Last time starting over....for real this time.

I started over again on August 1st...

So I am doing pretty good.  Last week I worked out everyday for at least 50 minutes.  I am trying to hit 1000 minutes a month of exercise. It is hard to do 50 minutes a day.  So I am banking my minutes.  On the days that I am feeling it...I go over the 50 minutes so that on the days I am hurting I don't have to go so long.  It worked well the first week.  I worked out 259 minutes.  That is 9 minutes over what I need per week...and that wasn't counting the stuff I did on the weekends.  My Hubby says weekend workouts are just bonus.

Whatever I am doing is working.  For the first weigh in I lost 7 pounds.  Very happy with that.

For today I have already do 20 minutes and am getting ready for the next 30ish...we will see how far we get...I hope to bank a few for the rest of the week.  I know that I have some things going on on Friday that will take up time for the working out.  So I need to get ahead of the week now.

Off to hit the bike...

Something has got to give...

That is all I can think right now.  Something HAS go to give in my life.  I really don't know why things are so crazy right now.  I don't know if it is me having some health issues, having too much to do and not enough time, or just being lazy.  There is plenty of time in the day to do things...I just don't feel like doing them.
 I have been having some foot pain that is making it hard to walk, but really that is just a good excuse I am using not to do anything...I know I need to go get it checked out..and I will..I just really hate Doctors. It seems like I have been going to see one at least every other week recently and I just can't take it anymore.
  It think that maybe one health issue might have worked itself out over the last few days so that is nice, but still I am stressed about it not being as worked out as I think.
   Too much stuff keep rattling around in my head.  I know I am not making much sense...but it is helping me to kinds just throw everything out there..
 I have started working out again, hence the whole pain in the foot being an issue, so at least that is good.  I have two new workout Game for the Wii...I did one yesterday and love it.  I am hoping this is what I need to get that kick start again...I know I have said all this before. I have gained so much weight in the last few months is isn't funny.  It is scary to me and I hope that this time I can actually do this.  I am really scared about what might happen to me if I don't do it this time.

As I said something has got to give...I need a break...I need something fantastic to happen to help boost my spirits!

Going to go work out...

Until then...

Sleepy....

Today is going ok.  I am so Tired....I could just fall asleep.  I was sleeping so go when that stupid alarm when off. Oh well.  Lots to do today and for the next few weeks.  After that I really hope that things clam down a little 2011 has started off with too much activities.  It is really been busy and the days are just flying by.  I can't believe it.  Oh well. 

Anyways off to get things done.

One of those days....

I am having one of those days.  You know those days where things just don't seem to be happening the way you plan.  Well that is me today.  I don't really know when things got off track but the are.  I am just kinda sitting around staring off into space and just plain not doing anything. I have no energy no get up and go.  I don't even want to watch t.v.  It really sad, because life is pretty good these days.  I just feel like I am going trough the motions, and not really enjoying it.

I have been battling some type of bug for a few weeks and that has left me tired and cranky.  It seems like this bug got into my system at Christmas and isn't let me go yet.  Every time I start to feel better it attacks again and knocks me down.

It feels like nothing is getting done around my house unless I do it.  I just don't have to will to get things done right now, but I also hate living in the cluttered mess that my home has become.

I did start working out again at the first of the year.  It is going ok.  Even being sick I try to get on the treadmill or bike.  I am enjoying the working out more because we now have a T.V. in our work out room so I am more entertained while working out.  That has helped so much so I am very happy about that.  I just need to get better and have life settle down a bit so I can get into a good routine. 

I guess I just need to settle into a routine.  That would make me happy.  Right now things are just so busy and I hate that I feel like I am running around like crazy and never getting anything done.

Things will get better I do believe that.  I just hope they get better soon...

Til then...

Early Morning walk!

So got up this morning and went for a walk while the hubby was taking a jog.  It was totally against my will.  Early mornings and cold don't make for a very happy me. But once it was done I felt ok.  I mean it wasn't even 7 am and I had already done 20 minutes of exercise.  Can't beat that now can you. 

I didn't quite get to 5000 steps yesterday. I will today. I figured out how many steps I need each hour that I am awake to get to that.  It is like 420 so that seems do able.  I will just have to walk around the house a few times..not big deal!

Eating was ok yesterday.  I did well considering it was date night. Will do better today. 

After while when I am more awake I am going to get on the exersice bike.  Do a little reading and a little peddling..sounds like fun.

Slow and steady...

Treadmill...

Just spent some quality time with the treadmill.  That was interesting after a long time apart.  So for day on,going along with the slow and steady concept,  I did a mile in 23 minutes.  Not too shabby.  Not too great.  While on the treadmill I did set my first exercise goal.  I want to do a mile in 20 minutes.  I think that is very manageable.  Once I hit that one, I will set a new one.  Slow and Steady. 

Untill then.

Back on the wagon again..Hopefully

So here I am again.  Trying this whole weight loss thing....again.  It is so hard.  I know I have picked a hard time to get started again with the Holidays coming, But I knew if I didn't start now then I would just keep eating and keep getting bigger then in the new year things would be even harder. So here I start again. 

I don't really have any grand plans this time.  I am going to move more and eat less and better.  I started to move more part yesterday.  I am adding the eat less today.  I have also decided to try to cut down on the sugar I eat.  I know I can't cut it all out.  I know me too well, but I know that I can eat less sugar everyday.  I don't drink much soda anyway so cutting that out won't be hard, but I am from the South so giving up my sweet tea...well now I just don't know about that.  I am going to do some research into the whole fake sugar stuff.  In the past I wasn't totally impressed  with Splenda but now there are so many more new products to try. 

I am starting to wear my arm band again. That really did help me last time.  I have set smaller goals for myself this time.  I think I was looking to big picture in the past.  Now it is going to be slow and steady I hope.

Well it is off to the treadmill. 
The goal for today in 5000 steps at least. (I know it should be 10,000 but I am starting slow remember)

Will fill you in tomorrow on how it all works out!
