Met this thing called REALITY last night and it SLAPPED me in the face!(major support needed)

Thursday, February 04, 2010

Okay here it goes....
over the last month i havent been losing any weight and i noticed that a pair of my athletic shorts were getting tighter, compared to how loose they had become. I kept asking myself and everyone else, WHY im still eating well, and working out what the hell is the deal..Well yesterday morning i weighed my self on my NEW scale and it said i was 259.8( what no way i havent gained that much) i told my self no big deal new scale, so i got out my old one just to compare and holy crud youll never believe what it read, yup you guessed it 2599(no.8 cause its not digital)
I asked myself WHY and quickly answered myself "well i have gained muscle and that weighs more than fat, o and yeah i did eat out last night, and i havent had the chance to work it off"excuses for my weight gain.. Then it happend i walked from the kitchen into the dinning room,no biggie, wrong--to get there i have to walk infront of my worst enemy the MIRROR..(although lately we worked out a friendship that was getting better)..SO much for that.
I caught myself in the mirror and BAM that damn reality came outta no where and BAM right in the face it slapped me...
As i looked in the mirror i noticed my body was looking well flabby again and starting to look like the body that i looked at the day i started this..I dont know if it was in my head or not but when i first started this and started losing i would look in the mirror adn could see points that my fat had shrunk a bit and gotten tighter.
I again started to ask my self "WHY?" and i dont know what happened when that reality hit me in the face but it knocked something loose, cause all the sudden i knew why..
Gee could it be that ive been eating fast food lately and more than i even used to, or could it be that i may workout pretty good when i do, Key when i DO, which hasnt been constant like it was..And even though on most days when im home, i stay in my calorie range, those days that i go out or eat fast food, im sure i go WAY over and i DONT track, ugg..Gee could part of it be, that im not getting up til 11:00 on weekdays(after i get my daughter off to school around seven i go back to bed) when i had started getting up at 9:30everyday.
What happened to the excited to be losing weight ME, the one that could go through drive through with her family and say NO ill wait til i get home, or the ME that said im going to my workout room to workout, or the ME that said its my strength training day ill be lifting,or the ME who said okay kids its my turn to use the dvd player, you can either watch me or go watch a movie in your rooms, and busted out the workout dvds and got so sweaty i HAD to shower before i did anythign else..?????? Where did that person go, i like that person so much better....
Now that i know why im not losing and have gained some back ive made the decision im going to start over completely new..when i say this dont get me wrong, im gonna start today with eating decent and tracking it, but started Monday i will actually set my work out days again and do them, now keep in mind this doesnt mean i wont be working out til then, cause i do tend to jump on my bike for 15-20 min and lift weights when i feel like it and been playing the tennis and boxing on my wii(waiting for wii fit) that i actually where myself out and realized i need to stretch before and after cause my shoulder is killing me...But today im going to take my personal workout and semi tracking book i have, and im going to fill in what i need to be doing each day, and so onnn and start really following it again on Monday....
I'm also thinking about redoing some of my short term goals, like water intake, waking up at 9:30, but think im gonna start at 10:00 and work my way to 9:00,journaling and blogging..I think im gonna take myself into step 1, anyone think this is a good idea? or a bad idea? Personally i really think it will help me get back on track, plus in my mind it will be like starting this new thing again and hopefully i will buckle back down and this time stay on the track...

I would appreciate any support i can get, whether it be, comments here or on my blog pages, or even adding me as a friend or personal inbox mail, anything will be helpfull....

ps-i have a wonderful sparkbuddy (chelsibelsie) that i try to keep up dated with, but id love to another person, exspecially if you have a facebook, because im on it all the time and love to chat, but someone who maybe would help keep me on track, any takers add me...thanks everyone and keep up the good work, and if your like me lets start over we can do this...and thank you ahead for all the support and comments......

getting and oil change and starting over.....

    You have the momentum going by your statements so build on that. I messed up myself yesterday and this morning I am kicking myself. I know better by now. The thing is you know what has to be done and you are doing it! emoticon emoticon.

    hey I too am a facebook addict if you would like add me my e-mail is valdebolt@yahoo.com just add a short note saying spark friend or something so i'll know who you are. I am pretty new to the sparkian family I started a few weeks ago. My biggest thing has been giving up soda pop Before i started sparkpeople i bet i drank 1200 calories a day in the form of orange crush and we wont even talk about my lack of moving or the ungodly junk food i lived on.

I know it's strange but getting to encourage others is encouraging to me...lol

    It can be SO, so easy to slip out of a routine, and that can create chaos with our bodies. The thing is, you are so insightful... this whole blog is an amazing testament to the wonderful person you are. So get back out there and give it your best! I'm cheering you on :)

  I could totally relate to your post. Hang in there girl. Don't worry about tomorrow, focus on today. Each day of changes in creating a healthy lifestyle will create a place that you want to be in. You can do it, you have to set your mind on it to succeed and not give up. emoticon

    You can do this! I had that realization in October when I went to put on my wedding dress to wear for Halloween. It wouldn't zip, or even come close to zipping. I kept telling myself "The dress must have shrunk, there's no way it doesn't fit". Well, I weighed in almost 15 pounds heavier than I was 4 months earlier, so yeah, it wasn't the dress.
Consider this a new start and forgive yourself for the mistake. You CAN make up for this and keep this blog as a reminder of how much it sucks when you stop paying attention.
It happens to the best of us, keep going and give it another shot!


little bit of this and a little bit of that!

Wednesday, January 27, 2010

Well this week hasnt been to bad. ive worked outlike double all week so thats a huge plus. Ive been having this problem with getting hungry right before i go to bed, so im gonna try an experiment and i know that your supposed to eat breakfast.
well im gonna try to not eat breakfast or at least not until 10:00 10:30 when i actually get hungry.
it seems to make me hungrier at night if i do eat early, but i find if i eat breakfast around 10:00-10:30 then lunch around 2-3 then a small snack around 6 when my kids eat dinner then my dinner around 9 when my husband gets home , i stay fuller that way and am not as hungry through the day and deffintally not when i go to bed, so we'll see..

another lil self experiment i did today(kinda silly) is i decided to eat everythign with a fork, EVERYTHING. it deffintally took me longer to eat my lunch, i mean come on how many peas can you get on a fork at once, haha so maybe if i do that it will help me slow down at eating.....

I also started the jillian michaels 30 DS today again, i was doing this for awhile but felt like i wasnt good enough at it, but ive been missing it, so i decided who cares if im as good as them who cares if i dont do jumping jacks the whole time but run in place for half the time, im still at least working out and deffintally sweating.. so i enjoy it and im gonna do it again and enjoy it this time and not get down on myself...Then maybe ill be able to do all the jumping jacks soon enough...YAY

well have a wonderful weekend everyone, sorry if my blogs are weird and not the best, im not very good at this blogging thing,. but trying to get it in at least once a week...

Heres to working out and eating right!!!

goodluck all

    I love Jillian Michaels!! I haven't done that video but I do watch The Biggest Loser hahaha. I'm glad this week has been going well for you--and don't worry about not being able to do all of the workouts--go at your own pace and you will definitely get better--Have a great week!!

    I love the 30 DS! I have issues with the pushups and just about everything else arm related. Apparently, my arms lack muscle big time. Don't beat yourself up if you can't do it all. I've been doing it for a week now and have noticed that I can do a lot more now than before. When I first started, I could barely do 1 pushup. Now I can do 5 in a row, then rest then do 5 more. Definitely an improvement! emoticon


over the weekend i felt light on my feet!!!
