back on track? again?
Sep 10, 2010
Well, I have struggled this past year. I have been in the same weight range all year. can't seem to lose some new poundage but I am pleased that I am not gaining past this range. I had my band emptied and am now eating a more proper lapband diet. I am exercising more.
I am actually working on walking a half marathon on Oct 9th. I am planning on pushing my special needs son in his chair for this event!! between his weight and the weight of the chair it is about 150 pounds. I have 4 hours to complete this.
Hoping my training and actually walking etc will all result in weight loss.
I am not giving up... I am happy with how I look right now. I am happy with how I feel. I want to improve these things though but food and weight loss are not my main concerns in life any more- not the things I look forward to or dread anymore!

back on track

Well, I have to admit I have gotten off track a bit. I had a few health concerns and family struggles so I fell into some of my old habits. BUT I am happy to say that I am working my way through them. I want people to know that none of us are perfect. We all make mistakes, it happens. We have to learn to not beat ourselves up over it. That will most often just keep us on the bad habit track.
It is hard though to recommit ourselves to exercise and good foods if we stray for long. BUT remember why you went on the journey to begin with. We all knew that it was still work. We all knew we are still accountible for our actions. So I decided this is the week I am going to hold myself accountible. I can't say "oh hubby isn't going to the gym so I won't go- it's his fault if I gain this week" I am a big girl. I can haul my hind parts to the gym all alone. He should not be my scapegoat. It is up to me, no one else.
I see these commercials lately where people are reading letters they wrote to themselves about quitting smoking... I think we need to do that. "Dear Me- Remember you had surgery to lose weight so you can see your grandbabies grow up, so you can hike up the mountains during hunting season, so you can tend your special needs son. You are eating out of control and not exercising. You are abusing your tool. A tool so many people would love to have but don't get to have- a tool that you are not being appreciative of. remember those comments of praise when you were making quick and fast weight loss progress... how good you felt about yourself. How good you can continue to feel about yourself? well, knock off the bad habits, kick your hind end back in gear and lets get on with it. Food is only a tool to survival not your life. love, me"
I have been to the gym twice this week. Day one- hour on treadmill then a combo class that used every muscle in my body and found some i didn't know about! Day two a different combo class that I just loved. Day three was rest and tonight is work out with wii fit or something at home.
