blah

That really sums up my day and how I feel.

I need to clean the house, but I don't feel like it.

I need to stay OP, but I don't feel like it.

All I really want to do is curl up in the recliner with a good book and read for the afternoon, but I don't have anything to read. I've been wanting to get to the library for a few weeks now, but it's just not worked out for me.

Yesterday, I'm not sure what happened. I made chocolate frosting. Then ate most of it throughout the day. I finished it today.

Actually, I do know what happened. It's the week before TOM. I get like this. I don't really care what happens. I just feel blah. Don't want to do anything, go anywhere, nothing.

I did exercise, but I quit about 3/4 of the way through instead of sticking it out.

The scale is still stuck at 200.5. I SO need to break this plateau.

We ate with my family over the holiday weekend. My cousin's hubby has lost 45 lbs. on a low-carb diet. He does so good with it too. So, of course that made me want to go back to low-carb. I can drop the weight pretty quick on low-carb, but it's hard for me to stay on. Let's just face it, any diet is hard for me to stay on.

My basic problem is this: I want the results, I just don't want to do the work.

However, low-carb seems to be the thing that is easiest for me to stick to. And even that's hard.

Whatever. I just needed to vent. I don't know what I'm gonna do. But I am done with this for now.

Just a quick post

...before we head out to church.

I've stayed steady at 200.5 for the weekend. I suppose considering that I haven't been OP, that's allright.

I had some pics saved on my computer that were before pics. I can't remember when they were taken, but I think it was sometime in 2007, maybe. Anyway. I took some new ones a couple of weeks ago. I just put them on my computer and compared them. I don't think there was any difference. Just that we've gotten a better camera since the last ones were taken. I thought about posting them here, but I'm not ready to be that open.

So, that's the update for now. We've been really busy this weekend, so I haven't really had time to post until now.

I told J (my hubby) that we are going to measure in the morning. Hopefully, I've lost some inches and I'll feel better about no loss. AND I'm kicking it into high gear this week.
My goals for the week: Exercise everyday
100 oz. of water everyday
OP everyday!

I gotta run for now. Be back for a measurement update sometime Monday!

Survey says....

200!!!!

YAY! YAY! YAY!

Yep. I know. Total freak out over half a pound. Big whoop. Well. To me it is a big whoop!!!!

I'm SO close to Onederland now, I can taste it.

Earlier, Bob Harper kicked my butt on the Biggest Loser Workout. I hung in as best I could, but now I have something to work for: being able to do the whole workout! I started out with the low intensity cardio. The DVD has 4 different workouts: low intensity cardio, strength and sculpt, high intensity cardio and boot camp. Each workout has a warm-up and cool down. Or you can mix and match what you what to play. It's pretty neat. So, I figure I'll start easy and work my way up.

As for eating. So far today I'm OP. I'm hoping to stay OP for the rest of the day. We are having a family cookout Saturday for July 4th. I'm dealing with myself (and publishing it): if I stay OP for today and Friday, I'll eat what I want in moderation at the cookout! Pretty good deal. I've been wanting a hot dog!

That's it for now. E's awake. Off to feed her before my snack time....

The verdict is....

guilty. I'm guilty of not being POP today.

There. I said it.

When I got home from church tonight, I had some cheese and crackers. Then a couple of handfuls of popcorn. Both definite no-nos on the 6WBMO. *sigh* I'm pretty sure I got all my 100 oz. of water in today.

So, we'll see how it goes on the scale in the A.M.!

I exercised this morning

and that is an achievement. YAY!!! I walked one mile with Leslie Sansone. I love her Walk at Home DVDs. I can walk anytime I want no matter what the weather is!

Weigh-in this morning was the same....200.5.

My goal for today is to be Perfect On Plan (POP) and HOPEFULLY get that .5 pound gone for good!!!

So there you have it. I'm off to have a POP-tastic day!!!
