Well, I got on the scale on Friday even though I am supposed to weight in on Monday. I was 6 lbs down from the weigh in for the fitness challenge 2 weeks ago. I feel pretty good about that. I have lost most of my holiday weight, just 2 lbs to go til I am back to my lowest in Nov. Wow, it is easy to see how those holidays can add up over the years. It is hard to get them off again, too. Ah well, I am feeling a little more hopeful about losing weight and can see myself being able to do this now. ...Friday, February 11th 2011
What a crazy week. Been pretty good with my meals until today . Trainer says I have too much fat and should only eat natural foods, no spreads, or processed cheeses. He says to be careful with the dairy. Geez, I thought I was doing good to use lo-fat cheeses and those laughing cow wedges! Everyone has to have some cheese. Life is a drag without cheese! Heehee. I saw him on Tuesday and he tired me out. I had a sore knee to start with from shoveling snow and then it was worse the next day. Not ...Oatmeal Pancakes

I promised myself to track my calories this weekend. Weekends are difficult for me, I lose my routine and totally let go of myself. Well, I did it. I tracked my weekend. Even though I was over, I feel good that I tried and good that I tracked.This week is going to be busy. My trainer wants me to do 5 days a week at the gym. I think he wants me to mostly do cardio. I don't really understand the whole thing, but I am going to try that. I am also trying to eat my carbs during the day rather t...

Started my "Get Fit" challenge at the gym this week. My eating hasn't been good, though. The calories don't count when you hide in the bathroom and eat, do they?Hmm.... I'm going to have to be real good because my trainer wants my food log. Uh Oh, I'm in trouble now. My motivation is nil. I say I want to do this, but everyday I find some reason to overeat. Been stressed because of the weather and bored at work. Both are big reasons for me to eat.
I think I lost like 4 lb...
