So this isn't a New Year's resolution....this is a New Year Holy Shit how did I get this big again thing!!!! It's official...I'm just under 7 lbs from my highest weight ever!!!!!! I stepped on the scale this morning and uttered the words "HOLY SHIT". Our batteries dies in our scale and we bought new ones last week...it was a surprise but after an evening of entertaining and eating like a pig (you know the last hurrah) my scale reflected my lack of continuing my weight loss. Yes I fell off the wagon and in style at that!!! I went from working so hard to finally get to Onederland and back to 213.2!!! Can I say it again...wait let's try something new WTF!!! (any Modern Family fans...why the face LOL). So I have some new resolve. I know I'm not perfect and I will mess up but I need to lose weight. For my and for my family. I was putting off working out for a while because I was getting chest pains...but at my last physical my doctor said I'm as healthy as a horse...she didn't even bring up my weight until I did...but my heart is perfect (just muscle strain...many women get when they gain weight in the breast tissue (only good thing to weight gain in my books LOL)). So I have the go ahead to exerciise and it just comes down to me! I have to take it easy at first as I pulled a muscle in my hip the other week...but doc said start with whatever I can...even 12 minutes walking is better than nothing as she put it...and eventually I will crave more...which we all know is true. Kevin and I have both gained weight since July when let's be honest we just plain old stopped trying. But I'm sick of being tired all the time...and for vanity I just plain old hate being fat. So yet again...here is the plan:
1. we are discussing our weight loss system (weight watchers, going alone, etc).
2. empty the house of junk food (chips, candy, etc)...replaced with fruit and popcorn :)
3. drink a ton of water
4. exercise reintroduced to be up'd as time goes on
5. YOGA twice a week at least
6. weigh in ONCE a week...it's proven to work against you to look at the scale every day...you get complacent and think I can have that today because it's only day 2 and I'm down already...when you could be down sooo much more if you just don't step on the scale until weigh in day.
7. love myself mentally...this is the hardest part of weightloss for anyone that has been overweight for a long time. I will love me for me at this weight as I am...I will look in the mirror each morning and find something I love about myself. Finding negative about yourself will only feed the fat.
So that's it...I'm back on here and please just bear with me as I stumble through starting all over again.
Hope my girls are hovering on the blog...I'd love to hear how you are doing.
Today we will decide on our system...and I will empty the cupboards. Sadly the stores are closed today so the stocking up of good stuff will have to start tomorrow as will my official first weigh in.

Hey Pam. Nice to see you back here. I hate this old computer and my ipod touch gives me so much trouble trying to get on, and its so small...happily I get my laptop tmrw, so that will be more computer freedom for me and less frutration.
ReplyDeleteListen, don't feel bad about starting over. Its the starting period that counts.
Proud of you. You CAN and WILL do this. The good thing about starting over is that you know you can do it. So concentrate on that fact, ok.
I WILL be here to support you guys. I have 50 to lose still myself, so we're still all in this together.
XOXOX
