2月26日 Stephanie: I need helpI can not seem to get myself back into the groove. I have no energy. Things been busy at work. I have been getting off late this week. I went through drive thru Monday and today because I too tired to cook. I can't sleep at night, I am tired all day, falling asleep about 6 up at 7p. I am exhusted. I have not been getting my water in like I should. I have not gotten my vegatables in. Only 1/2 of my milk. I am still feeling pretty lousy. It has moved from my chest to my stomach. I have gotten so far off track, it is not funny. I am in danger of losing my focus, my accomplishments, and my goal. I need to get my butt in gear. What I need is a personal trainer. Someone to push me, show me what do, how to do it safely. I know the person who needs to be accoutable is me. I need to put a plan in place.
1.) Get healthy
2.) Drink 6 8oz water a day
3.) eat 5 servings of veggies/fruit a day
4.) 2 milk servings a day
5.) Plan meals ahead of time.
6.) keep plenty of healthy snacks in house.
7.) Do not buy unhealthy snacks. Too much temptation
8.) Make enough for left over lunch the next day. Keep me away from the drive thru.
9.) PORTION CONTROL
I do not have an offical weigh in this week. I missed the meeting because my oldest wanted me to watch her bowl for the last time. I think this is part of my problem. I was not able to stay for the meeting last time and I did not get to go this time as well. I need to get back. I did buy a scale for home because the suspense was killing me not knowing what I weighed. It weighs me at 208.4. Not thinking that is an accurate weight. Obviously every scale weighs you differently so I really did not get a true sense of my weight. I will have to weigh my self Sat before my meeting then compare what the results are.
I don't think I have cried any season of Biggest Loser than I have this season. Tonight's vote was selfless. I really like the blue team. I am rooting for Roger to win it all. I want trent to come back and win as well. I am amazed at the temptation the blue team contiunes to face and does very well in resisting temptation. I also have to say Mark look really good at the update. Have a good night. 2月22日 Shelley: Getting Back at itI still can't talk but I am feeling much better. I feel myself falling back into my old traps. I've not journaled all week. I know it's been due to being sick but I have fallen into the back habit. Today has been bad. I had a mt dew and ate out twice. Tomorrow will be a new day. Unfortunately, lunch may be rough. We have a wrestling tourney to go to so it will be concession stand for lunch. I'll try to just have a small snack and have a better supper. I wanted to sit down and do an actual menu but with all the school work I haven't had a chance to do it. I know school has a lot to do with my bad choices. Steph warned me of this. The good thing is that our clinical instructor doesn't want us to leave to eat so we have to pack a lunch for clinical days. No big deal. I'll pack something light. I'll try to do that as well on Thursday. Wednesday I should be home for lunch unless I have to work.
I'm so proud of Steph. Her motivation motivates me. I love seeing her excited and knowing that she is doing well helps me. She has been really good this last week. Neither one of us has felt good. We had a death in the family. It's been a long week. We both survived it and tomorrow starts a new week. Steph is right. One bad week doesn't undo all the good we have done. I know it's been extremely hard. I was extremely sick. Heck, i can't wait to talk again. Today was somewhat better. I had a voice every now and then. Maybe tomorrow I can actually talk. New week ahead and I'm going to work on getting back to exercising slowly. I'm still a little congested and don't want to make myself sick again. I am anxious for spring. Come on warm weather! I want to walk outside without slipping and sliding around. Stephanie: Non scale victoryI am starting to feel better. I am still feeling weak but I can breathe better and the coughing has subsided. Thank goodness. I am hoping to try to get some exercise tomorrow. I think I am going to try to walk tomorrow. I do not want to overdo it my first day. The bad thing about being sick is not exercising. I lose the motivation for exercising. It always starts this way. Once I stop exercising for a while it is hard to get back into it. Then I start to slip back in to old habits slowly. I am glad I am recognizing the signs of the pattern. I need to break it. One thing i need is the motivation to continue. Something to stop and say look. "You are fine. One week is not going to ruin all you have worked for." When I started losing weight, I wore a size 24 that were really getting snug. I could not get my 22s up over my hips. It was a happy day when I could button those jeans. I decided to go to try on jeans to see how far I was form getting into a 20. I grabbed a pair and went to the dressing room. I put them on and pulled them up. All I could think was, "Hey they are up. I actually got them over my hips. How great is that. Then I BUTTONED them. It was all i could do to contain my self. I was jumping up in down in the dressing room. So I decided to be brave and try a smaller size on. I grabbed a pair of 18ws and then I decided to try the 16s as well. So I went back in to the dressing room and tried on the 18w. Not only could I get them over my hips, I was able to button those as well. I am beside myself. I could feel the tears coming. How long as it been since I was in a size 18w. I am guessing at least 8 years. They are a little snug and I have the muffin top thing going with my stomach, but wow. 4 months ago, I could not even get 22s over my hips and now I am buttoning 18s. So just for fun I decided to try the 16w. They went up over the hips as well. I couldn't button them though. But there was only a inch or gap. I am on my way. That is the motivation I need to continue on. I can do this. I will do this. 2月20日 Shelley: Half way HumanI'm alive. I can't talk and I've been very sick but I'm getting better. I'm not really thinking diet this week unfortunately. I've lost by being sick. Hopefully, it won't all come back. I just wanted to come on real quick and check in. 2月19日 Stephanie: Long weekIt's been a long week so far and it is only Tuesday. I have a bad cold or an upper respiratory infection. It has knocked me for a loop. I have not been able to exercise the last 2 days. When I tried, I got dizzy and nauseous. I figured I better get rest and get back on my feet before I try to exercise again. I know it can be worse. Poor Shelley has the flu. She has been fighting this for a week now. I am going to push on and regain my strength and energy back. Just want to say Way to go Blue team. They really knocked off the pounds. Going home was great for them. I have to say I was shocked at all the food at the coming home parties. There was a lot of temptations for their first day back. I also want to say the Ziploc steam bags rock. I have been using them since before they were available in the stores. They are fantastic. They have really made a difference in my weight loss. It is quick, easy, healthy , and tasty. Hard to believe you can get a moist piece of chicken in the microwave. I love to add a little Mrs. Dash seasonings to my veggies. I always carry 2 in my purse in case I need it. I do not like raw veggies so I will put them in the Ziploc bag and presto.......... Steamed veggies.. Yummy. Found a new veggie to love. Spaghetti Squash. Quick and easy way to cook it is in the microwave for a few minutes to soften it. Then cut it in half., scrap out the pulp and seeds, put it back in the microwave for 6-8 minutes. When it is soft, use a fork to shred the inside. The squash will look like spaghetti noodles. add a little spaghetti sauce and you have a healthier alternative to pasta. I added chicken and and low fat mozzarella cheese for chicken parmesan. Great meal. 2月17日 Stephanie: Updated measurementsThis weekend has not been a great one as far as diet and exercise goes. It started Saturday. Our local hot dog stand re opened for the season on the 14th. B&K has the best spanish cheese dogs. Unfortunately they are high in points when you add it all together. But so good. I have been having the munchies and cravings to eat junk food and chocolate all day. I tried to control myself. I did end up eating ice cream last night. But at least it was fat free and made with splenda and it had 6 gm of fiber. I manage to only go over points by 0.5pts after the activity point deducted. Pretty good. Then came today. The day started off good. After church we decided to take the kids to Pizza Hut. Big mistake on my part. It was buffet day. I had no will power. The hot cheesy pizza was so good. I just kept eating them. I acted like I was starving. 7 pizzas later my stomach was hurting. Gee I wonder why. I hate to see the damage I did with that. I felt like you could just roll me out of the restaurant. I tried to stay within reason on point the rest of the day. I was not to hard since I was not hungry the rest of the time. I munched on 1 -2 point items. I was feeling kind of depressed with the way I fell off the wagon, I decided to take measurements today. Still losing inches. Great.

2月16日 Stephanie: I'm a loserYep, that right I have lost this week. 1 pound. Puts my weight down to 212.2 lbs. When I lose 1.2 more pounds, I will be the weight I was when I was ready to give birth to my oldest child. I did not win the bracelet this week. I did not exercise as much as I normally do. I only earned 18 activity points this week. I have been getting between 22-28 points. My kids were sick this week and then I was not feeling well Thursday and I had a severe headache Friday. So I did not earn activity points last 2 days. I did manage to do 25 ab crunches on the stability ball Thursday evening before I started feeling bad but I did not earn any activity points for that. I can feel it in my abs today though. Goes to show, every little bit helps. Just need to refocus and continue to work hard. and stay healthy. Shelley: I WON!!!I finally won the bracelet and am so happy!!! Ironically, I can't get the bracelet because I couldn't go to weight watchers this morning because I was sick. I'm feeling somewhat better this morning compared to last night when I was running a fever and freezing. This morning it's just my chest and my energy level has plummeted. I got on my scales at home in my pj's and it weighed me at 234 which is a 4.2 pound loss. It always weighs me a little lower then the scales at ww. I won't count it as my official loss because I only count the loss at ww. It would be nice if the scales next week are just as nice or even a little nicer. LOL!!! 233.8 is my 10% goal and 25 pounds lost. I would be halfway to Indy. Well, all I can do is be good this week and try. I can't wait to see how Steph did if she got to go to the meeting. I felt bad because I'm her ride but I didn't want to get her sick. 2月14日 Shelley: ThursdayToday was a good day. I finished my first nursing class with an A. I'm pretty proud of myself. I replace this class with 3 classes though so we'll see how that goes. I also had a job interview today. It went well and I can have the job if I want to but I have another interview tomorrow and want to see how that goes. I didn't do very well diet wise today. I'm doing okay with activity but I can always be better. I need to make better choices when i have to eat out. I did gravitate towards veggies today at Golden Corral and supper was subway. I love the new subway garlic chicken sub. I put it in a wrap though. I don't like all the bread. I am over all doing better this week. Other than Saturday which I went over points slightly, I have stayed within points all week.
Biggest Loser was emotional. I think it's sad that Trent went home.He was the one who was losing for the right reasons and not for money. No money in the world can replace your health. You can't buy health. Seeing your children grow up is worth more money than all the money in the bank. I also thought Jillian's mom talking to the black team was a great idea. You have to figure out why you got big to begin with. You can't fix what you don't acknowledge is broken. I know i'm fat from turning to food instead of finding things to replace it. It was easy to turn to food for whatever reason I could think of. I got bored. I ate. I got mad. I ate. I got depressed. I ate. I hurt. I ate. Food was the cure all. No more. Exercise can cure me just as well. I can read a book. Do homework. Food is not worth it. I eat to live not live to eat! 2月12日 Stephanie: TuesdayI have to say I was not expecting the Biggest Loser to be as emotional as it was this week. I loved Jillian's mom coming on the show. It is so important to be able to know why you turn to food. Losing the weight is great, but it will come back if you don't fix the problem that started it. Paul broke my heart. I hate to think of any child in that situation. How about Trent. He is a stand up kind of guy. How selfless was it for him to say send me home. He was the person I was rooting for this season. He played with his heart to lose the weight, not to win the money. So where did my weight come from. Years of eating unhealthy foods without any thought of what it could be doing to me. Depression, unhappiness, feeling unloved, stress. The list could go on. The one thing I have realized is that The person who needs to love me the most is me. How could I ever feel that anyone elso loved me if I didn't love myself. Once i stopped depending on somone else to make me feel loved and worth it and started depending on myself, I could feel a change. One thing I did was turn to God. I found a strength that I have not had before. Faith goes a long way. I am a lot stronger now than I was a year ago. I am where I want to be yet but I will be. 2月10日 Stephanie:PicturesI just had to add a new photo of me. Granted it has my husband as well, but this is the first picture of me in along time that I have not deleted. Our daughter took the picture on my cell phone so it is not perfect. I have always hated pictures of me. I always look bad. When I look at myself in the pictures I would get disgusted with myself. That is why I am the one usually behind the camera. But this one made me go WOW. I can see a change. I still have a long way to go but I am liking what I see now. Shelley: New AttitudeThis weekend has been enlightening. I didn't good on food choices. I did stay pretty much within point range but the food choices could have been better. I bought myself an mp3 player to use while I'm exercising. I used it this evening on the elliptical instead of watching the tv. It was nice. I could use the music and speed up the pace and concentrate on it. I also found myself able to focus on what I was doing. I got into myself and it was nice. I have to start staying away from the bad foods and stop going for convenience. I have the ability to lose the weight. I have the support, determination, and motives to lose the weight. I can't go wrong. I want to see a 2 pound loss on the scale this next Saturday. I have to make a plan to make that happen. Here's my plan.
1. Drink water, water, water! Taking water in flushes water out.
2. Exercise, exercise, and more exercise!
3. Fruits and veggies!
4. Limit eating out! When I do have to on Thursday, I have to make better choices.
5. Stay focused!
I can lose the weight. I just have to work at it and make it happen! 2月9日 Shelley: Small lossI lost .4 pounds this week. Yippee!! It's better then nothing. I have lost 20 pounds now on the weight watcher program. I am finding it somewhat difficult to follow the plan and go to school and stay sane. LOL!!! I will get there. As you know, Steph won our bracelet again. Congrats Steph! I did do better then last week so I did get a small victory. There is always next week. I'm going to lose the weight and do really good this week. Stephanie: Weigh in day-2.4 lbs. I would say it was a good day. I guess the last chance workout was a success. My total weight loss for this challange is 6.8. My total for since I made the decision to change my lifestyle is 32.2 lbs. I do not see a difference when I look in the mirror but I am noticing a difference in my clothing. My uniforms are getting baggy, my bras are much looser. I droped one size so far. I have to say I am loving it. I really like it when people look at me and say I look thinner. Easpecially in the face. No if I can get the double chin thing down, even better. As for activity points. I received 28 this week. I won the activity bracelet again. 2月8日 Stephanie: last chance workoutI have been behind on exercise this week. My husband had to work the split shift this week so I did not have anyone to watch the kids e=while I worked out. I tried to make up for it on Wednesday. I Zumba'd. Then later that night I went back to the gym to work out some more. Today I went to the gym after work I did stair stepper, elliptical for 20 minutes. Then I went upstairs to the weight room and lifted weights for 40 minutes. Afterwards I was feeling great. I decided to walk on the treadmill for 15 minutes. Later I went home and had a healthy dinner. I had tilapia steamed, steamed Brussels sprouts, and a spinach salad. It was yummy. Tomorrow is weigh in day. I am concerned that the extra exercise I did might make me retain water. Guess I will find out in the morning. Have a good night,
2月6日 Stephanie:I'm back baby. I was able to go to Zumba today. Pretty happy about that. Exercise is a great thing. I have learned that I feel so much better after I exercise. I can tell if I have not done it for a couple of days. My mood is irritable. Better today. It should be great tomorrow. Thank You Shelley for motivating me to exercise. You are right. I need to exercise even if it just at home walking in place. I am in control of my body. Hope every one has a great night. Shelley: Roller CoasterThis week has been a rolle coaster of a week. I love roller coasters but not the emotional kind. I've not made the best choices food wise due to the coaster. I have been drawn to Oreo cookies. This is not a good thing. Steph has done great convincing me not to eat them. She has yelled at me numerous times. I'm doing real good with exercise though. I honestly think I have a good shot at it this week. It's the one thing going right. School is harder then I anticipated and I am in the need of finding a job. I will find one. I think the important thing now is to stay positive and look forward to the future. I will lose the weight and survive school.
My opinion of the Biggest Loser really echoes Steph's. I am glad that Jackie got voted off. She was a real good game player. I didn't like her attitude on the show. I didn't like that her and her son threw the one weigh in. I think her success when she left the show was amazing. Her attitude was much better as well. I guess competition can make people show a not so nice side to themselves. I can't wait to see next week's episode. I look forward to it every week. 2月5日 Stephanie: Another dayAnother day goes by. Trying to stay on plan, find time to exercise, cook healthy meals. The list goes on. Plan wise i am still within my points. I have not made the bed choices this week though food wise. It is a learning process. I have found that I am a snacker. I would mindlessly eat chips or crackers, ice cream, whatever was available. Not because I was hungry but because I needed something to do. My mouth needs to be constantly moving when I am just sitting watching TV. I took the advice from Jillian on I believe last week's show about chewing gum. I am chewing Wrigley's Extra sugar free gum Berry Pearadise is so good. I love the flavor lasts longer. It is keeping my mouth busy. better than shoving junk in my body.
How did you like the Biggest Loser this week. I had to say I started to jump for joy when Jakie was voted off. On the show she came across to me as smug, superior and snotty. I did enjoy the follow up on her. She looked fantastic. I also did not see the same kind of attitude that I saw while she was at the ranch. She was positive and glowing. It goes to show competition changes people.
I want to say thanks to my partner. She kept trying to motive me to exercise at home since I could not get to the gym Monday and Tuesday. I ended up missing Zumba as well. Bummer. I did exercise at home today but it was not the same. I couldn't get the high intensity I want. But some exercise is better than none. I am definitely more motivated at the gym. 2月2日 Stephanie: Weigh In215.6 lbs. Weigh in was good today. I lost 1.4 lbs. I was happy to see I lost the 0.4 lb i gained last week plus another pound. That puts me at 30 lb loss. It feels good knowing that I worked hard that the the scales moved. I won our activity challenge this week. I think I have fully recovered after last Sunday's workout. I think I pushed myself too far and I could feel it all week. I think Friday was the first time my muscles did not hurt. After weight watchers, Shelley and I went for a walk around the mall. Earned activity points. Today I did not want to work out. Instead I took my kids sledding. It was my son's first time. He had a blast. At first he did not want to go down but he did it. By the end of the day he was going down by himself. Once on the way down he was yelling "I like this over and over. This was the first time I went sledding in years. I have not been comfortable doing it. But I did it and had a blast. I got a work out dragging the sled back up the hill. The last 1/2 hour or so, my son did not want to walk up the hill so he would lie down in the sled and I would have to put both him and the sled. By the end, I was tired. We went home and got dry clothes on and I took a nap. I want to say to Shelley, great job on the exercise this week. She had school, homework, tests to study for and work but continued to work out. Even though the scales did not move down you still are a Loser  You are losing the habits that you have had for so long. How easy was it to say I don't want to exercise. Before would we started on out weight loss journey, would you of continued to stay on the elliptical for 15 minutes longer after you want to stop? You are an inspiration to many people. You lost weight when you could not get up and move. At a time when someone would have used the surgery and the no weight bearing as an excuse to eat what ever they wanted, you decided to change your lifestyle and eating habits. At a time when someone else would of gained weight, you continued to lose weight. Great job Shelley. You truely are the Biggest Loser. Shelley: A Tiny GainOk, I had a small, teeny tiny gain. I gained .2. I wasn't surprised because i woke up feeling like a beached whale. I was shocked that I didn't gain more. I also lost the bracelet challenge AGAIN! Ugh, this is frustrating to be honest. I'm going to work a lot harder this week on everything. I know I'll have a loss next weekend. Congrats to Steph for winning again! She is doing so great and is such an inspiration to me. She is my biggest support! I couldn't do this without her. |
