Dieting this week wasn't great. We are having a problem setting our schedule for eating. I know it's not about dieting but about lifestyle changes. Something I feel that we are struggling with. I did lose 2 lbs this week, but I am not sure how I did.

 

Still haven't started an exercise program. Annie and I are off most of next week and hopefully we can look at getting better at it, but we are moving and other things, I know excuses, excuses.

 

We need to stop with the excuses and just start and get on track....

How come I can't remember Thursday? Except that we weight in and Greg lost 2 pounds and I lost 0

 

Whats up with that?

 

I personally have alot of stress right now. Between moving, work, and fertlity medication I dont know... We find out next Thursday that if the medication worked. I hope so much it did.. I want to be skinny, but I would be fat the rest of my life if it meant I could have kids... Maybe not the right mentality.

 

We haven't really talked about whether or not we are going to do a second cycle after this one. Do we continue to do the fertlity meds and work on our weight? Or do we concentrate on the weight and hope the pregnancy comes later? Or even start our adoption process? Which we planned on starting in June of 08 again. But should we start it earlier?

 

I don't know, In my perfect world, I would be healthy, have my own house (we are working on that now) and it would be filled with kids, atleast four. 

 

Unfortnetly its not a perfect world, and while that maybe a reality for me someday. Right now its not.

Tuesday I didn't do so good on my diet... either did greg!

 

We've been trying to stick to calories, 1500 for me 1800 for greg.

Tuesday night because it was fast Greg made us ravoli out of a can...  1000 calories... he didnt tell me till after I ate it.

 

SO the whole time we watched biggest loser I did squats and curls...

 

Weds was better!

We ate breakfast..... and let me tell you I was full til about 1230ish.. then I had a bag of combo's :(

for supper, I had seen this buger at applebees called the quesidilla burger and it looked so good. so we tried to do our own turkey burger version... and it was mmmmm soooo good, and sooo filling!

We had two each about 1/4lb  Greg mixed them with some garlic pepper and then fried them. He also made some turkey bacon. We took 8 inch tortillias i put some cheese on them and then pickles. The bacon and burger then some more cheese and another tortillia shell and we baked them for about 10 minutes and omg they were soooo good! I put a teaspoon of ketchup and mustard on mine...  I also did a mexican one with olives salsa and a teaspoon of sour cream....  next time no olives!

 

Breakfast- nada

Snack 100 Calorie pack

Lunch South Beach Breakfast Bar

Supper Homemade pizza---sooooo good

            Toasted ravoli

 

No real exerise I worked til 7ish and just felt icky and tired and starved after work...

 

 

Yesterday was Saturday and we went to TGI Fridays and I had a turkey burger and fries. I had one fried mac and cheese, I did pretty well, we went to the bowling alley last night and I had a hot ham and cheese and again french fries. I am looking forward to next week, because we have things more structured. We don't have that on the weekend and it's harder for us to do. I plan on going to the Y tomorrow and at least doing a little on the treadmill and elipse machine. We will see how the food thing goes....

 

Today wasn't the greatest I didn't eat anything until like 11 and then it was corn chips and frozen pizza around 3 or 4 and we haven't had supper yet, and I don't think we are going to have any.... So not good food day for us.

Um not sure how we did yesturday. We took my sisters to the mall and walked and walked we were there for about  4 hours...

 

eating not so good, we went to TGIF and I had a burger and french fries. we also ordered Fried Mac N Cheese which I love!! My sisters were with so it wasn't like we ate all of them but I had one and a half.

 

I need to shave my legs so we can go to the YMCA!

 

I did try on pants yesturday because I need them sooo badly but I am in between sizes and the 22 were snug and the 24 fall off my hips... YEAH!!!! I didn't buy anything because I just had this feeling and I was right

 

because we got a call about a house and we have to send him some money to put down asap. I am sooo freaking excited!!!! I just hope we can get our taxes done soon!

We went shopping last night and I think we did really well. We have our meals planned out, and it is a variety, I think that will be important. I will start the Y on Monday and hopefully loose 7 more lbs. We will see. I would be happy with more, but I don't want to set my goals to high and fall short and get frustrated. MOre to come soon, actually hopefully less of me to come soon, LOL.

Well I did good... for the most part...

We had a Packers Pigout at work. and oh the smell of the hot dogs and mexican hotdish and cocktail wieners was just soooo tempting. But I didn't touch one single thing besides my SouthBeach Bar. :) I am so proud I resisted temptation!

 

Now for supper I didn't do so good. We went to Applebees and I had the apps sampler.  :( I got sick from it though, I think cause all week we ate home cooked healthier meals and then all the grease and rich foods just was a shock. I dont know maybe...

 

We also went grocery shopping, and read lables we actually read them.  So thats a BIG step for us... 

 

No real exercise though :( thats the bad thing!

 

I had a typeo eairler my starting weight was 275 not 285. I lost 7 lbs. That's good considering we didn't eat the best and weren't very active, but when we start at the Y next week and eating better we will start burning those lbs!!! I am looking so forward to 190 lbs. but first I would be happy with 250 and now I an 7 lbs closer!!

Yesturday I did medium

 

I had a Southbeach Bar 140 Calories

Lots of water through out the day

Supper I had Toasted Ravoli from Olive Garden

Salad

With Ice Water to drink.

 

When I got home I as kind of bored and I wanted to start to snack but I stopped myself and went for a walk with my dog. 

 

This morning I wieghed in at 260. However my scale is always five pounds less then my doctors scale. SO I lost about five pounds this past week. I can't say Im not happy with that.  I wish I could drop like 10 in a week. Maybe we when start doing this hardcore!

 

My Goal tonight is to walk completely around our block.  Our block is shaped funny its not a normal block, we have a school and a church as well as about 25 houses on it. I am going to measure the distance. I hope it stops snowing and people sholve their sidewalks so we aren't slipping all over the place.

 I think Garfield's theory is correct, I feel that my stomach is to plotting to take over the world. I fight this as Superman would Lex Luthor. Smart!  Hopefully I will get better into the swing of things soon.

 

                                              

Our lifestyle has to change, we need to eat more, we don't eat enough and when we do eat we eat to much and later in the evening. Not good for us at all. I talked to my mom tonight, she suggested a protien drink in the morning and a lean cuisine or weight watchers meal for lunch and a sensable dinner. We have to start something. We had a membership to the YMCA all last year, and we used it maybe twice, but I don't think we even used it that much. Paying $60.00 a month for esentially nothing. We want to get into a couple of classes, but I have to work that around my work and school schedule. But I have to figure it out or I may have a heart attack before I am 35. I know it scares Annie and I want to work on it, especially with my family history. We will get there, but it is slow going for now.

 

 

This song connects with me on so many levels. I want a baby so badly... I want to be a parent badly.

This is one of the biggest reasons I need to Change my life. With the PCOS is near impossible to have a baby

without losing atleast alittle of the weight...

 

 

Today I did.. not great but not bad either

 

I had

Southbeach bar 140 calories

cola 160

and some chili,,,

 

 

We did go for a walk but not a real long one.

 

We need to get a better system figured out. mY right hand hurts so bad right now. if I touch it wrong or lean on it wrong or do one pushup it hurts... wtf?

 

 

Well we had problems with our site this weekend, my awesome wife, had to create a new space for us, because we were unable to access our other site. I didn't do well in eating at all this weekend, still fast food and such. Annie and I need to sit down and make up a menu, shop for those items and actually stick to the menu. We always make up the menus but never stick to them. We get home, for example tonight at 7:30 p.m. and didn't feel like making anything so we heated up the chili we made yesterday and I had two helpings. Something else that I am doing wrong is not eating breakfast, and really no lunch, we usually eat one meal a day and it's just eaiser to run by McDonalds. We have to get in better form for us to get into the shape we dream of. Any sugesstions on how with the hetic schedules that we can still eat right and exercise like we need to so we can lose this weight?

Today I had

 

South Beach Peanut Butter Snack Bar 140 calories

Oreo Thin Crisps 100 Calories

Cola 160

water water water

Chili

 

For exercise I didn't do to much, I did run and chase my dog.
