I'm back...I gotta get back on track.
Jun 30, 2012
So i began the title as I am back. Well I am back in so many ways. I am back to being not pregnant. I am back home from being on bed rest when i was pregnant. I am back to wanting to make that 100 losers list...I am back to OH. The question is my will power back to being able to achieve my weight loss goals? There are pros and cons to each side of that coin, but what really matters right now is taking the steps to get back right. So here I am. I having been trying to "start" in may ways and "places", but right now I feel this may be the writing it out may be a great way to get my will power and accountability on track. I think OH blog would be good b/c in so many ways the ppl here understand my toils and achievements. There are also so many tools to help me stay on track. The key is me. I just noticed I mentioned tools. That's exactly what everything is: tools. I must begin to use the tools again. I have more than others. Some ppl are waiting and/or wanting surgery. That is/was a huge tool for me to gain. Now I must use it to the best of my ability. So anyways, I am going to try to use this blog to express how I feel thus holding me accountable and thus help me submit to my weight loss goals. There is no set plan for me to abide by, so work with me. I'm trying.OK so I am currently weighing 218 lbs, When I had the surgery I went from 300 lbs to 168 lbs. I had a baby and ended up around 186, which i enjoyed, and then had another baby like eight mos later. So again I am at 218 lbs. Now these weights are without any exercising since i was unable to do so in both pregnancies and have recently been released to do so since having the last baby. I eat very very unhealthy for a person who has surgery, but on a healthier side than the avg non surgery obese person. Is that even possible if they are obese???? uhhh nah lol. So my will power has to come in the form of controlling what I eat, how I eat and exercising.
For my first step of the plan, I have initiated tools to help with the exercising. I am a bit limited on the food tools though. I think in that area, I must work with proportion and less refined sugar control. I am taking my multivitamins. I think I am OK with my proteins and my labs. This blog hopefully will help with accountability even if its just talking to myself, which it really is lol. So again, will power and the act of doing is the key.
OK so let me start. Hmmmm. What is a good goal for today? Start tomorrow and formulate a plan? Humph, how about I go for a 30 min walk outdoors. Nothing power, but something to get done. As for toning, I am going to start with 20 refined -push ups and sit ups and two sets of upper body toning. All this I know I can do with ease, its just the fact of doing it. Man, I remember a time when I COULD NT EVEN DO THAT!!!! Blessed I am!!!! OK, back to the plan lol. For real though, that is a good example of how I easily get off task with other "thoughts". OK, so I am going to make a quick checklist and when I finish I am going to blog accomplished. Now as for the food part, the hard part. I will try to limit my calorie intake to less than 500 for the rest of the day. I am being very liberal I know. I want to also limit anything I eat to less than 20g of sugar. I need to research again my daily limits. Ill put my expectations in my blog later. OK, gotta go. To even get the exercise part done, i have 2 babies and one 8 yr old to manage.
I also want to say to myself, that this weight loss goal is a lifestyle change not a quick fix. I acknowledge that, but I must embody that as a mantra. Also, along with the weight loss, getting my household in order will help keep my other goals in order. Also, Rome was not built overnight. And when it was it was transformed through time. Rome will always be Rome, but some parts are gone, er roded, built upon, and destroyed by man and nature. Rome is me.
