No matter the plan... we all Blog to Lose!

152.2lbs, 2104 cals in, no workout

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).

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.
