Holiday and a healthy lifestyle

Wow it's been a while since I blogged. I really need to find some balance in my life. I have so many things on the go and so little time to do them! Right now I am trying to finish off 2 quilts that I have been working on for years..and by years, I mean at least 3 years. See the problem is, I'm a prefectionist. If I start something and I don't think it's good enough, then I will put it down and not finish. I am finding this applies to many areas of my life, not just the crafts. Like implementing a healthy lifestyle. When I mess up, I usually say "f*ck it" and quit, well because if I don't get it right, then what's the point? But that's not the way to go. I know I just have to keep going and not worry about the mistakes and just keep plugging away.

So I've decided (once again) to give WW a go and really really try very hard to stay on-plan (OP) and when I eat something I shouldn't, I'm going to try really hard not to let it defeat me. The same goes for the gym and exercise. So if I miss a day due to "whatever", I have to remind myself that it's ok and just keep going. Gosh it's so hard NOT to beat myself up when I mess up...ug.

I was ready a blog today by someone who goes by a "Prior Fat Girl" and she is approaching her 2 year mark and 100 pounds lost. Gosh I want that to be me in 2 years from now. I need to lost abou 70 pounds but at my age, it will likely take 2 years to get there...but that's ok. That will give me another 40 years of being healthy to enjoy life, right? And of course I will be enjoying life all the while.....go me!!!!!

My Numbers

doen 2.5 pounds this week for a total loss of 11.5 pounds!

Thirsty Thursday and Winning

I have discovered I am inherently lazy. I would much rather sit around at night watching tv or maybe sitting outside in the sun, reading a good book and sipping a cold beverage. But alas, that is how my ass got in the rounded shape that it is now, and no amount of sitting around and drinking cold beverages is going to make it smaller. So off to the gym I go, or walk the dog, or garden...something, anything to get the blood going. Tonight I have yoga and that always makes me sweat, so that will be my workout for today.

I stepped on the scale this morning and I was down 2.5 pounds. Hard to believe after only 4 days but I've been bang on with my points and have exercised every day so far this work. So the program does work if you work it. I still have a few pounds to go to get back to the 10 pounds I had lost in April. If I can continue to lose 10 pounds a month, I think I'll be more than happy with that. MORE THAN HAPPY! that means I might reach my goal by the end of the year....if...big IF...I dont fall off the wagon again, and knowing me..that will happen at some point.

But it's ok..because I ALWAYS GET BACK ON THE HORSE! This time I got back in about 6 weeks or so....there have been times in the past were it has taken me months and months to get my head screwed on straight but I'm like a timex watch, takes a lickin' and keeps in tickin.

I just wish I knew why I get derailed in the first place. Am I scared of succeeding? Am I scared of being slim and healthy and sexy? Am I just plain scared of life? If only I had a Magic 8 Ball that could tell me! Damnit!

Leg Day at the gym

I love leg days...makes me feel so strong...not like arm days...my puny little arms cant push much weight but my legs sure can!

Starting over...or rather gaining momentum again

Ya..I feel off the WW wagon....for a few months. Lost about 1/2 the progross I had made..but that's ok. I'm back again...and it's only failure if I completely give up. And I never do that!
