At The Gym....

So this morning I met with a trainer at 24 hr fitness. She was really great and helped me organize my thoughts about my goals. We talked about nutrition which is my biggest hurdle. The working out part has caught a hold of me and I enjoy it now. If I miss it I feel crappy. My biggest hurdle right now is food. The past few weeks I have done less than stellar in the healthy eating department. So, what I am doing is running my butt off just to maintain my weight and that is no good. Ive got to get a hold of my food intake. If I were eating right, I would have lost so much more weight by now. It is so frustrating. I wish I had a personal chef to make meals for me so I would have to think about it. Anyway, my weight loss for September is pathetic....only 1 pound! for the whole month! It should have been at least 7 so I need to get on the ball......

We are what we eat. I hope you don't take that the wrong way. It is motivating to me. I try to tell myself that when faced with junk. Do I want to look like a jelly donut? Do I want to look like have candy bars pasted to my hips. It's working for me at the moment. Kindof weird, huh?

Hey Vanessa,
Don't get discouraged! Just take one day, one second at a time. Just look at how far you have come. WOW!!!! My biggest thing right now is that I am trying to quit the regular coke/pepsi. I have tried the diet sodas, but it triggers a migraine. I have cut my pop intake down to 1-2 a day and no more. More than I need I know. I try to exercise the calories for that pop off but by the time I get home from work, I am too exhausted to do anything.

A saying that helps me with food is,: A moment on the lips is a lifetime on the hips. So far, I have lost about 35pounds. It's just soooo hard to lose it. After I had my daughter, I am having an extremely hard time getting the weight off again. I am now on year 5. But I will keep on trying.
You will never fail, if you don't quit or give up.

Well I could go on and on.. Just hang on and don't quit. YOU Can do it. I have some great Weight WAtcher recipes if you want them.

Catch ya later,
