Starting a commitment to myself for this workout. I do 30 minutes on recumbent bike, 30 minutes on elliptical, ab workout, stretching, and sometimes arm strength training. Takes about 2 1/2 hours. I am lovin' it. I play certain songs to get me to a higher exertion level. I really am getting into the music, too. It makes it fun to kinda move to the music on the elliptical, though I am sure I make some onlookers laugh. It also makes time go faster. I once ...

(Stressed out today. Having a meltdown. Am hopeful, last meltdown resulted in 12 pound loss--A YEAR AGO.)
I am so mad at everything food. It's always about the food, eating it, preparing it, serving it, cleaning up after it, shopping for it, not having it, having it, church suppers, family get togethers, girl scout meetings, school parties...AAAHHHHH! Always the food.
When am I going to ever make it about me? I see it. I w...

Well, today is my birthday. Happy birthday to me. I am hoping to give myself a good workout today, and the opportunity to make it a step further on this journey. I love the way that I can feel my abs after working out when I go to practice and sing. It gives me more control over my air, therefore my vocals are better, edgier, more precise. I thought about how losing weight will make me feel better about how I look when I perform, and my overall confidence on stage, ...

Okay, so my week started out wierd. If the church hadn't sent all those pies home with us, I wouldn't have had a problem.....right?!?! So the church DID send home many wonderful pieces of pie home with us, it was all downhill after the luncheon. A blessing, but nevertheless a test--one I failed at miserably. And, so for two days, I kept eating some pie here, some there, and I have no idea how many calories I consumed....suffice to say, I earned my way back to my starting ...

It is so great to use the food tracker. I know I want to hit about 400 calories each for 3 meals and 1 snack. Even though I went ahead and had the pb cookies (habit) I can just skip the afternoon snack, and still be ok. Maybe a sloppy plan, but a plan. It makes such a difference to be able to log what I consume and have this wonderful tool to tell me calorie, fat, protein, carb, and any other kind of count I'd want to know.
