View CELAWLOR's food & exercise for this day
Well, another Monday. I have been capitvated by the scales at the gym. I think this could easily turn into an unhealthy behavior, so I am going to watch myself. Wanna know? Okay. I go weigh myself in the gym before my workout. Then, I workout like a crazy person, drinking water and everything, then I weigh myself after my workout. Guess what? 1/2 to 3/4 lb weight loss. Do the same thing the next time. Weight even lower the next time before workout, then 1/2 to 3/4 lighter afterwards. I can actually see the results of my workout. Neat-O.
I know how my brain works, so I really should not do this. I just found it completely fascinating. I am going to try to stop tomorrow. Have no idea what on earth made me do this, anyway. I really wan't expecting to see any difference!
Today I am celebrating 10 days of not over-eating and, coincidentally, 10 lbs of weight loss. And I am so much better off for it. Yay!
Hubby finally made the first contribution to our new "fat clothes" pile this morning. He had a pair of 38 slacks that had been big on him a while now, but they wouldn't even stay up over his hips today. We had a good laugh about it and he was talking about buying new clothes. LOL. He will probably be about a 32 when his little tummy goes away. He's comfortably in a 34 right now. I'm gonna make the next contribution! Although, sadly, I feel it is going to be a bra.
Okay, so my CK University lesson for today wants me to answer questions in my blog. What a splendid idea. So here goes.
Q: What does losing weight mean to me?
A: It means eating properly, excercising, getting over my psychological "default value" of having to eat everything on my plate, and to learn to listen to my internal clues that I am not hungry anymore and NEED TO QUIT EATING.
Q: What are the rewards?
A: Better health, a longer life, energy to keep up with life and my family, non fat-girl clothes, and to be able to wear my hair long and look GOOD in it!
Q: What will gaining or not losing weight mean to me?
A: That i have no control over my life, that I am a failure, that I don't care enough about myself, or my family, to be at a healthy weight.
Q: What are the consequences if I dont lose weight?
A: Most likely high blood pressure, diabetes, heart problems, aches and pain, not being able to keep up with my family and life.
Q: Do you have an idea of a specific goal weight? If yes, what is it?
A: Yes. Despite what all the "charts" show my ideal weight to be, I believe my goal weight is 175 - 165 lbs.
Update: Boy do I have a case of the hungries tonight. It is 9pm and I want ice cream with chocolate syrup with whipped cream. My son has this thing for the Food Network and he likes for us to cuddle with him while he watches it...he is a strange kid.
Anyway, they showed this commerical for a roast beef sandwich from Quiznos....Yummm...although I know it would make me sick....then the show tonight was talking about Hershey's syrup over ice cream...and some gormet peanut butter....and all this cheese...OMG! I think I better go brush my teeth and get in bed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
