Week 18

So again sorry for posting this so late.  This past week, I did a pretty good job at watching what I eat.  Even though it was the end of when my family was in town, I was still very good about being careful.  I was able to watch to make sure that I don't overeat, and yet I was also able to allow myself to have some really good sweets that I don't normally get.  This past week I was also able to exercise every day.  On Friday after doing 30 minutes on the bike, I even went out with my siblings and played tennis for 2 hours!  I was so sore the next day, but that was a big improvement for me.  I feel that I am doing much better at stopping when I am full.  I just now need to get back on a good schedule of when to wake up, so that I don't exercise too late in the day.

Here's what you've been waiting for: 282 (current weight) - 150 (goal weight) = 132 pounds to go!!!!

Goals for this week

• Exercise for at least 30 minutes a day, (1 hour if I can)
• Eat more fruits and Vegetables
• Pay attention to calories
• Stop eating when full

Week 17

So as I stated in my last post, I got sick towards the end of last week, and so this week has been interesting as  well.  Dealing with the illness, looking for a job, subbing, and visiting with family has made it very busy.  However, because of my illness I didn't work as much as I should have, since I wasn't exactly feeling up to it.  But most days I did exercise, in fact, while I was exercising my body actually felt better.  I've just found that riding the bike is not getting to be as much of a chore as it used to be.  So this week I used my bike's preset workouts.  I started with the first one towards the end of last week, and so during the middle of this week I tried out the second workout.  They are challenging, but they also help to keep me focused on pedaling.  I have also noticed that most days instead of just pedaling 10 mph, I am now pedaling at about 12 mph.  I am even doing that when the resistance goes up, which is a big deal for me.  But I'm still not even that focused on it, I just ride the bike and watch a show.  It has just become a part of what I do.

Here's what you've been waiting for:  283 (current weight) - 150 (goal weight) = 133 pounds to go!!!!

Goals for this week:

• exercise everyday for an hour (at least half an hour)
• eat more fruits and vegetables
• stop eating when full

Week 16

So sorry that I'm posting this a week behind, but between job hunting and spending time with family, I've been busy.  So I have been doing much better at being less hard on myself when I make mistakes.  Which is something that I have really needed to work on.  Before when I made a mistake, I would automatically get upset with myself and then go back to what I was doing before because it's obviously not working.  But now when I make a mistake, I just brush it off as a bad day, and try to make it up another day.  Towards the end of this week I was starting to get sick, so I exercised but not as much.  I am proud of myself though, even when I went up to visit with my family, which for me with my eating, can be very stressful, because I like to be in control of what, when, and how much I eat, which doesn't work very easily when someone else is cooking.  But I was able to eat smaller portions, slower, and I brought my own snacks with me, which helped for when I got hungry later that day.

So here's what you wanna know:  285 (current weight) - 150 (goal weight) = 135 pounds to go!!!

I'm not gonna post the goals for this week, since it's already over.
