Well the last few days I haven't been home, we have gone out to do errands and shopping for the wedding. I am sure I got plenty of exercise. Just not the high cardio strength training I am usually doing. I had a lot of stress at work today but tried not to pig out. We have been eating out a lot as well, I tried to make good choices while we were away though. Tonight at work I am only going to take fruits, to try and compensate for my over doing it in restaurants the last few days. I...

Well I am still not dropping pounds like everyone else here seems to be doing. I am still under my cals everyday. I am able to workout for quite a bit longer now. I think part of the reason I am not dropping the weight is because my schedule has been really off the last two weeks and I have had a little wedding planning stress. I am going to try and get some more regular sleep the next few weeks. In march I am going to vegas to research wedding venues. If I don't blow my diet (which I...

I have been at this a month now, I have done everything right, not going over my calories and working out 20, min or more a day, I have been able to do an hour on a few ocassions. I haven't lost a pound, I want to throw the scale out the window! I know a lot of you other ladies are loosing weight but I am just working my but off for nothing. the other morning I blogged about not getting a work out that day but I did fit one in right after I wrote that. my clothes ...

Well I barely ate today, I just didn't feel hungry. I tried to force myself to eat a little something on my lunch break at 2am but could only manage a few bites of my sweet potato and Thai curry and half a grapefruit. I am headed to bed soon but having some fresh fruit juice. I missed my work out today for the first time, I was just running around at work and sort of forgot to do even some jump rope (which is a killer work out btw) I will try to get up on time today( I...

Yesterday we went out for Mexican, my favorite or close to it. I stayed away from the free chips, but I ordered my "usual" without thinking, when I got home and looked up the calories I realized that in all likely hood that was 3,000 calories. It is my first slip up I think, but a biggie. It could be less, but since this was a mom and pop place I am using the outside numbers. So now I am making more healthy soup to get me through the weekend. Also I am getting very discouraged. Other than today I have...

Well I was sitting at my computer trying to make wedding plans (by the way if any of you happen to have a humongous property in LAS Vegas I could rent for a day for almost no money please let me know... guest list has been cut to 100, and I only have like 3,000 to work with total) getting really absorbed by the lack of options and depression, I refuse to let my maid of honor be right, this wedding IS POSSIBLE. When one of my WLB buddies responded to a message I had sent her. After reading her...

The last few days I have been eating out, I know this leads to a slippery slope. I think I am still under my 200 cal for all three days. I have upped my work outs to help compensate. My breakfast this morning at denny's was almost 100o cal all by itself. Even though i did that great work out last night I did another 30 min just a bit ago and now am having a sensible dinner. Denny's 1000 ( proabably less) Dinner low cal home made soup full of veggies about 100 cal grapefruit 110 Cheese 100 juice 50 Will drink lots...

I have stuck to my new diet faithfully, I think in part because it is very realistic 1800 to 2000 calories a day, and all my fruits and veggies, no soda. Most days I am a little under my 1800 calories even. I exercise everyday. Have not missed a single day yet. For at least 20 min usually more, I have trouble exercising for more than 20 min, but I can feel myself getting stronger and have been doing a little more everyday. Last night my size 20 jeans were too loose at work, so today (I work graveyard so my...

It's my day off and I wasn't able to do my daily work out, yet  (I work graveyard by the way) I had a terrible sleep because the cable dude was supposed to show up between 12 and 5 he didn't show until 6.45, I got out of bed when he finally arrived, after not sleeping much all day. Made dinner (under my calories for the day Right now I am at about 1000? but my day doesn't end until 6.00am) Have been admittedly been loafing since then, watching the new netflix arrivals and trying to get some stitching done....

This is going to sound a little strange, because I am really overweight, but I don't really eat very much. Most of the reasons I am so heavy are medical, and I don't like very many physical activities. Also I don't eat much but I do like fat filled foods. So it is hard to burn off the weight I put on.  I didn't want to count calories because its depressing, and structured, very not me in general. Today I realized I had inadvertently been cutting my calories way too much. Which of course can make the body hold on...

I think the scale I have been using is broken! Which is terrific! I started trying to get healthier on the 18th of Jan. I have worked out faithfully at least 20min, but usually 45 min, every single day since then. I have not been keeping track of my calories because that drives me insane, but I can't think of a single bad food I have eaten since the 18th, and yet had not lost a SINGLE pound! however, I tried using the WII scale today, which is far more accurate, and in truth have lost a little. Not enough...
