Well today im going to try to eat similar amount of calories and exercise and see what happens.   9:30 am Breakfast: Atkins + Unjury, SF chocolate pudding.   12:00 pm Lunch: 1/2 can tuna, 3-4 T. miracle whip, 1/2 avocado cubed and mixed in with tuna and mw, 15 Kashi crackers.:hungry: yumm I liked this meal, next time I think I'd add in a cubed tomato.   6:00 pm Supper: 1/2 cup pork roast, 1 c. Baby red potatos, a bite of carrot, a few bites of cooked onions.   Vitamins: 2T. liquid multi, 1 Calcium chew, 1500 mcg biotin   Water: >80 oz.   Exercise: Treadmil, 25 min 3mph.   Goal: Exercise more!!

Holy Moly! -2lbs!

Woooot woooo! Another 2 lbs. down today. Its amazing what exercise does for me. I have never in my life realized the impact a little bit of exercise has on my weight. LOL I know its common practice to say not to weight yourself daily but, my goodness how can I not? lol. The funny thing about me is that I always am encouraged by the scale. If it doesn't move downward or God forbid moves upward im like 'eh no biggie' but if it moved downward im over here doing cartwheels and ready to have a orgasm over it LOL. EXERCISE is key for me.:clap2:

Good Exercise, Bad Diet = no weight loss :(

I've been exercising sooo diligently, but I just can't seem to stop eating junk. I mean im not eating candy bars but last night for instance I ate some raviolies out of a can. They weren't even that good! grr im mad at me. Then I proceded to eat a bologna sandwich on cheap white bread. And then topped it off with 2 vanilla puddings. Everything I ate was completely unnutritious and pointless unless you are trying to add fat on your body which I so desperately don't want to do. On the up side I've been sooo good at exercising. Im completely unfilled and I really need to get a fill. When I can't eat much it seems to motivate me to eat better. Mostly because I love my hair and worry that if I get vitamin deficient I'd lose it or something lol. Im a mess..

Getting Ready to Hybernate!

I read someones journal (Moorless) and she mentioned this time of year your body wants to put on extra weight for the winter, and I am so feeling that today. Im craving starchy fatty foods! I will not succumb to its pull however, instead I will journal .. and exercise!   7:30 am Breakfast: Atkins + Unjury.   1:00 pm Lunch: LQ Swedish Meatballs, a couple bites of left over taco meat.   5:00 pm Snack: SF chocolate pudding.   7:00 pm Supper: 1/2 a steak grilled, 3/4 cup potatoes, 1/2 cup green beans.   Vitamins: 2 Tbs. multi, 1 Calcium, 1500 mcg biotin.   Exercise: 15 Min 3mph 5% incline, 10 Min. 3.3mph 5% incline, 5 Min. 4 mph 0% incline.   Water: >70 oz.   I just got done exercising too! Yippee, I really pushed myself today. When I got on the scale it said 207.6... then later I weighed myself it said 209. Grr tomorrow if it says anything below 209 Im changing my ticker immediately. 209:fencing:207   Goal: I kept the calories to about 1000 today. I exercised pretty hard for my abilitys. I really hope Im down at least a few ounces tomorrow!! Oh well at least im getting toned everytime I exercise.. that counts for a lot. So my goal for tomorrow is to exercise and no ice cream.

Glad to get back on track.

I had lost interest in LBT for quite awhile. Im ready to get back on track and start my losing process again. I haven't really gained since my last entry but I haven't really lost either. The past few months have been more career oriented for me and less about my physical health. But I really want to get to where I can feel good about my appearance again. I had my daughters pictures taken together and I was talking to the photographer about scheduling a family photo session at my house and it hit me that I don't have all the time in the world to have it done. I want to be feeling and looking good. My daughters won't be little forever and with my husbands surgery date getting closer and closer, I have to have nice photos done before his surgery. I think im starting to feel like I have to get in shape and ready to be able to support our family for awhile whilst he recovers. my biggest fear though is of complications. Either way I have to get myself at my best and ready for anything.   Today I exercised, and started my day off right witha protein shake. I just have to keep it up for the rest of the day. I need to start journaling my food because it keeps me accountable. I did so at fitday.com. Im also going to keep track on here because the idea of others seeing it motivates me.   With God all things are possible, I can do this. He gives me the strength and the spirit to do this. Thank you.

Goodbye Pound 209

Yippee skippee, im down another pound. I was on #209 for almost a week. But today its officially 208! Yesterday during one of my many scale sessions (lol) I was at 207ish but I won't count that because it wasn't at that for long. Today I want to stay on track and eat healthy. I think I have a rib out of place so I don't think I'll do treadmil today. I want to eat something bad to reward myself.. some reward though if I end up gaining the precious pound I lost back! I won't reward myself with food anymore!   9:00 am Breakfast: Atkins + Unjury   12.00 pm Lunch: Chicken spread, 16 Kashi Crackers.   3:30 pm Snack: 2 SF pudding cups. Why did I feel the need to have 2???   6:00 pm Supper: Chicken and Broccoli.   Exercise: Walk with the family 1.5 miles.   Water: > 70 oz,   vitamins: Liquid multi, Calcium, Biotin   Goal: Treadmil tomorrow.

Strep Throat

Ended up going to the ER tonight. I just couldn't take it anymore. Bad case of strep throat. They gave me a hefty dose of antibiotic via a shot. Ughhh I cant wait until it starts working. This is worse pain than my c-section or my lap band surgery, I swear to god. I can't handle it!!! The doc was going to give me some strong pain meds but im nursing so I had to pass. I wish I woulda just taken the stuff. If someone was standing next to me and offered me morphine or heroine lol Id be sooo tempted.

Bandster Bad Girl Here

Ok, I've been totally off program for the past few days. I had a terrible cold and I just ate whatever I wanted. BAD BAD BAD. Starting tomorrow I will get back OP and do this right!! Dangit im mad at myself. I started back to work and I had to bring my baby to daycare. I don't think im an emotional eater but who am I kidding... I must be. Im totally trying to comfort myself with food. Dangit I need to give myself a proverbial kick in the butt and get back to business. I want to beat this obesity!!!! My goal is to eat RIGHT tomorrow, even though it is Halloween. I was thinking about not getting a fill but I now realize I must. I thought I could diet until TDay and then get a fill afterward, but obviously I cannot trust myself. Im going to get my fill and do this, really do this, actually put my band to work for me. Thats it! Its on! :heh:

Vacation summary

Took a 2 day vacation, I wanted to eat like I normally eat on vacation, which is large quantities of yummy delicious stuff. Couldn't do it, felt a bit controlled by my band. Not sure if I like that feeling. On one hand im happy that I didn't eat and gain a bunch of weight but on the other hand I didn't get to do something I enjoy. It makes me think of what Oprah says, 'nothing tastes as good as skinny feels'. I think once I am thin I will be glad, but since im currently not there yet it just feels like im going without. Oh well, im just glad to be home and back on track and in the groove and routine.

What I ate today.

8:30 am Breakfast: Calorie countdown choc. milk @ 8 oz mixed with one scoop protein powder unjury.   9:30 am Snack: Ok who am I kidding, I ate some of the breakfast left on my daughters plate.. a few bites of strawberry waffle.   1:00 pm Lunch: A peice of meatloaf, a bite or two of mashed potatoes, SF chocolate pudding.   6:00 pm Supper: Small portion of skinless chicken, 1 cup of fresh steamed broccoli/ banana zuccini from my garden.   Vitamins: 2 tbs. liquid vitamin, 3 Calciums chews   Water: At least 70 oz.   Goal: Start exercising tomorrow. I think I need it to get me more motivated to eat right. I think if I start seeing faster results I'll get more positive.

How did I go down another pound today?

I weigh myself every AM, I know its not usually a good thing to weigh yourself daily but it works for me. Anyhow Im down another pound and I feel like I have been eating so much. Im nursing my baby still though and I suppose she's eating more now as she is getting bigger.. 4 months +1 week old and weighing about 18 lbs. A very chubby cherub baby! But nursing makes it so difficult to gage how much I can eat. Its neat that I can eat more calories and still lose weight, but its difficult because I really do need to eat more calories and I think I do feel more hungry than the non nursing person. I would just like to know how all the celebrities do it??? *hmpf*

Sam

Sam's results came back from his blood work from Monday, everything is improving but not his testosterone levels. Next appt. in Sept. will be the MRI and blood tests again. Doc will probably start him on testosterone if his levels haven't improved by then. He's looking kind of peaked this week, I hope he's not getting sicker. What would I do without the love of my life? I've got to just pray that his tumor is shrinking. I've got to believe he will be ok and make it through this. At least he is eating healthier now that im eating healthier.. thats gotta be a good thing. Ive gotta get healthy and strong so that I can take care of him and our family if need be in case he has to have brain surgery. I can and will do this! You can take that to the bank.
