Happy Saturday!

Happy dance time...

Except I'm not going to post THAT video...at least not until I'm dancing around at 150!

Previous random weight: 236

TODAY:........234.5

Granted, it's happy news, but not EXCITING news as I really didn't DO anything.

Well, I did drink more water this week, and made some better food decisions.

So hey, give credit where credit is due!

Go me!

I wanted to throw some exercise into my life but my knee is ridiculous.

So this week I'm just going to focus on water and food.

I am going to ROCK this weight loss shiz!

SlackER!!!

Several months always seem to pass and I look at myself and realize that AGAIN I didn't do ANYTHING and I'm STILL exactly the same.

UGH.

I wasted MONTHS.

AGAIN.

So what do I do now?

One foot in front of the other, right?

Stepping out.

I'll weigh in again tomorrow.

Last I checked, a week a go, or two, or twelve?

236.

GASP.

Mmhmmm.

I'll weigh in again tomorrow.

Let the gasping commence.

Take THAT Obesity!

I had a physical done last Friday. My first one since before I had kids. (bad girl!)

The exciting part of this appointment was that I had lost a bit of weight! It was a good week. I ate well. Drank more water. Exercised a few times. So I hop on the scale and it says 232.7. Woohoo!

Then came the dreaded BMI chart. My doctor dint draw attention to it, but it was on the wall behind me and I couldn't help myself.

Lo and behold, there was a breakthrough! That little bit of weight loss had taken me down from extremely obese to just plain old everyday obese!

SCORE!

It's the little things, folks.

However, this excitement is not going to last, I predict. I weigh in again tomorrow.

But today? Me and my obese self are feeling pretty good about things.

Bring. It. On.

Today marks the beginning of my battle with the LB's.

Okay, that's not really true. It began over 6 years a go.

That fact alone makes me want to throw up.

SIX YEARS?!??! And I think I'm being nice to myself on that one. I might be more like 8 years. That's 1/3 of my life, just about.

WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN!??!?!

WHY?!?!?

I was super fit (and super cute!) in high school. I played three sports, trained all year, every sport had an off-season conditioning program and camps to attend, plus the teams I played on in the summer. I never stopped moving. I ate whatever I wanted!

*sigh* It was fabulous.

Then off to college I went. They had a McDonald's ON campus - heaven! I'd run down there and get me a two cheeseburger combo meal, large (duh!) with a coke. Yum!

That was really the only running I was doing, too...

And well, here we are. 6 or 7 or 8 years later. Plus a good 100 of those damn LB's.

And two beautiful children, might I add.

Yeah, I totally use them as my scapegoat. "You should have seen me before kids! I was smokin'!"

Not. The poundage was occurred BEFORE the kiddos came along. But I won't correct you. Think how you will!

So I started again. And again. And again to lose these damn LB's.

And then I started AGAIN yesterday.

One of these times it'll stick, right?

Here's hoping.

I hopped up on my scale yesterday.

Helloooooo 236. That was lovely.

Then I did a half hour on my Wii Active. It's bad if the low moderation is making you cry.

It doesn't help when your two year old is trying to help with the squats and pulling you lower and lower and lower...

Pain.

But hey, step one in the right direction?

Right?

As I sip my coke...

One step at a time.

Busy, busy!

More on the productive side today!

Breakfast: two pieces of toast

Lunch: McDonald's

Dinner/Snack: raisins and a banana

Today's problem was lack of time and lack of food. We went shopping late this evening, so things will improve tomorrow in the food department!

Water: 24 oz.

Exercise: none

I mismanaged my time this evening. I need to work on that. I'm so exhausted, but have so much to do! I NEED to make the time for myself and my body. It desperately needs it.

Tomorrow's Goals: drink 24 oz of water, exercise for 30 minutes.

Goodbye weekend!

The weekend is over. Thank goodness!

Tomorrow, I log everything.

Tomorrow, I drink water.

Tomorrow, I exercise.

Tomorrow, I focus on getting a good night's rest.

And for once, "tomorrow" won't just be some future date, it'll be the here and now.

I WILL DO IT.

Saturday's update.

Weekends are my downfall. That's the main reason I choose to weigh-in on Saturday mornings, before all the nonsense can occur.

Had a good breakfast this morning. Egg over-medium on toast with a slice of cheese and a little mayo. It has quickly become one of my favorite go-to morning meals!

We skipped lunch in lieu of a shopping excursion.

Dinner was out at On The Border. I had never eaten there before, and it was quite good! We all split some queso and chips. My meal was a plate of chicken enchiladas with cheese and a cream sauce.

Besides walking through the store, I had no exercise today.

The one positive was that I had no pop at all! I had a glass of cranberry juice with breakfast, lemonade with dinner, and water throughout the day. It's not a large amount, but I'll end up with a total of 24 oz before I go to sleep.

This behavior isn't what will make changes in my life and in my body.

The next two days will be hard, as we'll be away from home. But there's no point in "waiting" to start anymore. I keep waiting and waiting and putting it off, and here we are. 235 pounds later.

No more waiting.
