I didn't mention on yesterday's post that I'd lost 1.5 pounds when I weighed myself. So, a pound and a half less of me to love, YEAH! This morning I was another .5 less. So, all is not lost after my pizza craving. I don't know what it is with me, eveytime I even think the word "diet" I want pizza.
I figured out what happened yesterday. Scott and I had an appointment in Greenville at 9:30am and I skipped breakfast. Then I got too hungry and it screwed me up for the whole day. When I get too hungry I make BAD choices. So, mental note on not getting too hungry.
I was talking to my friend Ann this morning and we both agree that we miss having the energy we used to have. At a time when a mom needs an unlimited amount of energy just to survive the day, we feel like hell because of our weight. So, I'm two pounds closer to the dream. Maybe I should make a wish list.
- I want to have more energy.
- I don't want to be embarrassed to wear a swim suit at the beach.
- I want to wear some of the clothes I've been saving for the last 8 years (because I was going to start my diet on Monday and get back into my favorite clothes.) Yeah, right.
- I want to have sex during the day without all my clothes on. (With my husband, of course)
- I just want to look good.
Just a few of my goals. I didn't exercize yesterday so it won't happen if I keep that up. It was raining all evening and I used it as an excuse not to do anything. I have a treadmill downstairs, for crying out loud. Scott and I planned on playing tennis while the kids were at football camp but it didn't happen. Again, the rain thing. So, I'll drag my sorry ass out tonight and walk. I don't lose another pound if I don't walk. I could starve myself and not lose a pound if I don't exercize. Too bad typing and talking on the phone didn't burn more calories.
hey lady!
ReplyDeleteit's me kathy. Just saw your email and read all your blogs. I know you can do this. My goal for the month of june is to walk everyday - no matter what - for at least 20 min. 3 coworkers have lost a ton of weight on WW but they have or had done it for a year!!! They tried every time a new session started for me to join but I have refused. I already know portion control I am just lazy. We will have to encourage each other. Keep your chin up.
Hey Kathy!
ReplyDeleteThat's great that you have a walking goal! Scott and I have started to walk and it feels pretty good. I hear ya about the portion control. 14 gallons of icecream = 1 portion! Right? LOL! I told Scott the other day that I can't believe how little our bodies need to actually function. When you look at what a portion actually is, it's not much. At least you have a grasp of what portions are! Please, I was in the dark about the reality of portion control then I'm Mrs. Lazybones on top of that. I've only ever counted calories and it wasn't working for me. I was starving!
Scott told me that Marshall and his wife are doing weight watchers. Remember they do a diet challenge at work? I guess Marshall has dropped 30 pounds!!! That's what got me to a meeting. I just went to one basically to get the book and the points slider. It was too social and not enough help in my opinion, but I wanted the materials. So, here we are.
Thanks for the post, I appreciate that my friends are sharing! Oh, and I'll be keeping my chin up....my double chin! LOL.
