Joy’s Weight Loss Journey

Well I talked to my hubby and he’s been working to help me; telling me NO when I’m not supposed to have things.. How sweet!

He was flipping through channels earlier so I said, “Wanna go for a walk??”  and I was utterly suprised when he said, “Sure!” So we walked 2 miles to Bilo (where he works) and then caught the bus back to see where it stops by our apartment.  It was very nice, only about a 45 minute walk so not too shabby. Woohoo! –I’m going to try to go to yoga tomorrow; we’ll see how that goes!

So, I tried out the cycling class (thanks to my Heartbreakers for making sure I did it!! )

And OMG. I am going to be sore tomorrow. I couldn’t do the exercises for as long as she wanted (1 min climbing, 1 min running on bike) but I did it until I felt my legs buuuurning.

It was hard. I think it will be a good thing to do once a week or so to push myself, and shock my body.  We also stretched afterwards.  This might sound weird, but I LOVE  stretching.. I love the feeling of it..

Afterwards, my legs felt like jello! And when I got down and sat on the bus, my abs were asking me, “WHAT ON EARTH DID YOU JUST DO TO US?!” so.. Needless to say, a good workout.

Nancy, you’ll be happy to hear I had a pre-workout apple as a snack

Tomorrow, I shall try yoga!

How do you handle it?

My hubby is incredibly sweet, and will do anything I want.  Even when I tell him, DON’T LET ME HAVE THESE THINGS, if I’m craving it, he’ll get it for me.

So, I’m wondering if I tell him “We need to talk” and we sit down and talk about it and I tell him in a different context not to let me eat those things, not to bring them in the house– will it work better? He’s been through my crying fits over my weight, things I’ve eaten, etc…He should know how upset I get over it all.

Do you all think this will work? I’m at a loss as to how to get him to really support me.

I read Jo’s Blog and it really got me motivated to move again.  I know it will help my mood.  I did decent on food today (Lean Cuisine, sandwich, cereal…) but still not the best.  Tomorrow I’m planning for:

BF : Cereal, yogurt perhaps

Lunch : Soup at Hand & Apple

Dinner: Steak & Potatoes (not the best but the steaks need cooked, plus it could definitely be worse!)

I’m also, homework permitting, going to hit the gym at about 6/7 PM tomorrow night.  Not sit around on my hiney!

Wish me all luck, make me a accountable

I’m also planning on 1. getting a calendar and stickers and 2. a piggy bank, to follow some other buddies ideas!!! Thanks all!!!!! Now I must sleep..!

I have no excuses now to eat badly.  The store I work at had some good sales this week, so I got:

2 24 packs of bottled water (this goes against my hating of water bottle waste; maybe I’ll try to recycle them.)

9 lean cuisine meals

7 Soup to go cups

12 yogurts

So, I’ve no more excuses about eating badly because there is nothing to eat!!  Hmph. (:p)

No exercise today.  Planning on going to a yoga class tomorrow (woohoo!) I think it will be fun.  I work tonight, so that’s at least a lot of walking around/standing around

I’m driving myself mad.  I’m eating poorly, not exercising, not even drinking water!

I hate hate hate city water, so I haven’t been drinking it from the tap.. so not much water AT ALL.  I’m waiting for my paycheck wednesday to buy a water filter.  sigh.

But this week so far I’ve had:

ice cream

pop

fried chicken tenders

hush puppies (good god!)

KFC Cole slaw, bbq chicken, baked beans.  grr. Hopefully this will end soon…

Hubby doesn’t want to move my treadmill and it’s making me angry.. I want it, dang it!!
