MERCYME's CalorieKing Blog
Hi there...I'm 43 (not sure if I'm lovin' it), married to an wonderful man for 13 years and have 5 beautiful children. I've never really struggled with my weight in my youth. But, I noticed that after having these beautiful children, the weight sorta just crept up on me. I also quit smoking (June 11, 2007), and have decided that this is the year I get and stay healthy!! So here I am at CK....counting calories, losing inches and pounds and having some fun along the way. Join me in my journey!
Food Coma
Monday, September 24th 2007
Today is Monday....I'm feeling "icky": mentally and physically. My husband and I went out of town this weekend, and I ate like "crap" for two days. The past 6 weeks, I've been feeding my body "good" food and I think my body went into "shock" with the fried food, cheese, chocolate, etc. It's like that movie Super Size Me....when after the guy ate all of that McDonalds, he got depressed and lethargic. That's how I feel today. I'm back to my eating program to...AH HA!

Did you ever have one of those moments where you've heard a particular idea before, but it didn't sink in, until you've heard it for the 100th time? I have these moments allot, last night in particular.Last night I was talking with my husband, saying that I was going to be disappointed in today's weigh in. That I just KNEW I wasn't going to be down on the scale.
And what did my husband say? "Remember, how you're eating and exercising is lifelong....you're not on a diet to lose weigh...
Thursday....TGI (Almost) Friday
Thursday, September 20th 2007
It's Thursday evening, about 4:44 p.m. I'm getting hungry for my evening meal. I've been famished lately. I think it's psychological. Ever since I re-did my personal profile, it dropped my daily calorie intake to 1,200. So how does ANYBODY survive on 1,200 calories? I certainly can't. So, I'm making sure I get in a good work out every day, so I can net 1,200 calories comfortably. I'm hungry tho., so I need to make some more adjustments. I think some more fiber (fruits and veggy's) would be a goo...Moving Right Along...

Well, I made it to my first Intermediate Goal Weight (actually passed it by a pound). I'm so happy, I'm on my way to my next goal (just 9 lbs. away). I changed my personal profile, and OMG, they decreased my calories down to 1,200. That hardly seems like enough!! Well, truly, I'm usually under my calorie limit every day, so this shouldn't be a big deal....a psychological obstacle more than anything. We'll see how I do. I can always adjust it back up a bit, if I get too hungry.Okay, I'm 11 ...
9 LBS. DOWN
Saturday, September 8th 2007
I'm getting ready to celebrate my first 10 lbs. of weight-loss. I'm pretty excited about it. Although, I must admit, that those first 10 lbs. didn't seem to come off very easily. I had to work very hard for each and every pound! Sometimes I look at myself and can't believe that I really have 30 more pounds to lose. How on earth I'm going to lose 30 more pounds? I just need to take it day by day and pound by pound. Before I know it, it will be gone.I'm really enjoying how I'm feeling. I ha...
