Curve Balls

Ok, so I guess not having my husband here with me has put some added stress on me. I haven't been making great food choices lately. Ice cream just makes it all feel better. But besides my husband being away, here comes curve ball number two. My step dad had to go into the hospital again because he was feeling weak and passed out. He is home now, and on Hospice care. I know that now it is just a matter of time for him. I'm doing my best to prepare for it, but the hard part will be telling my 7 year old daughter who adores her Papa! She is his little princess.
Let's hope  I can get back on track and have a good weigh in this week. I'm gonna get on www.mytrainerbob.com and get some excellent work out videos!

Bob Harper's Inside Out Method - Squat Thrust with Plyometric Jump Chall...

Biggest Loser

I just pledged 30 lbs for the Biggest Loser's Pound for Pound challenge. Here's how it works: for every pound you lose, Biggest Loser will donate a pound of food to your local food bank. (-1lb on the scale = +1lb of groceries.) Wish me luck!

Harsh Truth

Today I weighed in. Not a happy number. 192 .... Yikes! I am at my biggest I have ever been not including pregnancy. So today was just as any good day to start reclaiming my life back. (Was that a Cliche`? ... eh oh well it's still the truth.) I pulled out my old Weight Watcher's stuff. Sure it's out dated but if it worked then it is sure to work now. I did go over on my points today, but I did order the crispy thin crust from Pizza Hut instead of Pan or Hand Tossed. That has to count for something, right? Besides, I know I will do better tomorrow. I just need to plan my menus better so I can say "no pizza, we are having ____ for dinner tonight." I need to stand up and tell my mom that I will not run errands after a certain time unless it's a drastic need or an emergency. Is it my fault that she goes to bed at 3am and doesn't get up until the afternoon? Not only will I have success in my meals that I eat, but my daughter can have success in going to bed on time. "And the Oscar goes to Victoria for best performance at bedtime." (Roll clip of major temper tantrum and melt down.)
I will not let a little bit of stress cause me to stick my face in a bowl of ice cream.
This week's words to live by: "The road to success is always under construction."
