Not Weighing Myself Makes me Smile!

OK, so I'm making some moves in the right direction. I haven't done a complete makeover yet like I did last January, but I'm getting back to that. I've been careful not to mix my meats with my carbs. I'm only eating fruits in the morning and I'm trying to watch my portion sizes. Now all I have to do is hire the fat cell moving services and I'll start to feel my clothes fitting me more loosely again.

As I have steered away from weighing myself, I don't know if I've lost any weight since making these changes, but I told you last time, I'll let my clothes tell me the truth. I notice myself feeling more positive now that the scale numbers aren't beating me down every morning. That's another change I'm not regretting. Well, you know I'll keep you up to date if you're interested in one girls quest to lose the weight she gained after having two babies.

Burned Out and No Motivation - Weight Loss Moves

I need a serious overhaul of my brain to make this weight loss plan I have work, LOL! It would probably do me good to get some Anoretix or something to boost things along too, but I'm not going there yet. I stood on the scale today and found that I had gained another pound instead of lost one. SHOOT! What am I going to do? I have a family that loves eating food that's not good for me.

I am the one who ultimately makes the food choices and when I've made the hard decisions to bring in more healthy food, I get hems and haws about why it's not tasty enough and why they don't like it and why they don't want to eat it. That lasts for at least a week or two until either they break down or I break down. Usually, it's me who gives in since I agree. The foods that are healthy for you have to be really well seasoned to be palatable.

I hope to change my ways before I gain back all the weight I lost over the past year. I don't want to go backwards, but that's exactly what I'm doing. How about we say I start on Monday, I mean seriously start! I've got to do that with my business too. I think I was so burned out from last quarter that I just shut down.

I'm sure you'll hear how things are doing. I'll be writing. Until next time...

January is Almost Over! Weight Loss Moves.

It's now the last week of January and I haven't lost the five pounds I've been hoping to work on losing. I haven't gained any weight either. I know exactly what my problem is, but I can't get out of the slump of being non-motivated. It's terrible. I was doing so good for at least six months and the BAM!!! It almost seems as if I just don't have it in me. I know I do. Of course I do!

I can't make any more excuses. I'm on the verge of going there and asking what the toll free number for dieting help is. Does anyone have a number of that? I need support! Yes, I know! I don't want to turn to diet pills. I want to be able to do it by myself like I had been. I'm addicted to sugar again. I'm addicted to chocolate and forget talking about carbs. I think I can actually monitor the intake of meat, but the carbs...forget it!

O.K. snap out of it missy! You can do this!

Doing OK Today - Weight Loss Moves

I'm on my way to a better day with weight loss moves that are going to definitely bring me results. It is so important to make the right choices in dieting, whether choosing the right weight loss pill or the right exercise program and, of course, the right foods you put in your body. Today I started out well with an orange, banana and 1/4 of an apple.

Later I had a small ham and cheese sandwich. Considering all that I have learned about food combining, I chose incorrectly this morning, but I can't remember when was the last time I had a ham and cheese sandwich, so I did it anyway. Does that mean that I should just give up for the rest of the day? No way! You will not see me give up. I'm determined to take off at least five pounds by February 1st. Come on, I have two weeks! I can do this! Can you?

I'm Not Doing Too Hot - Weight Loss Moves

I have completely fallen off the bandwagon in my weight loss goals. Last month completely threw me off and I haven't had the motivation to get back on track. I know what I want to do and what I have to do, but I'm stuck! Have you been feeling the same way? I have gained back about six pounds of the 20+ pounds I lost. That's not horrible, but at the same time, when I remember what I went through to lose each and every pound that I lost, it's so depressing! It makes me just want to give up and go eat chocolate! LOL!

Instead, what I should be doing is getting a few of those shipping boxes so that I can pack away my fat clothes. Then there will be no excuse. I will have to work at fitting into what's left. I should also get rid of all that junk food I've been eating lately. As I said, I know what to do. I just don't do it. UghhhH!!!!

O.K. should I make a new resolution? I'm not going to start today since I've already screwed up and have exactly what I want to eat in mind. However, I will get back on board tomorrow (tomorrow never comes?). This time tomorrow will come, because I'm going to be specific. On January 15, 2009 I will begin my new resolution. O.K. there. I said it. It's written and so let it be done! I'll come back tomorrow to let you know how it goes.

Gift Giving and Losing Weight

What did you get for Xmas that you honestly didn't want or need. Did you get one of those famous silk ties or a beer mug that says "I Love New York?" Did you get a book about weight loss? Would you give one to someone else? Is that an obvious implication that you think that someone needs to lose weight. I don't know.

I think only the best of friends or close family should do something like that, otherwise it might come off as offensive. Don't you think? For example, my sister and I had been talking about this Fit For Life book that we have both been reading for some time now. The ideas in there have helped both of us and even my mom, so we decided to encourage my brother to buy it. He didn't have any time, so when my sister went to visit him, she and he both went to the store to finally get it. Has he read it? Come to think of it, I should ask him.

Either way, be supportive, not offensive. If you truly think a weight loss book is going to help someone you care about, maybe tell them about it first. Tell them how it benefited you or someone you know. Get them excited about it. Then give it to them.

Get Back on the Lose Weight Bandwagon

I am ashamed to say that I have avoided coming back here to my weight loss moves blog because I've been pigging out! While everyone in my family was on vacation, I felt the need to just relax and not work so hard. I was so stressed out in December that I couldn't put my thoughts together in order to eat as well as I should. I went for the easiest means of dining, ordering out. Does that mean that I have given up? NOOOOooooO!!!

There are so many promotional products on the market today for losing weight. It is obvious that losing weight is on a lot of people's minds, mine included. I bet you have been thinking about it too. So, why don't we hop on the New Years Resolution bandwagon and plan out how to lose the weight we put on in December and make a new goal for the short term and long term. For example, by the end of January, I'd like to lose five pounds. How would I accomplish that? I will lose at least 1.5 pounds each week until January 30th. Does that sound doable? It does to me. I know how to do it. I just have to get my butt in gear!

So, how about you? What are you going to do to get back on the lose weight bandwagon?
