Dear Blog-n-fog,
Well friends, i'm a little frustrated. I'm not sure who or what i'm frustrated with. It could be me, it could be my body, it could be society, or it could be God. But I didn't loose any weight this week and I really had some serious self control. I didn't drink a drop of alcohol all week even though we went to the lake! I only had one dessert this week after almost 2 weeks of no sweets. I worked out 6 days, one work out almost ended my life! So whats the stinkin deal! It's like i'm in a holding pattern. I'm so frustrated because I feel like if you are really overweight you drop weight really fast, but when you are just a little overweight it's like you always have to loose that last 10 pounds which is the hardest to loose. GRRR!!! So really in theory I should've gotten really big so that I would feel more rewarded by my weight loss! :) Ok, i'm just kidding about that. I truly do see and feel a change in my body. I look better and I feel better, so why isn't that enough to keep me energized this week? I guess it has to be, because I have to keep going. I will be so dissapointed if I don't reach my goal weight or at least get really close. I know I can do it, I know what I need to do so I just need to stick with it and get over this holding pattern i'm in. So here's my plan for this week. 3 days of cardio, 3 days of weight training, no eating out except on my cheat day, no booze (except for this weekend my shower and mini bachelorette party in Dallas!), i'm going to drop some LBS this week!!!! Now who's with me? Does anyone want to come to a class with me this week? I have some free passes to StudioFit, I would love some company! Let me know, drop me a line. If not, don't forget to do something for yourself this week. Relax, work out, go on an evening walk, eat clean, and don't forget to spend some time with the Lord. Good luck, let me know if I can help! We're in this together friends! The battle of the bulge is in full swing!
Much Love and Luck,
Bridemomma

You are not alone!
July 14, 2010
Weight-156
Food- Fiber One Raisin Bran, Protein Shake, mixed veggies and chicken, almonds, spinach stuffed chicken and cuscous, Yoplait fat free 100 calorie cinnamon roll yogurt.
Workout- 1 hour weight training, 15 min sprint intervals
Dear Blogginstein,
I am now a week into no desserts of any kind. WOW not so easy at times. I love dessert, it's my favorite meal of the day!!! I mean im not saying I eat chocolate cake everyday after every meal. It's just that I always want that something sweet after lunch and dinner, ok ok and sometimes breakfast ;). Just an m&m here and there right? Well, I am giving that up for a while to see if it helps move that scale. So no sweets and no alcohol. Which i've decided is going to turn me into a drug addict just to make it through the week ;). Hard stuff. I did pretty good this weekend without the sweets with 2 birthday cakes to stare at and a 25th anniversary cake (that I picked out) to refuse as well. But I need to learn to practice some will power every once in a while. Adam wanted to stop at Sonic tonight to get a sundae for him and Cohen which caused a little bit of resentment to well up in me. It's hard to be the only one in your house that is eating healthy and working out. It really makes it harder to make those good decisions when you have ice cream with hot fudge staring you in the face, or a cupboard with Doritos in it, or a Taco Bell that calls your name at lunch everyday. I will tell you though, if I can do it, you can do it! Watching Adam and Cohen eat their ice cream tonight was pretty painful, but so was looking at my Engagement pictures and crying because of how fat I looked. So I put some 100 calorie fat free yogurt in the freezer and enjoyed it as a treat after Cohen went to bed. If you are reading this discouraged at all the mountains you have to face daily even just opening your pantry, know that you aren't alone. Even if you are the only one in your house fighting the battle of the buldge, you are not alone. You aren't alone because you have me! I'm fighting it too, and if you need support or accountability let me know because I can always use some too. Fight that fight girls! Be a good example to your children, family and friends. Just start with a small change and then add to it everyday. Get out and get some excercise tomorrow! Let me know if I can help!
Much Love,

Saying NO!
July 12, 2010
Weight-156
Food- protein shake, fiber one cereal, bagel thin/turkey sandwhich, whole wheat wheat thins, hummus
Water- 60oz
Workout- 1 hour power lifting with trainer
Inches- Measured today and basically 1" smaller everywhere
Body Fat %- Has gone down 2%! That's awesomeness! I also gained 2LBS of muscle in 4 weeks! Yippee!
Dear Bloggalog,
What a crazy weekend I had my friends. We had a birthday party friday night and saturday night. Tanner had a very long and drawn out tennis tournament both days. We registered at Macy's. After my four hour drive to pick up Cohen Sunday I went straight to my parents house for their 25th wedding anniversary dinner. WOW! It was just too much stuff for such a small amount of time! We vowed lastnight in bed to not do that again, we are just killing ourselves every weekend to get to everything. It is time for us to start saying no, which is really hard because we are very social people, we like to be out doing stuff with our friends. Unfourtunately that has gotten us to a point this summer that we can't even remember having a date just the two of us in months! That is way too long! When I started this process of recentering my life and getting healthy on all levels I mentioned how I felt like I didn't have time to take care of myself. I am realizing now that that is at least 50% my fault. I can't say no. Even if it totally over books me, frazzles me, replaces my workout, makes me unhealthy, and on and on. Luckily Adam and I recognized this problem and are both determined to do a better job at allowing time for ourselves, our family and each other. How are you my friend? Are you allowing time for yourself? Are you overbooking your family? Do you have down time? What about time to meditate and pray? Keep striving to make time for yourself and special down time for your family. I am, and I am hoping it will create a better me!

Sugar=Crack
Dear Bloggitty-Blog,
Sugar is like crack! It's a cheap drug and it's extremely addicting. Sugar and sodium are the two things that are keeping me from being under 150. Now, in my defense it's not like i'm eating a piece of cake after every meal. But apparently I am eating just enough little sugar treats to counter act everything else i'm doing. So, what's my motto for the rest of the week...
"Lay of the crack"
What's your food addiction, what positives would you see if you only ever had it once a week? Food for thought... :)

Holiday Failure!
July 6, 2010
Food: egg whites, whole wheat bagel thin. hummous and wheat pita chips, salad/fruit
Water: just hit 70 oz, 26 more to go
Exercise: 30 minutes on the stair master (aka- tourture machine)
Dear Boggtastic,
I have to admit this weekend I did a HORRIBLE job sticking to my eating plan this weekend. Holidays are killer, so much good food and drinks! I did work out though, which was good. Does it count if you don't eat as bad as you normally would? Don't you get points for that? Well I think you should, because it's those little changes that you make that will eventually make the bigger difference. I weigh in tomorrow and have training, so we will see how things went this last week. I got a good amount of gym time in, so hopefully that will balance out the poor eating choices. I think that the goal this week to get back at it and make better choices this weekend than I did last, which should be easy because my mom's homemade sugar cookies and spinach dip won't be involved! :)
How was your hoilday weekend? Did you make healthy choices? What's your plan to do something for you this week? What healthy choice can you make to help your body feel healthier this week? Can I help encourage you somehow? Let me know, i'd love to help!
