Bailey's Diary

Thanks Jess393 :D

I really want this to be the year I get back on my feet again. Hope you did well, too :)
 
ok... here is a pic that i will post. It is me at 39 (7 years ago). I am at my goal weight. I just cant bear to put one of me on the web as I look with weight. Dont even think I have many of me packing the heat. Is that vanity? or shame? I dont know. But this will give you an idea of where I want to be....

Thanks, I normally am happy... One of the few thorns in my world is the extra lbs, but that will be going by summer. I just know it....

Great to have you on team ovation !!!! Lets rock the house !!!
 
Cant stay long. Just got back from wrestling practice and the boys are doing homework and hubby on his political forum.

Water intake 80 some oz...
Calories 1200 ish

I need to go downstairs and do treadmill 30 min fat loss program and get my Sherlock Holmes fix in today (lol)

Hope Julie is ok....
 
Hey there honey - just checking in on you and seeing how your journal is going... great job on the exercise and water!!! =) keep it up
 
Cant believe I havent posted since Jan 19th in my diary. Guess I have been just way tooo busy. Normally I have to drag myself off the website.

Sunday was the first day since I started the 1200 cal regimine that I went way over my cal intake. I probably had a good 2000-2500 cal. I had a big bowl of choc chip ice cream among other things. I did go ahead and do 35min of taped aerobics and also the 30min on treadmill but it still didnt burn off all i ate.

Oh well, back on the wagon today... Drank all my water since I worked till 9 pm I just may take the night off of exercising but I will hit it hard tomorr. I think this will make the 2nd night of exercise i have missed since i started this thing. Could be wrong though.

More later :)

I took the night off at the gym tonight, I almost felt guilty bout it, but I'm really tired, and know it would be a mistake to go all fatigued and such. Hope ya have a good workout tomorrow!!
 
the wagon is hitched and ready bailey. cmon, get back on, and lets do this!

dont you fret the couple of mess up daysl we all have em. today is brand new. 'shes back in the saddle again'
 
Yesterday did the 30min treadmill. I watched all the Sherlock Holmes I had taped, so I ended up watching American Idol which was hillarious. My younger son was downstairs with me so we played some pool afterwards. Then hubby and elder son came home from wrestling practice and all 3 worked on a couple of chin ups. I couldnt do one if my life depended on it. Guess that will be further on down the line... way further.

Just got done trying one of my old Kathy Smith low impact aerobics tapes. I know it so well I could do it in my sleep. It's the weight loss tape which combines some arm and leg movements using small weights with 40 min of low impact aerobics. I am so out of shape I didnt make it thru the whole thing. I got 3/4 thru and my body felt like lead and I could barely move it. It was definately mind over matter and my mind was fighting me the whole way. Maybe I am not ready for that one yet. Guess I will start back with the 20min time saver cadio. Better for my frame of mind.

Just read Cover Baileys Taget diet book and decided I need to try to slow my weight loss down and concentrate on losing fat. I am not sure if I lost muscle during this month but I have been exercising every day.

Today I feel a little stressed out about money. It has always been a dream of mine to send our children to Lutheran High which is a college prep high school, but costly. My elder son will be in high school next fall and we have to make a committment to a school soon. One will still be in Lutheran Elementary which also has a good size tuition. I am sure there is nothing wrong with our public school system here, but there is something about releasing my children into the public school system graduating 500 students that makes me uneasy. Also, my hubby has an opportunity to take a new job with a higher salary but he would lose his company vehicle and we only have one veh at this time so we would have to buy one which means car pmt and insurance. You will find me on my knees tonight.
 
Hello Bailey :) You are a woman with as much free time as me - almost none! LOL :D Just read your diary... you seem to be back on the wagon and doing well :D Stress sucks, I agree. I will keep my fingers crossed for ya:) Keep up the good work.:)
 
Hey Bailey. I can completely relate to the whole money/job/stress thing. I hope things work out the way you want them too. :) I like to watch TV when I am on my treadmill too. Makes the time go by faster. American Idol was pretty funny tonight. My daughter and I were laughing the whole way through! Hang in there!
 
Thanks Fluff !!!

Yeah, we are now taping King of the Hill since it comes on aroound 11:30 at night and I doze off during it... :p

I have found a gold mine in canned beans. Although a little bland, 1 can is approx 300 cal, 0 fat, 18-21 gm protein and 15-20 gm fiber.

This past week I have been eating that at work at lunch instead of meat. Still feel full and havent had a problem with gas (so far) :p And it's easier to pack....


I suppose I could spice it up with some hot sauce. May try that sometime.

More later.........
 
I am going to change the weight on my ticker today so I have to write these down to keep track.

I started the 10lb challange at 195 ends March 1
I started the challenge that ends 02/02 at 192

I am averaging about 3 lbs a week.

Son had a pin in wrestling yesterday that was very exciting. Ate a salad at Subway for lunch and used the sweet onion sauce on the side for dressing. Ended up also eating 4oz chicken tenders and gleaned 4 peanut m&ms from the bag my hubby bought yesterday.

Think I got at least 64 oz of water in yesterday and 1/2 hr treadmill. I went to bed by 10pm I was so tired. I had worked every Sat this month... 2 full days Sat and 2 half day Saturdays. Sunday, today, will be spent cleaning the house, laundry, maybe running to the grocery store. No wonder we mothers get so tired. Will squeeze in exercise and enough water today. I am determined to lose this extra weight.

Click to expand...

You need to be doing some weight training to help maintain your muscle while loosing the weight, cardio alone won't do it. how heavy are the hand weights you are using in your workout ? do you have access to a gym or weights at home or where your son trains for wrestling?

well done to your son for his pin :)
 
Thanks Trusylver :)

I have no excuse except for no time and no energy.... (Hows that?:p )

I really need to do as you suggest and get on our universal downstairs. Also need to change my routine to do a Time saver lift weights tape. I just need to start........ I want to be able to go sleeveless this summer so I need those arms to be tight....

Looks like Feb is upon us and maybe I should make that my Feb focus and throw some cardio in too each week...

:eek:
