I think I used my son's surgery as an excuse to fall off the wagon. Looking back, my head was full of stupid excused that were not valid. Well, I can't go back and change it so I am going forward. Faced the scale this morning. Only up 1 lb. I can handle that. I had it coming! So, back to tracking! (Ironically, the Seven Dwarfs are singing "Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go!" in the

While I usually try and keep this spot slightly impersonal, this post is just the oposite. Impersonal isn't working for me. Weight loss is personal. I think I have always known this, but Jillian seems to be throwing it in my face as I watch Biggest Loser and read Master Your Metabolism. So, here I go...This day I have been dreading and looking forward to at the same time.My little guy has taken

I weighed in on Tuesday. Down 10.4. Yeah! I know some of that was junk my body was holding onto from vacation but I'll take it. It feels good to be going in the right direction. Just shy of 5%. Maybe this week.Making good decidions with food is getting easier. Craving crap less. Getting creative in the kitchen again.As I have mentioned before, my husband is a sabotuer. Drives me nuts.

I swear that my husband thinks that I never shower. While this is NOT the case, I can see why he thinks this. I look worn down and I am almost always in lounge clothes because on days that I try and get ready in the morning I usually end up getting slimed by the baby or spilled on by the toddler and throw my hands up and end up back in the same pants I had on when he left that morning. I know it

I am embarassed it has been such a long time. Wish I could tell you that I have been busy getting skinny but not the case. I am starting to be more introspective and try and understand some of my issues so that I can be successful.I lost some weight in August only to go one vacation in September and put some back on. Picture my horror, stepping on the scale 12 lbs heavier than when we left 10

Two days done. 28 to go!I'm sore! Mostly in my legs. Found I couldn't jump near as high today as yesterday. Can't wait to be over the soreness but that probably means I need to move up a level. I love that it is 25 minutes beginning to end. Makes it easy to squeeze in. Yesterday the kids were napping when I did it, but not the case today. Baby boy was pretty content and the little girl had

It's 10:45 pm and I am hungry.Points are gone.Husband is searching the cabinets for a snack.Sounds like he is settling on a bowl of Race Krispies.I think I just need to head to bed!

Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This day is all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on yesterdays.Ralph

Two more donuts, stale too! Not good! they are done with. I am not going to mention the Easter candy that I have eaten. Enough with confessions. Easter was nice. The kids are so little we can do it on our timeline. We slept in, went to church, had lunch and then told the little girl that the Easter Bunny would pay her a visit while she was napping. She loved finding the eggs and was proud

Yes, there is a box of these sitting on my counter. No, I didn't put them there!Yes, my husband thought it was a good idea.No, he wasn't thinking straight.Yes, it is making rededicating myself very difficult!Yes, I caved and shoved one in my mouth on my way to be last night.No, it was not smart!Yes, I kicked myself for it!No, I am not going to do it again.I get supporting a cause but donuts?

So after two crazy weeks and totally blowing WW, I'm back. I have learned a lot about emotional eating and how I deal with stress. Thanks to all those who emailed and commented on how I was doing. I really really appreciate it. Things have been so crazy I haven't even checked my email to see the comments. It really motivates me to stay on track.Now I'm off to get those few pesky pounds that

Thanks to all you who congratualted me on the loss. It was an awesome week.In coming clean, I feel like I have lost control the past two days. I can't really tell you why but I am figuring emotional eating and throwing caution to the wind when I eat something that I hadn't planned on.Luckily, I had all my WPAs. I have pretty much used them all so I have rededicated myself for the next three days

-3.7I had a feeling that my gain last week of 0.7 was a fluke but it feels great to know that it was. I stayed on track this week, but I was on track the week before too. I didn't do much different. I think just the ebb and flow of losing weight.So I have surpassed the 25 lbs lost mark! Yeah! I am so proud of this. I have been so close the past few weeks I could taste it. So glad to be

Just another sale that I forgot to share on the last post. Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic are doing Friends and Family March 12 -15 and you can get 30% off your entire purchase and on top of that 5% goes to charity. I have picked Feed America as the charity that I would like proceeds to go to.You can use it in store or online. The online code is:D6KQWGD1NLH6You need to print a barcode to use

I hate hate hate shopping for clothes, especially jeans. truth be told, I usually buy one of the first pairs that I find that fit just to have it over with. I don't worry about then being a perfect fit. I usually worry more about the price. I never want to spend to much because I am always hoping that I don't have to wear them too long, always hoping to lose weight. I usually just snag some at

So despite posting that I was over the gain this week, I have to come clean and admit that it actually irks me a bit. It has really motivated me to go the extra mile this week. I really hope that it will pay off.What am I doing? Much more fruits and vegetables and less bread and chocolate. So far I have been doing it and it feels good.I know I said that I would continue photo tracking, but I

Disappointing but I've moved on and forward.Up .7 this week. I am happy that it was under a pound but would have been happier if it was a loss.I was kind of expecting it or at least maintaining because of my daily scale habit.So I have spent the day analyzing the whys of the gain,Chocolate - Even though my chocolate choices were "healthier" options, they were too many and muc of them processed

So after a little thought, I decided that I am going to continue photo tracking. It will be a lot less formal than it has been the last week, but I think that it is good to actually see what I eat.I planned on posting last night but I laid down on the bed while we were putting the kids to bed and totally passed out. I was so tired and really needed the sleep.Looking back at the days pictures, I

I can't believe it! I won the Questions for Dessert Every Bite Challenge. I am so excited!I know people always say that they never win, but really, I NEVER win. In fact most blog contests I don't even enter figuring that I would never win so why bother. I know very negative, but honest. Well this has given me a new perspective:You'll never win if you don't try!I think that that is a good

So yes, another gaping hole, right in the middle. I went to another luncheon today. This one for a friend's birthday. It was a great time and the food was delicous but 24 pts later, I realized I would have to be careful the rest of the day.1. 1/2 Apple (.5) - No I don't usually peel my apples but the little girl won't eat the skin and wastes way to much fruit trying to eat around it, so I have

So two days, two luncheons and too much food. Granted I have only gone over around 4 points each day (I have plenty of WPAs) but that it with a really light breakfast and dinner. Tonight I had a tiny tiny steak and a huge salad with spritzer because I was already at 30 pts for the day. Not fun, luckily I haven't been that hungry.I am sure it is better for me if I eat the majority of my points

See that big gaping hole. That is the first picture that I have missed since photo tracking. I went to a luncheon at the home of a woman from church and the moment didn't seen right to break out my phone to take a picture. I might have been able to sneakily snap a shot but decided that it was that important. All the points were counted and I had a great time chatting with the other women that

So I have spent my whole morning fighting with the mosaic maker on flickr. So frustrating. Also, my new camera has been giving me some troubles with the flash so I am going to return it today and get a new one. Thank goodness for Costco's awesome return policy.Here is yesterday's menu. I have to admit that I didn't plan well and kind of ate on the fly, making sure I counted my points. I ended up

8 Weeks-24.1 lbs total.-1.7 this week.YEAH!I was down more earlier in the week but I am not going to dwell on it. I think it stems from eating too few points this week. Can you believe that? I need to remember that and make sure that I am eating enough. Sometimes, I feel like life gets to busy. I need to remember to take care of myself so I can be a better mom and wife.I am also feeling great

The past few weeks my husband has started losing some weight. yes, with weight watchers but he doesn't have the patience for points and such. Before I met him he lost weighgt with Jenny Craig eating pre-packaged meals. That is more his style. He gets 31 points a day. I pack around 15 for his lunch and then dinner is usually around 10. That leaves him 5 or 6 for a snack after woork and some

I have posted a bunch of new recipes on Eating Fine. Go check them out! This morning I posted Apple Crisp Oatmeal, Spiced Apples and Microwave Granola. Later today I will be posting Candied Yams. Tomorrow, I will revisit my Chicken Cordon Bleu recipe and I came up with an awesome Almond Onion Rice that is a must try.

I know the challenge officially starts Wednesday but I thought that I would get a day under my belt before it started. It is good to see exactly what you are eating. Here is what was on the menu.1. Apple Crisp Oatmeal, Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk, & Gummivites (5.5)2. Turkey & Cheese Bagel Sandwich, Pretzels & Banana (7)3. Kashi Dark Chocolate Coconut Bar (2)4. BBQ Chicken Sandwich, Baked

Yesterday, I was on the hunt for a snack. I didn't know what. I knew I wanted something sweet but I didn't know what. I was more munchy than anything, not necessarily hungry. I started openning the cabinets, checking the fridge, and peeking in the pantry over and over again. I thought most of the junk was out of the house, but soon realized there is still quite a few things that are in the house

So I think that I am going to be able to combine the best of both worlds. I saw on Roni's Weigh that there is a program, TwitPic that you can Twitter pictures of your food. After a little bit of investigation, I think that it should be pretty simple. I can upload pictures from my phone or computer to track and they will show up on my sidebar. Seems simple, huh? I am figuring that most of the

I have been tossing around the idea of taking pictures of what I eat to help hold myself more accountable and to stop myself from shoving a bite here and there in my mouth. Those bites are more mindless eating than actually being hungry. I have been following a few other blogs that do this and I love seeing their pictures. Questions for Dessert has given me the nudge I needed to start. She is

Yes, I lied!On my Driver's License.When I got a new license after was married, I was completely honest and gave my real weight. Not ideal but not humiliating though. My little girl was born 2 years later. About 4 months after she was born, my license expired and I had to go in to renew it. I went up the counter and the clerk asked if any of the information had changed. I said no, everything was

I have the pictures taken, uploaded, and saved in their respective posts and just have to type the recipes in.Stop making excuses and start typing!Keep checking Eating Fine and get on my case if there are no new changes!

Some thoughts before I post my loss.I feel that the routine is turning into a habit. Does that make sense? In the beginning, I felt as if it took a lot of planning to make sure that points were counted and meals were ready. Then if became more of a routine. Easier to plan and track. Still took time, but I was used to doing it. Just the past couple of days, it seems to come more natural. Almost

Well it is not perfectly clean, I try hard to keep it organized. I HATE searching for something in the fridge am everything has a spot. Over the past 6 weeks our fridge has been slowly been getting a makeover. Healthier options are moving in and the junk in being evicted. The other day when I had the camera in the kitchen I decided to I should give you a peek into our fridge. After all,

I am a candy-holic.I am sure that that is a big reason that I am where I am today.The husband has a sweettooth too and so there is usually some sort of treat laying around. Usually, something not very good for you but rather tasty like the fudge or ice cream that is in my freezer, both homemade. Or the giant bag of green M&Ms or the bag of Hershey Bliss hearts that the husband brought home for me

...two things that have stuck with me.Somewhere I saw an interview of someone that had lost a lot of weight. I think that it was on Discovery Channel's show "I Lost It!" The woman they were interviewing said that she always refers to "getting rid" of the weight instead of losing it. She said that if you lose something you usually try and find it again and she didn't ever want to find her extra

I just looked at the calendar. I'm 6 weeks in.Looking back.....In the last six weeks I have:Successfully stayed on WW.Done it all online.Motivated my husband to join me.(He's lost 12 lbs in the past 4 weeks.)Looked towards the future.Not become overwhelmed with all that is in front of me.Started running, well jogging, but that is a great feat!Got rid of 20.8 lbs!Yes, I passed the 20 mark. I am so

-2.7 lbs! 18.3 total!I feel relieved that the scale is down. I was worried that it would stay the same. I need to trust the program more. I stayed mostly within my points and only used 14 of my WPA, a few each day.Last week really threw me off. When I was doing WW before, I lost every week for the first 3 months. To gain on the 4th week was hard for me.I also need to stay away from the scale. My

I swear that little orange monster was hanging around. You know the one from the WW commercials.I was so hungry all day. I kept revisiting the cupboards and the fridge hoping to find something satisfying. I can't say that I did. I munched on a banana, a couple sticks of string cheese, some pretzels, grapes, a sucker, ritz, cereal, and a granola bar. Yes, all of that. By some miracle, I only ended

I'm up.I know that I expected it. Not because of poor eating but because of scale watching.Up .7. Not even a pound but still up when I was hoping to be down.

Yes, I weighed in last Friday, but I haven't gotten around to posting until now.DOWN!4.9 lbs!YEAH!It was a great week and a great loss and I should have shared it earlier.Now I weigh in again in the morning. I am dreading it. It has been an OK week. Nothing stellar, but alright. I stayed within my points but didn't focus as much on making sure that I am meeting the GHGs. I definately didn't drink

All scales are different. That is why I weigh on the same scale everytime.The problem is...if it is a problem...I weigh everyday.I have been getting mixed messages.I have heard to only weigh yourself once a week. Reason being what? To not get frustrated by the daily fluctuations of the number on the display? I have to admit that I am overjoyed when the number is lower than I expect but then

So, the plan was to blog everyday. Well plans fell through but that's OK. I am still OP and pretty proud of myself. It has been a pretty stressful week and I have avoided eating my stress away. That is a big step for me. Tomorrow is weigh-in say for me and I am a little nervous. To be honest, I am really hoping for 3 lbs, but think it might be less. I had a HUGE loss last week and TOM is

pounds that is. i am amazed and stunned that that is the real number. i know that a ton of it is water weight. i ate really bad during the holidays and i could tell i was retaining, but 10.1 that's awesome and motivating.on the flipside, it is probably good that i read this post by roni at roni's weigh this morning. i need to remember this next week if the scale doesn't move. i need to remember

a lot of bad food has been hiding out in cupboards and pantry. stuff i shouldn't eat, but did. yesterday, i stocked up on good things. made a costco run and hot up the supermarket too for produce. was able to keep my shopping cart full of clean things. came home proud and motivated.while putting the groceries away I found a packet of oatmeal that looked like it had been nibbled on. yikes!

here's to 09.a fresh start. i needed a clean slate.this is personal. that is a good thing. weight loss needs to be more personal for me. i am doing it for me and the ones i love. i am the only one who can do it.there is no magic wand. i know what works and now is the time to do it. no more waiting!to be honest, i don't have a certain number or size in mind. instead, i have a feeling in mind. this
