How's your week going?

I was determined to be good this week. (Wait, you say that today is only Monday? Okay, I guess what I mean is since LAST Monday. I have no idea what that says about time as far as I'm concerned. Does that mean the days are going very slow and blending together?)

Let me start over... Last week I tried to be good. I counted my calories and drank my water. But, I didn't get off the couch, and each day I failed once. One day it was when I ate one little piece of cheese. That turned into a lot of cheese. lol... One day it was stress led to me (after having a really good day) eating cookies. But, I did drop 3lbs last week. All water weight I am pretty sure (because I retain water in my one leg anytime I even look at something high in sodium. It sucks. Because I am a potato chip girl through and through.) But it's still loss!

This weekend I just ate what I wanted (which is my weekend motto). Today I started off positive. But, by lunch (which ended up being later than normal, so I was REALLY hungry, and pretty sure that was the problem, but I couldn't control that) instead of eating well, I ate a slice of leftover pizza. Oh well... (and pretty sure that has at least half my days worth of calories in it, if not more) Tomorrow is another day!

And that's how it's going. Day to day, meal to meal... But always trying to drink my water. 

Tomorrow I am going to try to get some steps in. Something I literally have not done since March (oh, that's hard to admit!) I am going to start slow, because the smallest activity exhausts me now (because I'm lazy/out of shape). I need to change that. I don't know what step count I am aiming for. If I go out to the store during the day, I can typically hit 2,500 steps (yeah, I am that sedentary now) So maybe I'll look for 2,500 while I'm just sitting at home. Once I hit that, I'll up it 500 steps. And continue on like that until I'm back to getting 4,000-5,000 steps daily. Then I really have to work on hitting 10,000. I mean, going to the gym that is a piece of cake. Staying home around the house, not so much!


So, this week:

DRINK MY WATER

Keep track of my calories

Start moving each day.

My nemisis

I am failing miserably at this diet thing... I just want to look better and feel better and be healthy. The pandemic did me in...I'm serious. Suddenly I was no longer alone in the house, which was nice, but it turned me from getting my steps in while watching tv, and trying a new on-demand exercise routine to sitting. Mr. G working in the other room has me more self conscious about doing any of those things that I used to. And yes, that's a ME problem. Then there was the community panic of "Stores are going to run out of food!" So we were buying anything we could find in anticipation for empty shelves. (Now we know the only shelves that went empty were toilet paper, paper towels, I'm hearing baby formula, and cat food. Then breakfast sandwiches-which was odd.) But I went from buying all fresh veggies and proteins to whatever I could find. I still don't eat frozen chicken nuggets or strips, and I do make frozen fresh chicken. BUT my eating habits went crazy. I ...

It's Time to be Awesome

Yesterday I started over (wait, have I said that before?) I watched my calories, and drank my shake for lunch (instead of eating something) and tried to get in my water. It was rough. When you get used to eating foods, and not so healthy foods, it is hard to not eat them. And you crave them. You mistakenly think you need them. And it sucks. And it's hard. But if you want it bad enough, you'll try. And I am. I am trying again today. I will take this one day at a time - no, one meal at a time. We (meaning my husband and I) ordered Fit Boards. Yep, we did. Yes, the ones you saw on Shark Tank. I'll let you know if they work. I got very used to snacking in the morning and the afternoon and the evening. Did you? This quarantine made me lazy. I look at the room and say "I should vacuum/dust" then I don't. And I keep thinking I am not going anywhere this summer, so what am I fighting for? Then I see people on tv like former WWE wre...

No Bueno

Well, this week's weigh in was a bust. I didn't lost anything. But I knew that would be the case, because my whole body felt weighed down, like I was full of fluid. So I can only think the numbers on the scale weren't accurate. I don't know why I felt so bloated all weekend? We've been eating a lot of bagels - maybe that's it. I tried to drink my water this week, and thought I was doing pretty well. All I can do is get back at it tomorrow. That's all you can ever do - keep at it! I was hoping to find something to replace water in the afternoon, something that would still hydrate me, but no luck yet. Water can be hard sometimes... What keeps me going is how far I've come. I realized since I started this journey in 2018, I've lost 2inches off my stomach, and 4 inches off my hips. It might be small, but it's something, and it has stayed off. Small victories, and time to keep at it for more results! I have a goal, and I am determined to...
