on it, but oh man. I loved every bit of it. I had the points to do it, but the patty alone was 12 points pretty much my whole work out. Is that bad? It was so worth it though. I felt I deserved it and shouldn’t deprive myself from little things like that. I still am getting really depressed with the cals thing. I mean I am on WW and I don’t use cals only points, but when I sat down and wrote done my cals it was between 1800 and 2000 which is insane to me. I know I have over 100lbs to lose and I am only 5′6, but dang that number is killing me.

Should I still be focusing on the cal intake if I am on WW and they want you to focus on the points. I eat all my veggies and fruit and water and all that stuff I just want to be careful.

Let me know what you all think. Also I have one day where I cheat and eat anything I want and I still have been losing weight. I heard that was a good thing, but want to know others opinions.

Thanks again for all the support.

Day 4 and monthly.. They don’t mix well

Well as you can tell from my title I am officially on my womanly. I hate it. I wanted to work out this morning and OMG I couldn’t even get out of bed. I had cramps  soooo bad last night and man I am not feeling good now. I just don’t feel real motivated today. I am trying to drink water and eat, but the food just doesn’t sounds good. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stay active and motivated when you are on your womanly?

Thanks everyone :(

Day 3

Man I love this site. I feel like I am really at home. I am doing great so far and feel so much better about myself knowing I am not going through this alone. Today is going good so far. I had malt meal w/ tbsp of Brummel butter and Splenda w some milk for lunch a Kellogg’s 90 cal bar for snack had Mongolian grill which consisted of chicken and veggies and 1/2 cup rice for lunch and tons of water. I am so full. I have a nectarine for later if I ever get hungry, but who knows. Again I was lazy to get up and job this morning. I didn’t get to bed until 1am seeing it was so hot out last night, but no excuses I still should have done it. Dang it. I will work out tonight though. I do the firm D.V.D.’s and LOVE THEM. I feel so slender after my work out. Do some of you work out twice a day? Is that bad for you or not. There are certain days I just feel I can go for hours, but don’t want to take it overboard. I have to be careful. Once I ran and my heart rate got to 203, it might however had been a bad reading, but that still is ridiculously too high.

If any of you workout twice a day on somedays can you tell me what you do and your suggestions for me on what not to do. I would like to try yoge or pilates, but the mess is so hard and I am not flexible. I am all ears though.

Well have a great day everyone :) and thanks again for your support.
