Day 3- better!
Well, yesterday I worked from home. Working from home again today. Got caught up with most of my friends here yesterday, so going to stay off here the rest of today and try to focus. I also have bowling with David tonight.
Yesterday was better:
Coffee with 1/2 & 1/2 (3 cups), 16 oz water, oatmeal with 1/2 cup 1% milk, strawberries, blueberries, fat free hot dog with bun, 2 slices of sausage pizza, fat free yogurt, 2 cups of decaf unsweetened iced tea (with Splenda.) I did Wii Walk it Out for 60 min, Walked the dog for 20 min, 5 min bender ball crunches. Ate 1290 calories, burned 2010. (was going to eat a banana and then forgot, so calories were slightly lower than the 1400 I am trying to get to.) Day 3 in a row over 12000 steps! Did 12,083.
So for the next few days:
Going to focus on the 1400 calories and over 10,000 steps. Water could be a little better. I need to get to bed by 10:30 pm or 11pm so I can get up and go to the Y in the AM. Going to try to get there tomorrow. Need to get back to my weights. Need to push myself on my Y goal. No sweets yesterday. Yay! I also have been trying to remember to take all of my vitamins everyday. So 3 days in a row of taking my vitamins. And my belly fat is the reason I think that is holding me back from going down a size. I know it is just a number but very frustrating that my sister is maybe 140 lbs and I am 151 lbs (yes, dropped a lb.) And she wears a size 4 and I am still at a 12. So going to try to do more ab exercises and bender ball every night.
WHEN I get down to 136 lbs, I am going to clean out my closet. Can't wait!
I just finished my book, "Vanish" by Tom Pawlik the other day. Very good book. The genre is Christian thriller/suspense. Very interesting book. I just ordered the sequel, Valley of Shadows. Can't wait to read it.

Go Yvette Go!!! I am sure you will rock this goal! It is so hard pulling ourselves up out of bad habits. I am still struggling! But I am super proud of you for being so proactive about food and exercise...claiming your power!
Watch out for hail! LMAO!!!
Love ya!
Wow You have it all together.... 1400 calories - over 10,000 steps and water!
Keep up the great effort!
WooHoo! You are doing so wonderful with the exercise! :) What an inspiration!!! Hope your summer is getting off to a good start...and keeps it up! (((HUGE HUGS)))
You go Yvette. You will do it.
One question.... you sister is a size 4 at 140 and your only 11 lbs more and size 12 how does that work? You should be a size 8 or 10 one size per 5lbs.?????
You will get there.. You are on a roll.
In your heat make sure you get the water in. it \'s so important especially when you are exercsing so much.
@Zecilkl: I know. It is very frustrating! Everyone says that maybe I am carrying the weight different? I am a definite pear shape. She really lost her butt and thighs. My size 14\'s are a little big. My size 12\'s fit well. Size 10\'s can get them zipped but would not dare wear them anywhere. By my calculations and based on what my size and weight were before I gained the weight, I am going to need to lose 40 lbs more to get to a size 4! I have people say to me they are a size 10 or a size 12 and they look so much bigger than me. So like I said it is very frustrating.
