I am still working on things, but I got my walk in last night, and I have my meals planned for the day to make it without donuts.

Today I would really like to refocus my efforts .  I have not been exercising, and truthfully I feel really bad for my dogs.  I also have been slipping in eating.  So, far I am lucky that my week and a half detour has not resulted in the scale going up, but I know that pattern cannot hold much longer.  I will get it together.  I am about to go eat breakfast.  I will hit subway get a healthy sub and some tea to start my day off.  I plan on taking my dogs out for a walk today too.  Will someone check on me later tonight and ask me if I have gone on my walk.  My ipod is loaded and ready to go with me.  I am ready to start the day off right.

I never realized what eating healthy does to your body.  Back in the day I could go to mc donalds and eat the meal whatever that was and have a large coke and want more to drink.  Now that’s not the case.  I ate mc donalds for the first time in a while and I ate about a third of the burger, twenty fries, and about 10oz of the coke before I was very stuffed.  I like to see some of the process that i have made.  I know when you are talking about eating fast food that is not that great, but it progress, and I don’t plan on eating out often.  Hope everyone is doing well and noticing their improvements as well.

I love how your strength continually goes up and down in your daily quest to make good health decisions.  There are some days when the way I look in my undies is enough to get me to the gym or make a good food choice, and there are times when that’s not enough.  I will really have to work on my focus for right now.  It’s time to step up the work to get the number on the scale going down and my health and strength going up.  Hope everyone’s going well.  Keep workin’ on your fitness.

Biggest Loser tonight!!!

It was difficult, but I made it through the weekend, and I made it through with flair.  I even figured out how to work in workouts even though I work nearly 15 hours on my feet.  I have decided that it is time to up my intensity on workouts and get my endurance up because right now it’s shameful.  Every time I go to my university gym and feel embarassed to be the fat person jiggling and out of shape I just tell myself that I do not have this equipment at home and I can never get where I want to be with out working out and I just do my thing.  I hope everyone else in a similar situation as me remembers this when they need it.  I have just a couple of days before I weigh in and I am ready.  It has been a good week, and I am ready for the next one to be even better.

Weekends are the most difficult for me.  My schedule is completely different than during the week, and my temptation (donuts) due to my job are greatly increased.

Plan to be successful:

Saturday Breakfast- Oatmeal with blueberries and peanutbutter, half a chicken breast

Snack- English muffin pb&j

Lunch-tv dinner

Exercise:

30 min walk and 45 min x-bike at the gym

Sunday

Breakfast-tv dinner

Snack @ work

I know with a plan I can handle it.  I  hope everyone else makes good choices this weekend.

I am so excited I had donuts at work yesterday, but I made it through today, and I barely had any temptation. I really love that things are getting easier.  It’s all about your frame of mind.    I was not in a good place yesterday, and that’s what they problem was.  I am strong now.  I have food ready and planned out and I am ready to have an amazing week.

During the weekends I work at a donut shop, and while we work we are allowed to eat a drink things for free while we work.  Working while there are that many good things that I can eat is very difficult especially since I get hungry because of the hours that I work.  Well, this is where the success comes in.  I made it through the entire weekend without eating a single donut.  I know that I am not out of the woods.  I have to take it one weekend at a time, but it was easier today than yesterday.  I hope I can keep this up.

I stopped drinking soda for five days, drank soda for three days, and now I have been off soda again for four days again.  Since I quit drinking soda I have been having some serious cravings for things with sugar in them such as desserts and that’s not like me.  I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this or has any suggestions about them.
