This blog was started as a journey in my training for a 60 mile walk in memory of my Mom! This blog continues on in my attempt to change my lifestyle & addiction to food through weight loss, diet, and exercise.....ONE STEP AT A TIME!

I have got to get serious, NOW!

I know....I haven't walked any in the past couple of days.  It is hard with two small kids.  I feel guilty being away from them after working all day.  I can't use that as an excuse because one of my teammates has two young kids and she is walking way more than I am.  Once school is out on Tuesday, it will get easier.  I will be working at the Y on M, W, and F.  I want to keep the girls home from daycare on T and Th.  I have to pay for daycare even if they don't go to hold their spot.  I also don't want them to totally get out of their routine because it would be hard to start back up in Aug.  Lillie is a routine person!  Anyway.....

I said in an earlier post (or at least I think I did...if not....here it is) that myself and two other teachers are meeting with a personal trainer from the Y.  She is kicking our butt!  We meet with her on M and Th.  When we left Thursday, she asked us to write down everything that we put into our mouth.  I have to say I started out really well but I didn't end up that well.  See, when I get angry or have any stress, I eat!  Well let's just say that she doesn't want to see what all I ate.  So, I am saying it now....I will be writing everything that I eat on a daily post here.  That way it will be real and hopefully more than just myself will see it.  Whoever sees it can help me hold myself accountable for my actions.  I want to lose weight over the summer.  I would love to be under 200 pounds.  I haven't been under 200 pounds in a long time.  I don't care if people know what I weigh.  Maybe it will make me feel bad enough to lose the weight. 

Well, I guess I better go for now.  I will have a food entry tomorrow night for the first day....let's see how bad it is.

  1. You can do it! Hang in there!

    Yikes a food journal! Just be prepared for a shock. I did that way back and I was totally shocked by what all I was eating and how much! You really have no idea while you are doing it. I too am an emotional eater & have always struggled with my weight. The was a serious wakeup call! I changed my habits and did lose weight. I am having to do that again now. After having two girls in 3 years, my body is not where it needs to be. So hopefully, we can do this training and lose weight together!

    Walk Fat Girls Walk! LOL!!

  2. Oh and don't think about 200 pounds or what ever large amount you want to loose. It just gets frustrating. I just went through that a couple weeks ago. I've had to change my mindset for much smaller goals...like 2 pounds. This week I want to loose 2 pounds that's it, just 2. If I lose more that is wonderful but for now just 2.
