Hello,

It’s been  awhile since I have posted here. I have been battling for a few weeks.  Trying real hard to make it to my 25 pound loss mark.  The past two weeks I have had .4 and .6 loss. Today when I weighed in I had a one pound gain.  I have been working out the past month faithfully…zumba 4 x a week, gym 3, crosscountry skiing and  bowling once a week.  I thought I was eating  a lot too, but I gained.  Today I was really frustrated…so frustrated that I went to Barnes and Noble and had a pretzel, hot chocolate and stuffed brownie something. Now what do I do to get back? :(  Am feeling all my hard work is not paying off, especially when I do this.

Took my Saturday nicely today by starting out with a nice vegetable omelette..it was really good and that got me in the mood to get to the gym where I was able to walk on the treadmill…almost 3 miles.  It was a tough one to do today because I am really sore…went last night for a massage and I think all that put everything into a tailspin. The bottom line though is that I did do it..2.90mph.  Tonight I am going to a surprise birthday party for a friend…German Restaurant.  Anyone have any suggestions on what to order off the menu?

Why did I crave that diet coke from McDonalds…urgh? Ended up getting small fries and a double cheeseburger while going  drive through.  I am having a hard time staying on track this past week. Part of me is really trying to watch what I eat and write it down all the time, but not today.  This week I have managed to work out 4 times at the gym.  The snow is really starting to get to me too….am on my 4th snow day from working at school. Will really cut into the Summer too.

Ok, I need some helpful advice on what to do when you are craving food?

Thanks,

Dana

Ok, this weigh in was not a good one. gained almost 5 pounds.  Saturday was gathering and I tried really hard being good, but I failed.  Now, I am back to getting to business.  It just doesn’t seem right…work hard to lose, gain instantly. Ok, getting  ready to go work and it is snowingggg…more to come on Wednesdayyyyyy .

Ok, I am really ready for spring…want the snow and cold to just go away.  Am feeling all I do is work, eat and come home to stay inside away from the frigid weather.  Anyone have and ideas??

Well, I had a great week weighing in at a 2.4 loss. The snow blowing helped a lot. I am close to my mini goal of 25 pounds lost forever.  Trying to be upbeat and positive here while it is cold and awaiting terrible weather for tomorrow.  Part of me is hoping for a snow day, while the other part is saying no…go in and let it snow all say, just let me get home safely.  I managed to get to the gym and got almost 4 miles in an hour…one of my best times yet so far.  Have to stay positive with all the stress….any suggestions?

Hello all, Today wasn’t too bad. Watched what I ate…went to the gym and worked out.  Yesterday with all the snow I was out side for almost 3 hours with my bestest bud, Mr. John Deer. I really am starting to hate him.  He is worse than the gym on my worst day.

Well, I am happy today and it is a weigh in day…can you tell it’s a loss of 1.8.  Worked hard this week on getting back to the exercise at the gym. Could be doing better on the food.  Need to write all my food down and then the losses will be better.  Will try to do better. Anyone have any suggestions on keeping track better?

Hello all,

Manage to shovel the snow this morning and then I watched the birds after I put seed into the feeders.   Boy, were they happy to get a treat on this cold windy day.  Today I also succeeded in making it to the gym.  Got a good workout on the treadmill, even ran for almost 15 minutes. I know it’s not much, but it is a start. One hour and 4 miles over 500 calories gone too.

Ok, I need to get back on task.   Gained 2.6 this past week…any words of wisdom?
