Yep, I lost even less. I did yoga 3 times this week and was active indoors, and I lost less. I believe its because yesterday I broke down and had Taco Bell for lunch yesterday. last week I started stepping on the scale every day. So I know yesterday I was 257.2, today I'm 259. I was mad and sad and this makes me not want fast food anymore. That is the positive I'm taking away from this. 

The ice and snow made it easy to get away with not jogging and not working out as hard. But this week I'm jogging in the hall if I need to. I will keep the yoga, but not as a real workout. Yoga is a small workout but I need to bust my butt a little more than this. 

Next week is the first week of the new month, so I will be doing a Feb. evaluation. I want to feel like I want to look back and feel good, I fear I will not. Here is to Hope.

First off, I am sorry I have not posted my Goal Update, I will do so today. Yesterday was Valentines Day and I had other things on my mind than writing. I am marking my agenda so as to not miss it next week. 

Now than.

I feel I have lost all of the easy weight I had (water shed mostly). Now I need to really work at this. I only did 2 workouts this week. I did one on the day I was having a hard time, and I worked hard for an hour. Today I jogged back and forth in my garage for a solid 45 min. I have no idea how far that is, so I am just counting it as prep. So this week I am not letting myself make up reasons to not workout in some way. I have Yoga, walking and jogging, and weights (I found my 1lb set and my 5lb set), and the internet is full of free workout videos I can cast to my TV. I WILL workout EVERY DAY. There is no reason not to. I like it, I feel better, I'm getting better fast, so its just my lazy ways that are stopping me. I can not be fit and lazy, my husband my get away with it but he had years in the armed forces to teach his body to stay lean and mean.  

As for my eating, this was a week of love, so there was a date night with Sushi with way less rice. I did eat some Sugar Free chocolate yesterday. I need to find some new fast veggies, and I need to break down and get some fat free ranch and other healthy dressings for my salads. Also I will get some sugar free creamer, so I can stop using the normal stuff. These things may only count for a few calories a day each, but if I have more than 1 coffee, or a salad with lunch and dinner, it adds up. I do now have alarms set on my phone for each meal and snack. This is not only to remind me to eat at snack time, but to keep me from eating when I don't need to. I'm taking control of my hunger and learning about Internal Hunger vs. External Hunger. 

I got some gum to help with the need to chew and for the sweet tooth attacks. I also got stuff to add to my water, I didn't really like it. I like water, Ice Cold Water. mmmmmm

I will also add a Goal Update every Saturday evening regarding the 4 main goals. I will also work on organizing this blog now that I am posting so often about so may things. I will keep it all here, for me and for you. 

mini update 2-6-15

I don't normally agree with weighing myself so many times in a week. but its for record keeping. I'm just going to list dates, weights, notes, and move on. Today is day one, I will be doing full weigh in updates starting Sundays. what will mean I weighed myself 3 times this week. but it will only be one time a week after this week.

• 1-23-15       272 lbs
  I realized how close I am to 300 lbs and I put my foot down. I picked up the fast 5 from Sam's Club and made an agreement with my hubby.
• 1-26          271.4 lbs
  Start day for Fast 5.
• 2-2          263.0 lbs
  I finished the Fast 5 and my hubby and I did a pro/con of joining Nutrisystem. I place my order.
• 2-6        262.2 lbs
  I start my program.

Big Box

Today my box of Shelf Stable foods got here. I filmed an unboxing but it is really not the best but it is my first time. I had a friend help out, and I also got a few text messages while we were doing it. In short, don't judge me :3 But it is also an honest look at me, as I am, before I start.

First off, the Order comes with another Fast 5, and I had said I would do that again in 3 weeks. I will not be doing that. I decided to go ahead and open it, and just add the 7 days of meals to the meals I have I will not have the 7 snacks, but I get 7 of each of the shakes, so that is a pay off in my book. I didn't record the unboxing of that because I though it would just be more of the same. But the foods Were diffident. I do have pics of the foods and where they are set up for you. In the end, I have 25 each of Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinners that are Shelf Stable. Plus 18 Snacks, and 7 of each shake. Frozen Food Still to come.

So the F5 actually had 3 Muffins! It also had more bars, so I now have a total of 13 meal bars for breakfast. Of 25, 13 are bars. Even if I like then, that is a lot of meal bars. So I will change that up. I'm adding donuts and muffins and yummy things to the Next month.

yep, 10 meal bars there. I'm stuck on them because there are so many. that too will change next month. But there are a few things I know I like, and a few that I feel may be not to my liking. I am giving them a go no mater what. Online there is a score I can give each food, 1 to 5 stars. I will be keeping track. 

Ok, so dinners are looking good. the Joke here is I worked at a Domino's before this, and now Pizza is not a treat at all. and I have 5 so far. But I also have a lot of good looking things to try for the first time. Its a good round selection too. So far I'm feeling good about this. 

The only thins missing is the popcorn, it was off to the side and I didn't see it until I was putting it all away. But its a good mix of sweet and salty. There were none in the F5, so the numbers will not match, That just means I will skip a nigh snack from time to time. no big deal,

The shakes are the same ones as in the F5 I did before. I looked them up and they are not cheap, so I count this as a bonus. At first I didn't like the ZING shake, but after a few days it was good.

This is how I am going to store and organize my dry goods. The breakfast and snacks stack right now, and if next month that changes I can change how I do it. With less bars I may need both shelves for stored food and move the weeks planned meals into the kitchen.

Right now the plan is to bind the 3 mean meals for each day and store them in the 3 clear bins, and I can choose the snack that fits my mood. 

So I Start first thing in the Morning. I will update in weight (I know it went up... ) and I am planning on filming the first taste of each food. I have a plan in mind as to how to do that. Until tomorrow!

Here were go again

I'm 30 yrs old and 271.4 lbs female just beginning weight loss journey. I have 100 lbs to loss minimum. My End goal is to weigh 145 lbs again, but my first goal is to loss that first 5 lbs. I'm starting the Nutrisystem Fast 5[1] today, I got my 7 day meal kit [2] at Sam's Club. I did some looking into it and Nutrisystem have a mixed audience as far as I can tell. The people that stick to it 100% do well bet give up a lot. While the people that mix in there home cooked meals and snacks stop gaining, but don't loss a lot and are upset.

Going into this I know its going to be hard, and its not over night, but I want to live a good life, and see my kids grow up, I want to stop feeling like everyone is looking at me and seeing the fat chick and making judgement while I'm playing with my 1 1/2 yr old. Last week a little kid told me I was too big to play at the park, and I wanted to leave, go home, hide, cry, and yell about how mean the world is. But I told her "I promise not to brake anything" and I kept playing with my boy.

My problem is I'v been "working on losing weight" for 8 years, and I GAINED 60 lbs! My husband is thin as a rail no mater what he eats, with a 6 pack to boot without ever working out, AT 32!! Jerk better have passed that to our son. :p Anyhow, I feel alone. I don't know very many people in Nashville (I'm not from here), so I get discouraged easily.

Does anyone have any tips for when I'm ready to give up and eat my feelings?

mini posts ok?

Again, my charts show i need to eat more... that will forever tick me off. tell me i'm fat because i eat too little... bull crap. but ok, i will add more good food to my meals, toss in a V-8 or 3. Also I'll fight my emotions and suck it up. Turn on some music, and move on. anyone have a favored workout song list?

also, are the short burst posts like this ok? With Zed, I don't feel like i can just sit and write out everything in one go. so pounding it out in mini form may end up being what i do. kinda like long facebook posts, but not... i don't really feel like that is the place for this. also i can come here are all my weight loss stuff is just here, no game crap or other posts to weed out to find what i am looking for. sound good?

also, i have been working out more, and now i just want to sleep more. is that going to be the thing now? before i did that, but it turns out i was also making a baby, so idk if this is just another thing. lol

o, also i found where my hidden calories were, i eat a LOT of nuts and peanut butter, any reason for craving nuts? or is that for the milk?

The sad thing is I gained back some of the weight I had lost before. I gained 11 lbs! not a lot, but when your trying to lose weight it sucks to lose it more than once. So today (2*26*14) marks my fresh start. 

Mini goal: lose said 11 lbs! 

As a side not I'm still breastfeeding my son and the cravings are hard core. So if anyone out there has any tips to help out I'd love to read them! 

New Start Weight: 247 lbs

New End Goal: 160 lbs or less

I'll post more later when I can find time.


Thanks Everyone!

I’m moving right along. I had a full week last week but here is where I’m at. I had no change last week and it pissed me off to no end. I’ve been walking more, I just didn’t log it… sorry.  I’m going to “back-log” today.

So I realized that my miles update on here anyway so no need to repeat. I really need to find my motivation. I lost over 2lbs this week so I should be happy, but I don’t feel too happy. I hate this season…  my head hurts and I need coffee. I’m going to go play minecraft… sorry everyone. I failed to post.  I did change my calorie needs to 1310 – 1660 per day.  So I should keep losing. I’ll keep it up.  The down feeling should go away soon, about the same time as the headaches thin down too. Funny how my mood changes everything.

I’m sorry I’m late. I’ve been fighting with seasonal depression, add that to not knowing anyone in town, hiding from the rodeo that worked it's way into a nightmare last night, and toss in that time of the month (sorry to the men) and you have someone that feels very down. I have lost 1.8 lbs even with it being “shark week” (as I call it), so I should be happy. I’m almost out of the 240’s so that should be helping. I’ve lost 22+ lbs, and yes my clothes do fit better. But I still feel fat. When I take a bath I add bubbles to hide my fat. Know there is 20+ lbs less, but there is still 90+ lbs extra that I, and others, see.

When I was at PAX I stood in line for myself and others, kinda like a “gofer”, for food and coffee and other things. and when I would walk away with the stuff for 3 people I would get looks. That look that screams “you pig, going to go fatten up some more?” and they did nothing to hide it. Why should they? I leave the coffee shop with my coffee, and Shaun’s coffee (the same thing), and come back for a 3^rd for a friend (still the same). Some of the same people were there and one looked at me and said “jesus…” just that.

The thing is at the time I didn’t really care too much. But now that my mood is dark all the little things are trying to suffocate me. Yes Shaun is a loving husband but there is not a lot he can do. as I said, I have seasonal depression, and I live in Oregon. But yesterday I made my mind up. I may have seasonal depression, but seasonal depression does not have to have me. I don’t have to let it take over. I have a very dark and sad past that makes for the dreams that make you not want to sleep. But I dealt with all that. I don’t need to deal with it every fall. So I need to focus, change my thoughts, and keep my brain busy.

Shaun has been getting on to me for not writhing more, and I stopped logging food, and walking. I’m eating better, but that’s it. We had a talk, by that I mean he told me what was what and I said nothing because he is totally right and I needed to hear it. So I need to get back into my lists, logs, and walk daily. So the next week will be full of my thoughts, feeling, and random stuff. Next week’s weigh-in will have my miles for the week and my total. I said I was going to walk it off, and Shaun got me the tools to do it. I can’t just stop walking. So I’m moving that up in my day on my list of things to do. Coffee and a bite to eat, then walk. Everything else can be done after that. And no youtube walks, or tv type stuff for the first week. Music only! I love to walk to music, so I’ll walk to music.  

So I’ll stop here. There will be more to come this week. So I’ll talk at you latter. 

Week 11 full Weigh-in

WEIGH-IN:

Start weight:                     265.0 lb

Weight change:                 Lost 20.4 lbs

Current weight:                 244.6 lbs

BMI Status:                      Obese

The week’s change:

-1 lbs

Goal weight:                   145.0 lb

% Goal Complete:          17%

% Time Complete:          8.8%

MEASUREMENTS:

Waist                     45.5 in

Hips                       49.5 in

Thigh                     25.5 in

Upper Arm            14 in

Calf                         16.5 in

So here’s the scoop. According to Spark I have lost inches in all but 2 areas, my arms are the same, and my calf is 1.5 in bigger. What the hell? It’s b/c I’m not walking every day. Right? Fine I’ll stop being lazy. Geez I suck. Lol but I lost my goal pound for this week. I go shopping today so that means a lot of walking. I think the problem I’m having is that I love to walk with music. And I have not done that with my treadmill. I take my laptop and set it up with youtube or Netflix. So I’m going to go back to music and see if that gets me into the groove.

I also didn’t log my food this week, I don’t know why. I have had a very off week this last week. It’s like I came back from PAX and said “F@%& it” to my normal way of doing things. That means today I need to do a lot to get back on that ball. I have so many dishes to wash, and other cleaning things. lists to make, and games to NOT play. That’s my problem, I play my games all day and run out of time. So clean first, game after. Lol so game in a few days. Lol I feel silly. I should go start all that stuff now. TTFN!

Week 10 Weigh-in

Week 10 WEIGH-IN:

Start weight:                     265.0 lb

Days left:                          741

So I was going to do a “full weigh-in” (weight & measurements) but I just got back from travil and my body is all puffy. So I don’t think it’s a good idea to measure a puffy body, but next Monday I will do the full thing. I also gained 0.4 lb, but that’s great when you think about it. I was at PAX, I was not eating like I should have been. There was some fast food, and drinking, and salty fried stuffs. Not at lot, but some. And yes my body is all puffed up with water and in some pain. I have no idea how many miles I walked each day, but it was a lot.

Last night I told Shaun that I knew I had gained something like 2 lbs over the weekend. I just knew it. There was no way I for me to have Starbucks cookie crumble for breakfast, and cheese pizza for dinner, with nothing in the afternoon, and no have my body just freak out on me. I drank water like a fish and almost never had to pee. So I know I’m holding some water. But that’s fine, this week I will be fixing all of that! I’m just happy I only gained less than half a pound.

Any hoo I’m going to go dig up some food. Drink a lot of water. That kind of stuff. We will see how the week fairs. 

Week 9 Weigh-in

WEIGH-IN:

Start weight:                     265.0 lb

Weight change:                 Lost 19.4 lbs

Current weight:                 245.6 lbs

BMI Status:                      Obese

The week’s change:

-3.2lbs

Goal weight:                   145.0 lb

% Goal Complete:          16.2%

% Time Complete:          6.9%

Days left:                        750

The Last time I remember weighing in at about this weight was the week I was sick and could not eat anything for 3 days, I was also going to water workouts 3-5 times a week before that. So that means a few things to me. I really am doing this right. I know it seems like I find that out every week but it feels that way still. And the other thing is that I'm doing this without feeling like I’m getting my but kicked. No I didn’t make my 11 mile goal, but I’m ok with that and I will keep trying this week. I’ve had a lot going on and I’m not having the same amount of time to myself as I normally have. So I’m doing what I can when I can. That and I don’t know how to log what I am doing.

You see a friend moved in a bit of a rush for a new job. And I’m cleaning their house now. But how do I log “mopped for 3 hours”? I know I got one hell of a workout. I could feel it in all of my body. And that was just the mopping, there is a lot to cleaning in a house this big to get it ready to hand over the keys. So that is taking up some time.

O and I would have posted more last week but our internet was down and I kinda forgot I could use my phone until just now. Oops. But no really we had a bit of an information blackout here for a few days. And when it all came back up for some reason my computer didn’t want to let me do anything. So for 2 days I thought it was just the net, then I had to do a load of crap to get it working again yesterday. So, woot I’m back! I know I’m silly but I need my internet fix man, I need to tap into my youtube. Lol

Any hoo I lost 3.2 lbs this last week. That’s 19.4 lbs in 2 months! Now I’m stepping into week 9 and I think I’m starting to get the hang of this. Now that I’m all hooked up to my net again I’ll keep using SparkPeople.com to track everything, and DailyMile.com for my miles walked tracker. I like seeing what I eat and do, it makes me think about it more that if I was just eating.

So to wrap things up, I am doing will. I have a house to finish plus my normal stuff. I’m still eating good and loving it. And I lost over 3 lbs in a week. I’m very happy about things right now. I feel good! Soon I will be able to see it more. I’m going to be so happy when I NEED new clothes because these ones will be falling off. It’s not too far off, but we will see. That will be a big day and I will make a big deal out of it. I know Shaun it already thinking about it, we were talking about it the other day. I am so very thankful to have him by my side.

Ok got to go. Ttfn!

Week 8 Weigh-in

       First off I’m sorry its been a while from my last real post. I have not fallen off the wagon, I just fell in love with tekkit (a mod pack for minecraft). I have slowed on the walking, I can see that. But that is stopping this week. There is no reason not to pass my 10 mile a week marker when I have a treadmill in my face. So there you go. That is my goal this week, along with sticking with heathy eating and tracking my foods, walk 11 miles or more before next Monday.

WEIGH-IN:

Start weight:                     265.0 lb

       Today is the start of week 8 for me, and I’m not only still with it, I’m still losing weight every week, about 2 lbs a week. That’s not a lot, but at the same time it stacks up. So I’m very happy with this trend and I will not kill it by trying to push it more. It I start pushing for 3 lbs a week I may fail and make it harder than it needs to be. Right now it’s not hard at all, I have started to just live this way. It’s nice, and having Shaun’s help and encouragement makes all the difference. I don’t know what I would do without him. Add to that the encouragement of all of you, my friends and workout buddies, it’s no wonder it’s so easy to stick with this. Thank you everyone, I’ve lived the “fat life” for so long that I had started to think that I would never be anything but a fat chick. I may still be a fat chick for now, but I’m well on my way to chubby. Lol one step at a time, right? I’m feeling good today, and I hope you are too!

Here's What's New

This may sound bad but today was the first day I didn’t need to hold my tummy back with my hands to read the scale! The treadmill is a big help. I can set my laptop up there and watch YouTube videos while I walk, or have my favorite music blasting at me. I tried playing minecraft while walking, but when I walk try to walk left or right in the game my body would try to do the same. So I need to train my brain a bit so that will work.

Watermelon is like my favorite snack now, I can eat tons (2 cups) and it’s less than 100 calories. I don’t know about you, but for me 2 cups fills me way up, Shaun eats my last few bites most times. And the watermelon we got at the farmers market is so sweet and yummy, ¼ of it is enough to both of us. I eat so many fruits and veggies now, it’s nuts. I totally get it now, the fruits and veggies fill me up and I don’t fill up on junk, fat, and carbs.

We even when out to eat one time this weekend, taco bell. I ordered the new burrito that they say you’ll love it or they replace it. Well they replaced it. It didn’t have any taste to me, it was just a wet burrito. So I got a crunch wrap, and I couldn’t eat it all. That means my stomach is smaller. That’s a good thing. Now normally I go the thing with the most meat and cheese, I didn’t like the crunch wrap b/c it had so much “green crap” on it. But this time it was the first thing I wanted. And it was so good, and I’m not craving it anymore. So that’s another good thing

O and this SparkPeople.com site is great. I’m totally a mini quest girl, and I love points, and that is what this site is all about. I love it! If anyone wants to join me let me know. My user name is JBrasington on that site. I know, not very creative but it’s me and I’m very proud of my new last name. Feel free to share any sites or tools you have found with me. I’m thinking about writing a mini blog about each one I know about and have tried. That way others can pick the one that would work best for them. I know that finding the program that works for you is important. I think I may have found mine.  Only time will tell.

I walked 10 miles last week, and I did walk 5 days, but not the min 2 miles. But I did have a 4 mile day, so that’s good. This week I will try for 10 miles or more. I would like to pass the 10 mile mark. I have hit that mark more than ones.

I will keep up the new way of eating, I have a few days left on my 14 day plan, and I will keep it up after. I did check out the south beach diet book, it has cooking ideas in it too. I haven’t pulled up the old menus yet. SparkPeole has a menu plan too that makes a shopping list. The only problem I’ve had so far is that we’ve spent almost $300 on food for 2 weeks. That’s a lot. Veggies and fruits are not good after long. so I have to get them weekly, and I forgot some things when we went shopping because I was flustered at have an overflowing shopping cart. And yes we still have food, but we are out of a few things that make the meal. so I need to play with things so that I can use what we have.

Also I got my gummy vitamins today. So I think that will help not only with my health, but with stopping food cravings. I also got a blood glucose tester for not that much. So not I can test when I feel that panic shaky feeling, and know if I need to eat or what, I stopped drinking coffee b/c I get shaky and it feels kinda like that start of low blood sugar.

But the really really big thing, Shaun when ahead and got me the dishwasher! I love him so much. So now that’s less time standing, more time walking. O man lets not play down the treadmill. That is going to make this  for me. so unless I’m sick, there is no reason not to walk. Rain, snow, 120 degree heat, hail, none of that can stop me now. Just my head hurting… but I think that will start to be less. It will never go away all the way, but as my health gets better I think I will have more pain free days.

As for my walk a mile test the results are mixed. So I will try 3 tests, on 3 days, and give the average and I’m not fit enough for the step test. I can’t take my heart rate myself b/c its too fast. But this week I will keep up on the push-ups and crunches too, 

Good night for now.
