Bad idea. Beer, meat, potato salad and chips. That was my dinner last night. Two whole pounds of it. As much as it was tasty, it was as much weight that I added back on to my body. Be careful to eat in moderation this weekend. I'm thinking a long brisk walk is in my future.
Happy Memorial Day!

My Weight Loss Journal
I'm a tad late in posting this but I've had one heck of a week. This news is super exciting. The Wii said OOOOH You're Normal.
To make my weight loss even better. A co-worked told me I was HIGH SCHOOL skinny. I know I'm not since I graduated at a whopping 126 pounds but it sure made me float around all week. Oh yeah the size 10s that were cutting off circulation to my brain after an hour I have room in. Twenty four more pounds to go. I CAN DO THIS!!!!!!

My Weight Loss Journal
If you've been following along you know on Feb 22,2011 on my doctors scale I weighed in at 198 pounds. I was told I needed to loose weight to reduce the stress on my back. Today is Apr 28, 2011 and I am 175 pounds. I am so happy. In one pound I will have made the half way mark to my goal.
I'm still counting my calories with My Fitness Pal and I'm still having fun with it.
I'll check back in with my goals in about a week with a real ME photo.

I have kind of plateaued with weight loss. Not discouraged yet. I've been holding strong at 179. Still super excited to be in the 170's. I'm eating around 1200 calories a day plus walking at work. The hard work in my garden has become easier so I need to find a new low impact calorie burning activity to add. without giving up my garden. I'm thinking of my family walks again a few nights a week. I'll post to cool adventures we have and if it's working with my weight loss goals. Every outing with us is an adventure. I will also be increasing my calorie count by 200 for the next two weeks. I have been told by a few people that your body will stop the weight loss once it thinks your in a famine. In my case no famine but a lot less food and if I indulge a small amount of extra calories a few weeks and drop them back down I will kick start the weight loss again. Keeping my fingers crossed this works since I don't want to gain back all my hard work.

Small successes keep my spirits up and my motivation strong. I weighed in at 181 today. Yay Me! This week I put a pair of size 12 jeans on and wore them comfortably all week. The rain made it impossible to work in my garden so this week I spent 20 minutes of my lunch doing laps down the long halls of my office building. I treated myself toSalt and Pepper Pop chips on Friday. I'm feeling good.
Pictures again next week.

I know everyone wants to loose weight. My story is this I have layers of issues in my back that cause chronic pain. I have been told if I loose weight it will help with my pain. The issues in my back may never leave me pain free but there are things I can do to lessen it. If loosing weight means that I can go to the grocery store, help at my kids sporting events, ride my bike, play at the park and go on vacations like camping and Disneyland I'm going to do it. I am still happy with My Fitness Pal app on my droid. It's easy to use. I weigh my self daily using my Wii Fit. I have a log of what I'm eating stored in the app. Even if my calories are perfect there are some foods that I choose not to eat as often because I notice I may be fluctuating my weight in the wrong direction.
With my back issues I am limited to what I can do as far as exercise. It has to be low impact and not in the sitting position. I walk and I garden, not lifting anything over 15 pounds. I also have a set of exercises I do laying down to improve my core muscle strength.
My progress is improving my self esteem and I can see the changing in the way I look. I'm not feeling pain relief yet but that takes time.
I hope my journal can help someone else who struggles with pain or weight.
So this is me today 5'10" 183 pounds.

My Fitness Pal
About a week ago my sister-in-law posted on Facebook a link for a free calorie counter. I have been trying to lose my post baby weight for over two years now. I had gone from 140 pounds to 198 pounds. Needless to say, anything to get rid of the weight at this point was welcome. After all, it's starting to feel not like post-baby weight, but just fat.
It kills me every time I see my pre-pregancy photos, or feel like people look at me like I'm lazy. I've done Weight Watchers, Slim fast, Acia Berry cleanse, worked out three times a week on the eliptical, and served as a referee for four youth soccer games a week -- and sometimes all in a single day. Still, I have been stuck at 193 pounds.
Today, I record everything I pop in my mouth on my cell phone with the My Finess Pal, the free calorie counter. So far, a week into it, it seems to be working. Two weeks ago I weighed 198 pounds at the doctors office; today I'm 188 pounds. I'm eating 1,200 calories a day. The app for my cell has a scanner that tells me how may calories and all the other goodies per serving. I can quickly add calories without a bar code. I can also record my activities and it will tell me how many calories I've burned.
Here's the best part: I've eaten chicken nuggets, French fries, tacos, pizza, and beer. OK, I also ate salads, oatmeal, and healthy food, too. I think the trick is I have a running calculator. so I can see if I can afford to eat Taco Bell or if I should go home and eat steamed veggies. I also get more calories the more activies I do. My workout has been three or four brisk walks for 10 minutes a day and gardening with my kids. I am more encouraged to do more activies the hungrier I get, and then after I've done the activity, I'm not as hungry. It's really weird.
I have a ticker at the bottom of my blog so you can see my progress. I want to lose 42 pounds, and today is March 6th. Look at it again in a week or two. If you're trying to lose weight too, chime in and tell me how you're doing -- and what you're doing!
