Feeling fat and bloated

2009-11-20T08:45:00Z

I am not feeling well today. Bloated and feeling fat. I hope I can get through this day. My husband just gave me some mint chocolate ice cream, no sugar added and low fat...not too bad for 1/2 cup. I hope I did not blow it.

Thanksgiving Plan

2009-11-20T07:39:00Z

Okay, maybe I'm a little neurotic, but I just logged in my food for Thanksgiving day. I went to the calendar, chose the 26th, and added my food, just so I will absolutely have a plan. I put in a glass of wine, too, already decided, so I won't be tempted to make loose decisions on the fly. Hope it works! I will let you know :)

Nighttime snacking

2009-11-20T07:26:00Z

The NS food keeps me full during the day, but I find myself wanting to continue my night time snacking. It is almost uncontrolable. Are there any suggestions?

So I helped haul and stack wood for 4 hours today. The GRAND TOTAL of calories burned was 1,417 calories.................I love this polar watch to track calories. Well, I am STARVING now...........off to eat my NS food.

So excited for the Holidays!

2009-11-20T06:20:00Z

I am just on a very thankful mode lately. Just in time for Thanksgiving. I am embarking on a road trip with the family to Vegas and Utah this Sunday. I am ecstatic to spend Thanksgiving with my sisters, brothers in law, nephew, nieces, aunt, uncle and dear friends. I have a ton of things to be Thankful for and this year I just added NS to that list. Last few years when I have gone to visit family and friends, I had packed with me a lot of shame and embarrasment.... for "letting myself go" as some people put it. When I moved out of Utah 6 years ago, I was in the best shape of my life, and every year that I have visited since,I have gotten heavier and heavier. This year I am leaving the shame behind and I am packing with me a little extra suitcase full of confidence and self esteem. I can't wait for my family and friends to see the fruits of my commitment to this life change. I am not even scare to fall off the wagon over the Holidays. I have a plan, a realistic one, and it requires discipline,sweat and even some rewards. If I eat a little more one day, I work out a little more the following. I will eat anything we cook, but I will cook better things for me and make sure that it will be portion control. I will eat wheat buns, not white, I wont skip the green salad this year...I will be addicted to water, I will measure my carbs. Sounds like a lot of work??? Maybe for some, but for me is the price to pay to feel this great... and it's worth every minute of it. Just little things here and there that all added up will make the differece. I just love being healthier and looking better than I have in years.... Stay strong all of you out there that worry about gaining too much wait during Thanksgiving weekend.... is the little choices that will make the big difference in the end. Besides, we all deserve to celebrate, we just need to know how to be smart about doing so. Have an amazing Thanksgiving week my beautiful NS family. I will be praying for all of your individual success.

Day 6 - Love the food and everything else

2009-11-20T06:02:00Z

I am so happy with how things are going. I know it's only day 6, but I honestly don't see myself not liking this anytime soon. As I told a friend the other day, even if I didn't need to loose any weight I would love the convenience, flavors and choices of food I have. I just had the chili beans which I can make a really good pot of. So flavorful. I always have my hot sauce and garlic powder ready to go when I cook something up, but so many things taste just great as is. I've been switching dinner with lunch. Since I've starting doing Wii Fitness every morning again, I need the higher calories, protein at lunch. That's working out well. I've lost 8 lbs in six days which I know isn't realistic but it's a nice boost/start. The website is great, the people are great. I plan to look into chat rooms and blogs more this weekend, I'd like to find some others that use their wii's to get excercise. :)

This is the Good Life!

Cannot say I've ever had pizza two nights in a row without remorse...until now. This, after the double chocolate muffin yesterday, the cinnamon roll this morning, fudge brownie, etc. It just doesn't seem right! Add to that the community and it is truly living well. Hope everyone has a happy weekend!

Hope I can stay on a roll during the holidays

2009-11-20T05:32:00Z

Today was weigh in day at work and I lost....get this.... 2.5 lbs and needless to say I didn't win the money but I am still on a roll. In the last 10 weeks I have lost 15 lbs which is very good for me. I was at an all day meeting today and went out to eat at a buffett and only had lettuce, green peppers, raw broccoli, a small cup of vegetable soup and a small piece of chicken breast. Everyone else went back 2 and 3 times and got plenty of the fatting stuff and they were impressed at what I didn't eat. After work I went to Curves and then to the store to get my veggies to last til at least Wednesday so I consider myself on a roll. The biggest test will come on Thursday when my family goes out for Thanksgiving dinner. We will see how that goes. Hope everyone has a great weekend and by the way my mom is doing great and thanks to everyone for their prayers and thoughts.

Was clearing out my scrapbook cabinet today and found pictures and yearbooks. Also found pictures of me from only six years ago when I was a size 10! So I have been that small, not so long ago, and as long as I stick to my meal and exercise plans every day I can be a size ten once again! I can already fit into a size 16, although it is very tight after I button and zip them up, but you have to start somewhere!
