Fluff's not-so-fluffy diary

You're doing great so far!
An hour on the treadmill? Most impressive!
I get bored to tears when I'm on my treadmill... I can only take 30mins.. maybe 45 at the most heh.

I'm with ya on the looking good.. or at least better for the summer. We can all do it! WOO!
 
Sounds like you did really great today. I agree with you that you should be done with the bad things. We have had similar luck over here lately and I beleive its time for things to turn around for the better. So heres to only good things happening and a great weight loss this week.
 
Thanks everyone for posting!! I really appreciate all the encouragement I get here everyday. Couldnt do this without ya!

Had a really nice surprise this morning when I was getting dressed. Went to get dressed and found that my jeans were all in the hamper. Not good, because I have to get the kids to school and then make it to an appointment right after. So, in desperation I tried on a pair that I had stuffed in the back of the closet bc I havent been able to fit them in years. The only reason I even still have these jeans is because I am a bit of a packrat, and it takes me forever to throw my old clothes away. (Maybe I need a support board for that! lol)

Anyway, the amazing thing is that they fit! They actually fit me. I couldnt believe it. I dont know when the last time I wore these jeans were. I am thrilled out of my mind. :) I know my motivation has been a bit lacking here recently, but if anything was going to jump start it, it's something like this! Now anytime I feel like cheating, I am just going to remind myself how it felt putting these jeans on. Just had to share that. :)


Somesaymisty - Thanks for reading my journal and for the nice words. I started this back at Christmas/New Years and I am very happy with how much I have lost so far. I did hit a long plateau once, lasting almost 3 weeks. But I have had pretty good luck eating under 1500 a day/ walking as my exercise/ and finally getting with the program and drinking enough water. The water was the hardest part for me! :)

Kate - Grrrrr......heard about the rainy weather! That means the kids are stuck indoors for a couple of days. That stinks. I know we need rain, but I also know I need my kids to play outside!! (if only for my own sanity). Maybe next week will be better.

Jelly - Thanks! Your words are encouragment are great! :)

Amunet - I find walking on the treadmill boring too. The only way I can do it is by putting it front of a tv set upstairs. At least that way I have something to watch while I walk. I have my water on one side and the remote on the other. lol. Its weird, because I started watching shows I never watched before, just because I saw them while I was walking. I got hooked on Project Runway after watching the reruns during the weekends while walking!

Zoila - Sorry to hear bad luck has been following you around as well. Grrr....ready for the bad luck to go away! Hopefully you're right and things are going to get better!! :)

Ok...off to take the kids to school. Will check back in later today to catch up on everyone's journals! :)
 
So cool about your pants fiting. How exciting cant wait till that happens to me. You must be so stoked. Keep it up your doing great and starting to reap the rewards.
 
Hey ya Fluff! Congrats on the fittin' jeans! :D Way to go!

I know all about the separate dinners for family and myself :rolleyes: been doin' it since december and sometimes it really does suck. BUT I found I got used to it rather quickly. I mean, if I want what they are having, I allow myself a bite THEN make mine - but just a bit mind you since theirs is usually so full of fat that it makes me feel sick now. You CAN do it!!

Keep up the great work!

Whooo HOOOO! Way to go U!
Super JOB! Fitting into those long forgotten pants! Congratulations!

This is the motivation you've been looking for, and what better way to find it!:p

I am so happy for you Fluff- I know just how you feel! (So did you do a little happy dance?:D ) I always do!:)

You deserve a big hug! Keep up all the hard work! It's paying off....................Cabana
 
There's nothing better than wearing your skinny pants! I have a whole closet and drawer full of skinny clothes that I can't wait to try on again! Keep up the good work. It's so inspiring for the rest of us!
 
Thanks Zoila, Bize and Cabana! It was a great feeling to put those pants on. I havent been able to wear them in years! But then I started wondering ... why was I keeping clothes that I couldnt fit for years and years? Kinda silly really. So, now I feel a new sense of motivation to clean out my closet! But ... I wonder if I should throw out the clothes that are now too big for me?? I want to, because I never plan on weighing that much again.

Bad car luck again yesterday (seriously, what is the deal??? ). I had a flat tire while I was out. Grrrrr.......I cant believe it. First my air goes out (not good in Texas), then the whole skunk fiasco, then I get a nail in my tire, and now a flat!! I have to go pick up my dumb car here in a few minutes. Please let this be the last thing that goes wrong with my car for a while.....geez!

Well, today was weigh in day, and needless to say I didnt lose any weight. I'm not surprised. I have had a lack of motivation, and havent been making the best choices. Yesterday I did awesome.... until last night when I ate a piece of cake. I dont know why, but I have caved to temptations recently that I was strong enough to say no to before. I want to say its stress related ... but I dont want to use that as a cop-out.

I was disappointed with myself, so I took some action last night. I went through my pantry and got rid of any trigger foods that set me off eating. Its weird cause not everything does, but certain foods are hard for me to control. So I got rid of those, but there is still plenty of stuff the kids like left, so I dont feel too bad about it.

I really want to get back on track. I did good with exercise yesterday, and water. It was just my eating that was off. Now if I can just get back to eating right as well....I will be back doing what I need to do.

Ps. Hubby is going to a job interview today. Please keep your fingers crossed for us. I know if this problem would get resolved, that would help things here tremendously.

Have a great Wednesday!! More rain for us today. Will be back later to check on journals ! :)
 
*fingers are crossed*:D
Morning Fluff,
Girl, I bet them jeans look great on ya!!! I'm happy for ya!!! That is such a wonderful feeling. Keep up the good work. It's hard but by putting them jeans on, it's worth it. SBy next week, I bet you would have already passed me up :D If I were you I would throw them pants that are too big for you, away. Cause it will keep you from going back up in your weight.( Unless you're like me and don't have the money to get smaller pairs:p ). Well, have a good one and try on some more jeans.. You'll be surpised
 
Hey Girlfriend Wooooooooohooooooooooooo On Fitting In The Jeans! And Hey You Are Going To Go All The Way Dont Let Them Everyday Tests Of Bad Sidetrack Ya!! Keep Up The Good Work!!
 
Thanks Jelly and Redneckwoman. I really appreciate your words of encouragement! They really help! :)

I have just had a tough time this week staying focused on losing weight. Every morning I wake up with the intention of getting back on track. And so far, I have blown it just about everyday this week. I dont know why this is suddenly becoming so hard for me to do! Grrrr.....I just wish I could get back on track like I was in January and February.

I am going to keep trying. Surely I will figure it out. I am not willing to quit, so trying is my only alternative.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day tomorrow! :)
 
I think everyone has spring fever! It seems like so many of us are feeling down and losing motivation. Thank god we have this support network though! You'll pull through this! I'm here to help if you need it. You've definately motivated me enough! :)
 
Hey Fluff,
You have done so good. You need to reach down inside and find that "something" that is going to keep you going. Those loose jeans should do the trick! I know if you feel anything like I did, It's so horrible to feel and see yourself losing control of the situation. You need to take a stand and say. THATS IT! IM GOING TO BE IN CONTROL AGAIN!;)

It's all in our minds. That's why anything is possible! Look how far you've come. I dont know that I could of come as far as you have, with being an at home mom and everything. So its obvious to me that your willpower is EXTREME! Your such an inspiration. Lets get through this together!

Hang in there (I know seasonal depression stinks) But summer is around the corner--and if we keep up all this hard work, were going to feel GREAT by then!:)
I'll check in later....................Cabana:p
 
Hi ya, Fluff :D You will get back on track! You might not have lost but you sure as heck didn't gain and thats the key :D How did hubby do at the interview?? (Keepin' these fingers crossed incase you haven't heard yet)

I hope your car gets rid of its demon soon! That really stinks! (Mine has a cracked - and traveling- windshield :mad: ) I think most are as sick of winter as we all are! LOL



Have a great weekend :D Remember : " I am in CONTROL and I am FOCUSED and I WILL succeed today" one day at a time :D
 
Fluff, don't tell me you up and disappeared! Bad things happen around here when people disappear! LOL Hope you are have a wonderful weekend with your family :D
 
As long as you wake up every morning and keep on trying then thats the main thing. Its when we give up all together that things go down hill. I vote for getting rid of the clothes that are too big for you now. A statement of faith, that you are never going back there so your getting rid of the safety net. I know you can do it, so keep on going.
 
HEELLOOOOOO????!!!!! Anybody about??? I'm lookin' for FLuff! Huh. Not here. Hope everything is okay! :D
 
Hey there Fluff,
Are you slackin'?;)
We're missing you over here. Hope to see ya back soon! We need to keep each other motivated! ...................Cabana:p
