I am going to take one day at a time. This weight loss thing is a matter of cause and effect. I realize that and I know that I will be sucessful. Didn't meet my 165 by the end of March, that's alright. I have still lived to see another day. I have to be mindful of my decisions about food and not overeat.
Today is another day. Do what I will put be respectful of myself!

I did it to Myself
Weight: 181.2 lbs.
I admit, I did it to myself. There are some things not to be discussed and this is one of them, but I truly understand why I put on the 4 extra pounds and I didn't do anything more. Well, in respect of that I was overeating for the last couple of weeks. No exercising no nothing, just eating and sleeping. That is it! Has the determination left? I am to far in the game to actually do better. My mind set has been distorted? Really the problem lays in me. I am the only one that can fix this dilema.
Food
V8
0 point Progresso soup added vegetables and rice
2 fried drumsticks
1 turkey burger with cheese and salsa
Exercise
50 squats
10 minutes bike trainer
10 lunges
arm exercises with 10 lb weights
Laziness will not bring forth Results
Honestly, I don't feel like doing anything. Just putting that out there. There will not be any results without action. That I do understand.
Everyday, I say, I am going to do better, but there is something that I want. Break that bad habit. I have cooked for the next few days. There is always tomorrow. Here I go off to do my exercises, maybe I can burn off a chicken leg or the turkey burger something is always good.
I can see the extra 7 lbs. That is sad, but talking about it is not going to make it go away.

16 lbs. Lighter
There is less of me and I am so proud. The exercises and food changes have really made a difference. Yesterday, I did not eat much, but I was full.
Today
Weight: 174
For making it to this point, I get my nails done. A mini celebration!
Today was a good day.
Food
broccoli, cheese, & onion omelet
side salad and mashed potatoes
1/2 chicken breast, mixed vegetables, & black eyed peas
Exercise
arm curls 10 lbs.
Saturday, March 21
Weight: 177
Food
broccoli and cheese omelet
1 fried wing, rice with broccoli and cream of mushroom soup
KFC's fried spicy wings
Friday, March 20
Food
Campbell wild rice soup
Tilipia and mashed potatoes
plate of ribs
2 hot dogs
This was bad. I should have stopped on the plate of ribs. Even though the food choice was horrible, I didn't gain any weight.
Eating Right & Exercising
Eating right and exercising has really worked for me. I know how to stop eating when I am full. Taking my lunch to work and fixing breakfast saves money and allows me to eat the things I like.
Weight loss is hard, but putting my mind to it has made me realize I can do anything. Focusing on what is important and putting the nonsense behind helps to stay focused on what's important.
I don't know if I will have lost 25 lbs. by the end of the month. Even if I haven't I will continue to work toward my goal. Healthy living is what I am working toward. Getting into pants I haven't worn in 6 months that is what I am forward to.

Did I do the Right Thing Today?
Weight: 176 lbs.
Meals
0 point Progresso soup
1/2 piece tilapia & 2 servings of mashed potatoes
1/2 cheese burger f& fries
spaghetti
Exercises
40 scissors
30 leg raises
stretches
arm exercises with 10 lb. weights
Occurances
The day started out normal. Stopped at Piggly Wiggly and bought my breakfast, 0 point Progresso vegetable soup. There were donuts, did I get one, no I didn't. I was proud of that, but I had coffee instead. So which one was worse? Lunch was good. After school, I went to a track meet, that is where I had the fast food. I know. I wasn't hungry when I got home, but I had to eat the spaghetti.
My prediction, is I may go up some, but only the morning can tell. With the workout, I don't know if it will be enough to lose weight, but it will assist with toning. I should have done some squats, but I didn't feel up to it.
I was excited about what I accomplished and today I may have blown it. I am still in the running though. The morning will be here soon, that will be the determining factor.

How was my Day?
My day was decent. Weight this morning: 178.4
Breakfast: chicken and artichoke lean pocket
Lunch: steak, rice, and broccoli
Dinner: turkey salad, with tomatos, cucumbers, and shredded cheese
Exercise:
40 leg lifts with pilates ball
40 squats with pilates ball
15 minutes bike trainer
30 scissors (leg)
worked out arms with 10 lb. weights
I am hungry right now, but it will be alright! I figured I may get hungry later and I did, but I know what my ultimate goal is. Lose weight in a healthy manner. I don't have anything quick and light to eat in the kitchen. Instead, I will drink water. I didn't have that much at work today! This feeling of hunger will pass. It needs to now, but that is a part of losing weight. If I eat, I will over do it, that is something that I don't want to do.
The weekends tend to be a big part of my problem. All of the downing myself stops here. Ok, I may be hard on myself some more, but I don't mean any harm.
Celebrations:
Even though I have been overeating I don't go above 180. That is something to celebrate. If I do, it doesn't last long.
I got to 176 lbs. that didn't last too long, but I am over that.
I was able to wear a pair of pants comfortably that I haven't gotten into in about 6 months.
Overall, there are minor and major celebrations to this weight loss thing. It can be depressing, but one thing I have learned is if you fall off get back up again. If at first you don't succeed try try again.
I don't know if I will be 165 by the end of the month, but I am going to do my best to get there. This is a mental, physical, and emotional journey that I have undertaken and I will win.
Let's see what tomorrow will bring, I am just curious, due to the lack of food and the addition of exercise.

Times are Hard
There has been this thought of creating a blog for my weight loss. So today, I decided that it is really needed. I am the type of person that tends to sabotage my efforts. At the end of the December I weighed 190 lbs. I don't know what I weigh right now, but all together, I have lost 14 lbs. I was doing good until about 1 week ago. I really don't know what happened. Taking that back, I am what happened. My goal is to be 165 lbs. I know I can do it. It is a matter of being determined and eating right and exercising.
How Did I lose the 14 lbs?
I refused to pay someone to help me with my weight loss. So, I purchased a trainer for my bicycle (this is something I added to my bike to make it stationary). I started riding it daily, at first I could only ride for 5 minutes. Now, I can ride for 30 minutes straight. Squats and lunges in the morning with pilates ball and leg lifts with pilates ball. Stretching is always a friend.
My Daily Meal Plan
Breakfast: 2 turkey sausages
Lunch: vegetables, rice, and small portion of meat
Dinner: salad
It may be different, but this is what I try to eat daily. One thing I can say is that I got into a pair of pants I haven't been able to fit in about 6 months. That was a very rewarding goal. Now, it is a matter of doing what is right for me at this time in my life. Losing weight in a healthy manner.
What I ate Today
Breakfast: 2 turkey sausages and scrambled eggs
Lunch: shrimp and broccoli pinwheel pasta (several servings)
Dinner: chicken and artichoke lean pocket
I know that is awful, I want tell you what I ate yesterday. I can't hold on to yesterday, it is gone like dust in the wind. Today is gone too, tomorrow is coming and it all starts tomorrow.
My Weight Today
181.2 lbs.
Did I forget to mention that I want to be 165 by the end of the month? See, I told you I sabotage myself every time.
Tomorrow
Morning: 40 leg raises, 40 squats, 20 lunges
Evening: 30 minutes bike trainer, 40 leg raises, 40 squats, 20 lunges
Food
Breakfast: 2 boiled eggs
Lunch: shrimp broccoli pinwheel pasta
Dinner: steak, broccoli, and rice
This will help me stay accountable with my weightloss. I know I can do it and this will make me accountable to my eating and healthy habits.
