week 5 weigh in
ok, the whole down but up thing i was doing with my weigh ins is starting to lose me. it's my system and I am getting confused. i am just going to use last years beginning weight and go from there..
so my weigh in is -6
if the goal is to lose 60lb starting with last years beginning weight, 60/12=5. this means each month i need to lose 5 pounds. this doesn't sound like much, but i mean for this to become permanent, which means making changes that i can live with. also my thyroid issues make it hard to lose weight and ridiculously easy to gain.
this means i am on track, but need to step it up to lose 5lb by the end of february.
goals for weeks 5, 6, 7, & 8
number 1: tracking calories, etc.
number 2: min. 2 glasses water
number 3: one mug of green tea a day
number 4: exersize three times a week

i am fighting "special lady time".. i am tracking but my husband took my computer with my target numbers, websites, and my tracking spreadsheets. so i have spent some time this morning putting some numbers together and i can hopefully fill it in. i will just add them to this post. also, i did some more digging on protein and radically adjusted my target number, which makes sense.. it really shouldn't be THAT hard. hopefully Monday will show some good results, and i will have some monthly goals. have a great weekend :)

alright.. i am up a couple of pounds but gauging by the zits on my face, and my totally CRANKINESS in addition to my wicked mood swings, i am either in imminent danger of getting my "special lady time" or turning into a homicidal maniac... lol
i didn't do too awful this weekend, but back on track again this morning.. i need to set monthly goals i think.. if i have a series of smaller goals it might be easier to keep on track.
february will see me with a new list of steps and a weight goal..

week 3 - wednesday - body image
i am pretty sure i posted about this last year, probably about this time.
Everytime i start to lose weight, i feel fatter. isn't that wierd? my clothes feel tighter, my stomach bigger, my body bothers me more.
is this because when i am not being careful, watching, and trying to exersize that i have blinders on? my bathroom has a MONSTROUS mirror in it, you HAVE to see yourself naked coming out of the shower. it isn't a shock.
why am i bothered more when i am losing weight, than when i am gaining?
i am sticking with it because of how pointless it all feels, i am using that anger and frustration to keep me going.

week three - monday
weight - +2, which is great because it means i am down 4 pounds from last week but still 2 pounds up from the 10 i kept off for most of last year.
i did really good last week, and i tracked most days, but didn't post my numbers because everday i managed to hit a hic-up that couldn't be tracked (like spaghetti sauce that my friend made and gave to me last year, frozen).
my water is better, but there is still the odd day when i have next to nothing and i am still working on it.
exercise sucked for the entire week. quite a bit of incidental excersize like cleaning, shopping, walking my daughter to the bus but nothing substantial. this week's goal is to do better in that department.
i think i lost the 4 pounds just because of the lack of chocolate and crap in the house and me making a concerted effort with my eating.

year two
so, here i am... 4 pounds down from this time last year. at this rate it will take me around 12 years to lose my 60lb.. distressing..
in my defense, until christmas i managed to keep off a consistent 10 pounds and didn't ever go above where i was at new years last year. even at christmas i stayed under where i was last year.
i consider that a victory. a small one, but a victory none the less.
i never gave up entirely, i watched the scale, was aware. and then not only was there the influx of christmas chocolate which is still lingering in pieces around my house (and don't mean just my hips) but i make fudge. i make REALLY good fudge, and there is a manatory amount of spatula licking, beater eating, unevenly cut piece consumage.
these badly damaged my 10 pound window.
so here i am, ready to go again but with a new tactic.
number one: i have to watch what i eat, i can't eat whatever i want
number two: exersize, there has to be some (thankfully dear daughter got just dance 2 for the wii, it is exhausting!!!)
number three: water. my water consumption SUCKS. i need to work on that.
number four: goals, again realistic and same as last year, 60lb by the end of the year
dear husband put the treadmill in a place that is not user friendly, on the up side i now have a room to sew in, on the downside that is a sitting task and i need off my ass, not more excuses to stay on it LOL.. he says i can walk on it but not run. ok. between that and daily bouts of just dance 2 with the sweat meter and watching what i eat, i still think i can do this.
