week one.

It has been one heckofa week. I have done fairly well on my "diet" (I really hate that word). I haven't really done a lot of serious working out. I decided I will do everything gradually. Probably not the best approach, but I am trying a different one since I tried the gung ho approach 1,258,654,952 times and it never worked.
Last week I was 202.4
This week I am 195.8
Yes, I have had progress.
No, my clothes are still fitting the same. =(

BUT you know what I have noticed the most that is not so swell? My mood.

The past two days I have been unbearable...my poor family and coworkers. I have had multiple good cries. I am irritable. I say things that are hurtful...and then I wonder if it is even worth being on a "diet".

Paul must have known I was going completely crazy, and I might just explode at any moment...and he was right. So he went and bought Vin some new jammies, and dressed him cute for bed. I love Paul for this, because it made my night when I woke up with him, it made my morning when I went to pick him up from the crib again, and today I am a whole new woman...all from an $8 pair of jammies. Who knew? Paul did, and it is the simple things that make his crazy wife happy.
Here is to another week of weight loss, getting out and riding that Schwinn bike, and eating better for me and my family!

I guess that detox from sugar is a killer!

Congratulations! Weight loss just seems out of reach right now but I would love to be my pre-pregnancy weight and when I say pre-pregnancy I mean two pregnancies ago.

That's AWESOME!! And I <3 those jammies!!! No sugar?? I've found I can't tell my self no to anything or that's all I think about and will end up caving and shoving my face full of that thing I said no to... Good Luck and I hope you can have a better week emotionally...

P.S. I heard about a guy who lost 35 lbs (he had 250 lbs to lose) and NOT ONE PERSON NOTICED!!! And there was NO difference in his clothes!! Can you imagine?? Yeah I would want to give up but he didn't and now he is running marathons!

I love the jammies. I love that your husband did that just to make you happy. He's a keeper.

Angie said...

Way to go!!! 7 pounds is a big deal!!! You're lucky to have Paul...who knows what you need when you need it. And who wouldn't smile if they saw that cute baby in those cute pajamas??! Honestly! :)

That's what good husbands are for. :) Those jammies might just be the cutest things in the world. I'd have a hard time changing him out of them. Way to go on the weight loss, and good luck with the withdrawals. Dieting is no fun, but the results are worth it.

Lace said...

Wow! Evonne! That is seriously impressive! And WOW! Your husband is so thoughtful! That's super cute!

Brenda said...

What a great start! Keep healthy snacks handy... veg. fruit. As far as I know you can have as many as you want when you want. Nuts are also something you can have whenever (I believe).
You can do it!
Way to go Paul!! What a great guy.

That's awesome Evonnne! Way to go! I wish I had your motivation to get my butt in gear. People say exercise is good for the mood. Not that I would know! I crave sweet a lot, and it makes me feel better to HAVE it - but one thing that helps me to curb that sweet tooth is those flavored waters (Like Propel or Vitaminwater). They are sweet, low or no-calorie, plus they have vitamins.

Connie said...

Good luck to you on the weight loss. I'm trying to do the same!

Get your cholesterol checked. Mine kicked my butt with fear. My new motto is "I'm dedicated to staying alive" It's working so far, lol

Jerilee E. said...

yay! good job! Here's to hoping the withdrawals get better. Food totally affects my mood, too. want what I want when I want it.
Love love the jammies- I am partial to monkeys, so those cute little feet are my fave!
