Feeling Frustrated Today!

This has been a rough weekend. I feel like I'm PMSing (but I'm not!) and no matter what I eat, I cannot seem to feel full or satisfied. I want junk food and I want it now! I'm burning through my WW points and my extra points and I'm going to be out of luck for the rest of the week. What is my problem?! I'm stressing out and this isn't helping!!! UGH!! I messaged a gal via Facebook {see her blog here: The Daily Mel} who I follow and adore, and her advice to me was to write a list of what will happen if I give up and stop trying. She is right! So here that list goes:

  1. I will gain back the 15 lbs. I have already lost 
  2. I will not get into that size 6 bathing suit I want to wear to Vegas this summer
  3. I will continue to look at the scale as the enemy
  4. I will not smile at myself in the mirror because I will know that I gave up
  5. I will not see a better cholesterol level this summer (this should really be #1)
Those are my top 5 things that will happen if I give up and stop trying. Now, some reminders as to why I'm doing this to begin with (a couple of these will be similar to those above!):
  1. I want to lower my cholesterol level by my HRA this summer
  2. I want to wear a size 6 bathing suit in Vegas this summer (and shorts, and pants, and a dress!)
  3. I want to feel better about myself and be able to smile at me in the mirror
  4. I want my daughters to grow up knowing how to eat healthy and make good choices
  5. I want to see my daughters grow up.
So there, that should help make me feel better. I want this. I need this. I can do this.

Dusting this thing off and trying again!

I’m honestly not sure what the draw is to blogging for me. It definitely isn’t the “money” as I pretty much don’t have any followers (and if I do, I thank you!) and literally have ZERO sponsors but I think for me it is a form of journaling and that may be the draw. Last night as I was winding down from the day, I decided to give WW another try. I’d been paying for their services for awhile and when I “work the program” I have a lot of success. However, I’ve been avoiding the program for about an month and have had no success...go figure. My goal is to give WW one more month, follow it as best as I can, and reevaluate my situation then. I’m choosing to do the Purple Plan because I feel like that is the best one for me, at the moment. Right now I need more zero point options and this plan has the most. I preplanned breakfast and lunch, both zero points, which leaves me with 16 points for dinner. My goal is to only use 12 so that 4 will carry over giving me a little bumper for my upcoming

Day 1 is Done!

Yesterday was another "day one" and in the past I may have patted myself on the back (or not) and moved on. Today I am going to evaluate how I did yesterday, here we go! I did not have my FitBit charged in advance so I lost about a 1/2 day of steps and ended my day with only 3,721 steps. I guess it is better than zero. I stuck to my meal plan! Woohoo!! Here is what I ate: Breakfast: Oatmeal w/1 tsp of turbinado sugar (0 PPV) Lunch: Whole Wheat flatbread pizza with FF shredded cheese (w/1 tsp EVOO), and no salt tomato sauce (w/1 tsp Italian seasoning). (0 PPV) Afternoon Snack: Starbucks Venti Iced Skinny Vanilla Latte (0 PPV - I LOVE Simply Filling!) Dinner: 93% Lean Ground Beef Burger on a Whole Wheat sandwich thin, FF sharp cheddar slice, homemade sweet potato fries (w/1 tsp EVOO). (0 PPV) Evening Snack: Flatout Fold It, FF ricotta cheese, frozen blueberries, 1 tsp turbinado sugar, sprinkle of cinnamon (0 PPV) I drank 75 oz. of water! Yay me! I did not earn my 2

Starting Over - Again.

I have been on a roller coaster this past school year and I cannot get my act together. My motivation is null. I know that in order to truly get my life in order, it has to come from within. Unfortunately I cannot seem to find that internal motivation. It is so frustrating. I've missed my last two WW meetings due to other commitments and I know that is half my battle. The other have is definitely my lack of motivation. I need to change that. Where do I begin? Here. WHY do I want to lose weight? GOOD HEALTH: My cholesterol keeps creeping up on me. My latest overall score? 234. That is the highest it has been and I know that with diet and exercise I can drop that number WAY down. MY DAUGHTERS: My husband and I are both overweight. We were not always this way but after we graduated from high school and started making bad choices, the weight crept on and hasn't left. I don't want my daughters to follow in our footsteps. I want them to learn good eating and exercise habi
