Goals for December 9th

Goals for today:

• I need to get my meals planned for today.
• I need to make sure I include 6 glasses of water, 2 dairy, and 5 fruits and veggies!
• I need to start exercising 30 minutes a day even if it is two 15 minute sessions.
• I need to learn how to eat so much food, I know that I am suppose to eat 35 points a day and that to lose weight I really need to do that, but I have been having a hard time eating that much food. I think that adding in my dairy will help some.
• I need to research some WW recipes online and that a friend sent me and try get a menu for dinners next week.

I have been doing really good and I feel really good. I really am not feeling that starving feeling anymore. I think that is because I have figured out my bad times and what I can eat. I drink some water after dinner but I don't eat anything after dinner.I checked out some WW books from the library that I am going to start reading too, most are just cookbooks.

A funny from yesterday. I did my 15 minute power walk and the twins as usual did it with me. I decided that I was not going to do another 15 minute session. Later that day, one of my twins brought me the video asking if we could watch it. Lol, even my twins are trying to help me!

I had a yummy dinner!

Well some of you that know me know that I love to cook and share recipes. I plan to do that on this blog too!

I had a yummy dinner and even my kids ate it, well my oldest won't eat any veggies so he did not eat it. Here it is the recipe.

Very YUMMY dinner and I feel full.

I need to just get this over with...

I need to tell you all how much I weigh. Now first I will tell you that nobody ever believes me when I tell them how much I weigh. When the nurses weigh me at the doctor, I tell them where to move the scale to and they say no way and I say yes! Monday morning I weighed myself and I weighed 323.8 pounds. No one in the Biggest Loser contest even weighs close to that. But that is me and I got to accept that that is my starting point. When you all see my pictures you won't believe it either but that is my weight. I come from a family of women who have weight problems. I weighed 299 when I brought my last baby home almost 1 year ago, so I have gained about 20 pounds in one year. Ouch! I know I can do this though! I have made that decision. My doctor told me that I should join WW, but you know WW cost money and I really don't have enough of that right now, so I researched WW online and I really seem to like it so far, I got a few things I need to work on but overall I like it. The support you all are giving me really helps me. Thanks so much for visiting and I plan to help all of you too by visiting your weight loss blogs. If I don't have you linked on my sidebar please let me know where to find your blog so I can give you support too. Hope you all have a great day!

Exercise Log for Jan 8th

Well a friend of mine, Liz, has shared with me her experience with WW. She taught me a little bit about how you earn extra points for activity. I need to do my exercise for at least 30 minutes to get some points for activity. I have been doing a Walk off the Pounds video that I checked out from the library. It is a 15 minute Power Walk. So I need to also do it one more 15 minute session, but I really want to get used to the 15 minute power mile walk first. I was able to get my mile done today. My leg muscles are really hurting though and it was hard to get through the whole thing, but I did . I think I am going to do baby steps on the exercise thing. So, I want to get used to doing the 15 minute mile and then I will work up to doing 2 miles a day. Anyways, that's my Exercise log for today! How's everyone else doing with exercise. What do you all do to exercise? When do you exercise?

A New Day

I feel like I did really well yesterday, but I did have some hard times too. I learned that my really hard time is from 3-6. I seem to want to snack during that time. So, since I have the points I want to try to make sure today that I get a snack during that time so I do not feel as hungry. I ate Go Lean Crunch cereal for breakfast and it is suppose to make you less hungry and I really did not feel hungry in the morning at all. Maybe it is because at lunchtime I am eating a frozen weight watcher meal and it is just little. They are good though, but man they are like 8 points. Well the box says they are 8 points, but when I put the nutrition facts into the calculator, it says 7 points so I may have figured it wrong or something. Remember I don't know everything about WW. Anyways yesterday, I just got some fruit and ate it. So, I will try to remember to be more careful during that time of day and plan better. I am a planner and list maker! I do not start my day without having a plan of what I am going to eat, I think that really helped me yesterday. Actually I log it into a post and play with it all day as to what I really eat and for the most part I ate what I had on my list. I did not plan snacks yesterday and I think that is where I got into trouble. So we shall see how it goes.
I also need to post my before picture. Dh was suppose to take it last night but he got busy. So, tonight for sure. I really have never told anyone how much I weigh except my doctor, so that is just going to be hard for me. I'll hopefully be back later to post that picture and then all of you will see why this is so important to me!
Oh and something really funny is happening on this blog. This morning I got up and noticed that in my header, my ladies have lost their heads and feet. Could it be they are already shriking or what is going on? lol! Do you all see the ladies heads in the header?
Update: I think I fixed the ladies for now. lol
