weekend

OK...
Our weekend of fun threw me off track!  We missed our upper body workout on Friday.  I was going to try to make it up and then I thought, "nope...it was just a miss."  Yesterday should have been legs, but working in the kitchen (new countertops, yippeeee) and babysitting knocked that plan out of whack.  So, today should be "off"....it is legs instead.  Today, we will be doing a superset for quads and hams and then squats and something else I've forgotten.  It will feel good to get back on track!  Yesterday shouldn't have been a free-eating day either, but it turned out to be with the kitchen torn apart (hadn't planned that...a friend decided to help and plans of closet organization turned into kitchen demolition) and so today is back on with eats too!  AND closet organization day!  I'll have to post remodeling pictures soon.  Nothing is completely finished yet, but close.  I got to take a bath in my new DEEP bathtub last night...ah!

Josha, wanted to say a big thank you for your very thoughtful comments on my blog today. it really means a lot to me. I do want people to know that if i can do it so can "you". we all have struggles and obstacles to overcome. i think that is why i decided to post my "negative" thoughts. they are thoughts we all must fight with at some point. i want people to know that i am a real person and that i have struggles and that my weight didn't just fall off without any struggles along the way. it is an ongoing journey. and we will succeed as long as we don't give up and keep plugging along!

More Than One Way

Knowing that the initial weight loss starts out with loss of water weight, I set a goal for the first week, to lose 5 pounds. I lost 6.6 pounds. Yay! Weight isn't everything, but this week, I have gained a pound, which is discouraging for sure. So- I measured instead, and I've lost an inch in my waist. Plus, I wore my belt a notch smaller this week. There is more than one way to measure success! A goal for this second week has been to eat more of the good, healthy fats. I think that my downfall is a repeated one from the past. I don't eat enough to support my activity. My adrenals kick in and I lose ground. I haven't accomplished my dietary goal, so I will re-focus!

Head in the Game

Image
The challenge of keeping my head in the game is REAL! It seems lately, that with every attempt to re-gain my health, I get injured. I'm unable to go to fitness classes or runs right now, so I got excited about jumprope, thinking my foot (broken about 2 YEARS AGO) could take it. I was wrong. Now, I have almost constant pain in my foot/ankle/leg. I am back to 'only' yoga, which I love, but can I lose the weight and gain the strength with yoga alone? I think I can! So now, as I search for medical answers about my foot, I am excited again about yoga. So, here are my 5 Ways to Keep Your Head In The Game: Nix Negativity. Speak only to yourself and into the universe, what brings peace. (thanks, Ruthie) Review your goals. Keep pictures at the ready that represent your aspirations. Go to sleep with the vision of yourself having achieved your goals firmly in your mind. Cut yourself some slack.  Practice makes practice, not perfection. Get a friend in on the journey w...

Old and New

I'm so grateful that I kept this blog as I lost weight and gained strength the first time. Looking back through old posts, I am reminded to be patient and to persevere. I am reminded of my personal inner strength and of the ability to start over every day, as needed. I had gained 70 pounds in the course of the years of trying desperately to teach my autistic son. I poured myself into him and my other 2 homeschooled children. The story of this blog goes that I awakened to the realization that I had to re-learn how to care for myself, and these chapters describe the successful journey of losing 70 pounds and gaining confidence and strength. It's a wonderful story. I loved it as I lived it, and I managed to keep the weight off for 10 years as my children grew up and graduated my tutorship. Many factors slipped in to define the recent few magical years in which my autistic son became able to communicate and I devoted my all to him and to teaching others like him... and re-gained ...
