monday, monday
while doing the semi-low carb thing last week, i learned somethings about myself:
cheater, cheater, bacon eater?
i put some of my lost weight back on over the holidays. and for the past week, i have been counting my points like a good girl, waiting for the scale to shift the slightest bit.
i have a few options…
other sites to get lost in…
i have made some recent web-scoveries while home from work sick today…
so many blogs and so little time, http://condron.us is like a remote control for your blogs, and my husband has the clicker flipping away.
hungry girl…because a girl gets hungry, even when dieting and maintaining. she does a great job of reviewing diet friendly, yet tasty, food, recipes and a lot more!
skinny and the city… yes, it’s a play on words, but it works. diet, nutrition and fashion at your fingertips.
the one gift i want to return…
i am home sick from work today..maybe some bad chicken. ick
so i got on the scale this week, just to see how hard hitting the 2 week christmas break was. and it was. 6 pounds. lord. i don’t think it was eating as much as it was drinking. i had someone to meet for drinks or people over for drinks almost every day of the break. and don’t get me started on the spiked eggnog.
i have some damage control to do.
i think one thing that let me kinda lose of the break, was not weighing in every morning like i usually do. mentally, that gets me on the right track, first thing in the AM. i totally avoided the scale. and now, i gotta re-lose some weight. i know a lot is water, but it has to go, so i can get back to a real loss, not a re-lose.
there is a new workout that i started doing. you know that really in-your-face trainer from the biggest loser? jillian michaels? she has a dvd called “30 day shred”. it is broken into segments, 1 2 or 3. you start at 1, each level is only twenty minutes, but a grueling 20. i could not sit down easily for 2 days after starting it. but, i can feel the changes and am going to measure before moving to section 2. i think you do each section for 10 days…i’ll let you know!
no, my new year’s resolution isn’t to blog more often…
but it is to do things that will help me continue to lose weight.
let me catch you up…
blogging and working is really hard for me. going back to work in general was hard, but i feel better about it now. my hormones have settled down, and thus, my emotional rollercoaster is now more like a tilt-a-whirl that tips once a month. on the diet front, i have found something that really works consistently for me: weight watchers. i love low carb…and i love body for life. i have kind of incorporated those meals into me daily point talleys. balancing my carb and protein makes me feel great and stay fuller, longer. but, being able to count points lets me feel more in control and know the calories of the foods i am putting in my mouth. doing this, i have lost about 18 pounds since october 31.
that was my weight loss total on december 19…have not really weighed since then. and i won’t until the end of the week. i did not really count points over christmas, and drank quite a bit. so, i’m giving myself a break until friday.
christmas here was wonderful. hope your’s was the same.
on the way down
well, dr. atkins seems to be helping me, any water weight is now gone. i woke up this morning and was 3 pounds lighter…which has kind of given me a second wind to keep going with the induction. besides the eggs, i was all lean meat and green veggies yesterday. was not even very hungry. i know atkins is still kind of…controversial. but, i am eating lean meats, veggies….nothing high fat. i will get back with BFL at some point, but this is giving me a nice little jump. today’s meal will probably look a little like yesterday’s, but today i’m going to add some whey protein shakes.
today’s workout is a FUN one: core rhythms. it’s a workout/dance dvd and you can feel your legs and waist firming while doing it. i have found that exercise is helping me feel better with the depression. i am trying to stop by the Dr. tomorrow to find out my next step.
can’t get you out of my system
things are about the same, so i guess it’s not the BC, since that is out of my system. i am taking the kids into daycare on friday to get some things done, and to get the baby a little familiar with his teachers. and, today i am starting something new Read the rest of this entry »
i guess that’s why the call it the blues…
i have been in hormone hell. let me catch you up. Read the rest of this entry »
