I just lost a month

I just re-read my blog and realize that this downward spiral started the beginning of March, one month ago. This whole past month has been draining and I feel overwhelmed, like I have no strength left inside me to do anything but go through the motions. I want to lose weight and be healthy. I like the way I was starting to look in clothes. Since quiting the Biggest Loser, I have indulged in Frosty's, french fries, and icecream. I feel like I just need some rest and an open schedule and I can rejuvenate and get my will power back. I won't give up, but I don't have the strength to push on right now.

I Quit

I quit the Biggest Loser at school last week. It had been 4 weeks since I had lost any weight and it would be impossible to lose the amount of weight I need to have a share in the money. so I quit. March has been horrible, I feel constantly rushed and no sleep. The only good thing was the week Coral spent here. I am teaching after school intervention on Tues and Thurs. Fri is Zumba, but I haven't gone for 2 weeks because of my schedule with the kids. I feel like I am on the verge of a meltdown myself because I have been going and going and going. My house is a mess, the only things I keep up with are dishes and laundry. But I really can't stand the clutter (Ainsley's toys, clothes left lying around, and papers). Tomorrow is prom gown shopping so I still won't be home to clean, rest, and relax. One more week of intervention and then Easter break the following week. I can make it one more week.

same, same

Weighed in today at 205 again. I have had 3 bad weeks. First was lethargy b4 my period, second was the time change and starting intervention (while on period), and this week was interruptions but I was trying to exercise. Also starting to overeat on giant portions because I get so hungry. Enjoying Zumba and dvd workouts, just have to step everything up if I want a share in the Biggest Loser money.

Downward spiral

The past 2 weeks have been terrible for my weight loss efforts. First was building up to my cycle and feeling lethargic, then Columbus and my cycle, but when all that was over life just got busy and I am out of the exercise habit AND I MISS IT. The total exercise in the past two weeks were 2 Zumba sessions and 3/4 of a step workout. I am going to try harder to get my exercise this coming week. On the up side, we went shopping this weekend and I am a 16 bottom and between a XL and a 1X on the top, so yeah!

Weigh in

205, gained 1/2 pound. It's been another busy, tiring week. 3rd grade intervention is going well, but with Zumba, it makes 3 school nights that I don't get home till much later. Another excuse is the time change, I have been staying up too late, although some nights were not of my own choosing. I'm not giving up, came home today and started KS step workout, but was interrupted and then I couldn't get back into it. tomorrow I am getting my hair cut and colored, part of my self- makeover. I can do this.

Friday's weight and update

Weighed in at 204.5. the same. I have not exercised since Tuesday, except for Zumba on Friday, and it wasn't much of a challenge. So it's been almost a week since I had a good, sweaty workout. I just got busy, tired and lethargic. Waiting for my period to start. Diet has been pretty good, even when we went to Columbus this weekend. So Monday will be a new start, before I go buy groceries.

Weekend Update

I did not exercise Friday or Saturday. Friday was decorate Fellow's Insurance, get pizza, then go with Brianna and Nick to see I am Number Four. Then groceries at Walmart and finally Take Nick to Rayland. It was just to late Friday. Saturday I had intentions to exercise in the morning but was sidetracked and too tired. I ended up cleaning the living room, dishes, and laundry before the 4-H meeting and 4-H swimming. Afterwards John and I took Jarrett to St. Clairsville to meet a group to go see the movie Beastly.

I did step aerobics tonight but feel bloated. I definitely prefer Kathy Smith over Denise Austin as an exercise instructor. The cueing and the movements by Kathy are easier and appeal to me more than Denise. I have bought several new Kathy Smith dvd's because exercise is now going to part of my life. I feel great
