Lacking Motivation

I am really REALLY lacking motivation lately.
Like today? I had a cookie for breakfast. (8 points! So it was a GIANT cookie!) I had two little debbie snacks as a treat. (I don’t even know the points. I quit counting.)
I know the last few days I’ve been within my points. But I know it hasn’t [...]

Fifteen Food Truths

I just finished reading Secrets of a Former Fat Girl by Lisa Delaney, and one thing she mentions in her book is to make a list of your “Food Truths” or things that always apply to you and food. Then, she suggests working on two of them that are unhealthy.
Making my list was painful. It [...]

Family Time : Where I’ve Been

 
Forgive my lengthy absence… I’d been spending some much MUCH needed quality family time lately. (And my spare computer time went towards my Microbiology mid term *yuck* )
I’ve been staying on plan! (I even had a night out at Applebee’s complete with beer; and still have a few flex points and all my activity points [...]

A different kind of Emotional Eating.

I am an emotional eater.
There. I said it. I can’t take it back now.
I’ve denied this for years. I told myself I didn’t hide with Ben and Jerry when I broke up with a boyfriend. I didn’t celebrate the Dean’s List with a celebratory dinner either. Sure, birthday’s and holidays were marked with big meals. [...]

The battle of the turkey sandwich

 Let me begin by apologizing. This very well could turn into a rather long rant entry.
This morning I came to the realization of why I eat the way I do. Essentially? Rebellion. Stubborness.  But let’s jump right in, shall we?
My husband and I get along great. We truly are best of friends. Most couples fight [...]

Disgusted with me

After a few days following my points perfectly, I was adding up my points today and talking to my good friend Lis ( from atruckerwife); (She’s doing WW too; so we compare back and fourth sometimes…) when I realized something. I realized just how much I have to eat to stay as fat as I am. [...]

Frustration

I’m having one of those days.
A “I feel like this is never going to happen” day.
I tried talking to my husband about it. But, I realized long ago that weight loss is not something I can talk to my husband about. He is a wonderful man, and my best friend. But… his mentality towards weight [...]

Roast Beef, hold the beef

“I’ll have the Roast Beef  Dip. Only no beef and gravy on the side.”
“Roast Beef dip, without the beef and gravy on the side?”
“Yep.”
“So. Let me get this right. You want toast and mashed potatoes?”
“Pretty much.”
I was twelve, it was some special occasion (I don’t remember which) because we were at one of the [...]

Celebratory struggles

Friday is the 5th anniversary of my 21st birthday.
Now, in my house these occasions have always been a huge celebration. And it’s been no different in my married life. My husband goes all out, typically a week long ordeal. (Which this year has proved no different.)
It started out night before last, with dinner at the [...]

To climb steep hills requires a slow pace at first.

That Shakespeare quote really summarizes the journey of weight loss I think. But, I need to keep reminding myself that I didn’t adopt the unhealthy choices overnight, and thus I’m not going to lose them overnight either.
Yesterday was a very up and down day for me. I started out with 50 minutes of Cardio! [...]
