Figuring Things Out

Apr 02, 2010

Today I got on the scale and it registered 209.  I was so shocked that I got off then got back on to see if my eyes were playing tricks on me.  Guess what....they weren't.  209 that's 209 (I am screaming right now t11.   I have not seen that number as it relates to my weight in over 12 years.  I am so DAM happy.  Just 10 more pounds before I reach onederland.  Turns out my Doc was right.  I have been working out on my treadmill at a rate of about 4.6 max doing the Weight Loss program and guess what it is really making a difference.  I think another thing that I have done has been to stop stressing about the protein, the pills and the food.  I have been taking it day to day.  I cant say that I am doing everything perfect but if I have a bad day (Bad day defined as not getting in all my protein or vitamins) I just tell myself that I will try to do better tomorrow.  One thing that I am noticing is that I have been craving chocolate alot.  I cant tell you how many times I have gone into CVS and contemplated buying some sugar free chocolate cover peanuts.  Now the sensible side of my brain tells me that the fact that I am looking at the sugar free one as opposed to the regular ones is an improvement and, I know that I can have an occasional piece of chocolate but at this point I don't know if I am strong enough to bring a whole bag of chocolate into my house, eat one and put the rest away until later (they are like a gate way drug to me) so for now I am staying away from them.  My other weakness potato chips.....OMG you don't know how much I love potato chips.  I will admit I have given into my chip craving on several occasions.  When indulging I have had 2 - 5 chips (not so bad) but I can hear this voice telling me to eat 10, 15, 20 hell the bag.  So I am working on silencing my inner voice that says "EAT THE WHOLE BAG OF CHIPS" .  Other than that things are going well.  I am enjoying my journey to a healthier me and a happier life. 
Current weight: 209
