As I said earlier I was suppose to go out tonight, that didn't happen. Came home from work exhausted and with a wicked headache. Ate dinner and sat on the couch and fell asleep. That headache is still here and I'm awake sitting here feeling sorry for myself.
I watached some of 20/20 tonight about weight loss, people who have lost over 100 pounds and those who have lost and gained. Welcome to that club! It made me think though, why do some of us work and work at losing weight, do so and are so happy with ourselves only to put it all back on and more in some cases? Why are others so successful at keeping it off?
I don't know why I'm one of those that keep fighting, losing, gaining and repeating the cycle. I read all these other people's blogs about losing weight and I relate to them. I'm desperate.....I mean really desperate. The more I try to get myself in the zone the more I crave sweets, am so damn tired, so damn down that I can't shake it!
Tomorrow I am going to have my 2 hr sugar test done, not looking forward to it. I freaking hate needles....getting one gives me heart palpatations never mind having one, drinking this freaking icky sugary drink then having another blood test in two hours! It sucks!!!! After that I am going to look into purchsing a polar heart monitor/calorie burner type watch. This way when I work out next week, I can see how many calories I've burnt off.
Ok I am going to try to get some sleep, shake off this headache and try to get my head in a better place.

Friday!!!!!
I honestly thought I posted yesterday!!! Guess I'm losing my mind, I just wish I could lose weight as fast as I do memory cells lol.
I really have to say that I am so happy that it's Friday! Not so happy that this Sunday my girls are heading back to school. I am going to miss them so much. I hate when they aren't home. My husband says that I go overboard, but I can't help it. The house is alive when they are home. It's so quiet when they aren't.
As far as food I'm doing ok. Stayed within my points, but I think I have to make my portions somewhat smaller. The problem is that I feel hungry all the time! I haven't worked out because quite honestly I've been exhausted. That will change next week. Tuesday is gym day.
I'm really looking forward to Tuesday for another reason all together, I'm hoping to get a new job, it's a lateral transfer but it's out of where I am and after 20 some odd years here at the same office, it's time to move on!! So wish me luck!
Heading out tonight for a friend's birthday, will eat before I go out, and I'm not a drinker so that cuts down on the calorie count lol.
Until next time keep working it!

Day 2
Today is starting off pretty good, I woke at 5:15 am. Didn't feel like going into work but then when do I ever! lol. I showered and went downstairs to get my lunch together. I had most of it done as I did some last night. Made my breakfast and headed into work. What I would like to know is why when I'm home I'm never hungry. I come into work and I'm freaking starving!!!! I already ate breakfast, then I had some of my fruit and now I've had more of my fruit. I take lunch in an hour so I'm not dipping into my goody bag again until then. lol. I will be able to leave at 4 pm today, hopefully get home with enough daylight to take the dog out and get at least a half hour walk in. If not then I am going to get my butt downstairs and on that treadmill!
At work there is a group of women who last year did like a biggest loser. Each person puts in 5.00 at the start, then if you lose weight you don't pay, if you gain or stay the same you pay a dollar. So I've given in my 5.00. I figured it's more of an incentive. At the end you could win a nice pot, if your the Biggest Loser! lol Well at the end of this year that Money is MINE! I intend to be the biggest loser plus I have more to lose then the rest of the girls lol.
I'll most likely post again tonight. I keeps me in focus.

Day 1 - January 1 2013
Ok here we are!!! I've been good as far as my food consumption. Stayed within my points on WW. Still have 8 points left, I probably will be having another yogurt shortly and thats it for the night. I came across this on the WW site and figured why not post this on my blog!
| (Location) GEORGETOWN, ON (Name) Yvette L's New Year's Resolution It's a new year for a new me! This year, I will LOSE WEIGHT. I'm doing it for MYSELF, because I want to feel GOOD ABOUT MYSELF. I want to look GREAT. And I want to know that I'M HEALTHY. This is the year I'll make it happen. I know it won't be easy, but this is the year I'll overcome the things that have stopped me in the past, such as BEING LAZY, GIVING UP, and TOO HIGH EXPECTATIONS. This is the year I'll dedicate myself to my weight loss journey. I'll do whatever it takes to make it to my goal and stay there, including JOURNALING MY FOOD, WORKING OUT, and MAINTAINING A GOOD ATTITUDE TOWARDS MYSELF I'm resolved, and I'm going to do it: This is the year I'm going to make my dream come true, my dream to BE HEALTHY, HAPPY, AND THINNER. This is the year! Signed: Yvette L  Starting Weight: 240.00 |
