Well I’m feeling a little crappy and down. I do pretty well during the week and then the weekends just suck. Drank way too much on Friday (Capt. and diet coke), went to Sadie’s on Saturday and had lots of Carne Adavada, beans, cheese etc and a Miller Light. I pretty much ate that for dinner too, plus 2 apples. Then yesterday we went to my dads where we had more beans, carnitas and red chili…. and I had like 8 Michelob Ultras!!! lol

And on top of all that I haven’t exercised. :(

So today I hope to do better. I’m torn, I can’t decide it eating fruit is all that bad for me. I mean obviously fruit is good, but as I’m low carb I’m not sure if an apple is going to help me get to my goals. Yet I can’t imagine that it’d really keep me from my goals…?

Sigh! Mish and Sara are doing better and getting their weight down, I want to keep up with them! lol. It’s all about being diligent with our eating, drinking lots of water and exercise… So today I’m “going to the gym” when I get home (the gym is in my room lol).

Sigh… Lets hope I do better! I’d like to get out of the stupid 190’s - I’ll be content at 180.. of course below that is even better… But how do I get there!?!!

Sigh! I feel a splurge coming on - nuts. :(

Staying Strong

Well I am disapointed in myself, yet I’m not. I worked out for 60 minutes on Saturday, running/walking on the treadmill. Then did my arms. But then I talked hubby into taking me to Sadies (hehe) and I had 3 Michelobe Ultras (with lime and salt of course) and then beans and carne adavada. Sigh!! It’s the calories and the beans that are bugging me. So then I get home and have berries and cream cheese. And then I ate bad alllllll day on Sunday. I had my left overs from Sadies, then I had like 4 oranges, lots of berries with cream cheese, an apple and about 1/2 a jar of dry roasted peanuts. I know there are worse things for me to pig out on lol. But for me that’s not good. I know that I can’t really tollerate all of that and being ‘low-carb’ I’m not supposed to eat all that!

I just don’t get it. I was feeling pretty good last week. Feeling and looking thinner. People were even making comments. And then I blow it. I also didn’t work out on Sunday. I did 45 minutes walk/jog this AM so that helps. Also, I ended up blowing my ’salad week’. But this week I want to try again. I will have salad tonight and maybe 2 more times for dinner. Of course lunch will be salad. :)

Just don’t get why it’s so easy to cave. Even when I’m feeling good. Hubby asked me last night what I was feeding. And he’s right. I was feeling a bit down and then the more I ate the worse I felt so the more I ate…

Stupid stupid Lisha. :(

But no worries. Today I’ll do better. I was tempted to bring the rest of the peanuts with me to work  but I ignored them. I’ll stay strong and focus and when I get home I’ll hurry and work out, that always helps me stay on track in the evening… but again, it’s SO hard to get up and do it!

Gonna do good… :)

Hope ya’ll are doing good too! :)

Hi!

Weight is 194/193. It didn’t even go to 195 when I leaned. ;) lol

Did 30 minutes on the treadmill this AM. Didn’t work out last night and I ate too much dinner. sigh!

My eliptical has been making this weird noise like it’s getting fraction on one side of the foot thingys. Well this AM I thought it’d be a good idea to put some oil on it… the only oil that was near by was baby oil… needless to say that it didn’t work and now it’s making all kinds of noises and my hubby is mad at me. LOL. I hope I didn’t break it… sigh! I’ve only used it like maybe 30 times since I got it last year…. :(

Other than I’m doing good. ;)

I’m feeling a bit hungry today but I’ll try and be good!!

ttfn…

doing better…

Hey!

Doing better. Weight is still at 195 but it’s a solid 195. When I lean it just goes to 194! lol. Can’t wait to get back down to the 170’s again. It’s crazy how fast you can gain weight. If only we could lose it as fast!

Anyway, I did 25 minuts of my buns video and I surprisingly I can still walk today! :) I wanted to do the full 30 minutes but hubby came in and I got embarrased and stopped. I was like “just 5 more minutes”… but he wouldn’t hear of it, he was being needy. (sigh!). I also did upper body work and this AM I did 30 minutes on the eliptical.

Anyway, I’m feeling better already and less bloated. TOM is finally gone so hopefully I won’t swell up like a cow anymore… for 3-4 more weeks anyway. ;)

Hope all is well with you all! :)

Morning!

Well… bad news - didn’t do great this past weekend at all. Ate too much, drank too much and didn’t work out. My migrain finally came yesterday so I stayed in bed pretty much all day feeling sorry for myself. It was nice though, it gave me an excuse to be lazy and watch my favorite girly movies. ;)

Good news - I woke up feeling better and rested so I did 45 minutes on the eliptical. Hubby and I have decided to make this a salad week…. LOL. So we’ll eat lots of salad (obvioulsly hehe). I ‘hope’ to work out a bit  more this evening. I want to try and do cardio in the AM - a full hour might be a bit too much to start out with so I’m scaling down to 30-45 minutes… In the evening I’d like to work on strength training. So we’ll see how it goes. :)

Not sure what the scale says, I’ll get on tomorrow morning and update weight. Hopefully I didn’t gain with this weekends food/drink fest!

Hope all is well with everyone out there in slim land. ;)

Hola!

Well I didn’t work out again yesterday or this morning. BUT the good news is I can finally move with out crying like a baby!! I might even try my buns of steel vid again tonight… LOL. But I’ll listen to my body this time! and stretch afterwards…..

I had a few macadamias yesterday but other than that I’ve resisted the nuts. I had my little salad so hopefully I’ll stay strong! Dinner won’t be great because I have a late closing and I told hubby I’d just pick something up. Maybe I’ll get take out of Chili’s and get a salad or something…

Weight is still at 195… well 194 if I lean just right… 197 if lean another way…LOL *stupid scale*.

Feeling like a migrain is coming… :(  hopefully it stays away!!

Grrrr me

Hello! :)

Well I totally suck a$$! I ate another friggin’ can of peanuts yesterday instead of my usual little salad. Dinner was ok but I didn’t work out. When I got home I was still SOOO sore from that stupid buns of steel video and was all swollen. Hubby ’suggested’ I take it easy so of course I did. LOL (don’t twist my arm)… Plus my ‘girly friend’ is visiting and she’s making me all fat and bloated. GRRRR.

I’m feeling a little less sore today but I didn’t wake up to work out at 4:30 like I was supposed to… & tonight we’re supposed to take the kids to the BMX track so who knows if I’ll get it in.

I hate that it’s so easy to NOT exercise and to eat like a  pig. I wish I could just be one of those girls who don’t eat and who are all perky all the time. … well don’t get me wrong, I am the perkiest motha in town but you know… except for when I’m not. ? ;)

Hello!

Well I worked out Sunday. I did 60 minutes on the treadmill and then did the bun shapper video my hubby got me for xmas for 30 minutes. I’m sad to say that I have not been able to really move since! LOL. That bootie video is evil… pure evil! My mom said that I had better hurry and do it again while I’m sore. I’m like - are you crazy!?!

Anyway… needless to say, I only did 30 minutes yesterday moring on the treadmill so I didn’t get my 60 minutes in. This morning I didn’t wake up to work out either. GRRR me! I will REALLLLLY try and do it this evening. Even if it’s just another 30  minutes. Hubby also got me a streatching video (by Susan Powter - remember her??? I didn’t even know she was still around)… anyway maybe I’ll do that too.

Other than that I’m doing ok. Well eating sucks. I ate a whole jar of peanuts yesterday. :(

Hope everyone else is doing fab!

Hello!

Hello! My name is Elishia and I’ve been doing Atkins since Dec 8, 2005. I’ve lost 105 lbs but recently put on about 20 lbs! I’m back to about 200lbs and really want to get back on the ball and get to goal.

My 2008 resolution is exercise. That’s it. To exercise 5-6 days a week. Not matter what! lol. I think I’ll be ok eating wise as long as I get my butt moving!

I’d like to meet people who are also into weight loss, I don’t care what plan you’re on. I believe that any ‘diet’ will work as long as you do it. :)

Here’s to a great New Year, may we all reach our goals!!
