May Motivation Sunday

Moving on into more of May...

okay...I never put a bite of anything into my mouth until after 5:00 p.m. yesterday...I did drink 2 protein drinks before then and lots of other liquids.  I ate 3 cookies from5:00 until 11:00 when I went to sleep.  I had 1.5 c taco casserole and some Fritos and Chuy's green dip.  Thank heavens I wasn't eating from lunch until bedtime!  I was just busy and never had time to stop.

Today's plan:
lots of liquids
2 protein drinks
baked chicken for lunch...unsure of what else
steak for dinner, unless it's raining

What's your plan and what's motivating you?

Morning Karla, since April sucked for me, I HAVE to do better in May.  Yesterday I had a McDonald's Bacon/Egg and Cheese bagel for breakfast and didn't eat again until 8:00 when I had a smoked summer sausage on a bun and some homemade blackberry cobbler and ice cream.  Not good choices to start off the month!!

I KNOW what the problem is, I quit planning and logging my food.  I need to formulate a plan for today and stick with it cuz otherwise I'm gonna start backsliding and I refuse to do that. I definately need MOTIVATION to stay away from the carbs.  I'm glad the conference is right around the corner, it should help me get back on track.

Again thanks for doing this thread cuz it really does help!!

OK I NEED this today
scale hit 210 the end of April so I started my May goal from there - bounced right back to 212 this morning - grrrr

ok so the plan for today is about another 15 ins on the puter than a long walk with the dog - at least a couple of mile
finish my CL so I have my first litter of water in
then eat resonably and on plan
plan is
eggs with stuff
shake with fruit
bar if needed
tuna or egg salad with spinich
muffin or apple with pnut butter
taco salad- chipolta style- brown rice, beans, meat, cheese, veggies
cottage cheese with fruit

nothing tastes as good as skinny feels and I fed Rach my last Reese heart this am so it is out of the house LOL

I am dumping a lot agian so hoping that will help with my weight also

Good morning!!!!  Still 189 this morning... I thought maybe it was a fluke yesterday!  I was so excited that it motivated me to update my avatar and take some pics that I uploaded to my profile... just request to be a friend if you want to see my updates.

Yesterday I didn't eat much... too busy but here is what I had:
Oh Yeah RTD
slice of turkey
3 crawfish/2 shrimp/1 small new potato/half an ear of corn... and a teeny tiny slice of the best bread that of course made me feel miserable.... WHEN will I learn!!!!!
1 Choc/raspberry martini...............yum

Not sure yet what is on Today's menu other then my usual Oh Yeah to start the day.

Love the new avatar, Paige!!!!

Thanks Jeri!

Morning Karla & everyone!  I did well yesterday especially with my water & pretty good with the eating.  Today will be even better!  Plan to get in some exercise today...not sure about what I'll be eating yet though. I've given up red meat (which has been extremely HARD to do) so it will be chicken, fish, veggies & fruit.

Y'all have a great day!!!

Hugs & Love,

Jeri

My goals for May are:

*Starting weight 164.4.  Goal for May will be to reach my surgeon's goal of 160.  Ten months out and be at goal?  HECK YEAH!!  This morning weighing in at 165.8 - ah, the good old bouncing game going on this weekend. 

*Exercise minimum of 3 times per week.  Walking, recorded program ..... just something that has me moving.  No formal exercise yesterday just a lot of running around doing errands, but I did get out of the recline! :) 

*Stick with getting 64-80 ozs of water EVERY day.  Could've done better on this one, I need to put some bottles of water in my vehicle again for those running around days.

*Post on this topic each day to keep myself in check.  (Exemption 5/15-5/17 due to RYD Obesity Conference in Galveston)  This one is easy - SUCCESS! 
.
*And the BIGGIE - quit smoking. Work in progress.

Morning

Yesterday was weird. I think i'm like the rest of you.  I had cheese toast at about noon and then no food again until 8pm.  then when I tried to eat, I dumped big time.  It's happened all week.  It doesn't matter what it is.  Seems my body does NOT want food at night.  But every night about 9 I have a power crunch bar so at least I get some protein.

Weight is still at 153.  I am going to TRY to keep the low glycemic going and really push for more veggies, fiber, fruit, lowfat , yada yada.  hope to get some cooking done today.  I have lentils to cook with a ham bone.  Wish I actually LIKED food right now. 

Okay, whining again and I HATE that.  It's going to be a good motivational May.

I didn't really take care of any of my goals for April so I hesitate on jumping in here but I will give it a shot.
My goals for May are:
1. Start eliminating stress from my life that is causing me to emotional eat.
 a) get a job
 b) no more sugar
 c) get home organized, one project a day.
2. Structure my weight lifting.  I have been doing it sporadically and want to get more structured and start logging my weight training.
3.  Water, Water, Water!!!  64ozs daily.
4.  Have my first appointment with a therapist completed by the end of May!!!!!!
5.  Train for 10K May23rd.  I want to run it in less than 1 hour 8 mins.  (I am currently at about 1 hour 16 mins so I need to shave off a little over 1 min per mile, sounds simple, NOT)

So these are my goals.  They may not seem like WLS goals but they really are.  I am an emotional eater and I have a lot of emotional stuff going on in my life right now.  If I follow these goals then I won't do as much of the emotional eating and therefore will be healthier on my weight loss journey.  I am going to copy and paste this in my profile and then print it off to hang in front of my computer.  If you notice me pulling away into my shell please call me out so that I can get back on track.
