The last few miles of a long journey!

Well what a lovely day:rolleyes: Had a nice walk to the park planned today with the kiddies. Maybe pack up a healthy little picnic, get lots of exercise enjoy the outdoors. It's raining. That takes care of that for today. Not one to be discouraged though I've got a little puddle jumping planned for later. :D

I feel a little sluggish right now though. I get up with my husband to get him off to work in the morning, which right now is at 3:30am cause he's working a few hours away. I did manage to get back to sleep, and then I guess just cause it was so grey and icky out we all slept in to like 10. That's very unusual for me and now I just feel blah. Gotta get the motivation going, the less I do the less I feel like doing.

Talk to you guys later, thanks again for all the positive comments :)
 
I usually can't get off on the right foot on rainy days either- I hope the puddle jumping went well! I think the next time it rains here I might have to do a little puddle jumping myself- it sounds like fun :)
 
Need a Big Push in the Right Direction

Well it's been 3 weeks since my last TOPS weigh in. There was a holiday for the long weekend and then last week when we got there someone had accidentally locked the weigh in room and we didn't have a key so no scales :( Which sucked cause I think I was (was being the operative word down about 4 lbs) Anyway this week has been crap. It's so darn hot I haven't felt like doing bub-kiss and with my favorite time of the month coming up I feel like freaking balloon. I'll be lucky if I can go in with a "turtle" (when you haven't lost or gained) tonight and I'm getting really down, and pissed off with myself. I lost 69lbs in approx. a year and now I've been stuck where I am for almost 3 months. I'll go down 5lbs go up 5lbs hear and there but it's getting really hard on me.

I know I've been getting lazy, I've had a hard time keep track of my calories, indulged in summer treats, and have been pretty much completely neglected my exercise. In a way I guess I sort of just gave up and need a real kick in the butt to get motivated again.

I'm making myself a promise. I'm going to go one week at a time here so here's my one week promise. For this week I will count my calories everyday for everything I eat. I will pick healthy choices and I will exercise everyday for at least 30minutes.

I'm asking please for you're help. If you have a free minute keep after me, send me a private message or post in here as often as you can to ask me if I'm keeping my promise. If I'm held accountable I can do this.

I'm going to make myself and out line for a menu and exercise for the week I'll post it when I'm done.

Thanks for dropping in :D

You are doing so great - don't get down on yourself... 89 pounds is incredlbe... and maintaining it is also extremely excellent...

A week is a long time.. Go Day by Day.. and you will get there... You've got the right attitude.. and you will succeed..

Having a weekly menu helps me out trememdously -- I have a little whiteboard on my fridge that I fill in -- makes decisions easy... and well - it saves me time as well...
 
So I've slacked off on the diet for the past month or so. In the long wrong I didn't gain any weight but I haven't lost any either. I just got so fed up with the constant calorie counting, water drinking, exercising crap. I just want to be a normal person and eat normal things. I've realized though that if I can just stick to it a little longer I'll get there soon enough.

I've smartened up and am working hard again. I was a very good girl yesterday and ate all the right things and counted all my calories. I even did good at work which is very hard as I work in a convenience store and am surrounded by junk food for 8 hours :( But I took a microwave dinner to work and had supper at supper time and stayed away from the temptations.

I also sat down and made myself a menu for the entire week. It makes it SO much easier to stick to eating right when I have it all laid out for me.

Yesterday I ate 1265 calories and burned off 500 in exercise (gotta love that elliptical trainer :D)

Today I ate a big healthy breakfast, which is something that has always been hard for me. I had 2 slices of bacon, 1/2 cup of no fat cottage cheese, 2 slices of multigrain toast and half a banana (I would have ate the whole thing but my 2 year old insisted on sharing) I also substituted my cream and sugar for skim milk and sweetener in my morning coffee, that's gonna take a little getting used to.

I would really like to loose 3lbs this week. I know that's a bit high but if I can do it that will put me to the lowest I've ever been and I think will help give me that extra motivation in the right direction.

Thanks for dropping buy

Look at what you have already achieved, you have done so well!! Think now is the big push to your wedding and imagine the looks on everyones faces when they see you looking amazing and slim on your wedding day!! Hope you are having a good day!
 
Spectra- Don't be so hard on yourself- I know you have big goals for yourself for your wedding day, but you look amazing right now! Don't be upset that you haven't made any progress in the past couple of months, instead be happy that you have proven to yourself that you can maintain this lower weight. If you can get back on track and lose some additional weight, Great!!!- If not, there is no reason to be disappointed in yourself. You've come so far, no one can deny that.
 
Girl thanks for stopping by my diary I want you to know you rock and you can and will reach them goals I am going to make sure!!!!!!!!

Lets rock this forum!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
You are doing SO great and an inspiration to me!!!

My boyfriend too, is very thin. He's 5'7" and 130. THIN. I find him very attractive and sadly, so does everyone else XD. I often worry about all these pretty girls that just fawn over him constantly. But he reminds me everyday that he loves me for me NOW.. not for what I want to become. I often feel silly standing next to him, since I'm big and he's so small. Have you ever felt this way?

Just look at all you've accomplished!!! I believe in you and I hope I can do as well as you have! Keep it up, so many people are cheering for you!
 
I am here, I just haven't had much time. I've been working a lot more hours the past few weeks and we've been doing some renovations on the house to boot. It's really really hard to watch the diet when I'm working 3-11pm at the store. Dinner time is so hard, I can pack a lunch but it just doesn't seem to cut it, or try to buy something sort of healthy there, but the chips and chocolate bars and pizza etc etc. get so darn tempting. I have however done very well the past 2 weeks, really white knuckled it through the tough spots and have gotten down to a new all time low! I'm so happy. I even had 2 ice cream cones, but I counted the calories and did a little extra exercises. Mmmm it was worth it.

Well I have garage to clean at the moment but I'll be dropping in on as many of you as I can in the near future. Thanks for caring :D

Talk to you soon.
