It's been a really long time since I posted here. I have many blogs and don't use them at all. They should be used to my advantage, but life happens as other things. The problem that I'm having is: I am 5 months postpartum and I can't seem to lose this weight. Yes, I just had a baby, but I don't want it to go to far. I understand that it took several months to put on the weight and it's going to take several to lose it. There has got to be a better way. Along with this, I am breastfeeding and it seems my appetite will not stop. Forever hungry.
There are several solutions: Exercise, which I haven't done in almost a year. Change my eating habits to vegetables and fruits, not over eating. Pace myself and take this serious, because this is a serious thing. I know that I am over 200 lbs. and that is not cute, by a long shot.
In order to get my life, weight, and health under control there has to be some drastic changes. First, take one day at a time. Do what I can. Follow the above guide lines and focus on what's important. My body.
I can do this. At first, I was bothered because I lost the weight and picked it back up. Now, it's an uphill battle that I'm losing. I can do this, yes, I can. No feeling sorry for myself. Also, getting adjusted to my new life is part of the problem too. It's alright, I give myself until his birthday to be back to normal.
Another thing, accountability is my issue. I've been eating and eating and it just doesn't stop. Yesterday, I had not one, but 2 McGriddles for breakfast. So, eating habits must change. Add a little exercise in there to. My flexibility has gone to the wolves. Sad, very!
I've started to do some exercise with the baby and he loves it. Now, it needs to become a habit, part of my life. I can do this, I keep telling myself, but it's easier to just do nothing.
Breakfast
grits and 2 sausages
Lunch
salad with french dressing, mandarin oranges, fries
Let's see what dinner brings. I didn't post my weight because I don't know it, but I do know it's over 200 lbs. Ssshhh, don't tell nobody!

Exercising For a Lifetime
I started exercising about a month ago and now it is something that I look forward to doing. Volleyball season has started and I am the assistant coach. I jog five laps before practice when I am there. Exercising is something that I do and I really enjoy it. To be honest, I think I have been doing this consistently since the middle of September. There is a big difference in the way my clothes are fitting me. The jeans and pants aren't so tight and there is more room in the waist area. My face has even slimmed down. My goal is to be able to fit into a true 10, I think that would be 165 lbs. for me. Haven't been there in a long time. 10 years ago I was 24 years old, here I am 34, where did time go? What did I do with it? I don't want another 10 to go by and I am here where I am right now. Wow and I don't even say that word. My, my, my!
As for this exercise thing, I started by riding my bike trainer 5 minutes a day. Next, I moved up to 10 and 15 and so forth. I use my 10 lb. dumb bells to do some arm exercises. Leg lefts with the ball and squats with the weight or ball, it depends. I also started going to acupuncture and yoga once a week. That was very good for my overall body. Since volleyball doesn't end until December I can't do them anymore. I also sometimes do the stairs at the park. While in Atlanta at a conference, I used the stair stepper, elliptical, treadmill, and bike. It made me want my own personal gym.
I look forward to doing something daily, I do take a break every three days depending on how my mind or body feel. So this is something new to me, I haven't been here in a long time and it feels good.

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.

Yesterday's weight: 177.4 lbs.
Yesterday's food:
house lomein
dried mango

Yesterday's Exercises:
bicep curls

Celebrations:

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!

Something to be Proud of
Weight: 179 lbs.
I see a big change in my body even when I overeat. For instance, my hour glass is coming back. I have less fat on my arms. My clothes are fitting my differently. When people see me they can tell that I have lost some weight. That is a sign of progress.
Food
V8
chicken, rice, and vegetable bake
2 slices of cake (sheet cake)
turkey burger with cheese and salsa
Exercise
40 squats some using 20 lbs.
10 lunges with 20 lbs.
30 leg raises with pilates ball
20 scissors
40 different arm exercises using 10 lb. weights.
Celebrations
I took pictures with my mother today! That felt good. We don't really do much together, but I am proud that I still have her around.
I got my hair done this weekend. That was truly needed and I deserved that treatment!
This is Harder Then it Looks
Eating right takes time and effort! It is so easy to put it on, but so hard to take it off. I want to thank the support that I have from everyone in my inner circle. I know that I can do it. It just takes mental stimulation and preparation. I should ride my trainer, but you know that I don't feel like it. I actually have a headache. That's alright. Healthy lifestyle is what I am seeking.

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.

There is Still Less of Me
The weight thing is really getting on my last nerves. Yesterday, I didn't overeat I know, but I gained the weight back. Thinking of what I did wrong, I really can't decide on where there was a problem. Was it the mashed potatoes, the black eyed peas. I really don't know, but this morning when I weighed myself I was 178 lb. What happened? This is strange. I haven't been exercising like I was supposed too, but I have been eating right.
Weight: 178 lbs.
Food
chicken & artichoke lean pocket
rice & mixed vegetables
2 chili dogs
Exercise
40 scissors
arm exercising using 10 lb. weights
25 leg lefts with Pilates ball
As always, will have to see what the morning brings. I wanted to get some Captain D's, but I didn't. Weakness is sometimes an issue. Must move on from that. Am I really working toward my goal of weight loss? Do I need to up my exercise? I think I do.
Up and downs are always my friend. The morning will be here soon! Move on and do what I can with what I have.

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.

I Really Don't Know
Good evening! The day started out wonderful. My weight this morning was 177.4 lbs. That is 1 lb. below where I was yesterday. Of course, the day went on and things occurred. I will have to see what the morning brings.
Today's Food
1 boiled egg 1 slice of bacon
Too Much Spaghetti
The two helpings of spaghetti was to much. Instead of two helpings of spaghetti, I should have had more green beans and a smaller portion of spaghetti. It's over with now, no need to worry about past decisions. My belly feels as if I may have over eaten. I am not too sure. When I got home I did a little workout. I may need to do some more, but I don't know right now.
Exercises
60 scissors
20 squats with 10 lb. weights
5 minutes bike trainer
10 back kicks with both legs
10 side leg lifts both legs
various arm exercises with 10 lb. weights
Sabotage is the Set Up
Sleepy is currently my friend. My mind is telling me that I need to do something else, like ride my bike or some sit ups or something, but I just don't feel like it. That is sad. Is this self sabotage? It may be, why am I afraid of success? Not only is this a weight thing, this also filters into other aspects of my life.
Last night I went to bed hungry, tonight I am going to bed full. Will there ever be a happy medium?
Tomorrow is another day. I have to get up on time. When the alarm goes off I have to get a move on it. I will start fixing breakfast as soon as I get up.
Tomorrow's Meals
I probably will have an egg and slice of bacon for lunch. If I get up in time I may cook a chicken breast and cut up some lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers for a chicken salad (that's light). Dinner may consist of tilapia, mixed vegetables, and potatoes. It just depends on what the day brings.
Motivation Do I have that?
Motivation is one of my key problems. This gives me a venue to talk about my personal concerns, let downs, triumphs, exercises, food menus, and other things dealing with my health and weight. I am just thankful to have this outlet. As I stated before, tomorrow is a new day and I am willing to make it work.

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.
