So, I am going to start this blog this AM, but more than likely I won't finish it until later. Oldest has swim here in a bit, so I need to finish getting them ready to go and I like to get there a bit early. Thankfully, youngest is dressed and oldest is getting there and both have eaten. I'm mostly ready -- just need to put on a bit of make-up and double check diaper and swim bags. I also should probably make my protein shake and take some with me. I normally don't drink it until after 12, but I'm feeling somewhat hungry today. Just makes it hard to get in all my water if I eat/drink before I've gotten that first liter in.
So, in my boredom last night, I went back over my goals and started wondering if they were good or not. The majority are small 5lb. goals. Now I am wondering, is this a good format or should I be basing it on what each number means? I did that for my first couple of goals and then did it for my mid-way goal. But after that, it was just a number. Mostly because at this point, I really don't remember what those numbers felt like! So, it's hard for me to say well I want say 167 because that was the weight I was at X time because I just don't remember. I am still thinking on it to decide if I want just number goals or if I want to try to associate a feeling with that number. And like I said, I just don't know if I will have any feelings towards some since it has been so long since I've seen those numbers.
I did weigh this AM. 200.5. Not surprised, really. It's only Tues. so I didn't really expect to see a loss from Saturday's number since Saturday night and Sunday morning was the time I ate high carb. It usually takes me a few days to get that number down. So, for now, I'm ok. I've been sporadically weighing. LOL Mostly just because I was curious. Still trying not to get so stuck on the numbers on the scale which is why I ended up doing measurements. I mean, having a goal of about 153 is good, but I also want to look at the inches. Especially if I have a bad month or so. I'd rather see the inches going down! Not that I'm really working out right now, but I need to find the time. I need to be doing at least the basics! Especially for my skin. I keep reading that the best thing to possibly keep skin from sagging is walking and toning. And since that's what I wanted to do anyways, well, that just works! LOL But the problem is just doing it. I've been seriously slacking.
Well, for now, I better get going. Gotta finish these boys up and get outta here!
OK, back now! Woot! Swim went great! Oldest did a really good job and youngest behaved. However, when we got home, youngest fought nap like the Devil! Although, I think he has finally given up now. LOL Hubby is still asleep and oldest is having quiet time. So, the house is fairly quiet, too. :O I know, don't fall over! HA! Now I need to decide what to do with my day. I know there are things to be done, but I feel like I'm in a rut with doing them. I did a TON yesterday, but none of it really hard. But I did it. What I didn't finish was laundry -- I just got busy and never came back to it. But today, I've not accomplished much. Yesterday didn't feel like much until I started saying outloud what I did. Then I was like, huh, I got quite a bit done even if you can't see it! But today, well, I just don't feel like doing much. I kinda wish I could get out and be out of the house. I wonder if the hubby would give me a couple of hours when he gets up? Not that I have much to do, mind you. I just feel like being out. I'd sorta like to go to Big Lots to check out their couches and see if they have my detergent on sale. I'm getting low. They had it on sale at Kroger's, but it was the regular and not the HE. Normally not a big deal if it is a good sale and I have a coupon, but it wasn't that great a sale and alas, no coupon. So, I had decided to wait. I try to get cleaning stuff like that when it's really cheap and load up. It just saves SO much more! And I've followed the coupon places, but many times unless I wait and wait and wait, I can't get anywhere near the deals you see on shows like 'Extreme Couponing'. So, I just do the best I can with what I can.
I don't really have much else to talk about. Just wanted to finish this up and had hoped that by writing I would figure out what to do with my day, but so far I am just not feeling it. It's such a nice day out and here I sit! Maybe I should go outside and do SOMETHING. I don't know... Ok, chicks. Have a great day!
I think taking measurements is a lot less --- well stressful! lol I get a little batty when the scale doesn't say what I was hoping for it to say
ReplyDeleteMeasuring inches is less prone to fluctuations and having some sort of numerical measurement is good to stay on track and have goal to go for.
Thank you so much for the encouragement (it really means a lot to me) You really made an great point on the vitamins. I really should look into it because I never take any multi-vitamin other than an occassional vitamin c during cold season or flax seed oil. I'm so bad at taking supplements lol
I just want to wish you a fantastic day and keep up the awesome work!
I'm a fan of the 5-lb goals because they're doable and they're encouraging. For me it's a lot easier to deal with 5 lbs at a time than the total amount of weight that I want to lose.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a nice day today!
