Yuck

I've been doing so great with my eating, when I think about eating a cheeseburger or something, I would rather barf. That's a good thing right?

My EasyTone shoes should be here next week or the week after! Yay for better legs and a better butt! haha

New Year, New Me!

I've been doing really well with my eating lately. It's made me feel great. (Although, I still love my coca-cola!) Lots of whole or multi-grains, healthy snacks and fruits and veggies. At lunch I try to have salad with nuts, fruit and chicken in it. At dinner, since there is always someone else preparing the meal for us, I fill my plate with 2/3's full of salad and veggies. I don't deny myself either. If I want something sweet, I eat it with my meal. You will digest your dessert with your meal. I am going to exercise 3-4 times weekly. Even if it is just for 10 minutes a day.

I have been making goals that are too drastic. I do my "routine" for a week, then quit because I realize it's just not realistic. I can't exepct myself to work out for an hour everyday, espeically when I have a good book I am reading. So, working out 10-30 3-4 times a week and just eating better are my goals. My goal is to be healthy, (an smokin hot, as well) but I am not going to build up all this hope to looking great in a month or something. It's just not going to work like that for me. I worked out everyday for an hour in high school and college, but I had a gym, TIME, and FRIENDS to help support me. Now, I am on my own, working out to a dvd on my tv at home. Awesome. So, I'll take it slow. No drastic diets...yet. No drastic goals. Just work my way up to higher intervals. I do know that it would be easier for me if I had a friend to work out with, but maybe this will be a chance for me to do something on my own.

Peppy

I have a friend, we'll call him Sonny. He's constantly giving me pep talks.

"You can do it Mycah."

"What's stopping you, but yourself?"

"I am sure you can find 30 minutes in your day to exercise."

Is he right? Of course.

But sometimes it's just funner to sit on the couch and watch "Wife Swap" sipping a nice, cold Coke.

I keep telling myself I will workout when I wake up at 630 to feed Will. But...I'm always too tired.

Then, I see a commercial, with a gorgeous woman, flat tummy and tiny waist.

I want to be healthy and cute again.

I just want it to happen on it's own.

I'll just have to muster up the energy and discipline to actually do it.

Oh...and I am giving myself REALISTIC goals.



Today's weight: 147. (Still better then when I started. Even if it is only three pounds)

Three weeks later?

Goal weight: 137

It's should be do-able, right? Right.

HCG

I've hit a plateau. Working again has drained me. I would rather sleep.

So, I remain 7 pounds lighter then before and 7 pounds closer to my goal.

I am glad I've been able to MAINTAIN the weight and not gain anymore. (The bad thing about having someone else cook for me. I don't get to munch and half fill myself on the food before I eat the meal in it's completeness.)

I have discovered a new diet I will be trying when I am finished nursing Will. It's the HCG diet and I hear it works wonders.

For now I'll try to talk myself out of napping and into working out more.

Moving

Is going to count as my exercise until I am finished putting everything away. '

I mean, it's a lot of work, Heavy lifting and such.

:P I hate moving!!

Slackin

Monday and Tuesday were cRaZy days, so I didn't ever get around to working out. I feel so grumpy those days too. Just, well, drained.

Today I did a double workout. I did a carido/sculpt and abs workouts. It was great feeling. Even though my son woke up before I was finished trying to get hot abs!

I've been doing really well with my portions. I only have one normal size serving. And, of course, I still have a little something for desert :P You can't expect me to give up the sweets. Ha! Yeah right!

It's already paying off!

Today I am having a hard time finding the motivation to work out. It seems to be a trend around these parts. I start out strong, then completely give up. That is going to have to change.

Although I am struggling with self motivation, I just weighed myself. I told myself I would only weigh myself once a week. I now see why people become obsessed with the numbers on the scale...It's great to see when you have actually LOST weight!

Just in the last week, of hardcore, everyday for an hour-an hour and a half, I have LOST 2 POUNDS! It feels great. I have felt great this past week. I find myself "glowing". I am starting to become happy with WHO I am. I am also starting to be exhilarated with the fact that if I can keep this up and be a healthy person, I will be setting a great example to my children. I want them to be active always.

To reach my goal of losing 25 pounds, if I keep up with the "trend" of losing 2 pounds a week, I will reach my goal in 12 1/2 weeks! That is right on target with the goal I have set of being back to my pre-pregnancy weight by the time by January 1st!

Today's weight: 148!
