Week 1

Well I’m back and I think things will be good. I’m back up a bit but I did slack for a really long time between work, student teaching, and graduating I lost track of everything.
But my boyfriend is going to start walking with me so that should be cool.

week 8

Well what can I say but I have been kind of bad the past week. I haven't really gone out and exercised at all. I still weigh 156 so I guess its good I haven't gained anything.
I'm shooting for 150 for Dragon Con but 145 would be amazing. I just have so much going on with school that I don't know if i will make it there. But I'm still going to try my best!

Week 7?

Yeah yeah yeah I know!
I missed last week but I have been keeping up with the hard part working out and eating better.
Last week and this week are about the same. however I forgot and weighed myself at my normal time today. I did so after I had been up and had breakfast and my mid morning snack and typically I weigh my self first thing. So it could be different and I will weight my self tomorrow just to see.
So all in all I'm around 156
Oh well here is to a good week!

Week 5

Well I missed posting last week I did weigh my self and everything I juts kept forgetting to get on here and post. I tried rollerblading last week for the first time in like 8 or 9 years and I did great on Tuesday I went out with my niece and nephew they where on there rip-sticks and we raced around I beat my nephew and everything.
Thursday everyone was gone and I thought I would go out around the neighborhood a bit again on my blades. I didn't get half way and I fell not too bad more of a sit down falls. But I though I should go back just to play safe being that I was all along with no one expecting me back home. So I went back to my house and decided to just take a few laps around my long driveway. I got once around my car and fell so hard right on my ass my head flew back in to the ground and my headband flew 4 feet behind me. It was bad and my ass still hurts like hell. So I didn't do much Friday or Saturday as far as working out because I really couldn't move at all.

So Sunday I went swimming after work and I’m still eating good. Today I was a little bad but I think I will be ok. I have lost weight so I’m happy about that. I’m over the 160 hump I was stuck at.

This is so true....

I found this and all i can say is how true.....
What gets your diet off track? There are numerous reasons why a person can never seem to lose weight and here are a few of the most common reasons why:

• You skip breakfast. Studies confirm people who eat breakfast lose and maintain their weight more than breakfast skippers.
• You go on starvation or fad diets which puts your metabolism in starvation physiology, shutting it down and making it even harder to lose weight. Or you may just feel deprived all the time which usually ends up working against you.
• You eat for emotional reasons. No diet in the world fixes emotional eating. Only by recognizing and acknowledging your feelings and the underlying needs will you conquer this form of over eating.
• You don’t plan ahead. "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." The healthy food items are not available and guess what choices you make?
• You don't keep healthy food in your immediate environment (including work and social situations). If your house has mostly junk foods around no one can resist tempting foods. If it’s there you will eat it. Even if you are buying these foods for your kids, do they really need these foods?
• You do not make your self a priority when it comes to getting healthy. The usual statement is you "don't have the time." You make the time for good health.
• And this is the hardest one to swallow. Are you simply just too lazy to do any of the work involved it takes to lose the weight?

In order to fix a problem you need to acknowledge it first.

Week 3

I weighed myself yesterday but forgot to post about it. I'm up to the same old back and forth between 163 and 160 but I hope this week I will be doing better.
I also found a cool web sight that helps out on knowing what nutrition food has.

week 2

Well here I am still the same. I have decided that I need to add other forms of exercise to my routine because I think I'm stuck at 162. I normally swim in 35-40 min sessions and I could increase them but I don't think I really want to do that so I am going to add a routine of aerobics in to my plan. So this week’s goal is 3 days of aerobics/ strength training and 3 days of swimming. Keeping everything in the 30min sessions for the week.

Height: 5’6”
Start weight: 175lbs
Current Weight: 162lbs.
Goal Weight: 150~145lbs.

Best of luck to everyone :-)
