People Enjoy This? Really? Are you Sure?

Today is a day that should be written down in the history books. Did I save someone's life? Did I cure a deadly disease?


Well, kinda. I took steps (you'll get the joke in a second) in that direction. Follow me here, it's a bit of a stretch.


Today I exercised!!! For 30 minutes, I did the Weight Watcher Walk at Home video (Get the joke? "Took steps!" - lame, I know) So, in a way, Yes. Yes, I did save a life today - mine. Or atleast I took steps (there's that joke again) toward saving my life and while I'm not curing a deadly disease, I have started fighting against heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.


Yeah, I know that rationalization is a bit of a stretch, but kinda true too.


So what have you done lately to fight the battle of the bulge?

Update on a previous post - Operation Dr. Pepper (aka "Cut Back? Cold Turkery? To Be or Not to Be? Those are the Questions") - I have cut back on my Dr. Pepper and cola consumption. It is taking longer than I planned, but it is happening.

What The?

I just now noticed my visitor counter has been set back to zero. Wonder why that is? Must be my fault. I'll start a new one later. The last time I logged on, it was over 450.

So, if you really want to know what number visitor you are, add 450 to whatever the counter says over there and it'll get you in the ballpark.

Incase Your Wondering

I officially started getting healthy - I typed dieting first, but decided that's not what I'm doing - the week of Christmas. An odd time to start a lifestyle change, but I'm an odd one. Anyway! Since then, I have cut back on the cokes, and tried to eat healthier. Well, I am happy to report that I have lost about 5 lbs now! 2.4 in the last week. :)

Notes of congratulations can be left in a comment. ;)

My New Motto

I came up with this today. I have to say, I think it's genius!!

Gettin' think in 2010!!!!

Cold Turkey? Cut Back? To be or not to be? Those are the Questions.

Alrighty! In my quest for a hot bod...I mean to be healthy....I have decided to give up cokes (cokes = soda, pop, etc). Now my question to you is this. Do I go cold turkey or start by cutting back until I give them up entirely?

I've tried cold turkey before and after about 3 days, 100 headaches, and blindness (Okay, that's an exaggeration. I only had about 50 headaches) I end up going crazy and drank a 12 pk in less than an hour.

I think I'm going to go the cutting back route. Right now, I drink about 3 cokes a day. That's if I'm at home or out and about. That's my estimation which means it's more like 5 or 6. So! If I cut down what is the magic number to start with? 5 a week? 3 a week? One a day?

Another question? When do I cut back again? After 2 weeks? One month?

ARG!! Too many questions. This is why I fail! I over think things! Weightloss shouldn't be this hard!

So that's why I need you. What are your suggestions? Tell me about your experiences. I need help!!

Now, where's that Dr. Pepper?

Let's Give it Another Go!

I honestly forgot that I had this blog. I started it to help my lose weight. Has that happened?

What do you think?

My last post was in August and...

Well, there is no "and."

Still at the same weight.

Still wearing the same clothes.

Still depressed if I let myself think about it.

I actually came here today to delete this blog. Then I saw that it had been visited over 300 times!!! What? I am in shock. Are people actually reading this?

So, I'm going to give it another go. I've decided that I will not focus on weight. Sure, I'll post about it, but I'll post about other things too. I have a family blog that is private. This one will not be private. It's open to the world. I will not be using my real name, or anyone's real name.

If you know me, great! Just don't post my name in a comment, but please leave a comment.

Now, I must go back and edit some post and delete some comments. Don't be offended if I delete a comment you made. It's only because my real name is in it.

From now on, you can call me.....

LoserGirl!

Here We Go Again!

This roller coaster of weight is never ending! It seems to hover around 188-190 lbs. Right now I am down again so woo-hoo for that. But, I am just not excited about it. I think I am resigning myself to just being fat. I went clothes shopping today and ofcourse came home depressed. I mean, who I am kidding? I can't put my big toe in a size 14 right now. Yet to me, that looked to be about the right size. I must be delusional. Try a size 18. That's right, 18! This can not be!

And whoever at Old Navy thought you should hang a size 2 by a size 18 needs to shot! That's all I'm saying!!
