On the refrigerator door,
The goodies inside
Will be easier to ignore.”

The Good–I had a great week last week. I ate well. I worked out 5 out of 7 days. I drank copious amounts of water. I probably had what would have normally been a days worth of of diet pop for me over the course of the week instead. All in all, a great week.:yahoo:

The Bad–I gained this week. I gained .2 of a pound. I know that doesn’t seem like much, but that brings me to the ugly.:indifferent:

The Ugly–In the last two weeks, I have gained .8 of a pound. That is almost a pound. I feel like I have been doing everything right and not being rewarded remotely for it. It is really started getting to me. I am sick of it. I am not going to quit or anything, but if I don’t start seeing results soon, I am going to be one unhappy human being.:rant:

boy oh boy. It just says Lo when i stand on it. So I haven’t a clue where i am. I haven’t had much luck with Tae Bo and the bands so i chucked the bands and I made it through the whole workout. I was so excited. I used my 5lb weights insteads and dropped them when it got to hard but still continued with rest of the reps. I think i will continue to do it this way untill I get stronger.  

I am slowly weaning Mr. boobman and my appitite has decreased along with it. Very pleased with this. Hoping this will help me not snack so much late at night.   I am discouraged because most of wieght is around my tummy (imagine that, did i think i wouldn’t have a belly after 4 kids) and my shattered tailbone(happened when I was 12) hurts when i do any sit ups. Any one have ab exercises that don’t have you on your back?

I just ate *4*…count ‘em…four chocolate chip cookies that I baked this evening…intending to freeze them, of course!  I did the calculations based on every single ingredient, divided by the # of cookies in the batch and each cookie = 102 calories.  Argghhhhh!  :duh:

I had had such a good day.  Actually, this still only puts me 50 calories over my high end number, but why do I do such ridiculous things when I KNOW I shouldn’t have them?  Seriously, there has to be some sort of psychological basis for not being able to resist such temptations.  Obviously, the easy (and probably correct) solution is to just not bake them.  Duh, again!

Oh well…tomorrow’s another day.  But I could just KICK myself!  I feel like such a PIG!

oink, oink……

I found a great motivational desktop wallpaper program here last evening. The wallpaper changes once a day and each beautiful picture has an inspirational saying or quote on it.

It’s easy to install (and has an uninstaller) and keeps an icon in your sys tray so that you can disable it if you like. Tech-hubby checked it out and it’s clean of any viruses, spyware, etc. Just thought I’d share.

I’ve had a good day today again. My calorie count yesterday and today were both below my 1200 mark and I’ve really been pouring on the salads, fresh veggies, etc. I also worked out on the stair climber again today. Water has just worked its way into my day now … I hardly even think about it any more.

I hope you’ve all had good weekends!

The scale moved this morning! First time in about 7 weeks. Granted it was only one pound and it may be back tomorrow, but I really needed to see different (happier) numbers on it for once.

Oddly enough, it’s at the tail end of a week that included french fries twice and a Big Mac…

It has been quite some time since I have posted, and I apologize! This whole getting fit thing is a lot harder than I was thinking it would be, and that’s only been made worse by the fact that I’m sick! I’ve got a horrible cold, and I’m concerned because I can’t really work out while I’m feeling like this! Also, I can’t think of anything healthy to eat but soup!

So my question to all of you – when you’re sick, how do you maintain a healthy lifestyle?
