I am not using the word diet anymore. It puts undue pressure on me. I am thinking it as a lifestyle change. Which I have done. I have cut out eating chocolate all the time. I am using the food journal on this site and I exercise about daily now. I have lost 11 lbs in three weeks. I am increasing my walking by 20 percent this week. My thigh was 19″ when I started and now it is at 18″. I’ve got to work on the rest of me now. Trying to figure out how to do the exercising come winter.

I weighed myself this morning. I now weigh 181 lbs. I just need to cut the snack between work and supper.  I am really proud of myself. Just three weeks and lost 11 pounds.

Good News!!!! I have set a new mini goal.  My new mini goal is 171 lbs.

Want to be 142 by Thanksgiving.

before I reversed what I have done. I stopped doing my food journal and started reverting to old ways. I know now that I have to write everything down.

It is so hard. I am trying to exercise, work, clean house. I know that cleaning house is a form of exercise but I am feeling overwhelmed at the moment. Any Advice?

I missed a real bad yesterday. I was home sick and I think I ate everything in sight. Oh well, can’t change that. Going to get back on track today.

Today is my official weigh in. Even though I weigh in a lot. I guess I like torturing myself. I lost two more lbs. So far I have lost a total of 11 lbs since I started. Yeah for me!!!

I haven’t blogged in a couple of days. I felt that I wasn’t really saying much. I have been reading other blogs. I now have been on my diet for two weeks. I am cutting way down on my food. I have been exercising. I find it very inspirational to read the other blogs. This is a great place. No judging.

I went to the Y yesterday and worked out on a couple of machines and they kicked my butt. I walked today. I feel good about the weight I have lost. I am almost to my mini goal.

I am eating fruits and vegetables for snacks. I have totally changed what I have for snacks.

The only thing that I need to do now is cut down my intake and exercise more.

This is my first week of dieting and exercise and I lost 9 lbs. Don’t know how I did it but I did.  One thing is that I cut out all chocolate. I also cut the diet soda intake. I didn’t realize what it was doing to me. My ankles and hands are swollen any more. I am very happy with the first week.

Hoping to keep it up. I have 41 more pounds to loose.

I am thinking about joining the Y so that I can exercise without worrying about the weather.  What do you think about the Y?

I did it. I am trying to exercise more everyday. I walked .8 miles this morning. Then at lunch time I walked 1 mile. I feel fantastic and happy. This evening I plan to ride my bike. I didn’t ride my bike. I did something else instead. I ate. I can’t believe that I let myself eat because I was lonely. My husband wasn’t home and I just ate.

I had such a good day yesterday until I came home. I don’t know what happened. I am going to have to be more careful. I want to lose the weight.

I feel so happy that I lost 6 but I’m heading for the same bad habits. I only been doing this a week.

Thanks for letting me vent.

I am going to do this. I know I can. It was just a down day.

Yesterday, I was really bored. It was to hot to do anything. I didn’t exercise on Friday after all. My husband and I went out. We didn’t get home until after 9pm. But I made up for it a little yesterday by mowing the grass. I waited until dusk to do it though. Mostly sat around the house and watched tv. Today wasn’t so bad. I helped my husband today with our business. We have an internet store. He does most of the work during the week. But today I so bored that I helped him. Ate a little to much for snacks. Need to control that. I find this very therapeutic to talk about my ups and downs. Thanks for listening or reading.

I am so glad that it is Friday. I had a eating day yesterday. But the good news is that I stayed away from the chips and candy bars. I did have two kudos yesterday. The weekdays are so hard because someone is always bringing in something to eat.

Today is really going slow.  I have two hours to go before the weekend starts.  It’s hot today. I didn’t exercise at all today. That is bad. I think I will ride my bike when it gets closer to dusk.
