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!

Celebrate the small successes. I'm still not doing great, but I am doing better - and that's a start. I just had to share that my weight this morning is back down to 192.2 and this makes me very happy - especially since my new obsession is iced coffee (homemade, of course!).

So I'm still apparently lacking the motivation to get moving and do what I need to do to get myself healthier. I'm frustrated with myself, but again, apparently not frustrated enough to do something about it. I have cut back on my junk food/snack intake. I also have been avoiding soda for the most part. I've had one once in a while, but I haven't bought any soda to keep on hand which has definitely helped. I haven't been drinking enough fluids daily, but I'm working on that slowly. My main problem with this is the more I drink the more I have to use the restroom. And I don't know about you, but running errands with a toddler and having to go to the restroom contantly sucks.
My weight as of this morning is 193.8, so at least I'm going back down to where I was before I fell off the wagon completely and was subsequently run over by it. Lol.
Next Friday afternoon we're leaving to go on a long roadtrip to see two friends. We'll be gone for twelve days total including travel days. Five of those days will be travelling there and back. I'm hoping that this doesn't put my weight way back up, so I'm going to consciously try to make better choices while away from home. Wish me strength on this one, because I'm going to need it!

No news is bad news. At least for me and my healthy journey. UGH!!! Why do I keep doing this to myself! I feel like I can't get anything done, much less exercise and eat healthy. There has been a lot going on lately, and I guess I'm letting it all get the better of me.
My weight as of this morning was 197.2. Yuck! And I haven't eaten healthy today either. Protein shake for breakfast. Chips. Two sandwiches and more chips. Lemonade. Yup, that's so not good for me at all. When will I ever learn? Apparently not today.
I did go to the gym on Sunday and worked out with the trainer. He kicked my butt big time. My arms are sore, but at least it's not like how sore I was the last time.
So life's been getting in the way. The hubs is working like mad. He works with the military Monday through Friday during the day. Then he's working part time in the evening, and for the past while he's been scheduled both weekend days and four weeknights. Eventually that schedule is going to get better (hopefully at least one weekend day off and 1-2 evenings off each week), but until it does, it sucks. My son still wakes up just about every night. Oh how I miss the days when my first born was sleeping through the night really early on. My son's almost two and still not consistently sleeping through the night. :( I go to bed way too late (around midnight most nights). My husband's grandmother lost her battle with breast cancer and passed away recently (and unfortunatley she lived out of state). We've gone out of town to help out my husband's mom. We had one of our nephews for a week, and the other nephew during the day for four of those days. My daughter had a really bad case of bronchittis that wouldn't go away. Life's just crazy. And next week we're going on a long roadtrip to visit an old friend. Like I said, crazy.
I'm hoping I can get my head in it soon, because this is my health I'm tossing to the side. I'm going to shoot for the water goal again. I was doing well until we went out of town to help out my mother-in-law. And when we got home, I didn't even try. I need to stop this mentality of all or nothing because it DOESN'T WORK!!!
