YEY for spin class! :) December 29, 2008
mothermavis, thank you…you are right, i have come too far to let food push me around, LOL. NO MORE!! shalweshrink, I am letting it go. last week is behind me now and i am moving forward. thanks for your support. I am sure the issue with DH (and the kids for that matter) will be an ongoing struggle. we’ll have to take it one day at a time. I wish we could just meet in the middle somewhere. maybe them be a little more supportive and I will be “OK” with them having their junk once in a while. billie, thanks so much for your on going support!! You are right, it was all that holiday food I ate that made me continue to crave the bad stuff. I know that it’s not my families falt that i can’t control myself around food, but then i think if DH was an alcoholic, I wouldn’t sit there and drink in front of him and bring home booze every week either. LOL. I really appreciate all your comments. this blog helps me so much. I am so glad i found this place.
Today was much better. Thank god for spin class! I feel like a new woman after I am done. I worked my butt off tonight and did 40min of strength training. I ate good all day, and dont even have any cravings at the moment. I know I said I wasn’t going to weigh myself until next week, but I decided to just see how much damage I had done this past week. I am happy to say that I only gained 1.6 lbs!!! which i am hoping some of which is water weight. I am happy with that number, because it could have been much worse. I know that i will take that off quickly. so as of now i weigh 222.6, last week I weighed 221.0 (not too shabby for all the shit i shoved into my face) well, DS wants to get on the computer so i will go now. talk to all you chickies later.
B- fruit smoothie with non fat yogurt
S- watermelon
L- tuna with low fat mayo, relish, onion on whole grain crackers
S- ww ice cream
D- more tuna and crackers, an orange
I love it that you are into exercise, Heidi.
I remember when i used to exercise all the time.
It made me feel so strong and healthy.
I was happy and confident.
Now that i am a couch potato, i just feel like a blob.
One of these days i’m gonna read your blog about you working out and i’m gonna just decide to do it.
Give me time, my day is coming.
You keep going girl, don’t give up that exercise habit!
you are so right about that… people should have some consideration in terms of us being food addicts in recovery and still in our 12 step stages!
Dang, I dunno how you get by with such a little amount of food. Sometimes i am wondering if I could be losing much more weight by eating less. Maybe another experiment to try someday… maybe. I don’t like starving! But then I guess that’s why you only gained 1.6 lbs and I gained 5, over Christmas.
So glad to hear about the empowering spin cycle class! Keep up the good work!
