Sigh....

Well, I don't know what to think. My weigh in was terrible. I'm beginning to think there is something wrong with me. Last week was a good week. It wasn't perfect but it was good. I am upset, discouraged and disappointed. Not to the point of giving up. I'm just upset. Oh well. Moving on...

So this week I've added exercising back in to the routine. I'm starting off slow. I'll do a couple of weeks of 45 min workouts then bump it back up to 1 1/2 hours. I'm extra tired from the past month and I need to listen to my body and not push it like I want to. Last weeks massage was terrible but I think I am going to book another one this week. They really are important for good health. I know you probably think I'm crazy but after going to massage school I know from experience how good they are for your health. I'll probably book another next week to and then just book them twice a month after that unless financially I am able to do it more.

Pictures are hard to do. I'll try and get one posted soon.

Feeling Better

I've been having some pretty bad back pain for over a year now. It all started with jury duty. Two and half weeks of an extremely emotional trial and sitting in those aweful chairs for 8-10 hours a day will do it. By far one of the worst experiences of my life. I think I have a pretty high pain tolerance so I have been able to put up with it this long without doing something about it.

Last Thursday on a whim I decided to get a massage. I finally had enough. So I booked and 1 1/2 hour massage with a moist heat pack. It was heaven. It put me in a mood for a couple of days. I was exhausted from the previous weeks, wasn't feeling good and I was sore from having my muscles worked out. Regardless of all that, I hadn't felt that relaxed in a long time and my body felt good.

I am going for another one today. I really need to get my body functing again. I think after I am done (if I'm not too relaxed I am going to go to the gym and stretch and then sit in the sauna and hot tub. This should help with the toxin release and help my muscles loosen up even more. I am considering doing this once a week for a couple more weeks and then try to make it a priority to get it done once a month after that. Even though she made good progress on my back last week there is still much more work to be done.

With my back feeling better it is giving me a better focus for staying the course. It's giving me some renewed energy.

That's more like it

I weighed in today and I lost 3 pounds in 5 days! I am proud of myself. I was able to do that while not being in control of my environments. I've had an unually busy week. My eating habits have consisted of Chickfila at least once if not twice a day. This week will be crazy too. We will see how I do next week.

Weigh-In Sucks

So I weighed in and I did a lot worse than I thought. The past few weeks have been tough on me and the diet. Between PMSing and going back and forth between the hospital and San Antonio and Dallas my diet has majorly suffered. I have done nothing but eat out and eat really late for the past 2 weeks. So needless to say I am up 3.8 pounds! I can hardly believe it. I thought maybe a pound or two but not nearly four.

I'm not depressed or discouraged but I'm actually pretty pissed. I also think I am just going to keep the weigh-ins on Monday's. I really did not like the mid week weigh-in. Pictures hopefully coming soon. The week has been crazy and I haven't had much contact with people who can take the picture for me.

Changing the Plan A Bit

Well, I said that i was going to weigh in and take pictures on Monday's but I think I am going to change that. It's too much for me to go into San Antonio to weigh in after just being in town to work out. There is a place here in Bulverde that I can go weigh in at. The meetings are at 10 on Wednesday mornings. So I am going to give this a try for a couple of weeks to see if I like it. So look for updates tomorrow. I really like the Monday weigh in and I think I am going to miss them. It helps keep me accountable over the weekend.

MIA

So I started this blog and then I went MIA. Sorry. My cousins little girl was in the hospital and i took a little trip to Dallas for a little more than a week. I went off the diet. Between running back and forth to the hosiptal and taking the boys out you could just say that I went off my diet for the week. I tried hard at first but then with all the caos it just happened. I am back home now with the boys and I am struggling to find the time to get to the grocery store. I'm watching what I eat but not really doing what I need to do. Hopefully by this weekend I will be back on track.

My friend Jennifer made a really good observation about me. It's something that I've thought about before and taken notice to but there is something about when someone else tells you... She noticed that everytime I get really serious about a diet, jumping to someones aid is soon to follow. I know that I don't jump to someones aid to avoid dieting. I actually enjoy dieting once I get into it but I think its satan using a really big strength of mine to get me off track. Do you have any thoughts on this? If you do I would love to hear what you have to say.
