Today was my day to weigh in at weight watchers, total weight loss to date is 10 pounds!!!!!!! I think of it like this when I pick up a bag of potato's they are pretty heavy. So I have lost a ten pound bag of potatoes:)
I am really sore today and when I was stretching I heard something in my back crunch(OUCH!) Now a spot on my back really hurts when I turn my head and my right side of my body. I am still planning on going to the gym tomorrow even if it still hurts. So resting today some and back at it tomorrow! I know I may have to adjust my work out a little because of this pulled muscle. In the past I would just quit, easy that way and I do have a great reason BUT I WILL NOT QUIT! I am worth all this work.
I am so blessed with friends and family who are supporting me in this life style change. I never realized this before. I knew a handful before but almost everyone I share my story with is so nice to me. I would always try to hide before and there was always a reason for eating and not excising. I have Fybro Myalgia and there is a lot of pain everyday. Guess what? I still have pain whether I exercise or not! It is so funny how my mind works to try and trick me. Oh just one will not hurt you, you have done well today go ahead. Then at the end of the entire box of say "Little Debbies" one has turned into 10! Now, I see I am worth not eating one because I see I can not handle this food addiction.
Yes, my name is Jeannie and I am addicted to food. I am working on it!
Tonights dinner was awesome! Chicken Stir-Fry with broccoli slaw veggies and rice. It was easy and quick to make. We used quick rice and we were ready to eat in 15 minutes.
A last note for the day: I had to buy hair ties, ugh. I am wondering how people sleep with long hair, I keep pulling mine when I turn over at night then I wake up. hahahaha This is so new for me.
I am starting this blog to record about this journey I am taking and to share with my family and friends about my life. I am starting to eat better and beginning to exercise more. I have tried this many times before but this time I am going to succeed. Starting weight was 375! This journey actually started 10/20/11 but my blog is starting today 12/7/11. Come along and enjoy with me my adventures with me.
I know you will be able to do this. I have faith in you.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work Jeannie. So proud of you. As a person who has had a lifelong struggle with my weight, I know how much courage it takes to put yourself "out there" and admit food is a problem. The blog is a great idea and I know if you take one day at a time, you will reach your goals. And YES! you are definitely worth it. Love you!
