Well, it?s been a few weeks.   I’ve been doing okay and been traveling. I went to NY for a week and got the comments about my weight gain from family and friends, with the statement following with “…but you look good…” disclaimmers…lol.  I’m a little disappointed, but I know they weren’t being mean or anything.  Anyway, I’m back on track since being home, running twice a day, and eating right.  I hope to see the scale moving in the right direction over the next few weeks, but I’m not going to stress over the scale either.  Well, that’s it for now and until next time. I hope all others are doing well and continue to have much success over the next couple of weeks, too.

Well here I sit on a Saturday evening brooding about life and food…lol  I haven’t done so well during the last week in the food consumption area, basically eating non-stop and making unhealthy choices, and eating when not hungry.  That said, though, I have continued to exercise twice a day; running six miles a day or so. I haven’t weighed myself b/c I know I haven’t lost and probably gained even with the cardio.  Well, here is to trying again tomorrow…

Wow, well I am doing well with the cardio and new energy protein drink.  Drink is made of protein powder, cod fish oil, mega green powder(solely food derived), amino acids and three strawberries.  I really like it and hope that it will give me a boost before my runs and help me feel better after them.  As for the healthy choices, I’ve been doing well except for this past Friday, Sunday and TODAY.  I definitely didn’t put my best foot forward any of those days… lol  I hope to be back on track tomorrow.  I’m at that not feeling hungry really thing I go through, but want to just feed myself to appease myself and comfort ME!   Gotta get over that and not let it take up too many days out of this week!  Well I haven’t worked out today yet and don’t think I will, which is out of the norm for me.  I’ve been working out twice a day and running longer.  Anywho, here is hoping we all have better cardio/health goal days tomorrow and the rest of the week.

rn

Stay on track as best you can and if not, get back on track as soon as you can!  Oh and don’t forget to forgive yourself and move on regardless of what you ate an hour ago… lol

Well I am stool on track.  Last couple of days I had some brief moments of weakness, where I felt I wanted to eat poorly, but I pushed through them and I’m still on course.   I’m doing tofu and Sherataki noodle meals this week and incorporating protein BSN drinks a couple of times a day.

rn

…been dealing with my food issues aggressively and I’m truly feeling good.  Best of all I like myself… not an easy thing for me to say and not used to saying or feeling it, but its part of my new course…

rn

Been working out twice a day and that’s working out great, too.

rn

Until next time; stay positive and health conscious.

Hello all, I just wanted to say I had a good day yesterday and so far a good day today.  I really am focused right now and working with dealing with staying focus on healthy life choices. 

rn

I’m staying active, eating right, and dealing with life.  Most importantly taking it one day at a time and setting small goals, which are more attainable.

rn

Well I hope everyone has a moment of laughter and smiling today!

GoodMorning all.  Yesterday was a good day for me I met my personal cardio and healthy choice goals for the day.  Actually, I exceeded my cardio for the, day so that’s making me grin… lol

rn

Today, I want to make it through the work day continueing my healthy eating choices, liquid quota and get my cardio(me) time in later today.

rn

I wish everyone the best “me” day we can all have.

Bj

Well, let me start off by just saying HI!  I know it’s been a while, but I hope everyone is well. 

rn

I can’t tell you all of the reasons I’ve been away for so long, but a couple are that I just lost my motivation in life and my feeling of being centered.  

rn

That all said I’ve decided to work on all that.  I’ve made a commitment to myself and for the last three days I’ve kept it, which is to think before I eat and to just try to be happier in life overall.  Right now I don’t like myself physically(weight) and crave being back to where I was several months to a year ago.  I know I can do it if I work on the underlying issues and I plan on doing just that!

rn

Well I will be back later this evening to truly blog and give more of an update on the cardio and healthy eating, coupled with my long and short term goals.  For now I just wanted to at least sign back in and send out a greeting.

Well its mid week Wednesday and so far I haven’t been putting in a 100% with this weight loss thing. I’m just not focused…can’t find my mojo…lol  That’s going on two weeks now.  Again, two weeks ago I ‘was’ on point.  Anyway, I rollerbladed Monday for about 25 minutes after work, but I didn’t exercise yesterday.  I am going to try to do some cardio today.  I hadn’t rollerbladed in a little over three years.  It wasn’t as easy or fun as I remember.  I’m trying to find something to replace running, b/c running just doesn’t seem to be something I can get back into anymore. Maybe that’s just a right now thing and that will change next year or something… I don’t know.  I think the stresses in my life are causing havoc with my interest in food and enjoyment of cardio. I’m just bored with everything.  I’m going to stick to getting some type of cardio in at least three to four times a week, though.  Regardless of what it is.

rn

Today I hope to get the wheels on my blades switched out, so I can go a little bit faster.  It seemed like I was struggling to gain speed and a smooth flow on Monday, while blading.  If my blades are too old to switch the wheels then I guess I may decide to get knew ones sometime during the day, so I have them for after work use this evening.   I am seriously looking forward to my LAWL appt on Saturday now.  I went to a local LAWL center during lunch on Monday, but wasn’t focused and couldn’t stay for a full consult.  I can be extremelly cynical and am very familiar with business models from selling to drawing a consumer in, so I always have my “here goes the sales pitch/marketing” nonsense all business spew. See…    Anyway, I called yesterday and made an appt for Saturday for a full consult and plan on going in there with an open mind and leaving the cynicism at home in order to determine if it may be something I want to try out and am willing to spend the money on. 

rn

That all said, I’m used to doing this cardio/healthy eating thing on my own and have done so for so long and I’m not quite sure what’s up with me lately. I’ve come a long way with my weight.  I’ve been extremely obese all my life and went from being extremelly high on the scale to being extremelly low on the scale; Emphasis on extreme. I leveled out for a while and was still considered very small.  I’ve since regained 20 lbs over the last six to seven months and I’ve been trying to get back to this tiny size for the last three to four of those months. Maybe I’m being unrealistic and maybe I need to appreciate my successes and just allow myself to ’BE’ for right now and stop stressing about this weight/size I “HAVE” to get back down to again.   I think ultimately I want to lose the 20 lbs I regained and get back into my ”X” size jeans, but again I think I also need to let myself just ‘BE’ for a moment…

rn

Well enough ranting and introspection for now…

rn

Later for now… D/bj

I hope to have a good day and get some cardio in later.  I’d liketo try to get some rollerblading in after work. 

rn

Have a great day all!

10 a.m. - Just checking in, so far so good today.  I’ve had decaf and water(working on second 24oz).  Later! rn

12 pm - I had about 1 tbs of peanuts and finished my 2nd 24oz water. rn

2pm - Well it’s later then anticipated, but I’m going to take my lunch break.  I’ll be checking out LAWL and seeing what plans they have to offer the costs.  rn

3:30 Eating a greek salad. I ordered a small with dressing on the side, but I am only eating half of that with very little of the dressing.  It’s good. I went to the pet store, too.  Played with some puppies, but there were no Yorkies.  Stopped at LAWL and will have to make an appt for when I have free time. Possibly this Saturday.  So far so good today on my own, though. rn

again, no need to elaborate!

rn

Until tomorrow!  Note, I’ll be catching up on all the other blocks from today over the weekend, but for now I’m going to bed and shutting down(my mind included).
