A Downward Trend

So two days in a row loss - 173.6 (-0.4lbs)!  Wohoo!
For exercise I raked the front yard of our house.  I should of gotten in my WATP, but I didn’t.  I went to my Mom’s house yesterday for dinner and came home late.  I was tired after and decided to just sleep with the girls [...]

Weightloss and the Swine Flu

So I’m back down again!  I’m 174.0 (-1.4lbs).
I did 1 mile of WATP (Walk Away the Pounds) at around 11am, then started again and did the whoe 2 miles around midnight.  Crazy, right?
Since Yumna started school, I’ve been often falling asleep with the kids when I put them to bed around 8:30pm.  I was under [...]

The Ups and Downs

Weight today is 175.4  (+0.8lbs)
Exercise yesterday was 8 minutes of Walk Away the Pounds, before I got interrupted and never got back to it.
Eating wasn’t as stellar as I would of liked it to be.  There was an encounter with a Jr. Whopper.  Don’t ask.
Hope you are all having a wonderful day.  Today will be [...]

A Great Start

So this morning I weighed in at 174.6 - 2 lbs lost in one day!!!!! I attribute it completely to the large amount of crystal light I drank yesterday.  I completely dilute the mix.. I use one of the single crystal lights for my whole jug of water.  This gives my water a little bit [...]

176.6

Seriously!  I’ve gained almost 2lbs in two weeks.  This is really bad.  Okay.  So starting with accountability I am going to give every day reports of my exercise and weight (Monday-Friday).  I think this is the only way.

Going in the Right Direction

I’m not weighing in until Monday.  I think I’ve driven myself crazy weighing in every day.  I am tired of being disappointed every time I get on the scale.
Yesterday, after dropping off Yumna to school and DH to the train station, we went to visit a friend of mine who has kids.  She is also [...]

No Excuses

Okay, so I’ve already been home a week and NADA.  I haven’t lost anything, in fact I’m pretty sure I gained.
I said to my husband that I really need to take a new approach to losing weight.  And he said “Yeah, you think the eating whatever you want and not exercise approach just isn’t getting [...]

I’m back!

So I went back to work, and Safiya went to daycare.. and it was a huge huge huge disaster.  I was having regrets about going back, and Safiya was not handling being away from me at all.  I knew she was crying a lot at daycare, but I thought it was going to get better.  [...]

Update

So much has happened since I last posted.  My friend past away on Sunday, I went for the funeral prayer on Monday.  It was very emotional and trying. I’ve never seen someone so sick in my life.  In some ways I tell myself that it is probably a mercy for her and her family to [...]
