Can I Do It???????????????

Ok. So I weighed myself this morning. My scale said 184 lbs. Which is 3 more pounds more than last week.

3 weeks ago I was 178 lbs. So that is a 6 lb gain in 3 weeks. That means I need to work harder to get where I want to be. I am disappointed in myself for letting me get that far away from my goal.

I did my exercises this morning and I hope I can go back to what i was doing before. Which was exercising 6 days a week.

I am once again watching and thinking about what I am eating and am writing down everything I eat and being very truthful about it.

I had a good day today! But for some reason I have this problem. As soon as dinner is over all I seem to think about is “what can I eat next?” During the day I can control my hunger but in the evening my willpower seems to go away. Like right now all I can think about is eatong some jelly beans ( even though I have already had some) and i know that I am not even hungry but I keep thinking that a couple more won’t hurt me. But they will.

I am starting fresh once again. My new goals is to be at 172 lbs by the end of June and I need all the support I can get to keep me on track.

Still Struggling

I know I said I was going to post every day, but I’ve been having some real trouble with my Internet connection.

However, I supposed that’s just as well. I haven’t been doing very well really.

I weighed in today and was 166.7. So, in a week, I’ve only managed to lose 0.6 of a pound.

Truthfully, I simply haven’t been that good.

But, I will try again!

Okay, Let’s Try This Again!

On Thursday, May 14th, we celebrated my hubby’s birthday at Dolce Vita here in Eleuthera and threw caution to the wind. This restaurant is simply fabulous and we didn’t want to worry about calories as this was our first time eating here.

Paolo and Manon have created a very cozy atmosphere and Paolo is an amazing chef. We started the night with a couple of drinks – a Bahama Mama for Geoff and a Yellow Bird for me. Then we had appetizers – grilled portobello mushrooms and conch spring rolls. On to the main course – Geoff had venison and I had pork medallions parmagiana. Then came dessert – OH! MY! GOD! Geoff had an Italian version of Mille Feuille (not sure of the right word in Italian) served with freshly made ginger gelato. I had molten chocolate cake (very dark chocolate) served with a freshly made gelato called Kiss-Kiss which is a mixture of chocolate, peanut butter and almonds.

Everything we had was made by Paolo and Manon, including the gelato.

It made for a very special evening.

We had already decided, though, that come Friday we were seriously back to dieting. And, that’s exactly what we did.

I weighed myself on Friday morning and was 167.3! Yes, that’s up, I think even from my starting weight for this blog.

However, I weighed myself this morning and I was 165.6. So, I’m definitely headed in the right direction.

Geoff and I have decided to try to lose 10 lbs in 3 weeks. Given the amount of weight we both need to lose, this is not an unattainable goal.

As I have now taken to weighing myself daily, I will try to post daily. I’m hoping that if I slip even a little then weighing myself daily will help me get back on track more quickly.

I Am Back In The Game!!!!!

I know that I haven’t written on here in a while. But I am back and doing great.

Since I last wrote on here I have lost 3 lbs. I am now 178 lbs and it feels great. I am starting to feel bones again. LOL I have ribs again and I have hip bones. It is amazing.

I have given up on Weight Watchers. I don’t seem to be doing all that good on the online version. I find that if I cheat I don’t put it on the site then that just screws me up for the whole week.

I am trying something else now. I got this book called My Daily Diet Journal from Amazon.ca and by using that I lost 2 lbs this week. It is a book where you right everything you eat down and then put in the calories, carbs, protein, fiber and fat. I went to another site called sparkspeople.com and it tells me how much of each I should gat a day. So with writing it down and seeing where I am at really helps me stay on track.

I also got myself a Yoga DVD for beginners and it is really good. I didn’t know that Yoga can really work your muscles. I have only tried it once but it is really good and the next day my muscles were a bit tender.

I am so excited that i am in the 170′s. I haven’t been this small in about 7 years and that was only for a little while. then I shot right back up again.

Slow but steady and mostly sure !

I am down another 1.4 lbs  for the week.  I ate badly on one day but still lost!  I am not too chatty sorry   Summer is coming and I am determined to get down to where I want to be!

More Than Two Weeks

Wow! It looks like it’s been more than two weeks since I posted last.

We’ve been so busy getting our Images of Eleuthera DVD done (it’s ready to ship now!) and working on our online store – Green Bamboo Products, that I’m afraid I’m just let my diet go to the wayside. Well, maybe not totally. I now know the basics and am more careful with fat in particular.

Anyway, I decided I better weigh myself this morning as we have company arriving on Tuesday so I won’t be watching things very closely next week either.

I weighed in at 164.4 this morning. That’s a 1.1 lb. gain, but I guess it’s not so bad for more than two weeks of being “bad”. I still have an overall weight loss of about 7 lbs.

My daughter and my sister are still doing great and continue to encourage me – thanks, guys!

I’m trying to get back on track. I WILL get back on track!

Hungry Girl

I have found the coolest site for great recipes and weight loss tips! I found it in the Women’s World magazine last week. It is called hungrygirl.com and it is soo awesome! I have ordered their cookbook called hungry girl 200 under 200. It has over 200 filling, healthy and delicious recipes under 200 calories ! It is very similar to weight watchers and weight watchers is sort of endorsing it!

I had a good week this week,, I managed to go down 1 and a half pounds and am happy with that !

I Am Not Done …. I will Lose 2 Lbs This Week

So I haven’t been doing all that great since March. Since the middle of March I have lost only 2 pounds. I am not very happy with my self. I know that I can do this cause i have lost 20 pounds. I just seem to have gotten in a rut. But I am now going to get myself out of that rut.

I am very determined to lose 2 pounds this week. I am going to try really hard to get back to eating right and exercising. If I don’t lose 2 pounds this week. I am going to have to come up with a punishment for myself because I am not going to let myself lose all of the good work I have done to this point.

I gained a pound this week. So I am 181 pounds. So that means Next week I need to be at 179 pounds. Which will hopefully keep me motivated because I will be under the 180 mark. Since I had my first daughter I have only been under 180 once and that was after I had my second daughter and that didn’t last very long.

Being Sick Is Really Helping!

So today I am feeling a bit better. I don’t have anymore pain but my stomach is still a bit upset. I went to the grocery store this morning and I bought less than I usually do because everything that I looked at made my stomach flip. So this week is going to be a good week due to my not eating much but I am not yet able to do my exercises because I am still feeling a bit week. Going to the store took a lot out of me and I was kind of shocked because I felt great when I left but just that little bit of effort took a lot out of me so I don’t  think that I will be getting my exercises in this week.
