First off...I do not expect any replies. I know it can get cumbersome replying to everything someone posts. This is really for my own transparency and to keep me focused on my goal by being honest with myself. I said by any means necessary and I meant it.
10:09am EST - Scale at 220.4 this am...next weight in 1/1/2010 on my own scale
So...I am off to a good start. I have made a personal commitment to myself to lose 40 pounds in the next five months. Its MY personal goal only and may not be suitable for others.I started my day with eating a scrambled egg, 2 strips of Turkey Bacon and a slice of WW Toast....has a little SF jam and margarine too. I took my supp and had to rush out the door to drop by baby girl off at school.
I am at work for a few hours today even though I am suppose to be off. I just want a clear desk for the New Year. I called the Rec Center to get an appt with one of the personal trainers. I had to leave a message. Not sure if I will get in before I leave for Houston...but I will be going to the rec center today later to work out anyway. My goal is to do 1/2 treadmill; 1/2 cycle, 1/2 hour swim. I want to get in the jacuzzi but Imma have to pass on the old folks and raw azzes stew.
Something about that jacuzzi turns me off...when I see all the chickens and roosters in there ...just a simmering.
I will update this post after lunch...on my way to fill up my water container now. My goal is to do 40 and 40 oz on my way to 40 lbs. Later.........
5:37pm EST
My youngest and I are on our way to the Rec Center. I called and they just happen to have the playroom open this evening with a sitter. In the future, I will need to plan ahead and make a reservation. I KNOW that I have used the no sitter cop out before. She will go to the play room while I work out and then we will both go swimming together.
I had left work at about 12:30pm EST. The plan was to go get a last minute gift....but as usual I got off track and stopped at the dentist to make an appt for my next cleaning....just because I passed the office and thought it might be good to stop. Well after that I figured I am across from the Mall anyway so I can go there...look for the gift and make myself an eye appt while I am at it. DO you know that I had the nerves to luck up on an eye appt. Had my eyes examined, picked out my frames and ordered them! I only put this here because while its a good thing that I like to multi-task. I also know that I have to be mindful...because it can also be a set up for poor choices. While there I stopped in the food court. I had not planned for lunch.
There are only a few eating establishments in this particular mall. The healthiest choice was Subway. I was indecisive about getting the vegetable beef soup...which looked kind of old so I passed. I settled on a turkey sub on WW. I know..I know...the carbs...but I did pass on the combo although that devil was telling me to go for the chips. I remembered my post and that I would have to be honest....I did not want to have to write that I succumbed to some dayum chips. I had lettuce, tomato, pickle, pepper rings and sweet peppers on the sub...with regular mustard. I told them to give me a cup for the water. I passed on the SODA too... Yeah Me!
HOWEVER....I need to plan better and carry low carb snacks and protein bars for such a situation. Next time I might get that "FUKK IT" Mindset that always leads to trouble.
I had stopped at Sams Club before picking up the girls. I needed Detergent and some other household items. I decided to take a pack of their rotisserie ribs for dinner. I know tonight would be a little crazy and do not want to mess up my plan for the rec center. We had the ribs with baked beans and applesauce (added a little cinnamon and splenda)
So...we are headed to the rec center now. I will post again after we are back in an settled. I did not hear from the female personal trainer I called earlier so I will just see if someone is there that can fit me in. I know what to do. Mack Mama had referred me to a excellent book on lifting, "The New Rules of Lifting for Women" by Lou Schuler. I had started to put it to use but got off track and it has since been making a quite lovely nightstand decoration with a couple of other books that I have planned to pick up and read. I will get back to it as well. Save myself a few dollas. The personal trainer really is a gesture for me to have another set of eyes motivating me to be consistent.....later.

We made it home from the Rec Center. I did 30 min on tread mill, 15 not 30 on cycle and 30 min Swim. I feel good...my muscles are a little achy but its a good ache....ache of accomplishment. I drank 20 oz at the Center.
Finished up my water intake with a snack of 3 slices of turkey bacon and SF applesauce
I am beat....can hardly keep my eyes open.
Overall, I feel good about my day...until tomorrow.

A good thing is alway to track what you eat...I am sure you know this Dreadz...even if its just scratching it down on paper. It helps us to be more concsious of what we are putting in our mouths. Also planning the meals helps as weil. You will kick back in when you feel you have hit a bottom and not before. I am praying for you to feel it soon. 
Can I tell you that just reading your post has inspired me tremendously!! I love the way you are holding yourself accountable... I think I may do the same to get this ball rolling on the fast pace down the hill. between you and MSW I have so much motivation and drive Thank you
