Eat Clean

I started reading The Eat-Clean Diet Recharged! by Tosca Reno.

Tosca Reno's book has a gluten free meal plan. Yes!

I walked 3 miles this morning for one hour.

This is just a quick update, I have to run and eat... every 2-1/2 hours.

Weigh in Wednesday!

24 hour bug

I woke up yesterday with a stomach ache, which turned into diarrhea and fever. I had no energy and my body ached. I took Benadryl first because I thought I had eaten some wheat and was having an allergic reaction. After a couple of hours there was no change so I took Theraflu, ibuprofen, and warm Sierra Mist with ginger.

Today I am almost 100%.

I lost 3 pounds. This was not a good way to lose it, but 3 pounds are 3 pounds.

I have to admit I have been drinking a lot more water. It's probably because I am dehydrated.

Wednesday (7/7) planned to walk 2-3 miles but didn't I used rain as an excuse, even though I have a treadmill. Hmm...

I really need to stay motivated if I want to see results.

Not sure if I will walk today... if I do it will be a very short walk. I don't want to go through this again! Arrgh

We fall down...

"We fall down but we get up."

I had ballooned up to 167 pounds. I have been walking at least 1 mile three times a week. I think I llike the number 163 because I seem to hang out there a lot.

145 pounds is still my goal.

Motivation is still an issue for me. I have teamed up with my friend Les. She is a little ball of energy. I love walking with her because she pushes me beyond my comfort zone. When I can see results fast it motivates me to work harder.

I want to be 150 by September 1.

Monday (7/5) walked 3.6 miles in 68 minutes.

Wesnesday weigh-in is back...





I weighed in @ 165 pounds...

I gained 5 pounds from overeating...

I also have a lot of bloat from falling off the wagon... I ate wheat on several occasions... My family went on a Domino's pizza binge... A hot dog binge... I was tempted by the smell of the pizza and the hot dog buns... I could not control the craving...I broke down... I ate a slice of pizza, a hot dog with bun, and a peanut butter sandwich.

I paid for it... I have been suffering from constipation and bloat for three weeks now... I was miserable for three weeks.

I received a "shake weight" for my birthday... Fitness Magazine reviewed the "shake weight" and found it to be promising... I asked my kids to get it for my birthday and my husband surprised me with it... I can feel the burn in my arms and in my core... I am excited again about yet another exercise gadget...

Well I am off to a good start and will be checking in next Wednesday...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Have you made your resolutions?

I decided not to make any this year because I never keep them.

When I decided to change my lifestyle that was the resolution for the rest of my life.

I have made some positive changes and I am still working on changing some old nonproductive habits.

I started 2009 weighing in @ 169.

I have been up and down all year long.

I keep reminding myself that I didn't get this big over night and I am not going to lose all the weight over night.

I am working on stress relief and a positive attitude.

I have been having lower back pain and pain in my joints. I thought the joint pain was caused by the wheat I was eating.

However, I have not eaten wheat in a year or so...unless I have gotten it without knowing...which I could have, because wheat is in everything...I mean EVERYTHING.

To combat the pain I have started doing Yoga again... I started with Yoga for back and abs... I will be adding more Yoga after a few weeks...I understand Yoga not only helps with my physical body but it helps relieve stress and improve mental clarity.

I seem to attract people with negative attitudes who are beat up by stress and worry.

They come into my life vomit all over me... then they feel better...you know how it is when you are sick to your stomach... your mouth is filling with saliva...your stomach is heaving and after you vomit you feel a since of relief.

Well that is all good for the person vomiting but I am left to clean up the stinking foul slimy chunks of vomit they left behind.

This year is a ME Year...for over 16 years I have been taking care of everyone else and forgetting to take care of me.

Oh yeah, I am still weighing in @160 so this is good...I have 20 more pounds to lose to reach goal weight.

I am excited about 2010!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
PEACE
