6月10日 woo hooSo just busted my butt for 12 mins... up from 10 mins.... on my elliptical that I am so fortunate to have in my house so no excuses and I only burned 100calories!!! That is half of the pieces of chocolate that I had today. Well, that puts food in perspective. Now I will look at food like "how many minutes on the elliptical will it take to burn this off?". But I feel good for exercising today. I also lifted weights so I'm doing good. I've been reading the Biggest Loser Book that lays out the plan for you with the calories and exercises. I also made a list of weekly rewards that I'm going to give myself each week when I reach my goal. This weeks goal is to only eat out lunch less than twice.... then I get to buy a pretty bra! So far so good.... only once and that was yesterday... wait, husband brought home chinese food on Sunday so I guess that's twice. Still doing good though. I might be working out of my funk Tammy!! 5月28日 Good Attitude!Way to go Tammy!! I love the positive attitude and your realization! So true... we are just working on forming our healthy habits and it will take a while and some hard work to do it! I didn't throw out the cookies yesterday, I ate the rest. While doing the dishes I saw my double chin in the faucet and Randy took a picture of me working on the floor in the office and I couldn't believe that was me because I'm so huge... so... today is Day 1 of my WW program. I will write everything down and get my healthy eating in BEFORE I eat stuff that's not so great and my goal this week is to finish my water each day. I'm going to print off pictures of myself and put them all over the place because my perception is different from reality. I don't perceive myself as being that bad but then reality gives me a picture or a video and I am stunned at how huge I've let myself get and STAY at!!! So... the journey STARTS today! 5月18日 Keep on Truckin'Weekly blog time!! Up one pound this week... blah.... I even walked every day AND home cooked meals for lunch and dinner... I did have blended iced coffees often. Maybe that's what did it.... but it's ok becuase I'm going to keep on truckin'. I have the menu planned for the week and one day this week I will reread my WW stuff to get remotivated. That's about it for now :) Keep up the good work Tammy.. you think you're doing bad but at least you're not going up! 5月10日 I remembered!!!It's Saturday and I'm back in a routine. It was funny, I told husband I was going to go blog and he said "Oh.... I thought you had given up on that?!" HA!!! I said NO! I do it for Tammy... and me of course because it does help. Well, I missed weighing in at Weight Watchers because of extranuous circumstances but I think I'd be up anyway so oh well. But I wrote down all my food today and despite the homemade milkshake to shake the blues away, not too shabby with the eating. I have the whole week planned out, breakfast lunch and dinner so I will be back on track! We found a 1.5 mile walk around our streets and started that last night. I even did some abs after the walk tonight. Yay me!!! More positivity right Tammy! What would Ali do? GO PINK! 5月5日 Guess Who's Back!! Whew! I'm here Tammy!!! Boy do I miss you terribly. But, we will do great on our own in different states. Should we update our website since the competition is over? Ok... down and dirty. I suck!! Lots of stress and crap going on as Tammy has wonderfully kept track of for me. But today is a new day to keep track of my calories and work on my goals. My goals for the week: 1) 15min of abs each day, 2) drink my water 3)record my food. So far for 2 days I've not done anything for those 3 but again... today is a new day! No more excuses because I'm tired of looking at my fat butt in the mirror. And not having any clothes to wear. My sick child is finally asleep so even though I don't want to do anything but read my book (Valerie Bertinelli's "Losing It") I will go do my abs after I drink 2 glasses of water! Oh.. my new thing is thinking PINK!! What would Ali do? I gravitate towards pink things now to remind me that I can do it because Ali did it! Thank you Tammy for being there for me. Even though I know you don't think you do anything for me, just talking to me about this stuff helps to keep me motivated. :) 3月11日 Melissa Day 60!! Last one!!Day 59.... went to bed and felt like I forgot something and then at 3 this morning realized it was my blog! Yesterday was fine though, nothing major.
Day 60
Final day of the challenge is here. We did our final measurements and interview. I am proud of our results and am grateful for this challenge. Tammy has been a wonderful and inspiring partner. It definitely helped to have her to workout with and there was a difference in my motivation when she was gone. I feel as though I let her and myself down occassionaly (sp?), as well as my son, when I would cheat or not workout. This weight loss journey of mine has been LONG and I have the tools to continue I just need to STICK WITH IT! Being introduced to this website and seeing all of the other people on the same path as me has been inspiring.
Thank you NBC and The Biggest Loser for giving me another shot of motivation to help with my weight loss goals through this competition. It has been fun! Thanks to all of you folks who read our blog and comment on our ups and downs. And a BIG thank you to Tammy for being a wonderful friend and not letting me be my worst enemy. I look forward to losing more weight with you as my partner! 3月9日 Melissa Day 58Nothing much to say here... did pretty good today, feeling pretty good. Getting ready to move is exciting and helps burn calories. It was a BEAUTIFUL day outside and my family had a wonderful walk at the park. The rest of the week looks nice and I'm excited about that too. I can't believe this competition is over the day after tomorrow! I'm excited to find out that we won ;) And to see how many inches we lost this past month. Only two more blogging days! 3月8日 Melissa Day 57Day 56
.... can't remember what happened yesterday but I didn't blog or write down my calories or truly exercise for that matter... I did go shopping though. That should count!
Day 57
Weighed in this morning and lost 2 pounds! That, to be honest, seemed like a miracle to me considering the lack of tracking and exercising last week but hey.... I'll take it! Today was pretty good since I was on my weight-loss-high and had a shot of motivation. That always feels good! I moved lots of boxes, walked around the mall and went for a 1mile walk with the dog. Not too shabby! OHHH! I almost forgot what made me proud today... I went to mindlessly snack on ChexMix at the computer and realized what I was doing and put it away!!! THAT IS HUGE FOR ME... to be aware of my eating. And now Tammy is home and all is right in the world :) 3月6日 Melissa Day 55Alrighty... another day! Another lost workout, another calorie eaten... where did my motivation go? You would think all I could do is look at my baby and be motivated but my 30 years of bad habits just overpower any "fit fairy" voice in my head. My sister and I came up with the "fat fairy" and the "fit fairy" as those voices in your head that tell you to eat or not to eat. I need to ressurrect (sp?) those guys again! They sit on your shoulder. Tammy's flight got delayed until Saturday... boo hoo... I will dedicate my 3 mile Leslie workout to you tomorrow Tammy! 3月5日 Melissa Day 54Day 53 came and went as I went to bed very tired and chose not to blog.
Day 54 has been good. I found out that my insurance will pay for my breast reduction and I'm so excited about that because then life will be easier with my baby and exercising once these $%&* boobs are off. I thank them for the little milk they gave Mason but now they need to go so that I can be happier and skinnier. I did do Leslie yesterday like my goal said, not the water though. No exercising today but I did do lots of shopping so I think that counts. Tammy comes home in 2 days and I can't wait to hang out with her and Coley :) 3月3日 Melissa Day 52STOP READING THIS RIGHT NOW TAMMY!!!!
Are there such things as free-to-eat-fat-days? I started out ok actually but then it got worse and the yucky weather kept me inside again and my DVD player MUST be broken because.... it.... doesn't.... play.... Leslie.... for me.... on .... it's .... own like it should and then my hand must've been broken too because my butt didn't shake to a fun song like Tammy. THen I had 2 cavities filled, PMS'd my way through an evening tiff with hubby because he is a man and doesn't understand so I decided to make my life and my mouth feel better with a McDonald's chocolate shake and oh some french fries too. But does my heart feel better? No, of course not. Are there pills to make the week before the . any better? There are pills for everything so I would assume so. Anyway, blah and yuck and here we go again. This sore mouthed and headache from crying fatty is going to bed to dream of skinnier smaller boobed hip pain free days.....oh there is my child, crying again. Please just fall asleep my cutie babe...
Darn it... I just read yesterday's goals and by golly did I forget I made those! Ok, I am writing them on my post it right now and they will be a reminder ALLL DAY tomorrow! I will complete them! :) 3月2日 Melissa Day 51Big Sunday at home. My husband actually had the day off from work he had to do so we were leisurely today. It was nice. But then the calories go up and the workouts go down. It was VERY windy today so no walks outside. We did manage a little shopping and I did chores around the house which felt good. But I coulda woulda shoulda done Leslie since we were homebound but I honestly don't know where the time went and before I knew it the day was over. Crazy how time flies. Okay... baby steps! Tomorrows goals are 1. to drink all of my #$&* water because I haven't in FOREVER!!!! and 2. to do Leslie 3miler ( I have to start small Tammy because it's been a while and I don't want to pass out... ) I can hear your dissappointment through the internet cables, but now it's passed and you're proud that I'm doing SOMETHING!!!! love you ;) 3月1日 Melissa Day 50Whew I'm tired! Weighed in and I'm up .6... sorry Tammy! But I tracked my food today and I worked my garage sale for 7 hours then I took the dog for a half hour walk and celebrated with a yummy salad dinner. And a pizookie (pizza cookie with ice cream) that 4 of us split. Oh my god was it worth the calories. SOOOO yummy. Only 6 more days for Tammy and Cole to come home! :) 2月29日 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 ;) ) 2月28日 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. 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? 2月26日 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! 2月25日 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. 2月12日 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! |
