So far so good. I drank my minimum 64 ounces of water yesterday, didn't have any soda and ate three meals (and a couple of not-so-good-for-you snacks).
Today I've been better in some areas, and slacked off in another. I had a soda. I blame the husband. He brought it home from job #1 to take with him to job #2 and forgot it in the freezer. So since I knew it was there in the kitchen taunting me, I grabbed it and drank it - all the while cursing the husband. Lol. It's not his fault I have crappy will power right now. I've had three meals - mostly good choices too, and only one bad snack. I've also had LOTS of water today. Yay for baby steps!
These are the ramblings of one woman on her journey to go from fat to fit, NOT fat to thin. There will be a little bit of this and that thrown in occasionally, so excuse the clutter of the mind going on in this blog!

So I'm doing really bad right now. My weight's back up to 196.8 as of this morning. I'm frustrated, but obviously not enough to do what needs to be done. I've watched my weight creep up and I did nothing to stop it. Well, I'm going to get back to changing my habits, one thing at a time. Baby steps. This weeks baby step is to drink a minimum of 64 ounces of water every day. I'm also shooting for eating less junk food and soda, and to eat 3 meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner), each day.
So far today, I'm already on track for my baby step goals, but then again it's only 10am. I am optimistic that I can and will stay on track.

I'm having a hard time finding motivation lately. It's a daily struggle to get the day to day things done, and summer activities for the kids, much less exercise or eat right. I want to be motivated, but I'm just not. I know what I should do, but I can't bring myself to do it. I'm really struggling with myself lately and I'm not sure how to overcome it. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to share them with me!

I've been bad. Really bad.
I've been eating horribly - my sweet tooth has been ruling the roost. And I've been indulging in way too much soda too. It's so bad that I just had an ice cream sandwich, and am drinking a soda (and not even a diet soda) while I write this.
I'm really going to try to eat/drink better tomorrow. Most of the junk food is out of the house now, and while there are still plenty of sodas around, I'm really going to fight to limit myself to one a day or none at all. I'm hoping I have the strength to do that. Soda is my weakness, or as I put it, it's my addiction. Seriously, I crave soda the way (I'm pretty sure) a smoker craves a ciggarette (something I know nothing about since I don't smoke).
So I didn't take my measurements this week, so if I remember, I'll try to take them tomorrow to see where I'm essentially restarting at. My weight's still in the same range, thankfully. This morning it was 192.0, which works for me. Not gaining is a good thing since I've been so bad lately.
I did try out another tasty and reasonably lower calorie dish yesterday. It was Hungry Girl's Pulled Chicken (aka barbeque chicken sandwiches).

MY. LEGS. HURT.
Did you get that? My legs hurt! Big time! Let me just put it to you this way, my legs hurt so much that just going up one step or getting into my SUV hurts. I can walk around, but getting up from sitting or even sitting down hurts bad. Going up the stairs is killer, and I mean that. I feel like my legs won't work. While standing today I've had my legs buckle on me twice.
So now that you get that my legs are really really sore, I'm just going to say that I didn't do much today at all and I'm not ashamed to admit that. Lol.
I ate/drank poorly today. Dang cookies! I should know better to let someone else go grocery shopping with me. Good news is that the pack of cookies that was bought this morning is almost gone. And no, I didn't eat them all myself.
So I'm going to take my butt to bed and get some rest and hope that my legs are a little less sore tomorrow morning. I'm not really expecting that, but I can hope!
