This weekend was ok for me. I exercised every day whether I wanted to or not. lol I felt like my healthy lifestyle choices were being challenged. I was surrounded by food! My Abuelita (grandmother) was here on a visit. She expresses her love through food. She brought with her tamales and gorditas!!!!!!! Imagine the temptation!!! So for the most part I stayed away from the food. When I could see everyone eating, I would go to the kitchen and get a snack. Preferrably one I am a major fan of!

Last night, my sister hosted a cookout making their ever so popular hamburgers. I opted to only eat the hamburger patties with my favorite fixins. Just eliminating the bread and fries/chips made me feel much better. Today, they had barbacoa tacos. I had two with lean meat topped with avocado on corn tortillas. :) (the flour tortillas looked so yummy).

ANyhow, before they left they ordered pizza and while I really wanted a slice, I just couldnt bring myself to do it. I was going to just give in and have one, but the more I thought about it the more I realized I didnt want to waste my calories on a slice of pizza from a restaurant I dont even like! This is a classic example of something I would do in the past. Its like if my brain knows its not good for me it wants it! No matter what! Not this time.

Challenge after challenge!!! However, I did not escape this weekend without having 1 casualty. I had a slice of pie...and you know what? I savored every bite! When it was done, I was done. That was good enough for me!

evening everyone,im up and feeling some better and tomorrow will be even better..I hope.
Once I was in my docs office and the nurses were talking about weight andwhat was obese,then I spoke to my doc about the subject he told me anyone who was 20% over what the mda weights and sise chart says.At the time I weighed 165 and didnt have a fat cell on my body cause ive always been muscele bound by leading a very active life of working on a farm and raiseing horses wich keeps me in great shape.He told me He even condidered me obese at my going weight..said at my 5'6' medeum frame I should weigh 110.I have weighed 110 in my jocky days and looked like I was starveing to death...wich I nearly was to hold shuch weight.After reading up on the weights and measues I knew it was a load of crap then and more so now.All of us have diffrent body shaped and skelatel fram densety that shape our bodies.I may not see 165 again but my goal weight is 200 so I only have 52 more pounds to go after loseing 51 pounds already loseing 35 more may not be such a big deal, I call anything below my goal weigh a plus win win for me
if I dont im ok with that. .

Good Evening Everyone,

I just got back from my walk. I decided to add Metallica, Korn and Motley Crüe to my playlist. My knees are letting me know that I shouldn't have done that, hehe.

Have a great night,

Zimmy

I have to get some exercise in this week so I can banish the 2 pounds I gained last week. Gonna do the Wii for a while and have a date with the exercise bike later tonight!

back in the saddle again!

Good for you! I miss the Wii :( I LOVED the boxing, tennis and baseball. Since my shoulder cuff is messed up I can no longer play those games. Figures, something I was really diggin' and dayum talk about working up a sweat. Especially from the boxing! I was also hitting the speed bag in the basement, and shit that was a great workout, but again, I can't do that stuff anymore since my Physical Therapist said it's a no-no and I'm actually in PT twice a week. Been going for a month now and still have a way to go.

The treadmill, walking and stuff like I know is good, but personally for me it just doesn't cut it. I LOVE the type of activity involved with what I mentioned above. You know I'm an animal Dusa :cheesy: and prefer a much more "hands on" type of workout. I'm limited though because of the other issues like the herniated disc in my lower lumbar that I experienced back in February. That was a nightmare and I wanted to shoot myself due to the excruciating pain. Nothing helped until I received the corizone injection. That was miraculous to me and I've had no pain until recently I'm feeling it flare up a bit. So, I need to watch what I do. So there goes my kickboxing and martial arts desires that I wanted to seriously get into.

Ok back to the website. This website is actually real helpful and you won't be disappointed. We also have the Hungry Girl cookbook. Some really good things that are surprisingly delicious and low in points, etc...

I highly recommend it. The website is also pretty enjoyable to read through, as it's animated and funny. It's just not based around recipes. There are several areas that are worth reading. Navigate through, you won't be disappointed.

You can subscribe to daily email. I took this from that area of the website:

Tuesday, we make over fatty favorites in CHEW THE RIGHT THING. Wednesday is ASK HUNGRY GIRL day, with advice straight from HG. Thursday's WEEKLY WEIGH IN offers something different and surprising each week--- usually new guilt-free recipes! And Friday's GIRLS BITE OUT serves up survival strategies and more!

Hope you find it useful!

My goal is to do some sort of exercise every day this week.

Last week I started out so strong and then the combination of a big event on Friday night and out-of-town guests meant I didn't do any significant exercise on Saturday or Sunday. I could have made the time to run or walk, but I didn't and I'm sure it will show when I track my weight this week.

I definitely feel better when I've exercised every day (even if it doesn't feel like it at the time) and carving out time to exercise helps me to stay focused on making good food and portion decisions in the evening (when I'm most likely to be tempted). So, back on track, again.

I took a day off from work today so I could rest my back another day,besides I have another chiro appointment at 2:30pm,hopfuly I can get back into the swing of thinga tonight.I brought my exersise bike in the house along with my stair stepper with a fue small free weights...if it wasnt so blasted hot I would take a walk when the sun goes down but its still 95 or so even then.Relly need/want to get back to the gym..

Fell off the healthy food wagon and bounced hard a couple of times the past few days. It's really difficult around my parents, especially my mother, who thinks she has to make every form of sausage when my sisters and I are home. And my sister makes these cornflake and peanut butter gooey treats...I resisted the first couple of days and then caved after that. Argh!

So back to clean eating today, even though I am still here for one more day. Focusing on small bites. And I'm about to leave for the beach for a swim.
