wow its been a long time since i posted on my blog. sad to say i regained the 10 lbs i lost in May or June... i kept it off for quite a few months but when you don't move your body its quite easy to pack the lbs back on. i'm back at my highest weight but thankfully i pull myself together when i hit this...
it seems there a limit to how much personal and family info i want to share in my blog. like many overweight folks, i think there can be a psychological component to the weight problem
wouldnt it be great to be able to go the biggest loser camp for 4 months or so to just concentrate on oneself (always a danger when you go back home that the same triggers will be there....)
anyway, i was struggling to get started w/ my exercise at home, so yesterday i ran away to San Simeon, on the central Calif coast... it is a beautiful weekend here. coupled with some minus tides, i can collect rocks to use in my jewelry
so my plan was to: 1) exercise multiple times a day... the biggest losers workout approx FIVE HOURS A DAY!!!!!!! so far this morning i walked approx 30 mins plus 30 mins of strolling on the beach picking up rocks. then i moved in the indoor pool for an hour, mostly jogging, boy was it tough to keep moving, i kept looking at my watch every 5 minutes, i had to keep telling myself you can do this, move for 45 mins, then move for 15 more mins and you'll have an hour in. last chance workout.. you can do this...
slight kink in my rt shoulder, neck thwarted swimming. i might drive to a store and see if i can get a kick board to do laps with. i specifically booked this motel cuz of the indoor pool. planning is KEY to weight loss, getting in shape...i set as much as possible in place so i could have a successful couple of days.
i might get another water session in today, if the pool is empty. seems theres a bit of swimsuit malfunction so i need to be solamente in the pool...
2) eat healthy foods that i brought from home and salad fixins i bought in Morro Bay. i've struggled with the fat chick today, seems she hitched along for the ride. she kept screaming "go use the breakfast coupon, order something healthy if you are strong enough.... well that wasn't gonna happen, my willpower has been in the gutter lately. so i had a powerbar and a fuyu persimmon before my walk, then some baby carrots w/ low fat ranch for a snack,
now it's lunch time. i fixed a salad w/ albacore and 2tb low fat ranch dressing. lots of organic mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper and some other veggies.
heres what it looks like:
i'll have to upload this later the connection is too slow right now
on tap for this afternoon/evening is some jewelry making. hopefully i will get some good pictures and upload product to my online shop
i also will be walking, rock collecting... i do plan on this!!! i don't know if i will work out 5 hrs but definetly i'm ahead of the game than if i'd stayed home
thankfully my youngest son is home to take care of the animals... thanks, sweetie!!!!
