Going to keep this short and sweet. Ok so this morning I ate so bad.. But It did keep me full the rest of the day and for dinner I just had a salad and a sushi roll... I got in a hour work out tonight too. Did the biggest loser last chance, did the entire dvd.. Tomorrow we weigh in.. I am hoping for atleast a half of a pound since I know I didn't eat well or work out alot... Tomorrow we are having a star wars watching marathon. We are down to 4-6. Both my kids love them.

Feb 25 2011

I am only in the end of my 3rd week of dieting and I am already losing my motivation to do it anymore. I just want to give up and say I am just going to be fat for the rest of my life and never be happy. I feel like I have no one to support me at home. My husband just eat what ever and wants me to eat it to. and when he makes something that smells and taste good its hard for me to resist. I wish he would get on board with me and help me out. My only supports are both 700 or more miles away.
I have been eating ok. I'm not eating as much as i was before and making better choices, like cooking with ground turkey or turkey sausage. Trying to cut out ground beef and pork sausage. Like tonights dinner I made spaghetti I used turkey sausage and whole grain pasta. It was actually pretty good. I served it with garlic bread and a Italian salad.
Guess thats all for now.. I need to just get in a better mood and get out of this funk.. :/

Feb. 23rd 2011

Ok so I got a work out in today. Got in a great walk this afternoon. But I just had to screw it up with dinner :/ We had to do some running around about dinner time, I was planning on making dinner at home. But our car decided it wanted to run out of gas even though the gage said there was still gas in it. By the time we got gas back into the car and a running around done it was 7pm. So we went to this new place that opened up her called Wheat State Pizza. Very good. But I over ate and had pop. I had a calzone with chicken, onion and green bell peppers on wheat dough, very good. My husband and I did share a house salad. But I just ate way to much.. Going to need to work even harder tomorrow to burn off this dinner.. Other than over eating for dinner the rest of the day was good atleast.

Feb. 22nd 2011

Well today got started off in the wrong way. I totally forgot about an appointment I had this morning, until this morning. Oops. Still made it there on time, thankfully. So I wasn't able to get my work out in this morning. But I ate good today and I got in a good hour walk, half of it was up hill. I stayed under 1200 calories with eating and burned off just over 900.
I am starting to notice that I am getting fuller faster. I'm not eating as much. Breakfast and lunch are easy to do with those frozen lean pockets and Jimmy Dean turkey and ham sandwiches and all those healthy choice meals for lunches. Dinners are harder to do with watching calories. I need to find a website or a cook book with all healthy recipe's. I can find some here and there but I have to look on like 10 different web pages. Would be nice to have them all in one thing.
My husband has been doing work at the Extreme Makeover House going up in Wichita Kansas. I haven't seen him much these last few days. Sometimes when he is not here with dinner I eat less. But other times I eat more. You would think it would be one or the other. Guess I might have to do with how the rest of the day went.
I just can't wait to move so or friend can finally not be living with us and I don't have to make so much food. Be able to buy like fish and stuff with out having to feed him too. He eats enough for 2 people. He has just got to go. Come on and hurry up and call and let me know we got the apartment or not, getting tired of waiting.

Feb. 21st 2011

So the start of my 3rd week of attempting to lose weight went fairly good. Yesterday went much better though. But I did stay in my calorie range. I just need to work on lowering fat intake and salt intake. Those 2 I seem to always be over on, normally not by much. My goal is to stay around 1500 calories. Today was 1,436 calories. Not to bad I guess.
I been craving pop alot these last few days. I used to never drink pop then started up again. I hate that I did. We can buy a 2 litter and it will last a week. I would only have one 8 oz glass a day. That was a few weeks ago. A few years ago I would drink a 2 litter a day. Yesterday I did have a Pepsi Max since there is no calories. I know its still not good for you but it helped with that craving. Think I am going to try the carbonated flavored waters. Its still just water just carbonated so it will be like drinking a pop. There are just days I just don't want water.
I did the Biggest Loser Last Chance DVD today. It still kicked my butt. But today I was able to keep up and only had to stop once for water. Not to bad. Its a great work out. I am always drenched with sweat by the end. I also did alot of going up and down stairs doing laundry and going through stuff today. I'm just glad my legs don't feel like jell-o any more :)
So I have 6 different work out DVD's. I have 3 Biggest loser, a cardio max, power sculpt, and the last chance. I have the Julian Michaels 30 day shred. A Denise Austin Fat burning. And a core one, which works mainly the core. I think I might alternate weeks with them. Like this week for 5-6 days I will do the Last chance work out. Next week do the Shred, following week do the cardio and sculpt then do the Denise Austin one. Core one I'm not going to worry about until I lose much more weight. Figured by alternating them it will help keep me from getting bored with just one. It sounds good. We shall see how well it works out.
Well thats all for today.
