Finding ONEderland

It's been while since I posted. I wanted to post but it doesn't seem to have been happening. It is hard to sometime bring myself to use my computer at home after sitting in front of one for 8 hours and there are days that it is too busy here at work for me to take time to write anything. Time to move past that and work to find the time to update....not that anyone is reading but it matters to me in getting all this out....this blog is for me after all and to help me lose the weight. Another thing I need to do is post to my blog first and then go read the blogs I read afterwards.

As far as weight goes I have lost and I have gained. My doctor told me I lost 3 pounds over the Christmas holidays. I was suprised....seems it must have been a good week during my visit to her. I will go into WW and one week I lose and another I gain back. I know it's because I am having such a hard time getting myself back on track and then staying there once I do. I also am having a problem with feeling well enough to exercise....this is a major problem cause if I was execrising regularly everything else would fall in to place better just because I would feel better.

I have had some good days. I have got a few workouts in. I made taco soup which was low point and very good. I decided that the fitday program was very good but not sure that I will use each part of it....however it is a great program.

My best friend ordered me a book as a late Christmas present. It's the Superfoods HealthStyle. I need to check with her today and see if that came in....I am really looking forward to reading it. I know FatBlogger has had wonderful things to say about the book. Each time I would read something I just couldn't wait to get my copy of the book.

During the last week I started to use a hypnosis cd a friend made for me. She just got her certification and I am one of her first subjects. It has helped me to sleep better. I think it has helped me to make some better choices food wise which is one of the main things it focuses on. I'm going to keep trying it and see how it goes.

So I face the music and get my butt on the road to a happier healthier me.

I made it into Curves once last week. It had been a while since I had been. My plan for this week is to make it to Curves to work out at least 3 times this week. I really need to get myself into some regular exercise. It's hard to believe how far I have fallen back on doing that. I use to workout, walk, hike or do something almost every day. And I felt good cause I did that.

I am also working on eating better. I went shopping tonight and got food to fix a whole week worth of meals. I was doing this before I got sick and it was working out well. I have the makings for taco soup, my home made gyros, baked chicken (sort of like a chicken tender but much healthier), 40 clove garlic chicken and tacos. I got a lot of veggies to use for sides. I am also thinking about making a stuffed peppers at some point.

I go to the doctor tomorrow to find out the results of heart monitor I was wearing. I also need to ask her about a mole like place on my back. I can't see it well but I think it has changed color and it feels different.

It's taken me a while since being sick to finally get back to working out. I got on the exercise bike tonight and did 18 minutes. Was how long the music was I picked out. I put a favorite song in the middle and one at the end to help me get through. Works great by the way. I am all sweaty now but feeling better. I am very proud of myself that I did it even though I was tired and have bad cramps to boot. At the 15 minute mark I heard this little voice say there you did 15 minutes but I kept going till after the music went off to make it an even 18.

I have got so out of shape conpared to what had achieved but I will get back to where I was and I WILL get even better than that.

The new year is here. I am still sick and on top of it I think I have a stomach virus. I'm trying to not be too negative however I am very tired of being sick and want my good health to return dang it. On the bright side seems I have lost 5 pounds from not being able to eat much more than cheerios and watered down gatorade. Of course I would have rather done that by watching my food and working out. I think I could enjoy it a whole lot better that way.

I need to get over it though as I got the National Body Challenge to get going on very soon. I am really looking forward to doing it and seeing how that goes. Having an 8 week time and goal set is very motivating for me. I have got so much I am looking forward to doing, I really need to get my energy back so I can get started with it all.
