Sidetracked...Again!

I didn't make it to the gym this morning again, that's 2 days now. My son has strep throat and up all night for 2 nights so i've been a walking zombie. I've had no energy or motivation to do any exercises. He's feeling alittle better now. I'm going to hit the gym in the evening and will be going Sat and Sunday. Can't wait...I'm missing it!

Help! I'm Hungry!

Yes, like the title says! Yesterday was a really hard day for me. It seemed like whatever I ate wasn't filling me up. I had an egg scrambled with cheese, a slice of wheat toast and orange juice for breakfast. Had cottage cheese for my mid snack. For lunch, I had a bowl of shrimp wonton soup and a banana. Then for dinner I had mexican rice, beans and green beans but in a smaller portion than I usually eat. After dinner, I was still hungry so I just drank more water.

Then when it was time for bed, I had hunger pains....Oh, it was so bad. I dreamt of cake topped with tons of icing and filled with pineapple filing and hamburgers!! LOL! That's how bad it was. I don't know what that was all about but today I feel some what better not as hungry as yesterday, that's for sure.

This doesn't happen all the time to me but somedays it just creeps up. I would like to know what to do on days like this?

Day 15: Weigh In

Today's weigh in......268.8 lbs. So basically I haven't lost nothing this week. I was so disappointed but then I have to admit, I ate out yesterday and really didn't watch the calories. My son had his friend over so we decided to head over to Taco Bell. Haven't been there in years. Had a steak Grilled Stuffed Burrito, which is like near 700 calories and then we headed to Dairy Queen for Strawberry Cheesecake Blizzards. Another 730 calories!!! Oh, how I wish I didn't do that.....

Anyhow, I decided to take measurements of my body and compare them to my starting measurements. A friend encouraged me to take measurements when there wasn't a change at the scale.

I have an app I downloaded off of iTunes for my Ipod Touch called BodyShot and that's where I track my measurements. Here are my results for my starting and now measurements:

That's 9.5 inches all over lost!! So motivating!!!

Day 13

I've been slacking for a few days and have missed 2 days . I normally would exercise Monday-Friday but this week I made it to Monday & Tuesday and didn't go Wed. or Thursday. I did, however, went yesterday evening (Fri) and this morning (Sat). Wednesday was not a good day for me. I don't know if it was the weather or because I just felt so exhausted. I think I needed a little break....I did notice that when I put one day off, it was really easy for me to take another one off. I was starting to feel sluggish and I quickly picked myself up!

 I kept myself busy today, as well. Started my morning workout early then off to yard sales. Went to a couple yard sales that involved a lot of walking which I did enjoy!
