I'm movin!

Click on the link below to follow me on just the one main blog... I have 2 Blogger blogs... one for the weight loss and one for everything else. I've merged the 2 blogs into one. So much easier for me to keep up with one blog than it is 2 blogs.

http://plainboggs.blogspot.com/

I will be deleting this weight loss blog soon. I'm not giving up on the weight loss.. it's just easier for me to handle one instead of 2 blogs. I've imported all of the posts onto the main blog.

I'm here.. but not really.

I havn't forgotten about this blog here. Major stress and life issues are taking place and I'm pretty much in "shut down mode". I've been eating my way through the stress. Some days, I'm over the moon and back on points and the other days.. I barely reach point goal. What are some suggestions for getting through the stress... the sleep deprivation... and the just plain "not into it" feeling?

Grrr.. rumble rumble...

That's what my belly has been doing most of the day. I'm not hungry..but for breakfast I had some Fiber One cereal... maybe a little to much fiber. ick!

I'm giving myself a big ol' pat on the back right now. Other than the to much fiber feeling.. I did pretty good with eating today. And this evening after work, I cooked dinner, did some major cleaning in the kitchen, moved onto laundry, pulled some weeds around the house..you get the point.

Getting enough rest/sleep at night is important for a healthy lifestyle. I'm still working on that. I have a sit down job..I find myself making excuses to get up and walk around, which isn't a good thing when my desk is piled high with work. Today was my first day back to work from vacation and I could not sit still...which makes me behind on what I need to get done. When I had a regular working out routine, I slept pretty good at night. And with what seems like a million and one things to do around the house, I'm compromising... for now. Working out for getting things done around the house. I think it's going to be a good compromise..cause after all I accomplished today..I'm pooped.

I'm back...

I just returned from a week of vacation in Myrtle Beach, SC. Had tons of fun with the family, and got a bit to much sun. My "eating healthy" was hanging out the window for fresh air for the week. Who can resist "River City" an awesome burger joint that I swear is the absolute best!.. We ate there not once..but twice! This place is really unlike any other restaurant...the inside and the outside is covered with license plates from all over... funny ones..plain ones, from all over the U.S. And every last inch of the place is covered with signatures.. "Susie was here-09" So and So loves ?? and on and on.. and it cracks me up to go in and just sit down and start eating peanuts and throwing the shells on the floor...I'm easily amused..haha And on the way out the door is a huge chalk board that says.."Diet Later".....then of course I felt guilty for eating what i ate..

Each day I would put on my one piece black swimsuit (totally boring, I know)..and at first I had issues with taking off my cover-up, it is not easy to swim with a cover-up on.. but by Thursday...I was letting all my stuff hang out and I didn't care. I kept telling myself..who cares what these people think..it's not like I'm ever going to see them again in my life..OR "hurry..get in the pool. I confuse myself.

Swimming is good exercise, and I would like to find someplace that does water aerobics...exercising seems so much easier in the water..and I don't have to wipe the sweat and tears.

Blowing off some steam..

Confessions..

I hate dieting, I hate exercising, I hate sitting down to a fried chicken, stuffing, mashed potato, corn on the cob meal and thinking.."now don't over do it", or "you should really only take about half of those potato's". I'm not good at weight loss...I'm good at cooking all the not so good for you meals.

I like salad..with ham, shredded cheese, boiled egg whites, and maybe a few shredded carrot's. But darn it! I'm not about to eat it every day or even every other day. The contents of my salads aren't the best..I refuse to eat tomato (snot rings), cucumbers-ick!, and any type or kind of olive reminds me of beer.

I love a good greasy pepperoni with extra cheese pizza, and not just one or two pieces..I like to eat it until I feel I'm about to explode.

Yougurt..is OK..but seriously..how many types are actually out there that are good for you and can satisfy? ..yogurt makes my mouth feel dry.

I'm sitting at the lunch table with friends... I'm having a tuna salad sandwich, with celery sticks .. They are having a cheeseburger with the works, fries, cheesecake.. the next friend is having an over-sized piece of lasagna with garlic bread and chocolate cake...and don't forget the next friend with the huge submarine..what is wrong with this picture? I'm fat and they're skinny..bitches!

Run Toto...

I started off today with a bike ride, on a bike similar to the picture above. I must admit I felt like I should be in the movie "Wizard of OZ", when the wicked witch of the west is riding her bike and puts Toto in the basket on the back. The music kept running through my mind.

It was a bit chilly riding, but it was nice. I mapped my route after wards and rode 2.03 miles. Not bad for the first day.

Why I need and want to lose weight.

In an attempt to gain back my focus and motivation, I'm reminding myself of my need to loose weight.


My reasons for wanting/needing to lose weight are simple.

* I want to feel better about myself. I want to be able to look in a mirror and say "damn! you look hot", instead of trying to hide the imperfections of rolls and cellulite.

* Plus size clothing sucks! Not to mention expensive and sometimes "granny" looking.

* Better health...heart disease, high cholesterol and diabetes are no joke. They are all very real possibilities.
