I haven't blogged in a few days. It's been busy around here with the class starting up and the interview I had. I also haven't had much time to get into Sparkpeople yesterday or today and log my food. I think I might just start blogging it on my Sparkpage. . . .
I am sticking to the plan, though. I had a rough day yesterday, however. My daughter made chocolate chip cookies. Oh my goodness I didn't realize I had such a weakness for them. I ate 3 throughout the course of the evening. At first, I had 1 and told myself that 2 were in a serving, so it would be okay to have the 2nd one later on. After dinner, I had said cookie #2.
Then around 7 or so, everybody else in the house was eating a cookie and cookie #3 started calling my name and I had no willpower to say no. So, I ate it. Didn't send me over the calorie range, but I still know it's not good for me. Yes, I still got my fruits and veggies in for the day, too.
Today, I am going to try to do better. Although, I'm not feeling that well today. Tummy isn't happy for some reason. Breakfast was cream of wheat with a little Sunny Delight. I didn't like the Sunny D - it didn't go down very well. Maybe that's why my tummy isn't happy?
So far, I've eaten a blueberry yogurt for lunch. I am going to get some veggies in, but I want my tummy to settle down a bit first.
My mom and I argue about how to lose weight properly. She has a lot of weight to lose too and can't understand why she doesn't lose anything. She doesn't eat. She lost weight before by not eating and thinks that it's the best way to go. I tried to explain to her about proper nutrition and the whole thing I figured out, but she doesn't want to listen. I find that so many people think that being healthy is about being skinny and not eating anything. Well, if that's the case, then I guess I'll never be that definition of healthy.
My goal here is to get to a healthy weight for me. If that means I'll always be overweight, then so be it. As long as I know I'm eating right and getting exercise and sleep I will feel good about myself.

I came over here to check in w/ you..........I know things are "changing" over there....w/ work and all that! I'm so pleased to hear you're still going strong. Somewhere I read, "don't let a slip turn into a slide........". I don't think the cookie thing is the "end of the world". You need to do something "sustainable"...you know-- the LIFE CHANGE. PROGRESS---- NOT PERFECTION! I think the simple fact that you were being aware of what a "serving" was is probably a big step, right?
ReplyDeleteIf your mom "didn't eat" in order to lose weight, it may have even messed w/ her metabolism....which would be why that same effort is not producing the same result this time. I know you're excited to share all you're learning, but she is not ready to learn it! Just keep plugging along..............maybe then next ten pounds will convince her?? Y'know what I'm saying? The proof will be when she's NOT having good results (over TIME) and you're still kicking BOOTY!!!!!!! ;)
Are you gonna have regular hours at your job? (as in- predictable?) I'm so thankful that you've had some time to get into the "game" and learn and form habits, etc. Now, as you transition into your new responsibilities, you may have to rearrange some things in order to make sure you're still making time to think ahead on fitness and nutrition.
I've no doubt you can do it and look forward to hearing what your "plans" are!!
Love you & keep it up!!!!!!!!!!
