February 29 Melissa Day 49Tommorrow I weigh in... Sorry Tammy, I don't think I lost 2.5 towards my 5 pound challenge goal. I wasn't trying that hard though to be honest. But, it is possible to lose my 5 next week if I sitck my nose to the grinder and workout 2x a day! Oh.. and eat better too. That is my challenge part! I just realized that there are only 11days left in this contest which is crazy because it's gone by fast! In one more week we will measure again because it will have been the second month. Maybe we'll just wait to the very end. My goal of 10pounds for this contest is still there, haven't made it yet. Only a few more to go! (Can you hear the sarcasm ;) ) February 28 Melissa Day 48I did lots of exercise today but I didn't write down my food or get all of my water in. I got to talk to Tammy and she's doing good! I'm proud of her. My child is screaming bloody murder right now because it's 11:30pm and he doesn't want to go to sleep. Does the going to sleep on his own ever get easier? We've been letting him cry himself to sleep for about 2mths now and ... I digress. Anyway... that's all. I'm too stressed to write anymore. Day 40-48So I just want to say that I want to forget last week except for Saturday :o) We had our favorite people come down to visit! The eating went downhill after the second day. I guess I thought if I could not blog I could forget about the calories boy was I wrong. Those pounds sure know how to creep up on you. Melissa do not give up. You did so good in Texas! (Especially since I was setting a bad example.) I am now in NC hoping my Mom will kick my bootie back into shape. I did not do anything on MOnday. Tuesday and Wednesday, I went to my Nanny and Papa's house and had lemon pie. (Just a little and boiled peanuts! OH how I love being from the south) When we got back home I worked out for 40 minutes last night and did 6 miles today. BOy am I tired.....but I sure do want to lose my 4 pounds. :o) Melissa do not give up my dear! YOu can do it....you have proved you could over and over again. DO not let all that stress get to you! Pack Mason up and go on that walk. IT will make you feel a lot better! Coley Moley and I miss ya'll dearly and talk about you a lot down here! :o) Melissa Day 47Not too much here... I have definitely lost motivation with everything else going on with life.... baby, moving, garage sale, selling the boat... blah blah excuses. I miss Tammy! She really is a great motivator for me and I don't know what I'm going to do without her in Florida! I might have to motivate myself!!! Any tips on how to make that work after years of watching what I eat and life revolving around losing weight? February 26 Melissa Day 46Did ok today with food and exercise so I'm proud of myself. I bought the Biggest Loser Cardio Blast DVD and I'm excited to try it as something new and different. I also found this little Biggest Loser magazine at Walgreens that has a plan and other info in it. I still need to read that too. Just some new things to keep me motivated! I hope Tammy is doing well and her momma is keeping her in line! Me and Mason miss you and Coley Moley! February 25 Melissa Day 40-45I've been in denile. Home for all of these days and not doing a darned thing about it. No blogging, no logging, and no jogging... Tammy being in Texas has been my excuse. I've only walked outside twice in 5 days. Me and Mason did go down and see her and Cole. We really missed them. I'm going to be so so sad when we move away because she really has been inspirational in my getting healty goals and of course such a wonderful friend. She challenged me to lose 5lbs before she gets back in 2 wks (her challenge was 4lbs). Sorry Tammy.. today not so good. I have such a funky mental block when it comes to losing weight... one little slip up and uughh it's downhill from there. I had a cheeseburger, fries, and chocolate shake for lunch. Cookies for snack and pizza (although homemade and less calories) for dinner. Do you see any fruit or vegetables there? My son is only getting older and my crappy habits are still staying horrible. I don't want to be a bad role model but I seem to be lacking the tools to change my ways. Or, maybe that's just what I tell myself. I'll keep trying and tomorrow is a new day.... my token saying.... is it getting old for you yet? Melissa Day 33-39Feb 13 - Feb 19 we were in Florida house hunting. We bought food to make our own, which I was proud of and only ate out 3 times, not including the airport. I didn't however write down everything I ate. While I was there, I weighed in and actually had lost 1.2 pounds which, again, I was proud of myself. I didn't have readily available internet access and because I didn't have to blog everyday... it almost felt like cheat time or freebie time. Because then I didn't work out everyday either. We did walk one evening and it felt good! But, that was it. I had brought Leslie Sansone with me with good intentions. But after hours of house hunting, vegging felt good. Well, what little veg I could do with a 6mth old. February 19 Day 38 and Day 39Day one eating out......I did great I think :o) I had Chick Fil a for lunch instead of french fries I had a fruit cup. :o) Dinner was a 5 ounce steak, salad, corn, and potato with butter on the side. This morning was pretty good.....fresh fruit and 1 one biscuit with gravy. Hopefully the rest of the week will go great. I will not be on the computer much. where we are staying it cost 9 dollars to get on the internet :o( You would think that the Embassy Suites could have given us free internet especially since we will be there for 3 weeks! February 17 Day 37Today has gotten away from me......I did not workout because we have been busy cleaning and packing. Tomorrow Melissa will be back in town....she has lots of things to blog about! As for me, I will be heading out in the next 30 minutes to go to Dallas. Which will be one of my biggest challenges yet...eating out and being healthy about it! Wish me luck! Day 35 and 36And the eating continues.... I really need to get a hold on it. I will not go in to detail what I ate but if you look at my cal. intake you will notice a huge amount of worthless calories that I consumed. Today should be better......we are back in our grove and packing up to go to Dallas. I will be flying home for two weeks after spending a couple of days with Craig. I am pretty sure while I am at my Mom's house, she will kick my bootie back in to shape. February 15 Day 34 Tammy's BlogWell I heard from Melissa today....She is doing great on the diet! I think she is surprising herself! I knew she could do it! She is busy looking for a house in Florida :o) I did horrible with the eating today. My family wanted Sonic and sure enough I went and bought myself a hamburger and tater tots. I could not eat the whole thing because it was making me sick. I do not know if it was my body reacting to the fat or if it was my head telling me how many calories I was putting in my body. I did go out for a 2 mile walk with Coley Moley. We walked around our neighborhood! It was beautiful outside 60 degrees :o) Day 33 Tammy's BlogAnd it continues......Blah Blah Blah! I was craving some salty food today...... I know what it is from and it is hard to want something different during this time of the month. Did not work out! I am still doing well with the eating part. The room upstairs is taking shape.....oh how I wish it was done :o) February 12 Day 32SNIFF! SNIFF! So sad that our biggest motivator is leaving us for a week. :o( I am going to try to do my best and workout (knowing Melissa will have lost a couple of more pounds by the time she comes back) Going to bed and sleeping for a very long time :o) This week's weather does not look promising! But I promise to workout tomorrow by walking the track on base......see if I can survive without Melissa and Mason. (Our little M&M) Melissa Day 32Whew... another busy day!! We leave tomorrow for a week so I'll be out of commission due to no computer access... but! I will still be good with food and I'm bringing Leslie with me to workout in the hotel room! We'll miss you Tammy and Cole! February 11 Melissa Day 31Busy busy today driving around running errands. Does that count as activity ;) ... I went to Sonic to get a soda and ended up with a corn dog and apple bites too.... The apple bites weren't even that great but I ate them all anyway. "The first bite tastes like the rest..." I need to ingrain that into my head!! Still working on the water. 30 pounds by my 30th birthday... another mantra I'm focusing on! That's about it for today. Wish it weren't so crappy outside so me and Tammy's walk could've been better. day 31Tired as can be today! My house is a big dust molecule that is giving me a headache! Unfortunately this will go on for the rest of the week. The men are doing there best trying to clean while they go but it is almost impossible to keep up with all the saw dust. Did good with the eating should have worked out more but I did manage to walk around the park with Melissa. Tammy's day 30Today I did pretty good....still sticking on the making healthy choices. I like Melissa am finding it hard to drink that water! so my little goal for the day is to drink water every time I think about food.....Man that would be like 3 gallons :o) We will see how it goes. I did weigh myself today and I lost 2.2 pounds :o) Hopefully I will stick to some working out while Melissa is away. It is not much fun if I do not have someone to workout with :o) I am going to make myself go on base and walk the track once a day until we leave for a couple of weeks to Dallas.. February 10 Melissa Day 30I did great today! (I'm trying to be more positive ;) ) Good on food and I exercised. Need to be better with the water. We are going out of town on Wed and I'm nervous about making good choices but we will have a kitchen and I will make a menu before we go so I can be prepared. It will be just fine and me and Mason are looking forward to seeing Tammy and Cole tomorrow! February 09 Melissa Day 29I did okay with the eating.... I had a huge burrito from a new place and I LOVE burritos. A little splurge never killed anyone and I will get back on the wagon tomorrow. It was a beautiful day for walking today and I'm so glad Tammy and Cole joined me and Mason. Then I went on a walk with my family (and pooch). I'm looking forward to another beautiful walking day tomorrow with T & C. Oh... plus I weighed in today and lost a pound. Small but wonderful victories. I also heard a quote today that means a lot.... "Every bite tastes just like the first." Profound isn't it? ;) Tammy's BlogWell today has been a great day. For the past two days I have been cleaning the house and getting the garage ready for my step father to come. Craig and Curtis are going to finish our unfinished room upstairs. I am proud to say that I have controlled my eating for the day. I fixed them eggs and sausage for breakfast....I had cereal. For lunch they had tortellini with white sauce while I had tuna fish on an english muffin. I made brownies and a trifle for them and church. I of course tried the chocolate cake and brownies but just a taste :o) I even worked out with Melissa. I have to go and get my crying son.....he is cutting two teeth just like his best friend! |
