Bailey's Diary

Ok...this may sound dumb....but what exactly is a universal? I haven't heard of that.

I really haven't started doing any type of weights. I mostly just walk. I can't go to a gym, but I did buy some had weights...3 pounds ones. Do you think they would be ok to start with? At least for my arms I hope. I am like you ...I really want to wear tank tops this summer, so I would like to tone up my arms.

Sounds like your doing great! Keep it up! :)
 
Checking in today on the challenge that ends 02/02.... starting weight 192 ending weight 188 lost 4 lbs.....

The universal is our home gym it has the bench with the leg weights and the arm weights you pull down and has a chin up bar....

I have changed from doing treadmill every night to doing a 20min aerobic tape and a 20min upper body one day and the 20min aerobic and 20 min lower body tape. The aerobics is more do-able than the upper and lower body tape. But by end of Feb it will be easier and I will switch up again to something else for March...

Hope all you are doing well.... Thanks for posting to my diary. :) Have a great fit day today...
 
Bailey, congrats on your weight-loss for the challenge. That is awesome! Keep up the great work. And good job on changing up your work outs a bit.. Always does a body good to change it up a bit here and there!
 
I have been awol a whole month !!! I have been so busy and just not been posting. I have been able to maintain my 15 lb weight loss but need to get back exercising again.

Wrestling season is over and my 14 yr old son took 7th in state. This was his first year wrestling and I am so proud of him. He had learned quite a bit. My younger son has been released from the doctor to go back to sports and so the spring season will be filled with soccer. He is on 2 soccer teams. Both boys are in baseball. Practices and games will be keep us all quite busy and on the run.

The good Lord extended His grace towards us and provided the money to send my elder son to Lutheran High School for 9th grade and we are praising Him for that. It was not until my pockets were completely empty that He provided the payment in full. Prayer works.

My husband has been sick. He has acute bronchitis and a lung infection. If he doesnt get better in a few days the doctors want to put him in the hospital.

I really have been getting very little sleep, have not been exercising and have been eating more than my 1200 cal a day. In fact, I have fallen from the wagon :( I am going to get back on before I undo all that I have worked so hard to do.

I hope all of you are still doing well.... Feb just wasnt a good month for me and I hope to make March better.
 

Hey - don't worry about things like that it happens. You came back though! My name's Liz I joined last month and I love it here - I can't leave or else I will overeat! We're here to support you and I wish your family the best of luck it soudns like you guys are picking yourself up and I hope your husband gets better. So you've gone over 1200 a day - that's okay.. your body needs about 1500 + a day if you're not dieting so it's alright... you're keeping that weight off and I think you're dong a great job for not bouncing back even though your month has been .. discouraging. Keep your head up - you will get to your goal, I know you can do it!
 
Hi all,

I have been gone a long time. Found out a day before my 5th wedding anniversary that my husband has been having an affair for 3 years with a woman he met over the internet from another state. He said he got mad at me one night and did the one thing that he knew that would make me mad and that was to go to an adult chat room. He doesnt even remember what it was that made him mad. Needless to say, he struck up some conversations that let to flirting which led to him going up north to the same city where she was for a job interview and they consumated the affair there. Since then he has been going "fishing" 1 weekend a year and has been meeting her. I found all kinds of porno pictures of herlself she had been sending him over the 3 years. Needless to say I was shattered.

As soon as my husband confessed his migraines that had been plaguing him left. We have been going to christian counseling every Monday since end of March, trying to save our marriage and he has taken everything thrown at him.

If it was just me I would consider leaving, but we have the 2 boys 14 and 12 and the thought of me in an apt, having to get rid of the boys' dogs and the thought of putting them thru emotional turmoil and the fact that my husband is totally ashamed and remorseful is keeping us in counceling. We have changed our phone #s and he has cut her off immediately and completely.

Also, If that wasnt enough, my mother in law, who has been married and div 4 times has move in with us permanently. She has all kinds of problems. She suffered a mild stroke, but can still get around. She is bi-polar 1 and has irritable bowel symdrome. She is only 61 so doesnt qualify for medicare yet and she has no money and no where to live. She also cant take care of herself.

I could go on and on about the may sorted details but I just want to say I need to get back on the bandwagon. I have gained some weight back but still have managed to keep 10 lbs off .

bless your heart for staying... you have to do what's right for you... and I wish you all the best... It's been said before, by me, support here is about supporting the person, youare more than your weight, so feel free to dump any thoughts you have here...

Good luck - and welcome back... :)
 
Its Saturday morning 8am and I am up paying bills. Today I am really going to try to start this new way of eating again. Even though my husband says his affair had nothing to do with me (he was just stupid) I really want to lose this weight and get back to where I was when I first met him. The only catcher is that he has no desire to lose weight and get himself healthy. Even though he says he supports me he doesnt join me in this effort. He wont exercise so I am on my own.

We did buy a membership to the local gym but that is 45min away, close to where I work so mon -fri after work would be the best time. My tread mill is in a V shape form downstairs while construction is going on for my mother in laws room to be built.

I will start today get back on a 1200 cal diet. I can probably see about setting up the tread mill after the construction workers leave.

Just saw Superman. I liked the movie. My husband wanted to surprise me by taking us to Pirates of the Carribbean today, but my mother in law leaked it out. She said he never told her it was a surprise.

Did you see the pictures of Kirstie Alley in the people mag last week? I felt like that last one (in the short red dress) when I met my husband, the overweight one most of the time right now and sometimes on occassion I feel like the one on the cover. I know appearance isnt everything and my husband said my weight had nothing to do with his long term affair, I know losing weight will make me happier and more self confident

I will change my ticker back after I weigh myself this morning

I didnt get any exercise in today except general walking doing shopping, etc. Was going to go see Pirates of the Carribbean with my hubby but instead went to the tatoo parlor and got my nose pierced. I have been wanting a nose piercing for some time and finally got one today. It is the 2nd piercing I have. Read the thread on the belly ring. I looked at those and will probably do one of those when I am near my goal weight.

I am off work today because I work Sat. We made progress building the downstairs and I have found room to replug the treadmill in. Last night i did 30 min program forgot how may calories and carbs I burned and walked another 10 min. Today i did the 45min program burned 521 cal and 89.1 carbs.

I have to work on my water intake. I am trying to concentrate on 1200 cal today also.

Glad to have my treadmill back. Son has his final baseball game tonight for the summer season if I doesnt get rained out. Then soccer and wrestling start up
