Pretty Good, but Could be Better

Today, I kept my caloric intake less than 1500 cals which for me is pretty good. My PT has me on about 1600/day so I came in good although my food choices were still a little poor. But I'm not beating myself up...I'm just glad I was able to stay within my allowance.

As some of you may know my PT has relocated out of state :-(
I'm currently not exercising as I should because its a lot more difficult to push myself the way having her pushed me. Having her check on my daily definitely kept me accountable. I can't afford anyone else to do what she did for her price so I joined the Discovery Health Challenge today...I figure maybe using Bally's for eight weeks free can be "new" enough to put me back on track.

I'm bringing sexy back! LOL

2008 is for new beginnings

Okay, so by the end of last year, I gained back 10 of the 20+ pounds that I had released. But I'm getting over that, slowly and surely. The encouragement from my fellow blogg-ettes has tremendously helped.

So, today, my eating was a little if-fy, but I did go get groceries so that tomorrow I will begin to get back on track. Another set back is that my personal trainer has moved to Atlanta, so I'm on my own in the gym. I really liked that she was there to make sure I was giving my all. Unfortunately, I'm a little intimated about finding someone new. I really loved her vibe and don't want to start all over :-(

But this is really just a test of my character (not my will). I am determined not to let this obesity thing get me. I was able to lose weight and lower my blood pressure not because I had fabulous will-power, but because I made a conscious decision to make a change for the better. I'm choosing that now again.

Happy New Year to all.

Peace, Love, & Light!

Back in da Groove

Okay, its been a minute, but I'm not completely giving up. Here's to new starts...

Tenacity

Okay, so the scale isn't going down, but the good news is it isn't going up either. I've been maintaining, and overall I'm beginning to feel a lot more healthy. I've stayed true to my water intake and my exercise regime is more consistent than not. I just left the track with my trainer and we did circuit training. A sista is tired, but still invigorated. Here's to one day at a time!

New Beginnings

Okay, I decided not to do the Atkins or Zone thing...I'm going to do this the healthy way. I've stepped up my cardio and am trying to be more honest with myself about my feelings with food. I'm truly releasing all the pain and frustration I've had with myself lately. Today is a brand new day.
Thanks for all of your support!

Trying Something New

Okay, I'm back on the bandwagon, but I'm still extremely disappointed by the creeping scale. Its my TOM so that may have something to do with it, but because of the kind of person I am, I need to see results soon or I'm going to end up letting this thing defeat me. Consequently I've decided to start the induction phase of Atkins tomorrow. My sincere hope is that (1) I can kick start some weight release and (2) I can release some of these cravings that keep affecting me.

As far as the exercise goes, all is well. I've been able to keep this and my water intake as successful new lifestyle habits.

I'll keep you all posted on the progress.

I'm Losing Focus

Okay, I thought I was ok with the scale not moving, but during this last week my eating has gotten progressively worse. Tonite I ate a whole order of Domino's Cinnastix and an order of Chicken Kickers. I even ordered a second order of Kickers in case I wasn't feeling full when I finished. I've disgusted myself. I really don't want to return to my old habits. I just felt soooo out of control today.

I don't want to give up, but there is a really big part of me that wants to just throw in the towel. I mean, hey its easier to eat what I want, avoid exercise, etc. Right? It's like my head knows better, but there's some kind of evil Tiffany inside that is sabotaging this journey.

I'm so stuffed feeling right now, and know I'm so angry with myself, I just don't know what to do. I really don't want these few lbs I've released to come back. Creator please help me now!!!
