In Praise of Letting Yourself Go

Good morning after a tough night with a bad #headache and period cramps. I was pleased to see 247 on the #scale. Tonight I'll be going to a party. I'm going to eat and drink and enjoy it, not too much because I work tomorrow but I intend on having fun. Happy #NYE Tomorrow it's #newyearnewme #newyearresolution #weightlossjourney #weightloss #backontrack Oh and I'm not tracking food in #mfp #myfitnesspal today because I want my log-in streak to match the new year. Silly and #cliche I know but my #success plan is mine!

Good morning! A very brisk morning here, frost on the ground and fog in the air. I should have worn another layer of clothes for my quick #walk Feeling good to be moving and grooving again! #weightloss #weightlossjourney #pacer #pacerapp #countingsteps #movingmore #foggy #foggymorning #newyearnewme #walkforweightloss

So my goal was to simply maintain my weight trough Christmas and here it is a couple days later and I'm within my maintain range. Ramping up to start on #newyear as cliche as it is #newyearnewme #newyearresolution My #vertigo has eased up and I'm looking forward to getting active again. #nsv I walked about 20 mins this morning and tossed out a bunch of leftover #pie #cookies #fudge etc! I've really missed being on track and I'm more than ready!

Breakfast in bed. Threw up everything I ate/drank last night. Taking today off work #sick to just lay still until I go to the doctor later. Hoping I can keep some @vitaminwater and crackers down . #makeitstop #theroomisspinning #sick #weightlossjourney on pause. Although I did lose 8lbs yesterday in water. #dehydrated

So My #weightloss has #plateaued lately and haven't been able to focus 100%. I've decided to make my goal to simply maintain 248-250 through Christmas. Then jump back into gear for the new year. I'll be going to the #gym 2 days a week still and watching #portions and limiting #sweets. I'm still on my #weightlossjourney just having a layover in #christmastown

Didn't post this last night #latergram because I had to get to bed for work early today. I was curious so I asked the guy at the #gym how many times I had come and he said 25! And coincidentally it was also my 2 month #gymaversary #nsv #nonscalevictory #weightloss #workout #gym #fitness #physiq #elliptical #cardio #milestone

Ate too much #pizza hanging out with friends today. Seriously pizza is my nemesis! Worked hard at the gym after though! A couple times today I thought my legs looked #slimmer, once in the thighs and another glance at my calves seemed more #toned. #weightlossjourney #weightloss #workout #gym #fitness #physiq #elliptical #cardio

Happy Saint Nicolas Day! We love learning about different cultures and how they celebrate holidays throughout the year, so we thought we would put our shoes out last night to see if #stnicholas would leave us treats or potatoes and coal. #stnick must know hubby and I are on a #weightlossjourney since he left @fiberone 90calorie packs and @gogosqueez applesauce for us! #countingcalories #eatingbetter #fooddiary

Random small breakfast I was able to grab quickly. I've been slacking on tracking every bite and haven't been able to get to the gym. My plan for today: 1300 calories, 100oz water and Wii fit (or Wii Zumba if I can't get my balance board to work.) #backontrack #countingcalories #weightloss #weightlossjourney #babybel #turkeyhotdog

Working at my retail sit down job for 12.5 hours (minus 3 half-hour lunches) meant I wouldn't have time for the gym if I wanted to see my kids or get anything done around the house. So for the first 5 mins of my first 4 breaks I jog/walked. I also used my under desk pedaler or walked laps in the house between calls at one point when I was caught up in my work. Every step counts. #workfromhome #walkforweightloss #walk #burningcalories #weightlossjourney #weightloss #workout #pedometer #pacerapp #pacer #countingsteps

I'm upstairs working and Hubbys got the football game on downstairs for a few friends. MIL made chili. Lunch break and I literally used a measuring cup to portion it out and drank water instead of the soda or egg nog available. #facingtemptation #fitfam #cuttingcalories #mfp #myfitnesspal #trackingfood #cutieoranges #weightloss #weightlossjourney #chili
Proud of my 4 year old. I mentioned yesterday that I had to work all day (I work from home) starting early today and she took a pumpkin cookie (with whipped cream) upstairs (thanksgiving dinner was down in our shop) and prepared me a breakfast plate and left it in the fridge for me. Apple cheese stick and #pumpkincookie was the perfect #breakfast. #teachinggoodeatinghabits #goodeatinghabits #leftovers #healthychoices #fooddiary #eatingbetter #weightlossjourney #weightloss #cuttingcalories

Yummy #healthyfats #healthychoices #fooddiary #eatingbetter #weightlossjourney #weightloss #cuttingcalories #mfp
Went to the #gym last night before #datenight with the hubby. Thinking positive I packed a shirt that I had not been able to wear before because it was too small. It fits now! Sadly however my #boobs are shrinking. #weightlossjourney #weightloss #workout #gym #fitness #physiq #elliptical #cardio #burningcalories #burnthebird
Forgot to post my #leftover #sweetpotato #proteinpancakes I made yesterday. They were really yummy! Little soft inside, and crisp on the outside. Didn't need any butter or syrup. #earlythanksgivingleftovers #thanksgivingleftovers #healthychoices #fooddiary #eatingbetter #weightlossjourney #weightloss #cuttingcalories #mfp

No picture worthy pics today but I stayed on calorie. I think the massive amounts of cough drops and lemon in my tea has torn up my stomach because it was really upset today. I did end up eating plenty, and not the healthiest choices (1.6 short stacks of ritz crackers between 2 snacks) , but didn't do too bad. Chose 6 inch ham at subway over everything in the deep fried deli case at Walmart that looked good.

I couldn't wait for #transformationtuesday to share this. When I couldn't button these pants a few months back I decided to use it as a "before" picture opportunity. Came across them yesterday and they fit! Not quite comfortable but very exciting! #weightlossjourney #weightloss #workout #gym #fitness #physiq #elliptical #cardio #healthychoices #fooddiary #eatingbetter #cuttingcalories #mfp #losingweight #myfitnesspal #burningcalories

Yes. #pizza and #salad again. Limited myself to 2 slices of #littlecaesars + 1TBLS ranch on salad = about 720 #calories I haven't felt great all day so I could afford a bigger dinner. #healthychoices #fooddiary #eatingbetter #weightlossjourney #weightloss #cuttingcalories haven't been able to log food today because #mfp is acting up, #grrrr

Moved to Instagram
SO I have gotten on and off this train so many times, I couldnt count. But I am on the train again and I have started an Instagram just for my weightloss stuff. Stuff I would have had on this blog is easier to post on IG, and I can follow others too..

Day 1 (again)
Today is titled: "How to come in under calorie goal while eating the same foods as before "
I weighed basically everything. Measured most the rest.
Rather than dirty cups and spoons I weigh most things with a handy dandy kitchen scale to get portions.
Cereal milk lunch meat chips coffee creamer trail mix salsa and chili (I even brought my kitchen scale to the football party in our shop to weigh the party food I ate.)
Usually I make a large pile of nachos with lots of nacho cheese and shredded cheese and chili and whatever else looks good. Then later I would have a chili dog and whatever brownies cookies etc and soda or fruit punch.
I got lucky that for the first party of the year I worked during the football party and only came down to eat/nurse the baby on my breaks. So I wasn't temped to snack through the boring game. After work I took advantage if my mil having the kids to clean house.
I sent home nearly an entire tray of mini cinnamon rolls with a friend for his nearly teenager.
I ate 1 brownie. I LOVE brownies. I only ate 1. I suggested to my mil that we should toss the leftovers but she decided to take them to work.
After cleaning house for an hour we needed dinner. Fil wanted fast food. Mil and I decided on salads. I drive through jack in the box and got us salads. They forgot the little crunchy things, which is fine because I wasn't going to eat them anyway, while I had calories remaining I was out of sodium.
I refilled my big water cup on each break. And drank water on the way home from getting dinner and while eating dinner.
So even though I ate the normal every day food, I changed my habits by lowering portions.
Oh and I was much less lazy today. I offered to take the trash out and walked one lap around the house. (It was 28 degrees Fahrenheit, or I would have done more) I did this 2x. I also didn't hesitate to run up and down the stairs for things either.
Day 1 was good.
