It's not that what, it's thw how.

Saturday, November 07, 2009

I don't know if I blogged about this before, but it stuck me today, as I inhaled two biscuits with gravy; it's not necessarily what I am eating that concerns me as much as how I am eating it. I get something that's greasy and fattening, and I attack it like it's going to vanish if I don't shove it down as fast as possible. It really bothers me, I'm like a junky. And I get it, I am. I am totally addicted to fattening food. But this eating in private thing has got to stop. If I can't consume in front of my family and friends then I shouldn't put it in my mouth. New rule, if possible eat with others. If not possible I need to be telling my husband what I'm eating.

The first step is acknowledging the problem. Now that you are thinking about how you are eating, you are on the right path! It takes time to change your habits, believe me...it has taken me a couple of year, but I think I am finally getting it now! Ha! Stay positive and keep sparking

Spinning, in a different way

Monday, October 05, 2009

I feel like I'm spinning my wheels. I don't understand why I can't get this thing under control. Though it is becoming more apparent to me that I have a deep issue with food. I guess anyone that has ever seen me knows this to be true. Apparently I am a little slower on the uptake.

I feel like I'm trying, but the scale is not moving. But I also know I could be doing a lot more. This is the same old quandary and it's getting old. I need to change my thinking or walk away from this all together. I am getting tired of hemming and hawing about food and weight loss.

I know how you feel. I have been that way for a couple of years, just hem hauling around. I have just now began to see a consistent weight loss for 5 weeks now! I am so excited. PLease don't give up. It takes us a lot of time and thinking to change our habits that we have had for years. You can do it!

I get where you're coming from! I feel the same way.

Spinning

Wednesday, August 26, 2009

I had my first spin class yesterday and wow. I knew it was going to be hard, but that kicked my butt. I had to modify after only about 5 mins out of the saddle and I had to jump off for about 5 mins half way through to stretch. I couldn't get the lactic acid in my ankle to release. But I stuck with it and feel good about myself for doing it.

Wow, that was quite a workout and I am doing it again next week. Here's to recovery!

Food Craziness

Tuesday, August 25, 2009

So here's something odd. I've been able to rework some foods in my diet and make some good choices, but I've started new bad habits to replace the old ones I'm changing. Seriously, what's wrong with my body, my head? Why does my head and body so not want to loose weight? I don't understand.

I was thinking today that for tomorrow I will take one step and just choose for that one day to stop with the new bad habits. My problem seems to be at breakfast so I will need to be very deliberate and careful with my breakfast plans tomorrow.

We like FOOD! lol : ) teri

I want this...

Tuesday, August 11, 2009

I really want to loose weight. I want this more than anything in the world. I would give anything to be 150 lbs lighter. It really hit my today on my way home from the gym. I have a friend trying to talk me into a sprint tri next summer. I am all for it, then thought of the little walk/jog that I'm currently doing. It's sad, pathetic, funny and I don't really want anyone I know to see me doing it. I mean there's fat and slow, then there's FAT and SLOW. I'm currently in the latter category. But I really want to do this tri, but I don't want to look silly. And I really just want to loose some weight so I don't have to worry about that anymore.

Start living your life the way you want it to be. If you let a small number of folks intimidate you, you're the one losing. You can lose weight, you can be active, you can have the happiness you seek from both. Look at what you've already accomplished!

I also am in the FAT and SLOW category for my Walk/Jog, but I am so done with this extra weight I no longer care who sees me. I need to do what I need to do and others that know you are going to think "wow she is working hard for what she wants" and not "what is she doing" - I hope. LOL. I signed up for a 5K and started the couch potato to 5K group. Week one for me!!!

go for it do not let anyone intimaadate you from making your dreams happen!

CAROBCHIP 8/11/2009 8:29PM

I agree with the previous poster. You can do it and in your own way. Don't let what others *may* think stop you from doing what you want to do. Truthfully, you'll probably find that your support network will grow when you try (no pun intended!) new things and that any haters will be a small, insignificant percent. You go girl; do your thang

Kristy, if you really want this then you will make it. Set the race as a goal, you may not be the fastest but you will have tried. That is all that we can do!
