Eating and struggle

Looking hard at eating and stress eating in particular. I just need to start doing what is right and get moving on the weight loss. I've dropped a size and inches but i want the damn scale to move.

i know muscle weighs more but it would be nice to see me moving toward the healthy side of pounds.

prayers needed and i must change. will have to start posting food journal ..ugh the thing i hate the most.

small steps small steps!

Okay after whining and griping for over a week. I have finally had some results:

i have lost a half inch as earlier this week. Then i measured again and i'm now down another half inch. only 2 inches away from my goal. This is so exciting.

I lost an inch off my hips! that is some thing wonderful! My hips haven't lost inches in a long while.

Got a nordic track elliptical off craigslist for $50 and it works beautifully.


It was finals that was stressing me out and all the travel i've had to do for work and school and getting the car fixed and many things coming at me all at once. I miss my husband.

week 17 workout in

Well, despite my sinus headache i was able to get in my workout today. I found Sudafed sinus headache meds and it clears me up just fine.

I used 8lbs weights for the Step up Press combo. Not ready for 10lbs on my shoulders.

it's a very sore spot since they got messed up in high school.

Using the new 10lbs weights for the pullover goblet squat was a good change. The goblet squat i used one 10lbs and one 8lbs weight to total to 18lbs. Much better than last time i did workout B.

For the dead lift i still need to go heavier. for chest press as well so i made it harder by doing it on the stability ball.

As for the SB pass i did a ladder today 6,8, 10 passes for each time i came to the exercise. So i progressed from a small number to 2 passes over the recommended reps. I'm glad i could finish with a high number but would like to do 10 passes every set.

I feel strong and happy that i have gotten through this workout and found amendments that need to be made and ways to increase the challenge of a movements until i get heavier weights.

week 17..struggle and the blues

Did the April workout as posted on the website and i have to say it was the toughest workout to date..not because it is tough by nature to challenge me, but because i've been a wreck for the last week.

Hubby had to leave 4 days before Easter to return to duty in Iraq. My mom got sick so i couldn't go up there to spend Easter with them so even though i did get to go over to a friend's house, Easter to me felt empty.

I mis him and can smell him in bed and i randomly cry throughout the day. A love song came on during my workout and i was crying doing push-ups. I'm just empty. I had a complete household for 15 beautiful days and i'm back to an incomplete home.

I thought this wouldn't be so hard for me to go back to the existence i was working with work school and baby. It's plenty hard and i'm not doing well with this. Trying to go out with friends and look forward to the new movies coming out and go see them so i can get relife from being mom for an hour or two but I want my daughter to be with daddy. I want to come home to a husband who smells b/c he's been working out or doing house repairs. I want to have Sunday breakfast with my hubby sitting across from me and get huranged for kissing in the restaurant.

Just have to keep pushing i guess. It will get better ...right??

Friday Workout A Toughie

I was tired so my workout was tough. I went back to doing the 3 day a week schedule this week.

So after Intervals resistance was just rough. I did get through the whole thing though slower than i had anticipated.

I so want the fat off my thighs to melt away i can feel my muscle under there and i'd love to show the hard work. I know it will come with time though.

Eating better making sure to get the green in every meal and stay away from those comfort foods i really want due to stress.

Since the last two weeks have been off due to mid terms, emotional eating and what not i would like to start over. i think I'm going to i wanted to give these 16 weeks my best and the last two weeks have NOT been my best.

I need a new plan of attack. going to have to think about this tomorrow at church while i pray. I do some of my best thinking there. The music and intonation of the word from Father make it so ideal to pray and think about what i need help with and what i need to work on.

Working on programming for the library is also taking time. I need to stop working and start doing things for me..i think this is where i go awry. Plan but plan for myself as well.

Okay meals for this week:
Chicken Thighs with Olives and Tomato Sauce
with rice
Slow Roasted Rosemary and Garlic Chicken
with rice
Considering most of these family style recipes last so long i only need to plan for 3 at most a week. I kinda like that.

My breakfasts are consisting of eggs, salsa and avocado. no tortilla necessary.
other breakfasts are what and flax seed waffles with yogurt and fresh fruit.

yummy!

rediscovering peaches and how good they are. Finally found some in juice instead of syrup and it's heaven. Frozen berry mix is also economical and delicious. The juice from the defrost process is great. what a treat.

I feel better for having written.

Week 6 Friday & Saturday

Yesterday my intervals i only got thru 4 cycles. it was crazy i felt so tired...it was so odd. I think after i got over the tired feeling i did a 5th cycle but it was tough.

Ironically today i feel energized and ready to take on Workout B. I wonder if it was a lack of water or not enough food?

kept the stress eating this week down to only one day where i had a really upset patron at the library so i ate 4 sticks of kitkat.
Other than that, i've been on pint with portion sizing and ensuring that i east enough, except for yesterday.

i thought i had eaten enough. Oh i know what it was i brought enough food for dinner to work but b/c of the irate patron( who threatened to sue) I was upset so i didn't eat enough! I had brought enough but i didn't eat it all.

will have to measure again on Monday because the pants i was just fitting into on Monday were loose today! I'm excited.

Saturday:

Did my intervals. my 30 sec burst was using the step and i really burned it out. it felt good.
