What a joke!  I am still completely lacking any motivation to do anything about losing weight.  I thought that when spring arrived I’d be feeling like walking every day and eating more healthy.  But, nope- I was wrong.  If anything I’m actually doing worse.  I don’t know what my problem is but I’m feeling down and so blah lately and I just can’t get motivated to do anything.

Stop by Bye Bye Fat Mom to meet the other moms who are actually doing something about losing weight.

Things are not any better this Friday than they were last Friday.  I didn’t even weight myself because I am currently hiding from my bathroom scale.  I don’t know what my problem is.  The weather is nice so I should be getting outside to walk.  But, I just want to sit around doing nothing but lots of snacking.  I have to get myself motivated to start exercising and stop eating so much junk.

Check out Bye Bye Fat Mom to see how the other participants did last week.

So, I haven’t participate in Fitness on Friday with the girls over at Bye Bye Fat Mom. I’ve been busy lazy.  I participated for a couple of weeks, lost 5 pounds and then started slacking.

A few days ago we were getting ready to go somewhere.  I put on a shirt I really wanted to wear and it was a bit snug way too tight.  I thought if I kept my stomach sucked in, it wouldn’t be so bad.  So, a few minutes later Rich said, “I want to tell you something, but I know I shouldn’t say it.”  And I said, “What?  My shirt is too tight?”  And he nodded, looking a bit worried about what he had said.  As I was changing into a different shirt Rich said, “You’re changing?”  And of course I was irritated with him.  But, really it’s myself I should be upset with.

The weather is finally nice here, so I put on a pair of shorts the other day.  They fit but were a little bit too tight for me to really be comfortable.  They fit me perfectly last summer- and even though I only weight a few pounds more this year it really makes a difference.

Of course I am feeling depressed with myself and I just want to sit around and snack all day.  That should help, right?  I should post about how I’m going to start eating better and exercising but honestly, right now, I feel no motivation at all to do any of those things. 

What a cheery post, huh?

It’s time for round 2 of Fitness on Friday, being hosted by Natalie over at Bye Bye Fat Mom. 

I had a surprising weight loss this week.  I was shocked when I stepped on the scale this morning and saw that I had lost three pounds since last Friday.  Shocked.  When I saw the number I got off of the scale, looked it over to make sure I hadn’t broken it, stepped on it again and still saw the same number.

This week has not been good~ I didn’t drink very much water and I didn’t exercise very often.  My stress level has been at an all time high this week so the only thing I can think of is that I have been so stressed that I have forgotten to eat.  So, I guess that’s the good thing. 

Anyhoo, my goals for this week are:

• Drink at least 4 glasses of water each day.
• Exercise everyday with 2 days off.

~5 pounds to go to reach my first mini goal by April 11th (and get my reward of getting my hair done)
~24 pounds to go to reach my final goal

Well, here we are at the 1st Fitness on Friday.  Each Friday Natalie will host Fitness on Friday at her Bye Bye Fat Mom blog (dontcha just love that name?).  I need a little accountability and motivation with my weight loss and I’m really hoping that joining this group will help me.

I was weighing in on Mondays- so since Monday I have lost a big old 1 pound.  Which is better than last week when I lost a big old 0.  I have been exercising this week and the motivation plan I talked about here- it’s working!  And I have lost inches this week too- which I know is way more important than pounds, especially since I have started exercising.

I’ve done pretty good with all of my snacking too.  I’m still snacking but not nearly as much.  I think I have replaced my snacking with coffee drinking.  Since I stopped nursing Hailey a few weeks ago my coffee consumption has been quite high.  I guess that wouldn’t be too bad if I didn’t use so much creamer.

Anyhoo- my main goals for this week are:

• Drink 4 glasses of water per day (baby steps people, baby steps)
• Continue exercising everyday (with one day off each week)

27 pounds to go!
