Well, my official weigh-in was 157.2lbs. I'm down 0.8lbs. Losing weight around here is a slow go because I keep sabotaging myself. And watching how it affects my calorie deficits (one or two bad days a week) its clear to see why for years I didn't lose anything. All those times I dieted and binged and never really lost and used to get so mad because at least I was doing good part of the time...I'm grateful that I did good some of the time or I would have been a much heavier person. And as we've all figured out, its not usually a one day occurrence. My binges seem to last a couple of days at the least. But thankfully I went to the gym several times last week and that allowed me to still lose what I did.
At least I'm still losing weight. And that's the bottom line.
I've been really frustrated and angry about the house selling situation lately, and it causes me to throw up my hands and not care about my diet. My dream house, the one that was actually obtainable, sold before we could sell ours. Again. And I'm having a hard time keeping my self reeled in with the disappointment. I know that things like that are more exaggerated than they should be, but I have such little tolerance for disappointment anymore. And frankly I am so DONE with living in this house and I just want to get out and move on with our lives.
Its March. Thank GOD!! There is still snow on the ground, and I know there have been many years where it snowed here in mid to late April, but I feel desperate for summer to arrive. I miss my walks. I miss the quiet and serenity. I miss my audio books. I'm just so not a gym girl. I love boxing, but that's about it. I'd so much rather be walking, especially since I enjoy it, and I swear I burn the same calories.
Anyhow, I'm just feeling blah today. For the past several days, I guess. I really want a soda (and a little vodka). I've been staying up way too late, but this morning I slept in (thanks to Sesame Street!!). I'm not feeling refreshed though. I'm feeling sore and groggy and like doo-doo. I need to do laundry (every blasted week!!) and I need to go to the grocery store. Lent starts on Wednesday, and I'm hoping it very much alters the way we eat around here for the next 6 weeks....
I had a lot more of a post written, but to add to my mood Blogger decided to puke and I lost it all. And frankly now I'm in too bad of a mood to rewrite it. Its probably better that way.
Thanks a lot Blogger!

Congrats on your weight loss! It might not be how much you hoped, but a loss is a loss in my book. I, too, lost this week!
Hopefully, Lent will help with the struggle. It is funny how I can try to stay away from foods, but I always end up getting reeled back in...darn ice cream. During Lent though, Catholic guilt makes me stick to my guns. Keep the faith! I'm sure things will get better for you.
Good luck this week!

You're doing great! You've come so far! I've lost 18 pounds with the program I'm using through http://www.reallifeforhealth.com. Have you heard of them? Their system is really easy to use and it does everything. They have 1000's of different recipes to choose from and they help you build a fitness and nutrition plan that suits your goals. They even send you printable daily meal plans and menus, as well as printable daily or weekly grocery lists, which are broken down by the area of the grocery store or supermarket. All the recipes contain 12 ingredients or less, so they are easy enough for anyone to cook. I'm happy that there's no fad diets, pills, or required supplements. I'm really impressed with it, especially since they offer a free trial. If you try it, I hope it works as well for you as it has been for me.
On a completely different note – Have you tried Skechers Shape-Ups or Resistance Runners? Since Christmas I've been running for 30 minutes a day using the Resistance Runners. I think they're really great. But I was wondering what other people think about them.
Never give up!!
This is really good news that you have lost some weight. I want to wish congratulation. I hope you enjoying these moments.
Well, I think it is good that you are losing weight somehow. though, you have to be aware of the foods that you are eating. Good Luck!
