I will turn 39 in 28 days. I am a freak about my scale. I always like to use my birthday as a motivator to have my scale just where I want it.......
last year it was close.....but really it has been the last year and a half that I have struggled to maintain my "trim" weight. Before that I had maintained for about 3 years what I like to call my "skinny" weight.
You see there is my "trim" weight which everything fits and I feel good, but there is the "skinny" weight where my clothes are a bit loose and I feel very frisky and confident!! But there is the "oh dear" weight, which is actually not what I really say, it's more like....oh sh--!!! That's when my clothes do not fit and my stomach is what I call.....tub a licious!!! yuck!!!
O.K.....so now what to do about all of this madness!!! I'm going to blog to help keep me accountable. Maybe if anyone reads this, they may (or for sure) think I'm a weird-o, or maybe they may relate, or maybe they might be glad they don't have many of the issues that I struggle with......
Over the next 28 days, I hope to explore how the following things contribute to busy-ness, crazy-ness, gaining weight, not exercising enough, and much, much emotional eating:
- being a busy mom
- trying to keep up a strong marraige
- trying to keep spiritually sound
- trying to keep a tidy and organized home
- trying to work exercise into my life (in the mornings I am too tired and in the evenings I want to get comfy and sip wine!! )
To close: the plan for today is to keep my food within my points range [I'm a lifetime WW member: {daily points20 + (bonus points/7days)5 = 25}]; drink 6 cups of water; and run, I mean jog, I mean lightly jog, I mean lightly jog and maybe walk 5 miles!! I KNOW I can do this......it means no wine and no midnight chips and salsa or chalupas.....told you I'm a weird-o!!! :-)
Tomorrow am starts with a bathroom scale check and measurements.....ugh!!!
I'm right there with you!! I will keep you company in this adventure! I will start doing weight watchers tomorrow too! ( I have it on my IPhone) so let's do it girl!
ReplyDeleteYou forgot to mention you are a working mom- you work at a full time job besides all the other things you have to keep up with- it's hard enough just being a mom and keeping up but having a job too is so much more challenging! I'm always way too tired at the end of the day to exercise but I've found that if I do something when I first get out of bed it helps me feel better. You'll do great!
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm losin' it too - in more ways than one.
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you, Girl. I'm also right down the street and need an exercise buddy. Let me know if you'd like to lightly jog with me in the evenings. :-) I'm very serious - as my pants are folding over as we speak.
