Ok, Im in a Better Mood today.....

Im feeling better after my little tizzy on the last post. I lost 4 pounds this week! Isnt that awesome. I finally decided on an eating plan that works for me.....at least now. Im drinking slim fast shakes for breakfast and lunch and eating a balanced dinner....plus I eat a snack during the day. Either a Fiber One bar or some fruit. Its easy. No thinking. No counting. No trying to figure out what to eat. And apparently it works for me! I even bought a pair of jeans today at Old Navy and I havent been able to do that for quite some time! YES! Im feeling much better today.

Im So Confused!!!!!......

Can I just tell you how much I HATE dieting. Not because I cant shove handfuls of bread, cake, and tacos in to my mouth whenever the mood strikes me (which is often).....not because I have to watch the things I eat and how much I am eating. Not even because it is soooooo boring.... I hate it because I have no idea how to do it. Which diet to follow, which works the best for my body, which is the best one for my lifestyle.....etc. It is so freakin confusing that I just want to give up. Then I have to be married to a man who just has to skip a meal and he loses 2 pounds a day practically when I struggle to lose just 1 a week. I really sucks. I started out with the CAD which worked great the first week but then not only did it slow down, but I got soooooo sick of eating salad and eggs. I had to stop. Then I thought I would try straight protein....like the Atkins diet because I am desperate to get 10 or 15 pounds off so my running wont be so torturous. Well that lasted a day or two and I was done. I cannot do that diet anymore. So, where am I now you ask? I am doing slim fast for 2 meals and then eating a balanced dinner. I started this a few days ago and have lost almost 3 pounds. Im just going to stay with this one no matter what because it is easy. I dont have to think about what I am going to fix. I just drink one and Im done. So this morning I hit 239. Finally I am below 240. It has taken forever to get back there. I'd like to get off another 10 pounds between now and the middle of September. If only I could average 10 pounds per month. Im going to try!!

No Excuses.....

Ok, I have been following the Carbohydrate Addicts program with great results. I started it last Thursday (not 2 days ago, but last week). I have lost 5 pounds so far in one week. It hasnt been easy. Im pretty sick of eggs and salad. But I LOVE getting up everyday and seeing a loss on the scale. I know it is going to be short lived.....as with any diet the first couple of weeks work great but then it slows down. However, it has been nice getting the weight I gained back off quick. I havent gotten my exercising up to par yet. I had excuses at first that were really important...... No water bottle.....I need an armband for my ipod first...... Well, now I have both, so no more excuses. I walked a mile and a half last night. Im feeling back in the game.
