Time and Time Again
Weight: 179 lbs.
Here I go again on my on! Been here several times since January and I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. What is it going to take? Yesterday, I thought about fasting. Maybe it was only a thought.
Food Yesterday
2 small cans of v8
Progresso chicken noodle soup
pieces of turkey (small)
brownie
2 slices of pepperoni pizza
If this would be considered a fast, so be it. Excitement should be one of my feelings, but I don't know if it is. Yes, I am down 2 lbs. Honestly, I was trying to go for 3, but that didn't work. Exercise is something that I haven't been doing. Time changes things. At the beginning of April I was sick and still coughing up stuff, so that is mainly why I haven't been exercising. Truthfully, I just haven't felt like it. Weight can be lost if I eat less calories. That is my plan. This morning I did 10 squats. What the afternoon has to offer as for exercise the day will have to bring tell.
I am tired and need a break. Spending time doing something physical is always a benefit. Sunday we went walking at the River Walk. That was relaxing and allowed me to get some type of exercise in.
Today is another day and I am not going to eat that much. There is an event that I must attend Thursday after next. I have a gown to wear, but if I can't fit it I will have to purchase another one. That is not in the budget. Trying hard to achieve this weight loss goal. It can be done, but I don't want to go to the extremes. I think I may be there already.

Down with Fat and Up with Hope
Weight: 181 lbs.
Blogs Purpose
This blog is supposed to be helping me, but I am not helping myself. Down with fat and up with hope is going to be my new phrase. There has to be some type of intervention. I am serious! What is it going to take for me to get this together. The answer is stay focused and don't lose sight of what I am really trying to do. This seems to be a repetitive thing for me. Will I ever get tired of losing (in this case gaining)?
Accountability
In my life, there has to be something that makes me be more accountable for my actions. I have said it before and I will say it again, it is so easy to let me down. Why is that so? I should be up on a pedestal looking high above and know that I can do anything that I put my mind too. It is not that easy. Today should be the day that I never look back. Get every aspect of my life in order and lose the weight. Ok, really trying to make those small steps. Purchased some V8. The small cans. This will be my breakfast.
It would be wrong for me to say that I am losing in every aspect of my life, but I am not. All other things look good. Also, the bad habits has me in a world of hurt. Not really that, but it sometimes gets out of control. Getting that together is another thing.
Weight loss for Me
Weight loss for me is something that I know I can do, it is just a matter of doing the right thing. Eating is a past time that I truly enjoy, but it has to be healthy eating. I am tall, but I don't have to be overweight. That is where I am today. Getting below 190 was a big deal for me. I got below 180, but it tends to go up and down. That seriously needs to stop! Again, I need to lose 16 lbs.
Fasting
This is drastic, but it has crossed my mind. Just going on a fast or something of those sorts. I need to do that for myself to cleanse my body of all of the impurities. It will also help me realize that food is something we need to sustain life, not for enjoyment purposes. If I do decide to fast, it will take much dedication. The fast will also clear my mind of all of the crap that is clogging up my thoughts. Clarity is needed! Fasting will not be easy, but the negative things will leave and open up a place of focus.
Success will that ever Be?
I get tired of not succeeding! Losing is such a hard thing to do, I can do it, but when will I get tired of going up and down. I get close, but never reach my goal weight! All I can do is shack my head. I will let you know what I decide to do as for the fast. It may not be a full fast, but something that will allow me to drink more and eat less.

What is it Going to Take
Weight: 177 lbs.
Proud, but What is it Going to Take?
Again, I have been here time and time again. I am tired of this. This being the ups and downs in the weightloss game. I am the key element in this endeavor. Food is a weakness for me, but sometimes it is worse then others. Honestly, I just want to get to my goal and get it over with. I feel like John at John is Fit when he wrote about being the Worst Weightloss Blogger. I started this because I thought it would help me in losing weight, but I have been up and down like a see saw and it is getting old. The temptation has to come to an end.
Every morning when I get up, I dreaded getting on the scale. It is a burden and sometimes a release. It makes me feel great when I have actually lost 1-2 lbs. On the other hand when I have gone up it is major disappointment. I rejoice in the loss and get emotional with the gain. I really don't know why because I truly can tell when I will gain or loss. It depends on what I have eaten and how much. It doesn't even take exercise for you to lose. I don't want this blog to be only about my low points because they aren't low all the time. It just saddens me when I have been here several times. I have to make a change, it is getting old and I am so far behind my goal date of March 31, what it is going on another month. What am I going to do?
Food
sausage and bacon
baked pork chop, broccoli with cheese, and baked potatoe
a little chicken and rice
Zaxby's grilled chicken salad with french dressing
Exercise
None
Learning from other Bloggers
I found John Is Fit and it has helped me realize that I am not alone. He lists many strategies in losing and gaining the weight, but overall he is very motivating. He has a list of other weightloss bloggers. I haven't gone to all of their sites, but I have checked out Down with Fat. This blog is about a man and women and what they go through to lose weight. I really like some of their ideas. One thing I am going to adopt is they have a break down of their rewards when they get to a certain weight. I think that is a good idea.
Always know you are not alone. You can do it. I am not going to say it will be easy because it won't. Free will is a main factor, but as long as you put your all into it, you will reap positive rewards. Even though I haven't gotten to my 165 lbs. I am no longer 190, that is success within itself. Be thankful for the little things, they lead to big ones.

Here I Go Again
Weight: 178 lbs.
As the Days Go By
As the days go by, there are moments where my appetite is greater than others. I know what to contribute it too, but it is just a way of life. The weekends tend to be a breaker for me. I do well Monday-Thursday, but Friday-Sunday is always a downward slide. There are strategies that I can adopt to help me be successful, but as always I don't know where to begin. I'll say I can do it, but that word sabatoge does often appear.
Weigh Less
Honestly, I thought that I would have weighed more, but I don't. Let's see, keeping things in the manner that they are 13 lbs. to go. It seems so simple, but yet so hard.
Exercise What is That?
I haven't been exercising haven't felt like it. My clothes are fitting a little different. The jeans that I bought weekend before last aren't as tight as they were when I bought them. Any progress is better then none.
Stay Focused
All I have to do is keep the main thing the main thing. I am tired of being at this point, I want there to be less of me. I am proud of what I have accomplished, but it seems like a never ending battle. Somewhat of an obsession. One thing I can say is that looking at other weightloss blogs, this is something that goes on. Easy to put it on, but hard to take it off. I will continue to read what others have to say and know that I am not alone. The sad thing about it is that I really don't have that much weight to lose, but again it is so hard.
Food
1 sausage link
sausage ziti
1 1/2 baked porkchop with bread crumbs, broccoli and cheese, red baked potatoe
Exercise
None
Things are What you Make Them
Things are what you make them. I always say that, but I need to do more then say it I need to start living it. This weightloss thing can drive anyone crazy, but a good thing is that there are people that are doing and going through the same things. I am not alone. You are not either. Take one day at a time and know you will weigh less. Start with baby steps. Once a day eat a salad for lunch (substitute). Park farther away at the grocery store. Instead of putting mayonnaise on your sandwhich just use mustard. These are small steps that will work. It is up to you to make a change. Do that starting today!

I've Been Here Before
Weight: 175.8 lb.
Proud, but doesn't Seem That Way
Not exactly at this weight, but lower than before. I am proud of my accomplishments. I am overjoyed with excitement, but my behavior doesn't show it. My mood does not seem as if I have lost anything. To be honest, I really don't know what the problem is. I think I may just be tired. Tired mentally and physically, but more so mentally.
Current Meal Plan
My food intake for the day was alright, not as good as it could be. I did an analysis of what is going on. Remember, I spoke of sabatoge a few blogs ago. It has reared its ugly head. My goal is so close, but o so far away. I will list what I ate and you will see what I am speaking of.
Food
2 slices of bacon
chili dog
2 Church's thighs
baked boneless chicken breast with bread crumbs
asparagus
sweet potatoes
crescent rolls
As I type, I am cooking dinner.
baked boneless chicken breast with bread crumbs

Question
Now the question of the day is do I eat what I have cooked or do I save it for tomorrow? Yes, I did eat and it was good. I ate the entire breast, some asparagus, and 1/3 of the sweet potatoe. On top of all that I don't feel good. I will not talk about that, but it is the truth.
Looking at my meal plan for the last week, I have been eating a lot of rice that has to change. More vegetables to my plan.
Weighing myself tomorrow may not happen. I don't need to be disappointed. I did it to myself I know, but still. It seems the weekend is always my downfall. Let the sabotage go!

Losing is Half the Battle
Weight: 177 lbs.
I came down due to following my guidelines yesterday. I am proud. I know that you are supposed to eat, but when you are full from a previous meal what to do? I didn't eat dinner yesterday due to all of what I ate for lunch. I stopped and bought some chicken broth to drink, but I didn't need it because I was still full. I am proud of that. I have been here several times and I sabatoge myself often. This is what I am striving to not do this time. This time will be different I promise to myself. You know it is so easy to let yourself down. I wonder why that is so. Disappointment should not be my friend, but I know it very well. I think we need to discontinue our relationship. It only leads to heartache and pain. I don't need that at this point in my life. Moving forward is my biggest concern. Happiness will be my new friend.
Food
1 boiled egg and 1 slice of bacon
chili over rice and mixed vegetables
rice mixed vegetables with shrimp
thin slice of chocolate cake
Exercises
70 scissors
10 lunges with 10 lb. weights
various arm exercises
30 leg lifts with pilates ball
push ups on pilates ball
stretches
30 butt lifts
As always, as the day continue I will post more. Have a wonderful day! Day what you can with what you have. Be positive and positivity will follow. You deserve to be the best you possible. Don't hold on, let it go, it will be alright.
Celebrations
eyebrows waxed
10 minute massage in mall
How I Really Feel
I feel wonderful. I know I can be successful, it is just a matter of doing what is best for my overall health. As always, I don't know what tomorrow will bring. I feel that I need to do more, but there is no but it is a matter of staying focused and doing what is right. Tomorrow is another day and regardless of what it may bring I know that I can achieve my goals. If I don't lose, I will be disappointed but it is not the end of the world.

Coming Down, but will It Continue?
Weight: 179 lbs.
Yesterday
Yesterday was a decent day, like I stated, I did eat too many chili dogs, but I am ok with that. The exercise that I did was well deserved and I am glad that I did it. I guess I could have rode my bike trainer longer, but at least I rode it, right?
Today
Today, I don't know what I will eat, but I think I have it under control. There are some chili dogs left. That is what I will eat for lunch, but I have brought rice and mixed vegetables too. That should work out.
When I get home. Bike trainer and more exercises. I may do a video it just depends on how I feel.
Food
1 boiled egg and slice of bacon
mixed vegetables with rice, 2 hot dogs with chili (no buns), fries, 3 slices of boston butt (small)
This was too much for lunch! I can see that! I don't know what or if I will eat dinner. If I do eat, it may just be broth or something light. I will have to see. Ok, I will not eat anything for dinner. Chicken or vegetable broth will be the food for the evening. I can do this.
I did what I said I was going to do. I didn't eat when I got home. Stopped by the store and bought the chicken broth, but I didn't drink it. See I can do good.
Exercises
35 scissors
20 lunges with 10 lb. weights
arm exercises (I will specify later)
30 squats
10 minutes bike trainer
15 leg raises
Challenges
The challenge of the day is doing what is best for my body. Things happen, but having a healthy lifestyle can prevent some of the illnesses that may occur.
As the day progresses like yesterday I will make adjustments to this post.
Overall, I know that what I eat today was not as healthy as it could have been. Temptation leads to weakness and indulgence.
Celebrations
I didn't eat when I got home. I know you need to eat, but I was full from what I ate for lunch. Regardless of the morning weight, I am going to get my eyebrows waxed when I get off. That will be a good treat, I may get accupuncture too. Will just have to see what the day brings.

When I got up this morning of course you know I didn't want too. I started cooking breakfast. I have a very busy day so I went ahead and cooked dinner too. Shrimp, rice, and mixed vegetables something light.

New Week
This is the start of a new week, a new me, and a new look on life. I know that it is what you make it, but it is so hard. I am just saying. Doing what is right is the biggest issue. Working out this morning I could have, but I didn't. When I finally get home, I am going to ride my bike and do leg lifts and scissors. That is the least I can do for having an active day.
When I get off from work, I have to tutor for an hour. After that I am going to the college to use the library to write this paper. I must get this done. Time is moving so fast. Only a month until school gets out. So ready for that.

When I get off from work, I have to tutor for an hour. After that I am going to the college to use the library to write this paper. I must get this done. Time is moving so fast. Only a month until school gets out. So ready for that.
Maintaining
I must maintain this weight thing. Stay below 175 is my goal. I would love to be able to get into a size 10 jeans. Long time coming.
After I finish all of my days work I will be back to talk about how my day actually went. I will also add to my food intake as the day progresses. Enjoy your life, you only have one.

My Day Overall
The day was slow, but I did get much done. I accomplished my exercise goals (I could have rode my bike longer). The only issue I would say is the two chili dogs, but adding exercise will benefit. I was supposed to drink the V8, but I didn't have a taste for that.
As always tomorrow is a new day and I will make the most of it. Make a change, that is what I plan to do.

Spring Break is Over
I was sick for the beginning of Spring Break (Saturday-Thursday). I am not at 100%, but I am much better. We went to Atlanta for the weekend. That was fun, but during my illness I ate like I wasn't sick. That is ashamed, I know. On top of that I watched on the History Channel, The Seven Deadly. Gluttony was one of the ones I caught. It really made sense to me. Over eating is not healthy and can cause several issues. I don't want to get caught up in that. I know that we are all closer to dying, but it doesn't have to be food related.
During my sickness of course I didn't do any exercising. I weighed myself the other day and I was 177 lbs. That's not that bad.
Celebrations
bought a pair of Old Navy jeans size 14 long
bought a green tube dress
bought a rain coat
Food
bacon eggs and grits
lasagna
Wendy's chicken nuggets, small fries, bacon cheese burger, and chocolate frosty
noodles with 2 hot dogs
I will not talk about what I ate over the weekend.
Weight
182.4 lbs
Tomorrow starts another day that I will be successful. There are many things that I have to get done tomorrow. Organize in my mind what is important, discipline myself, and get things done. I am my worst enemy and I will work on solving that issue. I have lost weight now it is up to me to continue to do what is best for my body.
Tomorrow's Menu
boiled egg 2 pieces of bacon and a V8
100 calorie Progresso Chicken Noodle Soup
Shrimp, vegetables, and rice
Tomorrow's Exercises
10 lb. weights arms
bike trainer
stretch
50 squats
50 leg raises
I know when I look at myself I should be proud of what and who I am, but I am not. I know I could do so much better, but the problem lies with me. Self worth is what I need to focus on. I have so many positive things going on in my world. Why can't I be accepting of them and be satisfied with my outer appearance? I guess I hold myselft up in high esteem. My body has gone through changes, but it is easy to give up that is being slothful. I will get it together. Body image is something that concerns me seriously. I will take myself seriously and do what I can with what I have.
I feel like I go up and down like a roller coaster. At what point does it stop? I guess only I can answer that question.

Weight loss What Does it Really Mine
Weight loss to me is a serious issue. No matter whether you are big or small, weight loss can affect you. In my eyes, weight loss can be a positive or negative. It is a something that shouldn't be taken lightly. Do what you can with what you have. The little things count.
Weight: 178 lbs.
Food
v8
2 turkey burgers with cheese 1 with mustard the other mustard and salsa
5 barbeque chips
5 fried wingettes and fries
coffee
Exercise
30 lunges
40 squats with 10 lb. weights
stretches
10 minutes bike trainer
20 leg raises
arm exercises with 10 lb. weights
Motivation, Do I have it?
I need to ride my bike, but I don't feel like it. What I will do is stretch. What will the morning bring? As always, I will have to see.
Celebrations
Got my eyebrows waxed. That was something that I deserved.
Riding my bike is a celebration too. Thank you that I can do that. This is something I tell myself so I can do just that. Will let you know if I rode my bike or not.
