Good Morning!

I'm dragging today. Wednesday's are my late night at school so Thursday morning are always rough because I don't get much sleep.

Nothing is really new here. I've done really really good with my exercise this week and pretty good with my eating. I had some veggies with dip and crackers with cheese yesterday and have no idea how many calories, etc. I ate.

I will post more later after I wake up and get in my exercise for the day.

By the way where is everyone recently?

I wonder where everyone is also. I know I havent been talking food or weight loss lately. I seem to be burnt out on the whole idea. I talk about it 2 days a week, and help others solve their problems, so when it comes to me, I just dont want to think! I need to kick it back into gear though, I have those few last lbs that Ive been trying to lose since August, not trying hard though.

So, Kara and I have been talking the last few weeks about how we need a kick in the butt to get on the right track and when I steped on the scale last night, I think I got just what I need. I am ashamed to say that I am only 20 pounds shy of what I was when I was 9 mos preggo. Considering I put on 50 pounds during pregnancy, that is NOT good!!!!!! It has been WAY, WAY too long since I have been diligent about exercise and eating right. I REFUSE to buy the next size up and my clothes are getting tight. I am planning on doing swimming lessons with Caiti this summer and almost backed out because I don't want to be seen in a swimming suit. I am SO done being fat! I needed something to kick me in the butt and I think that this is it. I am wearing the pedomiter again and am committed to getting 10,000 steps/day (I already have 2800 today), I am going to make sure that I do AT LEAST 30 min of activity per day. I used to be able to do Walk Away the Pounds - 3 mile w/o stopping. I just got done with the first mile and can feel the burn. That is ridiculous. I have been feeling really depressed about not being able to get pregnant and have put on over 30 pounds in the last year. I cannot continue to use this as an excuse. I am going to get the three mile exercise tape done today (even if I only can do one mile at a time), I am going to make sure I get 10,000 steps, I am going to eat healthier. I am SO DONE!

Goals for the day:
10,000 steps
3 mile exercise video
8 cups of water
3 servings of dairy
Eat within WW points target
diary food intake

Hi Jen.. sometimes we all need that kick in the butt to get us going. About not being able to get pg..sometimes taht extra weight will make it hard to get pg. So perhaps losing the weight will help! Daily exercise also helps with depression. I will be getting P90X next week... so Im commiting myself to 90 days of working out (I know they have one day a week off to recover). I want to have an awesome 6 pack by the time I go visit family in August. Ive got a really nice bathing suit that I got from Victoria Secret, only it does show that belly a little, and Im not comfortable with that. So I have to do something. I have been looking at the message boards for the P90X and a lot of people are seeing results pretty quick. Im goign to look at the meals they recommend and balance it out with WW.
