My Stats: Week Five

Weight: 229
No loss, no gain

This isn't so bad because I have not exercised any this week, I have eaten a lot compared with my usual diet this weekend because of company in town, and I've enjoyed the feeling of being bloated and extra cranky due to the other monthly visitor girls are so fortunate to have. (sorry if it's tmi...but this is my health journal!) I actually canceled my membership to the Y this week. I didn't want to do it, but I am just too tired to go in the afternoons and I prefer to come home and visit with Maddie and Eddie before they leave for the day. Gyms have never been a favorite place of mine and so I thought I could make use of that $46/month fee for something else.

I'm going to go back to waking early in the morning (4:55 a.m.) and walking at my house (on my driveway...it's long!). Early morning is the best time for me to get in exercise, before I'm exhausted by the days demands! Also, for me anything I can do at home I am actually more likely to do. I loved the Y once I got there, but it's the getting there that was a problem.

So a new week, a new plan, a new goal!

My Stats: Week Four

Weight: 229
-2 pounds
It's a loss, I'll take it! However, I hope this gain/loose cycle stops b/c I'm getting nowhere!

My Stats: Week Three

Weight: 231
+3 pounds

This was hard to post...not sure what was happening except that I did record yesterday about my food intake. I also went to the county fair yesterday (after I posted) and consumed a lot of fair food! I'm sure that didn't help the weigh in this morning. I'm hitting it strong today, so next week I can post a loss.

Out of Curiosity I wanted to know how many calories I actually consumed at the fair:
1/2 Funnel Cake = 400
Roasted Corn on the Cob dipped in butter = 300
Lemonade = 210
1/2 Orange Julius = 250
1/2 Chocolate Dipped Cone = 400
Small Corn Dog = 250

Total: 1,810

My Stats: Week Two

Weight: 227.5

-2.5 pounds
This is really surprising to me, because I didn't/don't feel like I've lost weight this week. I've eaten out a lot and haven't watched the food intake as much as I need to. I walked 4 mornings this week (M-Th. only)

So this coming week I really want to do some things more carefully. First, I am walking/exercising everyday...I feel like I have to. Secondly, I want to watch my food more carefully by counting calories and eating out less. I'm reading some books and compiling more information that I find interesting. I'll post my new finds later. Today was the first day of school and I'm exhausted!
