How’s the week going for y’all? I had a not so great weekend, diet wise, but I’ve done really well so far this week, and the key is to just take it one day at a time. If I sound like a 12 Step program, so be it. It’s working for me.
I admit it though…it took hitting a low point. Every other time I’ve tried to get my diet back under control it was because I hit a high point, as in a high point on the scale. Not this time, this time it was a low point. I know I’m heavy enough that if I went to my Dr. he’d suggest Gastric Bypass, but I’m stubborn, and I’ve decided to put that stubborn streak to use. You see, I’m not real fond of Doctors, and definitely not fond of surgery. I’ve lsot wrehgt before, adn I’m going to do it again ..and this time, it’s going to last. I’m 38 years old now, and my body is feeling it. I can’t afford to see-saw in this department any longer.
So I am determined. First thing to go…Pop.
Yep. Even though I’m am near a deadline, I’ve cut it out, except for one glass a day when I am at work. I can’t have it in my house because then I drink it, and I don’t eat. I have to say, in the last three days I’ve gotten back intothe habit of water, water and more water, and it’s making a difference. A lot of my carb cravings have sorta left…not all of them..but a lot. LOL
ANd I was doing good back at the gym until stuff happened at work and I had to start work this week every day an hour and a half early…and I just could not drag my ass out of bed early enough to make it. So today, I’m aiming to go after work…it has to be done, because I have sexy clothes I want to wear!
Thanks everyone who’s been sending stuff to me, I’m going to use it all..just not all today. *grin* Today I chose this poem that Laurie sent me. Hope it helps you keep going!
Twas the month after Christmas and all through the house
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.
The cookies I’d nibbled, the eggnog I’d taste.
All the holiday parties had gone to my waist.
When I got on the scales there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber).
I’d remember the marvellous meals I’d prepared;
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,
The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese
And the way I’d never said, “No thank you, please.”
As I dressed myself in my husband’s old shirt
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt—
I said to myself, as I only can
“You can’t spend a winter disguised as a man!”
So–away with the last of the sour cream dip,
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished
Till all the additional ounces have vanished.
I won’t have a cookie–not even a lick.
I’ll want only to chew on a long celery stick.
I won’t have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie,
I’ll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.
I’m hungry,
I’m lonesome,
and life is a bore—
But isn’t that what January is for?
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all and to all a good diet!
LOL GREAT poem…and rather fitting. Way to go on giving up the soda!!!!
Yeah Sasha on giving up pop! Girl you will see the difference in a month, trust me.
I tell you I haven’t felt this good in along time. I’m working out 3X a week, drinking a lot of water, which means I’m eating less of the sweat stuff and eating good food 6X a day in small portions. Oh and I’ve quit eating after 8 at night. I can feel the difference and today I noticed the difference. I put on my usually tight black pants, and they weren’t tight. Yeah!
Wish I could take credit for the poem, but I “took” it from a reading loop.
Kudos on the pop. I’m a huge Diet Coke addict – I try to limit myself to two a day, drinking water or Propel the rest of the time, but geez is it ever a challenge. I crave it from the moment my feet hit the floor in the morning. I notice a huge difference in my waist and my feet and ankles when I drink less though. I’m back to working out three times a week, walking more and eating less fat and sugar – it doesn’t take long to feel the difference, if you can just get over the initial shock and get yourself in the right mindset.
Sasha…YEAH!! to sticking with you diet. I don’t know if I can give up soda…diet pepsi is like my med to make it through the day!!
I LOVE the poem…I have to share on the loop!! :jump:
YAY on the not tight pants Vivi!! That’s so awesome!.
And yay for the others going to the gym three days a week.
Amie, the pop. UGH, It wasn’t bad when I coudl have a glass at work, I think the weekend might kill me though. I’m determined. 🙂
I’ve tried the three days a week thing, it doesn’t work for me. I need to go five or six days a week. LOl Which is why it sucks my schedule at work got changed again, after I asked to start later specifically so I could work out before work. But, what can I o? I need to to pay the bills.
Laurie, that’s exactly right about the mind set. It’s all about how bad do you want it.
Okay, I’m horrible at remember to visit blogs, but I’ll try to be here every Thursday to see how it’s going with you and to check in. My goal is to work out more. Maybe this will hold me accountable. I may set my computer to remind me, maybe then I’ll get it all done.
Congrats on starting, and good luck with keeping it up!
Hey Nikki! Welcome.
I’m looking into ways to have it so people can subscribe…as well as a counter to track our goals and such. Hopefully I’ll have them for next weeks post! 😀
