Thinking Thin

2nd week

2010-05-05T15:56:00.000-07:00

So I have made it through my second week of weighing in! I lost 2.2 pounds!! Yipppeee so I am down a grand total of 4.2 pounds!! But hey that is better than nothing! I am feeling good and excited that this is working again for me! My favorite thing is that weight watchers has a mini chocolate bar out which is super good and it is only 1 point so I don't feel bad eating it and it curbs my chocolate for the day!! Hopefully I will continue to have good news each week! My goal this week is to walk more!!

So I thought I would post on here again and let you know my progress! It is hard to remember to post on here and not much happens day by day so I am going to try and post once a week.

I started weight watchers again and love it. I love to go to the meetings and have the support of others and I love the pep talk each week. It is my fresh start and reminder that I can do this! I have made it a week and a half now, but of course I will continue to go since we have to pay for it!! I have already lost 3 pounds so that is exciting!! I am on my way. I know that this will take some time, at least a year and so I am trying to stick with my smaller goals so i can make a real lifestyle change!! I am doing good and excited to be healthy and happy!!

Day 2

2010-02-25T11:07:00.000-08:00

So I started Jillian Michaels 30 day shred this week and today is day 2! I love this program. I have done this a few times before on Exercise TV, but I bought it this time so I could do the whole program. It is such a hard, but good workout and it is only 20 minutes, which I love and is really all Hannah has patients for! So once again I am going to try this out and I will keep you posted on how my progress is going!

To help me out this time I have done a few more things to keep me in check!

I have posted some quotes on our cupboards to help with snacking. For example: Nothing Tastes as good as skinny feels, Is it worth it?, and Take charge of your life! Hopefully these will help remind me!

I also will be doing weight watchers and what I eat and how much I eat back in control! I know this is a life change and I am ready, I just need to break the habit! So for the next 30 days things may be tough! But I know I can do it!! It's only 30 days!

yippeee!

So small, but happy news! I have exercised for the last 10 days..well besides sundays! I am just so happy that I have kept it up and I feel good! Although I haven't really seen any weight loss, but I feel good that I am making my body healthier!! Yipeee!

Long time

So I haven't blogged in a while, but I haven't given up! It really is hard trying to make a lifestyle change. I am trying to take small steps, like in response to my previous post, i am doing better with eating sugar. I didn't cut it out completely because I wouldn't survive without my chocolate, but I don't crave it like i used to and I know I can live without it! so one step down! Yippee!

I have also been doing workout videos at home since the weather sucks and I don't want to have to push Hannah while I run. I have been doing things off exercise tv and lately it has been Jillian Michaels 30 day shred video which is really tuff, but the best workout i have had in awhile! The only problem is that is is hurting my knees so today I took a break from it and did disco abs which is also a good workout! I feel really good everyday I am active. It makes me feel like I have accomplished something throughout the day! I haven't lost any more weight, because I slacked off over the holidays, so hopefully I will see a change on the scale soon and I will let you know! It really just feels good being active! I can't wait to feel cute in clothes again!!! Thanks for listening!

Overcoming Sugar Addiction

2009-12-12T21:59:00.000-08:00

So I have to come out of the closet on this one and let you all know that I am addicted to Sugar!! Big surprise right! I am sure most of us are, but I am coming to realize that my addiction is a little out of control. So I started reading up on tips to control it and I really liked this article. It is simple and basic, but it is what I needed. I know I can do this because I have controlled it before. The first week or two I know will be hard, but I know how good I will feel when I get over it! Wish me luck!!! and don't offer me sugar!!

5 K and more Running

2009-11-30T10:51:00.001-08:00

Well it is a new week! On Thanksgiving day I participated in my first 5 k with my mom and Andrea. Andrea did very well and ran most of the way. My mom stayed back with me since I have exercised that hard in about 3 months. We walked and ran, but we had fun and we finished! I had a lot of fun doing it and it made me want to continue running so I can join in for more races! I actually had a good time! So this morning after I got up and fed Hannah, I went on a run/walk for about 20 minutes today! I made a plan with Chris to do this each morning so he will get up with Hannah! I am excited and want to sign up for more races right now to keep me motivated!! I will be extremely slow, but if anyone wants to run with me or knows of any races let me know!!!Maybe one day I really will enjoy running! (That has always been a goal!)

why?

2009-11-23T20:53:00.000-08:00

Kim thoughts......Why is dieting so hard!? I think my biggest issue right now is that if someone offers me something unhealthy I can't say No!!! Why is that! I know I am addicted to junk, especially chocolate and I really need to stop! I know a little is okay, but I think I am pretty much over doing it!! My other issue is that Chris is not dieting, so what I would like to have for dinner is not what he would like to have for dinner! So instead of making 2 different things, I of course make what he would want! I think that is why I am so desperate for new recipes! Thank you for all who have donated ideas! They will come in to good use! On a good note I am doing wonderful with drinking enough water and I did get my walk in today! Yippee! Plus I will be doing a 3 mile run/walk with my mom and sister on Thanksgiving....i will be mostly walking, but at least I am doing it right!!!!

Kim Thoughts!

2009-11-18T10:47:00.000-08:00

So today I am feeling pretty good! I have yet to exercise, but it is only 10:30 am! I will get it done! I have a salad ready for lunch, so that will help me feel good, but I really want to make a cheese ball and i know that probably isn't the best. If only there wasn't co much chocolate in the world I would probably be a lot thinner!! But I admit what a boring life we would have without our chocolate! My real thoughts today are finding good easy quick healthy recipes I could use for lunches and dinners, that both Chris and I would like! I am drinking my water and learning to get out of the house more which always helps my attitude, plus gets me away from snacking all day!! Well those are my thoughts for the day, random but oh well!!
