My Weight-Loss Journal - The Ups and Downs

How Time Flies!
Mood:  not sure
Now Playing: + - + - + - + - +
Now how can they not have a mood of BORED! I am so bored.

I cannot believe six weeks have passed since I attempted to start a daily weight loss diary. One day. That went well. I have good intentions. Too much going on. Hard to keep up. Somehow I did manage to weigh 216 recently. Overeat somedays, not others, exercise some, not others. I got a pedometer. That has helped a lot. I always shoot for a minimum of 10,000 steps (that maintains) and everything over that burns. I try to average 15,000 or more. Now that the temperatures have soared to the 90s, my motivation for outside excercise has gone downhill. I was taking daily lunch walks with a coworker which made my daily walks to three plus at-home workouts. Come on Fall!!! I will continue to focus on at-home programs.

I took my measurements but haven't posted them. Maybe someday when I feel more motivated.

Work is slow and boring lately hence the all-day snacking. I start out with good healthy stuff but by 2:00 I work on things that aren't all that bad for you I just eat a lot of it! I will work out tonight. Take care of some of it.

See ya sometime.

Day One
Mood:  happy
Okay, I have tried everything and I mean JUST ABOUT everything in this world to lose weight. It just doesn't happen. I lose, yeah, a little here and there, but I get tired of the routine after a couple of weeks and in no time what little I lost comes back.

Trying something new! I already have been working out fairly regularly both aerobic and weight training. I slacked last week but will pick it up again. I have added different supplements. Today started Relacore. We'll see. It definitely makes me feel "happy". I feel a little spacey, like I'm drugged, but that wears off after awhile (until the next dose). I have some green tea supplements with caffeine. I don't do caffeine. Last night it kept me up. I will take one sooner today, to help with metabolism. I have no metabolism since my son was born. I've been working for seven years to get it up but it hasn't. Maybe these new supps. will help.

Started the morning at 222 pounds. I don't have a goal weight. When I do weight training, my weight stays the same but the inches come off so I can't base my goal or results strictly on the scale. I will take my inch measurements tonight.

Food Diary for the Day:

Whole grain toast with organic natural peanut butter
8 oz. OJ with 1 Tbls. MagmaPlus mixed in.
6 oz. organice strawberry yogurt
Lunch out: Mahi-Mahi grilled with mustard butter, rice, and snow peas
Mixed nuts/seeds: almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds
Handful of organic baby carrots, raw.
Lots of water.
Relacore: 8 a.m., 2 p.m.
Green Tea Supplement:
