Losing It

I have posted this question before, but after yesterday’s results, where to, I start.  I need to make some changes so that 9 months from now I am seeing a change - for the better.

Thinking back I have been eating at night, after the boys go to bed.  It is hard because I am hungry, or at least I have made it so I am so used to eating than that I am hungry.  I am going to concentrate on not eating after 7:00 p.m.

To help when I feel hungry I decided that I am going to start with drinking a glass of water.  My next step is to chew a piece of gum.

I really believe that these steps will make a difference.  I can do it.  I will make a difference.

I have been thinking that I need to set goals for the day.  So what is my outlook for today.  How can I achieve my goals.  Well I need to focus today.

I know that I can stay focus today, it is just going to take some time and some focus.  Today I feel that I need to focus.  I need to start with recording my calories today.  I know that I can do it!

Stay tuned to see how it is going.  I am excited to see if I can stay in my calorie goals.  I know that I can.

Today I knew early that I was not going to go to Curves.  I just wanted a break.  I will go tomorrow.

My sister called and said that she wanted to go for a walk, so after dinner we went for a mile walk to my parents house.

I feel great after taking this walk.  I have been doing well for the most part today.  So here is my daily review…

1. Drink my water    I drank 8 glasses but I know that I can do better than that
2. Do some exercise with the boys and dog every day this week    Mile walk with my sister carrying a 23 lb kid on my back
3. Go to curves 4 days this week - not today but still have time to get in my 4 days
4. Stay away from sweets    Husband brought donuts this morning.  Should have stayed away
5. Find a better way to deal with stress    Better day over all, but I need more sleep

Overall I think that today went well.  I am on the right path and that is all that matters.

Looking at my busy day that I have today.  Busy days make it hard to keep to my weight loss goals.  I don’t eat well, and I don’t get in any exercise.    I have some simple goals that I want to stick to.  I find by writing down my goals I feel responsible for sticking to them.

1. Drink My Water!  Get at least 8 glasses of water in me today
2. Eat 1 fruit and 1 vegetable today
3. Limit my pop intake

I will get in some exercise today.  I have to clean today so that will allow me to have some exercise.  It is nice that I can burn calories and still do something that I need to do - clean.
