No matter the plan... we all Blog to Lose!
It feels pretty lame to post those stats and have NO workout. I did paint today, the entryway and hallway in my house are now a beautiful shade of soft green. I felt like I was burning calories but it was still not a real workout. Tomorrow I will get a run squished into the day. Hubs is off work so I can go for a run without the kids, hopefully the dog doesn't die of heat stroke- it is in the 108 degree range here (in Phoenix) lately, and even by 9am the sun feels like it is roasting you.
I have been on a strange journey lately with this weight loss thing, feeling more motivated because of the extra time from summer vacation schedule, but still not doing super great. I feel like my kids' food is a huge temptation for me. I make them pb and jelly sandwiches and mac and cheese a lot, and I tend to eat theirs if they don't. Lately I have been cutting off their crust just so I can eat it. How lame. And tonight I had more than my share of mac and cheese, to blame for the calorie count. I just don't do well trying to restrict, I need to just focus on certain foods and not worry about calories. It drives me nutty to count. I keep thinking once I get a smartphone (supposed to happen next month) I will be able to have an app for calorie counting and the weight will just fall off. Huh.
I just feel like I am in these ruts with eating, and then I get down on myself and feel bad which leads to the emotional stuff, which leads to...eating. Enough already! I just need to get this figured out. Tomorrow is a new day. Nite y'all.
I am with you Alison. I have been in a rut myself for the last 6 months. I wake up most days with great resolve only to be defeated by day end. I have been searching for my old momentum that I held for so long, but I am figuring out that I need to move forward not backward. Finding new ways to cope. I will share new thoughts on my progress. I hope you will too.
Painting burns lots of calories and works your upper body and your lower body (when you squat etc).
Comment by Almost There on June 29, 2012 at 11:36am Cleaning up after the kids is a real temptation. Maybe you could put out some more fruit/veggies with their meals and you can focus on eating those--maybe they will get more of them in their diets too.
