A new day...

The idea of all of this is intimidating...it's going to be fighting all theses cravings. I threw what I could out but some of it is hubbies and he's just not ready to give it all up. So the days are not easy and the nights are even harder...
So I will just keep plugging on and trying my best. I did have 4 cheezies am not a big fan of chocolate, I rarely have it, but it never fails every time I start cutting out stuff...I crave chocolate. The one thing I really don't care for. I've been eating way to many nuts...but there better then what I could be eating.

So all in all it's been an OK two days...

The rest of this week is going to be stressful so I guess we will see how I fair...

Wish me luck...

I am horrible at this...

I really am...it's one day running into the next and pretty soon a week has gone by. Then a month...I blinked my eyes and we've almost been in the new house for a year. It's crazy...
I found out on Monday that I have Osteoarthritis in both knees. I was really hoping for better news...oh, we'll just go in and repair it...you'll be good as new. At 41 it was and is a little hard to swallow... My right is worse then my left it's already starting to click...anyway I guess you have figured out that I have not been exercising...and yes I have gained my weight back...what's new. I can't seem to stick with anything I do.
So I'm starting again...back on track starting Monday! Cross my heart and not hope to die but hope to stick to my diet...an easy going regiment of yoga and Pilate's...hoping to buy an elliptical soon. The rest is strengthening my calf muscles...I guess we'll just see how everything goes...onward and upward...oops downward...

see you all on Monday...

A horrible week...

I have always had problems with my knees, since a skiing accident at 14. A couple bike accidents at 15 didn't help either. The pain and swelling have never really lasted more then a few days but this time it has lasted 2 weeks. The swelling is finally down but the pain is more then I can live with. I've been to the doctor over and over. Have been putting off the inevitable MRI and probably knee surgurey.
On top of it all Devyn, my 9 yr old, has been home sick all week. Which throws everything off, including my eating habits. Not out of control or totally horrible but not my usual eating every few hours. So tired by the end of the night that I don't hear anything and that's not like me at all. I have always heard the kids. Even when they just go to the washroom, I hear it. Last night my daughter was sick and crying and I didn't hear a thing. Then to top it all off I wake up totally exhausted.
So I haven't worked out at all in 10 days. Which will explain way I gained 1.2 pnds...Grrrrrrrr.
I have a doctors appt. on Tuesday, so I guess we'll go from there.

Week 3 weight - 161.2 pnds

Will have to work harder next week. Eat more, get in a workout or two, if I can manage the pain.

Switching it up...

Well...disappeared for a while...a long while. Nothing was working and I got so frustrated so I ditched the diet thing completely. My life got really hectic and I was exhausted. It's time to get back on track. I can't go back on a low carb diet. I've tried and tried but my willpower to do it just isn't there. So I'm going to switch it all up a bit. I started watching my calories more. Which I never did before at all. I am still watching my carbs 2 days a week. The rest of the week is more watching my calories. So far so good...

Starting weight - 165.8
Week 1 weight - 163.4
Week 2 weight - 160.0

Haven't seen my weight change in months and am surprised at how much better my jeans fit with just 5 pnds gone. As long as it keeps going I will be really happy. My knees have been really bad this week so I haven't been working out this week...maybe next week will be better.

Grey Cup on Sunday...yay. Were having a bunch of friends over. Should be fun. Will be cheering for Saskatchewan!!!!

Have a good one:)

Great weekend...

Well it was Wrestlemania 25 this weekend. That says it all...my diet went out the window. Chicken wings...one good, one bad, dried ribs, veggies...not bad so far, shrimp with a little cocktail sauce...still doing good. Had some garlic sausage and cheese and a few tortilla chips. The bad part was the booze. Tried to stick to a few vodka's and diet Pepsi but there was some new VEX Bananatini's ...had to try it. Well 1 turned into 4...definitely MY BAD...

All else is good. About as packed as were going to get for now...it's nice to see such an empty basement. Can't wait...

Make it a good one...
