Day 22 Week 4

Hey Everybody!

Well last night I burned off a few more calories playing for 4 hours the Xbox Kinect with my family. Super fun! We are about to play again tonight. 

Family is so special. I love my husband and kids a bunch. They are the reason I push myself to be better, live better, and to love myself better.

So tomorrow is weigh-in Wednesday and I can not wait. I hope you come back to see how much I loss for week 3. My goal is 2 pounds. Crossing my fingers.

Moving around and being active is very good for your heart.  I will also have my blood pressure reading tomorrow as well.

LOVE< LIVE< LAUGH!

Day 21

21 DAYS of my new lifestyle.

http://science.howstuffworks.com/life/form-a-habit1.htm

Read this article about making an habit of doing something for 21 days.

My husband told me about the 21 days habit forming a few years ago. I kind of didn't believe at first when he first told me about, but later realized that it could be true.

I am so proud of myself. I feel like I am losing weight. A little at a time. My mama told me one time that you want your weight to come off slow and not too fast. I am a bit nervous about my weight on Wednesday. I want to have reached my goal for this week. 2 pounds.

I have been on the treadmill and watching everything I eat. I did have a piece of cake (thin and small piece) a few days after Christmas, but it was fine. I did not go over my calories for that day. I am not starving myself, so I am good.

And also, I AM NOT TAKING ANY DIET PILLS.

There have been a lot of people asking me that. I am doing this the natural way. A way where I can live for the rest of my life doing it.

                                  

Day 20

Today is my dad's birthday and we all went out to eat to a ALL YOU CAN EAT place. Wow! I did really good. I walked between the different kinds of foods with my plate in my hand wondering what the hell am I going to eat. I panic for a second. Until I looked over and saw my husband standing at the stir fry area. I said to myself, "Okay. I can pick what I want and have the guy cook it for me. Cool."

I went over and got 4 oz of shrimp and vegetables. I asked the guy please not to add anything to it. I gave me a funny look like I was getting on his nerves. But he did it. I grabbed some sushi, oysters, and some pineapple. That is all I had.

My blood pressure reading has been wonderful lately. I have not check yet to day, but first thing in the morning I will.

So today I have about 1300 calories. The last two days I did go over my sodium intake a little, but today I am back on track.

Any woo......................

Today is a very special day because it is my dad's birthday. My dad looked so happy to see us all to eat dinner with him. I also made him a cake that I did not eat. (Yay Me!)

Day 19

Whoa! So today I worked out for 35 minutes and I am going to eat 1500-1800 calories but I only have 1329 down that I am eating, so I guess I need to eat more.

The last two nights I had been hungry after 8, but I have not ate anything. My husband had to help me out with that. He would just say, "No! Don't eat!" I was not scared of him or anything, it was just funny and cute. He trying to help me not to eat after 8. He has also stop eating after 8 as well. My kids also always watching me. They would ask, "What are you eating?" My daughter would say, "No eating after 8."  I likes telling me that because she is bossy.

I am also glad I got a break from my daughter today. She is with my brother and his wife. I have time to breathe. She really no bother after she got a Nook for Christmas. She loves that thing. Hooked on it already. She can not go any where without it.

My plan for today is to stay within my calories, spend time with my family, cook dinner, and re creative some recipes. Oh, and wash and fold clothes. That should burn some calories. It is a lot of  clothes.

So I see you folks tomorrow.

Day 18

Today is an okay day.

I worked out and going to my brother and sis-n-law's house to eat dinner. I love being with my family. Well the ones that are not full of drama.

I did not want to exercise this morning because I felt tired and depressed.

You ever have a dream that feels like it is real? Well I did last night (well early this morning) of my mom. We were talking and laughing like it was old times. She was smiling and happy. And I was happy to be with her. I woke up confused and realized it was not real. It was a dream. So it made me sad.

It is a lot going on right now in my family. I just feel a little bit overwhelmed.

I'm still eating my calories. Today I will eat 1600-1800 calories. I exercised for 35 minutes and tomorrow I will do the same.

 

Day 17

The day after Christmas......................

I ate good but was still under my calories. I did eat a small piece of cake, that's it! I had no alcohol! Yay me! I thought it was going to be hard, but it was not. It was also helpful that my husband was not drinking as well. He supports me to the fullness. I love that man to death. I had a wonderful time at my brother's house. He and his wife cooked so goooooooood food.

Now I am at my husband's grandma's house eating dinner that she made. Also good. Both families did make stuff that I can pick and choose from so I would not make bad choices.

So I did say I will do my blog every day, but only do my videos on weight-in Wednesdays. I will also be doing recipes from time to time. Enjoy the rest of your day.

I only had 1700 calories today and yesterday I had the same. I will see you guys tomorrow. 

Day 16

Merry Christmas Everybody!

Enjoy and have fun! Did my workout this morning now I am about to have fun with my family!
