ok so 153 today and i will not be weighing myself again till friday. i will not. no snow today equaled white castle. tho i only ate 2 burgers a small fries and my fried clams. love them there. was not a real good lunch. add on my hubby is at the moment picking up ruby tue go dinner and its been a good yummy wise but bad lose weight wise food day. add in its saturday so i didn't do any exercise beyond squats and sit ups this morning. i also know tomorrow is not going to be a good food day weight loss wise either. its superbowl and i plan on eating some good junk food at dads as always. will probably eat light most of the day until i get to my dads at four. and then of course make up for being good. and getting ready for dads, then working, then hanging at dads doesn't leave much exercise time. so starting monday since i don't have colin till later and probabl;y won't have roxanne too much i can work my butt off all week. tae o first off than someting fun like richard simmons later and of course a quick ab workout. i'll get all three in all five days. i will!
yesterday i did richard simmons 80's blast off. forgot how much fun it was. so pulling more of those out again will keep me going. and if i can't do the fun one till billy has kicked my ass in tae bo then it should help me get there. but after bad eating weekend i do not want to see that scale get right back up where i started. so friday morning, and hopfully i'll still be at 152 or even lower where i should be by then anyway. esp if didn't have this bad weekend. but thats life and thats what i'm doing so hopefully my counter attack plan will work.

change it up
i was so psyched the first of this month. very happy where i had gotten and what i had done in a month. then i don't know what the hell happened but just felt done. was sick of exercising was sick of watching everything i ate. was sick of it. didn't want to move much less exercise yesterday so i did not. napped on the couch while colin slept nicely. what a treat. maybe it was having him all day for four days that was wearing me out anymore. if thats the case maybe it's best there is non #5. or most likely will not be. been thinking about that more and more almost like i'm running out of time for if its going to happen.
anyway i blew off yesterday. ate ok calorie-wise anyway, at least until dinner. i wanted food but i didn't want to make it. i didn't care what it was i just didn't want to be bothered. well that didn't work wound up making a snack of mozzerella sticks. which i ate 4-5 i think. and then felt full. the kids wolfed down the rest and bugged for more. since i had the oil going i did some onion rings, french fries and dinosaur chickens so at least they had some meat. oh and since i was planning on quesadillas for dinner made a few of those too. i of course whild making it all had a little of everything else, tho no more mozz sticks. and then to top it off made a yummy milkshake for dessert. i was royally stuffed after that. the sad part is i know if i had stayed away from the kitchen or made stuff i didn't have to eat( i cannot make fries and not eat them!) i'd have been fine on the 4-5 mozz sticks. instead i stuffed myself i weighed 154 this morning. which royally pissed me off. so i have to do something. esp now i'm behind 2lbs. so its the kids fault not mine. hahaha
then we get to today. i started out ok, did my crunches and then someextras before emily even left for school. and of course my squats and this other ab exercise i forgot all about for way back. got on the bike and did 3 and a half miles before roxanne got here. she left about 2 hours later and it was getting close to lunch time. again i just wanted food i didn't have to make, but not a damn lean cuisine. i have my favorites now and then theres those i don't like as much or don't think i'm going to like as much, those are the ones still left in the freezer. my fav is the chicken with mashed pots and some kind of cornbread stuffing. had it twice would have bought it again in pathmark the other night but of course they did not have it. was tempted to get my old favorite hungry man dinner of beer battered chicken and cheese fries. mmmm soo good, think i checked once and its like 8-900 calories. way off from little lean cuisine which maxes at like 350. at least i think thats the highest one i ate. loke it when its in the 200's tho.
anyway getting pissed at myself and thinking about taking a ride to while castle. being i've been feeling the crave and was figuring on hitting them up 2moro at lunch time, but now with snow coming i doubt it'l happen. if i do go to work i won't be driving myself which means i'm at the mercy f my coworkers for getting me something if they go out or bringing something along. i could call my dad to go to lunch but he wouldn't go there. thought my hubby was hitting the gym after work today and was going to bribe him to stop for me as its not too far from the gym, but he decided to go this morning instead. guess i'll be craving a little longer.
as my stomach keeps growling at me i throw in a potato with the bread i'm making for superbowl and figure i'll be fine with that even if i throw cheese on it. i know its going to take awhile to cook so i ate a bowl of puffed wheat and a little glass of choc milk and i'm real good now. not even craving that potato tha i can smell cooking. in the meantime i tried a new dvd i got from work. zumba fitness beginners. very short, not even 20 mins. and pretty simple. actually didn't feel like it did much for me. also the guy talks in spanish and then the girl tell you what to do after they've done the step like twice already. so pretty annoying. doubt i'll be doing it again. so then i tried the 10min solution dvd i got also. only did the abs one for 10 min and it was good. knowing i need to work my abs and stomcah the most i think i'll get that in every day i can. i can get into 2 size six pairs of shorts, they just look like shit. actually from my feet to the top of the shorts they look pretty good and are just a little tight and not too comfy to sit in. its the rolls of flappy skin that are above the shorts that make me look like shit. so thats whats got to get worked on and gotten rid of. these were my go to shorts. the ones i wore when nothing else fit in the summer. so i still cannot fit into them comfortably i still need to get my ass moving.
thinking i just have to do something else for awhile. at least a different dvd. maybe go back to some of the sweatin to the oldies and stuff. maybe i can get one in before everyone else gets home.

152
very tired today. colin is napping and i should have done my tae bo cardio. i started did the first five mins and shut it off. just don't feel it and don't want to. i walked in front of the tv while watching the good wife from last night for the 40 mins i'd have done it tho. so better than nothing i guess. hopefully my body just need a rest day. slept actually ok so it makes no sense. i did exercise late yesterday as i had colin and rox to babysit and of course jake with me all day. so i did my bike 20 miles between 4-6pm. late for me since i usually get it in early. yesterday that just wasn't heppening and i was good and got in in. so of course today when its easier i'm lazy. whatever. maybe i should lie on the couch and nap with colin while jake plays the wii. don't know if i could sleep though just body feels tired. i also had myself jacked up thinking about driving tonight in the snow as soon as i got up this morning. it looks like its melting and getting better out so hopefully driving tonight won't be too bad. i need to get to work and get my paycheck. was planning on dropping it in the bank and hitting the grocery store after too. we'll see how the roads are later and if that happens. so hopefully it warms up enough to melt everything and no icy roads tonight.
jake was thrilled his fav game on the wii fit plus is the snowball fight so of course he had to get out this morning and get his hands on a real snowball. he hid one behind his back to bring int the house. played with it for a bit and now it is much smaller and sitting in a bowl in my freezer. was not happy when he left it on the table and it started leaving a puddle.
hope i don't mess up my nice 152 today by not doing anything much. i have the biggest loser to watch too so when i kick jake off the tv later if colin is being good maybe i can get a bit more walking in. yeah i know its not much but its better than sitting on the couch watching. at least the body is moving.

month #1
so january is over. went by surprisingly fast. february always goes quick as it's shorter and the kids have a vacation too. i think i did pretty damn good. 153 this morning so 6 lbs total loss for jan!!!! now if i can keep that up till july i'll be smokin. i don't expect 6 every month but hey it would be nice. of course we'll see how it all goes.
one thing i really loved when i started all this weight loss stuff three years ago was the tv special "you on a diet" it came from the book of the same name which i have since read most of. and now dr. oz even has his own show. though i do not get to watch it much i'll see if the topic is something interesting to me when i do catch it on. i talked about seeing other numbers go down as opposed to just the one on the scale and this is where i got it all from. i watched the special countless times whenever i needed a good kick in the ass to get me moving again and its great to watch if you can get your hands on it. i know my library has a copy on dvd so u can get it at yours too. same goes for the book. tho even if you just skim through and take a what you want from it thats good too. but it's definitely worth checking out. three years ago by the time i stumbled onto this stuff i had already lost a good thirty lbs or so so i can only imagine what the size of my waist was when i started. when i measured with still a ways to go i was 36". i did get down to 26" at my smallest that summer. so when i measured my waist again this january and it was back at 36" i was not happy. i am quite pleased to say that i have dropped 2 1/2 inches this past month and am now 33 1/2. i wasn't expecting much when i measured this morning but it had been a month and also yesterday for work i fit into yet another old favorite pair of pants. nice warm green corduroy pants someone had given me that are great when its freezing out. and tho they sound pretty bad they look pretty fine. at least to me. but maybe the warmth of them helps my opinion. i'll have to ask my husband what he thinks and get back to you for sure on that one.
he went back to the gym finally this morning and i've very proud of him. he's going to be exhausted when he gets home as he got up at 4 to have the extra hour there. god knows i could never do that. would never. my sleep is too precious. i also have the luxury of most days home somehow finding time to fit in a workout even if i have two extra children to watch and work later on. again i'm the one who hardly wears sneakers when working out cause it takes an extra 2 minutes to put them on. thats two minutes i could have exercised and been done already so i'm certainly not adding in drive time to a gym or take away sleep time. but you have to find whatever works for you. i want to help him but i'm trying not to push. just little things that could make a big difference. i know he tell me to shut up if i start to bother him with it. and thats a big key. it's really all you. what you want and how you want to do it. whats going to work for you and whats not. little sneaky things to do different, i think i've gotten good at finding those. but you have to be the one to do it. colin is here and crying now, has been for a few min now, so i must go but will fill you in on some sneaky things soon.
