First post is just going to contain my history. I have wanted to lose weight for many years now. It all started when I was 16 and I began having seizures. They put me on medications and I went from 98 pounds to 141 pounds in about two months. Even though I was overweight, it looked good on me. I could have toned up a little, but my belly was mostly flat and I had some definition to it. Then, I got pregnant and went from 141 to 165. That is pretty much the weight I have stayed at, but I did gain 5 more pounds here recently when I fell off the wagon.
I have gotten back on track, quit drinking all drinks except for an occassional diet drink, and am eating healthier. I have made it back down to 165, but my goal is to get down to 115 at the highest. My healthy weight range for my height is 95 to 105, but I am aiming for 115 right now. I actually set it into smaller 5 pound loss goals.
I have been doing good the past couple of days. I like to make 2 or 3 goals a week and strive to accomplish them. I weigh in on Mondays. The past couple of nights, I have given up my usual potato at work for a salad. I work seven days a week so you figure I eat a potato every night at work, that is a lot of baked potatos. So, I actually had four goals this week and they were:
1. Lose 1 pound
2. Give up the diet drinks (they give me headaches)
3. Switch from sweet tea to unsweet tea with splenda (I drink a lot of tea at work)
4. Quit eating baked potatoes every night at work
My week for these goals ends on Monday so I will document how it all went then.
My exercise for today was not too much, today was kind of a rest day because we got up early to go get a chest x-ray for my hubby and then we got home and I fell back asleep. And, I have to be at work tonight at 3 so, I will do a lot of walking there.
