Better, but I still hate mirrors
I got to the Y this AM. 2.51 miles on the treadmill, 40 minutes. 20 minutes of lower body weights. I did 40 crunches on my bender ball last night and shooting for 40 more tonight in front of the boob tube. I was really tired today. Hopefully once I get back in my routine of getting up early and getting to the Y, I won't be so tired. Boy, it was really hard keeping going this AM! I was just dragging!
Food was good yesterday. coffee with Splenda and 1/2 & 1/2, 16 oz water, granola cereal, 1% milk, chicken thigh (roasted no skin), carrots, peach, spaghetti w/meatballs, asparagus, decaf iced tea with lemon and Splenda. Did Wii Walk It Out for 71 minutes! Woo Hoo! Burned 2082 caolories yesterday, ate 1424 calories. Did over 15,000 steps. And Yoohoo: no eating after 9:30pm!
Ok, so today is day 3 of clean eating/no junk food. Ate oatmeal for breakfast, coffee this AM, PBJ for lunch, an apple, and some fat free kettle corn rice snacks (only 60 calories for 7, and I ate 14.) tonight is steak and baked potato and a veggie. I am staying clear of the bread! Depending on where my calories come in, I may eat a 100 calorie ice cream sandwich.
I am on the road tomorrow so going to have to prepare and pack something for the road that is healthy.
RE: my previous post:
Yes, 110 lbs is at the lower end of my range. My goal is 110-120. I am very very pear shaped/bottom heavy which is a huge self esteem problem for me. I can't say where I will stop but 110 is my max and 120 is my min. My mom is 65 years old, 5' tall and weighs maybe 100 lbs. I look a lot like her and have the same body structure. I know I will weigh more than her. I am 1" taller and also I am working out so more muscle. (My mom is thin but could really use some toning up.) I am aware that 110 may be unrealistic. My sister is 130 or slightly less and is 5'2". She is also much bigger chested and bigger boned than me. So between the books I have been reading, etc, this is where I need to be. I guess I will know when I get there?
Re: skirts, man there is NO way I can where a skirt right now. Between my height and weight and where I carry it all, I either look like I am wearing a ballon or a tent! Ick! But I am tired of black pants! So bender ball, here I come. I am at 9300 steps so far today. Food is good and also just finished my 3rd bottle of water!
Last night all I could think: I want pizza, I want choclate ice cream, I want bread, I want chocolate cake, I want potato chips, I want Doritoes..... It was horrible! Then I remembered what I looked like in that darn mirror. Stopped me cold! My husband sat and ate cookies in front of me and I did not want them. How bad do I want it this time? That is what I have to show myself.

Sorry but I had to laugh out loud about the skirt remark - only because I understand the thinking as I have walked a similar road on this. So put that on your list of things to come. You are determined and you are ready to do what you have to do.
Ah ha sorry but you made me laugh too. OK you know what\'s best, and like you say, you will know what looks and feels right when you get there. You have your head on straight and I shall follow your lead and try to straighten mine. LOL re the skirts. Too funny.
Doritos = Enemy. Bad, bad Doritos!
You gave me a cuckle. LOL I can picture those skirts. I don\'t were them either or even a dress. The last dress I wore at my brother\'s wedding made me look like a dumby person. I think you are doing great with your exercises and diet. Keep up the good work and stay away from those Doritos.
Great job with the exercise keeping going. You will get to your goal. You have motivation.
Strange when i read about the skirt i felt sad. But your description is funny
Take care you are going strong keep it up. I will follow your lead.
