Just Checking Back in . . .

Holding myself accountable . . . I figured that making a weight ticker would be a good way to see my progress because I am not seeing the progress from day-to-day, but when I gain weight I notice, a lot!   Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Diet Plans"] Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Diet Plans   [/url] So I made this and will make another for a short term goal. I really need to stick with the ten pounds a month weight loss plan. That will make me happy and I will see progress that way. I need to structure my meals more and get my butt to the gym more than twice a week.   I just did the math, too, and 36 pounds is 25% weightloss from where I was at my highest to where I am now. That's good remeber that.   Okay so here is my small goal . . . Currently 240, 25% more of the weight I want to lose is 35 more pounds, for a total of 71 pounds lost. Let's try to get under 200 pounds. Lose 40 more pounds to be at 198. Get there by Anthony's Birthday, September 18th. That is a really ambitious goal and is twice what you can lose each month, but even if you don't get there the progress will be awesome.   So it is Thursday, I have lost 4 pounds as of yesterday, and this morning i'm a pound heavier. NO MORE ICE CREAM! Remember to eat only what you can not as much as you want. Stick with the smaller portion. you haven't been hungry in a long time. Eat a banana for dessert instead of ice cream, and figure out how you can be happy with less on your plate. Use a smaller plate, that worked before, it will work again, just stick with it.

Very Frustrated . . .

I got on the scale last night, which I knew was a bad idea. I just got back from a week of "vacation." I worked out on saturday for the first time in a couple of weeks and felt really good, but felt my double-chin coming back so I hopped on the scale. I gained 3 pounds and am not happy.   Abby! Get Back on the Bandwagon!   I hate feeling like I'm starting over. But here I am again, starting over. Granted it isn't as bad as a couple of months ago, where I ignored my scale for almost a whole year, but non-the-less, starting over.   I'm not eating a whole lot, so my band is still at a great restriction, it is the fact that I sneak treats. I need to stop sneaking treats. I need to get back ont he food log. That keeps me accountable each day. The scale is only keeping me accountable each Friday. No more icecream, no more cookies, no more making treats for Anthony and then eating them like I can.   I know this will be an easy transition. I don't really want those treats. I just need to stop justifying it. Stress is not going to be an excuse anymore. No more fast food. Be diligent with my food choices and even though I'm doing well I could be doing better.   No more excuses: Get my ass to the darn gym! No more icecream, brownies, etc! Use my food log! Be good, I will be happier in the long run! Use this blog to vent and be an emotional wreck! - that is an acceptable outlet   I need to be my own hero! Live for me, Be happy for me, Put as much time into me as I do into others. Going to the gym, walking the dog more, and eating better will make me feel better about me. My happiness is the best motivation!

My New Goal: Halloween

After a year of having my band, I have made little progress and am seriously frustrated. I have found this past week that going to various forums have helped put things into perspective and also give me a second wind regarding being proactive with my band.   I am almost done paying for it, well most of it, and I can't believe that I was stress medicating again, with food.   I've been good this week. Trying to stick with my guidelines: no drinking half hour before or after eating, smaller prtions, and try to stay under 1200 calories. I've been researching fill doctors in my area so I won't have to take a full day off work to see Dr. Feiz. Plus I made myself a monthly food and exercise log so I can actually track my calories, protien and fat intake.   I need to get my butt to the gym more. As much as I love Anthony I can't let his being tired after work, keep me from exercising. (I always feel better after a good work out).   My goal as of today, that I will work towards, is being at a sexier weight for Halloween. I want to feel good about myself and not feel out of place when I walk in somewhere with Anthony. Whenever I want ice cream I will look at that coop drawing and know that the feeling of looking good for halloween is going to feel better than any ice cream craving or massive sugar binge.   Be good and stay on track! I will feel better in the long run in more ways than I can even imagine now. Baby steps still get you there!
