dangit!
doggonit, I accidentally deleted all of my weightloss numbers on my ticker down there! I wanted to change the numbers to include my actual highest weight because I really wanted to show on the ticker where I've come from in weightloss. I did it but I wanted to also change the date to when I was 405 which was back in August 2008. Well yeah, I messed it up and put 405 as my current weight (it worked when I had it as my start weight) on 8/7/08 and bam, all my numbers from June 2009 til today were gone! DOH!! So I sent the maker a comment/suggestion asking if they still had that info saved in their system. yeah, I haven't been keeping a hardcopy of my progress. my scale only goes back 12 weeks from the time you step on it for a new weigh-in so that's not back to June . . . only til about July. Not bad, but it doesn't show all the ups and downs. I may have blogged the numbers as well but yeah, I'm lazy like that...don't really wanna go backtracking to find them. Heck, I don't even wanna clean this room but I need to cuz ...it just needs to, HAS TO be done!!

HELLO OUT THERE?
I hope everyone is still blogging "gotten in the way" for many of us but I'm still fighting that good fight to lose this weight! These circuits we're now doing in class are butt kicking but I'm learning a lot and feeling that good hurt. The hurt that lets you know..yeah, you're making things happen baby!
I just wanted to say hello and keep the faith high and the calories low!

??
I guess everyone else is a lil quiet or busy as well. Hopefully there's not a boycott against me (lol). hey, my boy still thinks i'm cool as he climbs up behind me, gives me a neck hug, and is now eyeing how else he can get in trouble!!! aaaah, mommy's library book!!
anyway, last week was a good week. I hit the fitness center on a couple of off days (monday and friday) and made sure I was there friday because friday night my sister was having a birthday dinner and I wanted to be sure I had a good amount of room before going. however, I didn't eat too much at all and I had a long gap between lunch and that dinner.
So yeah, I'm doing good. Today the fitness center is closed so I'm gonna have to do some working out at home. oy.
right now, I'm stalling cleaning my bedroom. this is a wreck. it's a 100 years war! it's a work in progress that I'm really hoping will end soon!

As I proceed to bend over to kick myself..
Ok, so I'm gonna b$#@! and then I'm gonna learn from it and move on.
I'm up 5 pounds in five days. I don't know if the scale needs a new battery because this is the second time I've had a 5# jump in less than a week. Either way, I could believe it thought because twice last week I indulged in fatty Chinese Food. I could have easily broken the meal up into 3 meals with a big salad and some fresh fruit to round it out. But no, I gorged on 6 big potstickers and 6 fried crab rangoons one day for lunch alone. I don't believe I had much else to eat later that day except some fresh fruit and water but still. too much.
Friday, being Friday and the day of the week where we leave with the students (a little after 2pm) I was feeling like some more potstickers and rangoons. This time, I added egg rolls and bbq pork to the mix. This time I had enough for my mom and my wee one. However, I gorged on the most because it's really like feeding 2 1/2 people because he's only 3. I REALLY need to just buy enough food for 2 people and then take part of our food and give that to him. Being 3, he's a picky eater.
So yeah, it may also be increased muscle because trust me...there's some new muscle in the short amount of time I've spent in that aerobics class because she had strength training and weights to it.
In conclusion, I must remember the old knowledge of not to be a slave to the scale. Muscle weighs more than fat right? Or it's denser? something like that. Anyway, I need to look at how my clothes fit more than what the scale says. Soooo yeah.
I also have to not beat myself up if I'm not in a size 26 or 28 by November 7th. As long as I keep pushing...I'll be at a size 28 guaranteed. Just need to give up all that food I KNOW I am not going to portion control, that I'm not going to take in moderation, that I'm not going to be able to just have a little bit of before I want to devour it all. I'll only have it if I'm out with 2 other GROWN people and we'll split the portions! And well, since I'm trying to get back to my discipline of no fast food or food made away from home (or non-homecooked, healthy food because sometimes I'm eating what someone else homecooked) I shouldn't have to worry about dividing an appetizer or whatnot up amongst people. I DO have 2 away from home eating engagements this weekend, possibly 3, and all will be to hang out/celebrate with family (my sis will be 35) and that's b4 my bday in November....and THAT'S supposed to be more about my "massive" weight loss which right now, isn't at the number I want it to be at.
But I won't be discouraged. Despite another situation rearing it's ugly head in my life, I will work through the pressure!!
Okay, he needs to be napping, I'm waiting for people to come over and pick up these pasta bakes I made for them, and I STILL had plans of running a few errands today. However, half of the day is already gone so I don't know if it's gonna happen.

My Apologies! Now GET UP!
Hello everyone! I apologize for being away for so long again!! I haven't been slipping up bad with the food however. I have been, but not horribly! I've been recognizing my weaknesses in the food game so I'm trying to just let those things stay on the store shelf! No matter how pretty the packaging or how much I try to tell myself, oh I'll just have one serving at a time and that's it. Not gonna happen. I was at Marshalls a couple weeks ago and bought 2 cans of these chocolate filled crispy wafer rolls. the visible fat alone once I opened the cans was enough to make the most unhealthy eater cringe a bit but ...looked past that. I was jonesin' for some chocolate!
Anyway, enough of that. My aerobics class started last month on the 22nd. That first day was woooooow! I thought I was gonna puke when I got home. It's been over 5 years since I was hitting a gym and exercising regularly!! I was exhausted. The class is on Tuesday and Thursday 6:30-7:45pm. Thursdays I have a bit of time to work with but on Tuesdays my son, for the next few weeks, has a scheduled appt. at 4:30pm. That runs for about an hour and then it's about 15 minutes getting home. I have to try and eat something before the class because I don't want to eat so late after it. Sometimes the class starts late, I guess to give stragglers a chance to get there, and it lets out closer to 8pm!!! I learned that first class that a big meal is NOOOOOOT going to make for a happy workout and rest afterward!
So, what I did last Tuesday was eat some salad during his appointment and an apple on the way to pick him up from school before the appointment. I just stretched my dinner out so it was there but not all lumped in at once.
I've learned there are things this 300+ pound body CAN do but I just don't want to have to do again until I'm healthier, more flexible, and of course, smaller in weight!!!
My weight has been fluctuating...I don't believe it's a plateau I'm in...it's a bad cycle of rationalizing eating what I KNOW I need to avoid! I'm working out now so I can splurge a bit. The problem with THAT is that I'm not eating those foods AFTER a hard workout so the calories will burn faster and the food will digest a lil quicker. But on top of that, I'm still only exercising 2x a week in class!! I DID receive the once per year free fitness center access via a prescription for exercise from my doctor, I just have to start putting the fitness center in my schedule on Mondays and Wednesdays after work. I'm QUITE sure I'll be going in earlier than 6:30 so it doesn't take so much of my after work time away. But I DO need to go. I can't use "I need a refresher course in using fitness equipment" as an excuse either because both classes last week were in the fitness center!! I guess the problem with taking an aerobics class at a public city park district is that you're pretty much only guaranteed the time slot but not the place on the property to have the class??? I think last Tuesday's class was planned to be in the fitness center but Thursday's class was there because both of the gyms in the main building were being used for something else.
Fitness center work wasn't horrible though. . .and the soreness that followed..well, we all know that's a good thing. But just you know, I had to take a pill on Thursday because that's when the soreness peaked for my lower body! Only to go in Thursday evening and work the upper body (Tues=upper, Thurs=lower). I'm looking forward to the end goal though!
As for my birthday that almost exactly a month away, if I'm planning on fitting one of these dresses I've got hanging up then I'm going to...REALLY GOING TO have to knuckle down down and up the exercising to 4x a week...5 if I'm not going out of town for a weekend and leaving right after work that Friday. However, I'd most likely only be going to see my bro so if I just danced around or ran up and down the hallway with my son which is all he wants to do while he's out there...30 minutes of cardio with that and lifting some cans of baked beans....hey, free workout!!
I know, I know, so if I KNOW what to do and what I need to do why can't I either piss or get off the pot? Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeell, we're all blogging about our struggle/journey/backslides/successess and above all ENCOURAGING EACH OTHER for a reason. Something hasn't stayed consistent and it's not our body..it's our way of thinking...it's our minds. The body can't move without the brain saying to do it and our brain does or thinks nothing just on it's own. . .at least I don't think it does. Where're the docs/scientists out there?
I think about you guys out there even when I'm not blogging like I should be. I hope that everyone is doing well and that the pounds are still decreasing/shedding/melting away!!! I hope that no one has falling back off he wagon and decided to just give up the fight. It's a fight, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but I've never seen a fighter, even one that's been knocked out cold, not get back up eventually! Get up! For us, it's detrimental for us to LITERALLY GET UP! Get up and get moving!
Speaking of get moving....we took the lil guy to the ER a little over a week ago because he had blood in his stools. Now, for a lil 3 year old, his movements are like, grown person sized!! it was a lil blood but the couple of days before we took him it had sort of tripled in how much was there. So I left a msg with the nurse at our doc office. Called back the next day and wanted us to take him to ER to be seen sooner than trying to make an appt. or coming as a walk-in. He was just diagnosed with constipation and that's what causes the blood when he has to push so hard. Plus he doesn't go everyday. Rx: MORE FIBER! Well, since we ALL need more fiber because I know we're not getting enough of it at home or at his school I bought some Benefiber. While there I saw some All-Bran fiber products that were on clearance. could be because they were discontinued but most likely because they expire next month. But well, I've seen old stuff on the shelves before so maybe they weren't selling good. I don't know. I just stocked up on the lil drink packets, wafer rolls, and fiber bars. Now if they only made these things with HFCS!!

labor day blues
well, not really a sad day. I've gotten a lot of clerical/lesson planning work done. and I've got some time in the day before I really have to start winding down. And if Staples or whatever Office Depot is close enough now is open, let alone still open, I just might go in to make copies of forms, syllabi, etc. Problem with that is I don't want to pay for a bunch of copies I won't need because the enrollment is still rolling over and whatnot and if I make 200 copies but only have 150 students and we never have a turnover of those other 50 students...yeah, it can get a bit costly since I have a bit I want copy. Actually a couple of those things I still need to type up.
I've also been on a bit of a fast today. I JUST ate a bag of lite microwave popcorn about a couple hours ago and I've had a bit of water. The last meal I had before that was rib tips, fries, and bread around 4pm yesterday so I figured I needed to just lay low on food. I knew I wouldn't be going all out today and moving around so I wouldn't be super dizzy and tired and hungry. I've been sitting here typing and researching so I've saved some calories. I even resisted the urge to have another bag of popcorn. But well, the rib bones in the fridge, baked sweet potatoes and cabbage that I have yet to have and they were made by mom like ...Friday I think...are calling me! the boy is napping and I'm sure he'll be awake soon, within the 1/2 hour to hour and he'll want to grub...maybe....he didn't want any ribs or fries yesterday...think the sauce was a bit spicy for him and he fussed at the tingle! po baby!
okey dokey, not a long post but need to get back to posting. I'll understand if you all aren't commenting here because I haven't been stopping in on your blogs either. I hope to get back into a routine soon! I found out that I can purchase/find a cord that will allow me to use my own laptop at work through their wifi connection so I can leave that horribly slow ancient windows 95 or 98 computer they have there alone! and i don't even give those Macs a 2nd look unless it's a side-eye!! the combo of being a Mac AND being an older model...barf!!

*******
*mumble mumble mumble*
I have lost focus.
I have had too much food that I didn't prepare.
I don't think it ALL was junk food...but junk food has snuck back into my body.
I've just had too much food at one meal.
I will give myself credit that with getting back into the classroom this week to set things up (even though Ihave no artwork copies on the walls because I'm ordering big posters for that job until the students have work completed) and even though I may have indulged in the provide breakfast and lunch on Wednesday, I didn't eat again at home until around 8 and that was crackers.
I must get back on the saddle.
November will be here before I know it. And I WILL fit one of those dresses hanging up there.
I AM in a size 32 again after a while. My doctor pointed out that since August of last year I've lost over 40 pounds. Apparently I DID get over 400..it was 405 at one point. I guess the shock of seeing that number on the digital display was blocked from my memory.
Well, the students come back into the classroom on Tuesday. I'll start the aerobics class on the 21st. Need to start planning lunches to take for lunch. Wraps should work fine.
This boy needs to get a nap in and I should keep working on job stuff so....later all.

:(
I need to put this past week behind me. I had horrible meals from last Sunday on to yesterday! yesterday we had fast food twice! total last week we had fast food about 4 times! Today, i haven't had much to eat...tea with generic equal this morning and boiled, lightly seasoned chicken breast and broth for lunch. why?
Could be a couple of reasons combined but I have a cold. I initially figured it was because friday night i didn't turn the table fan off by my bed so there was air blowing on me even though Friday and Saturday nights were pretty cool for August in Chicago. This has been a pretty...not so typical...Chicago summer btw. Anyway, today, I realized that might not be the only reason. Last week our church had our Back to School Bible Camp (VBS) so we had a lot of foreign germs in there with guest students from the neighborhood. not saying they're nasty or anything but...not sure how healthy a life they're living!!! I keep forgetting to take my vitamins so my immunity defenses are pretty down. Soooo, I've been taking psuedophed and I only have 2 left. i figured yesterda that today I'd grab some more to or from church but i didn't go because i woke up feeling like something ran over my head!
Mommy (yeah, i said mommy :P ) is boiling some more chicken for me, the boy has been napping for a while and he's already woken up once but he went back to sleep...however...is that him sighing now....uh oh. so yeah...I'm hoping this cold is gone by Thursday because that's when we're taking another staycation downtown! Weather forecast just went off and those days look good...really good.....not too hot, no rain forecast..we get rain on Tuesday or Wednesday but i'll probably have to water the potted plants outside before then anyway.
Soooooo, yeah, what happened last week with my eating? I could have easily made that pot of brown rice to go with the pepper steak and sweet n sour chicken I made but I didn't. instead, i turned the steak into wraps...not bad, had a lotta lettuce and some sliced tomatoes with that. The chicken though....I wrapped those in wonton wrappers and made FRIIIIIED eggrolls!!!! GRANTED I had sliced carrots, bell peppers, onions, and cabbage in that mix....would have been much healthier with a bit of brown rice. Plus I MAXED a bag of Boston Baked Beans candy AND some cookies. OY!! whole wheat pasta found it's way into the mix as well.
my weight fluctuated from like 365 to 360 to 362 to yesterday's 363.8 or .3 . Not sure what it is today.
A problem was I had to hurry up and cook a bunch of meat that I didn't freeze after buying it because I was like, well, do we have room in the freezers and I wanna hurry up and make something with these and blah blah blah. Well, it was a bad move. I've been doing good with making only enough food to last the day it's cooked and maybe the next day for leftovers. Cooking a fresh meal has helped keep me on track.
I also need to not have another bloggin drought. even if I stop in just to say feeling fine...or like crap..or whatever....
welp, the wee one is awake and hugging up on me!! he was just kissing my knee...then huggin my arm, now harrassing my knee again!!!

Mommy (yeah, i said mommy :P ) is boiling some more chicken for me, the boy has been napping for a while and he's already woken up once but he went back to sleep...however...is that him sighing now....uh oh. so yeah...I'm hoping this cold is gone by Thursday because that's when we're taking another staycation downtown! Weather forecast just went off and those days look good...really good.....not too hot, no rain forecast..we get rain on Tuesday or Wednesday but i'll probably have to water the potted plants outside before then anyway.
Soooooo, yeah, what happened last week with my eating? I could have easily made that pot of brown rice to go with the pepper steak and sweet n sour chicken I made but I didn't. instead, i turned the steak into wraps...not bad, had a lotta lettuce and some sliced tomatoes with that. The chicken though....I wrapped those in wonton wrappers and made FRIIIIIED eggrolls!!!! GRANTED I had sliced carrots, bell peppers, onions, and cabbage in that mix....would have been much healthier with a bit of brown rice. Plus I MAXED a bag of Boston Baked Beans candy AND some cookies. OY!! whole wheat pasta found it's way into the mix as well.
my weight fluctuated from like 365 to 360 to 362 to yesterday's 363.8 or .3 . Not sure what it is today.
A problem was I had to hurry up and cook a bunch of meat that I didn't freeze after buying it because I was like, well, do we have room in the freezers and I wanna hurry up and make something with these and blah blah blah. Well, it was a bad move. I've been doing good with making only enough food to last the day it's cooked and maybe the next day for leftovers. Cooking a fresh meal has helped keep me on track.
I also need to not have another bloggin drought. even if I stop in just to say feeling fine...or like crap..or whatever....
welp, the wee one is awake and hugging up on me!! he was just kissing my knee...then huggin my arm, now harrassing my knee again!!!

sorry so long gone!
I've just been away from bloggin...not away from eating better though. to prove that
I'M DOOOOOOOOOOOWN 30 POOOOOOOOOOOOUNDS!!!!! it may be a bit more by now because I weighed-in this past Sunday. Today, I'm going to go see District 9. Not sure if I'll even be able to chew any movie popcorn without annoyance and pain though!
why?
Last week I had my WISDOM TEETH PULLED!!!! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH THE HORROR!!! Nothing like hearing the slight crunch of tools and teeth from inside your head! I had to have stitches in one socket because she had to do a bit more surgery. Now I have to wonder if my cut up gum is ever going to heal right! I can only assume the other 3 sockets are healing okay. It's this bottom left side that's my small little hell right now! Not sure how she stitched that up but I won't really know what it's like until it's all healed. hmmm.
So I'm still here, and my sis is okay. I think you misread what Bonnie said. she was calling me sister!
I've just been a bit tired these past couple of weeks. Sorry to keep you all waiting.
I've also made another reservation for me, the boy, and my mom before I return back to work and she starts her real retirement! the boy, the only thing different for him is he's been able to sleep in a bit but he still goes to daycare. This year though, he'll be officially in Pre-School classes with the bigger kids! next year I think is when I'll enroll him in a bigger school.
