I have been going to the gym, though only able to get there 1 or 2 days a week. At least it’s consistant though!!:) Adding more to my fruit smoothies in the am which makes me feel uber healthy (even if I am not..). I have to say I can run really fast and have no pain in my knees now that I have added the flaxseed oil!

I finally made it back to the gym…I am trying to go 4 days a week and with my son’s motivation, I should accomplish that. I still weigh 150 with clothes on which is means I have maintained my weight (and probably lost a pound)…that is good. I have been eating a lot better (again) and have incorporated more raw fruit and veggies into my diet though now I have to concentrate on variety. I have also added a mineral supplement to my diet because by mistake I found out that cutting back on processed food etc has left me iodine deficient!!

SO, I GUESS THIS IS THE TIME WHEN I START GETTING LAZY…THOUGH THIS TIME I RECOGNIZE THE PATTERN…I WORK OUT AND EAT GOOD FOR A COUPLE WEEKS TO A MONTH THEN SLACK UNTIL A COUPLE MONTHS GOES BY, THEN START UP AGAIN. IT WILL BE A WEEK ON THURSDAY THAT I HAVEN’T WORKED OUT. I HAVE ALSO BEEN TRACKING MY DIET AND HAVE YET TO CHANGE IT DUE TO THE LACK OF NOT KNOWING HOW. EVERYTHING I KNOW HOW TO COOK IS MORE ON THE CARBS & FAT SIDE OF THINGS…PLUS, I HAVE BEEN TO BUSY TO PRE-PLAN BEFORE I WENT SHOPPING THIS WEEK…SO, NOW THAT I POSTED THIS, AND EVERY ONE KNOWS I AM SLACKING, I HAVE TO GET MY SELF GOING…SOMEHOW…

Yesterday I tracked what I ate…then I went onto livestrong.com and did the daily plate which tracks your meals and breaks them down and I realized….a) I do not eat enough (even though I figured I needed to eat less to lose weight) and that I eat to many carbs and fats…so, now that I know this…I get to stuff my face (with good foods of coarse) and lose weight at the same time..I am feelin good about that…so, let the eating begin!!;)

I am up to running 4 mornings a week and working out at the gym 2 nights a week. I am going to start keeping a food journal becuase they say the people are more likely to lose more weight if they keep one!! I will post some progress pics soon!

My waistline that is….my daughter even commented that I lost weight and now she can hug me even closer!;) The scale said I gained a pound but what does the scale know anyway!!!

So, I entered my weight (since last night at the gym was the first time I have weighed myself in months) and my weight chart look like a big check mark…..a big check for yes your a fat ass!!

I HAVEN’T BEEN TO THE GYM LATLEY. I HAVE TO GET USED TO MY NEW WORK SCHEDULE. I AM REALLY JUST MAKING AN EXCUSE AND PLAN TO START BACK NEXT WEEK. I AM CLIMING MT. MONADNOCK TOMORROW…I HAVE LOST WEIGHT SO I AM MOTIVATED TO GET DOWN TO THE NEXT PANTS SIZE.

JUST AN UPDATE. I STARTED DRINKING COFFEE AGAIN, I AM ONLY DRINKING 1 CUP A DAY….COME TO FIND OUT COFFEE HAS MORE ANTIOXIDANTS THAN ANY OTHER FORM IN THE AMERICAN DIET….GO FIGURE

Yesterday was my last day for coffee…this will cut down on 6-8 spoonfulls of sugar plus the calories in the creamer I used. I am drinking green tea now instead, no sugar. My energy is low, and I am kinda cranky. I have still been walking as much as I can, and I am going to the gym 5 days a week doing 1/2 hr of cardio. I have upped my veggies and lowered my protien.
