Trouble Spots!
#1 Wanting to lose weight quickly. I sometimes feel discouraged about how far I am away from reaching my goals. It is hard to just stick to the health plan when I see the scale go back up even when I am eating healthier than ever before.
#2 Losing my routine. Lately I feel like my workout and evening meals are sporatic. I have stop driving and I am letting my family determine what I eat and my workout and sleep patterns. I am afraid if I don't get consistent real soon I could start back sliding. I really want to lose at least 30 pounds and be back to 230 at least. I will mediate on solutions.

I have not been weighing myself. I am adjusting to temporarily moving back to my apartment since my aunt is in town.
I did walk yesterday as well. On monday I did one mile of walk away the pounds. I also climbed stairs at lunch time and yesterday I did interval jogging.
My spirits are high, but I realize losing weight is hard when you have distractions. I have to develop a plan to stay focused this month and really hit my target. I also have to reign in my sweet tooth!

Setback
My Aunt came to town and I fell off track this Easter weekend. This was my first weekend out of the house with my husband in 6 months. I did good on friday, but today was a different story here are my updates for the past two days!
Friday
Breakfast- orange , 20 almonds
Lunch- salad
Snack- yogurt
dinner- salad
late snack- popcorn, starburst 2, lemon heads 10
no weigh in
no exercise
Saturday
Breakfast- granola bar, lemonade
Lunch- cheese pizza
Dinner- shrimp, fried and grilled, mash potatos, salad, biscuts 2, crab cake
snacks- jelly beans and hot chips
exercise- walk away the pound 2 miles, lots of walking in the mall
No weigh in
Confession:
I went to the movies and I made really poor eating choices there. I also did not make the best choices when I went out to dinner this evening. After dinner my husband and I went shopping. I was so depressed, because there was only one plus sized store in the mall. I couldn't fit anything in the mall. I looked in the dressing room mirror and saw how large my thighs were and instantly I felt so low. Thats when I went on a shopping spree in walmart and bought a whole new wardrob of comfortable, fashionable clothes that fit. I am still working on boosting myself estem. I did not know it was this easy to slip.
Speaking of sliping I think the real thing that caused me to slip was becoming insecure about my diet. After reading the fat smash diet I was eating too few calories and that I was in danger of having my body store every thing as fat. I am greatful I did those five days of hardcore fruit and vegeatble intake. I talked to my husband about modifying my plan to have an extra yogurt and some more healthy snacks like popcorn and fruit and he said, "no baby stick to your plan." I was crushed, because we had just had a discussion the other day about how he would diet and he said he would only eat one or two meals a day. I felt he was pressuring me to lose weight using dangerous means. I got upset and told him that I was quitting my plan and that he could develop one from me.
I am calming back down and trying to get a plan in place to get through Easter Sunday, my family is going to an all you can eat Buffet. I think I am going to take a deep breath and have some salad and fish and plenty of water. I am also going to make myself a smoothie and have a v8 before going. I am going to make some modifications to my eating plan for next week, I will eat the same food for breakfast and lunch and add salads for dinners for the next two weeks. I will also add in some healthy snacks. I plan to get in a lot of 30 minute walks to. I see to be more motivated to go outside and walk so I am going to ride that wave for now.
Too all the ladies that are struggling with excess weight, know that the weight does not define you. You are beautiful and worthy of love. Losing weight takes time, take slow steps in the right direction and never stop trying.

Basic Maneuvers!
I am realizing that I have to have a game plan for when unexpected things like holidays and family visits take place so that I don't get derailed from my plan. I am going to keep my bed time and wake up time and I am going to definitely work out this evening, but I am going to make my workouts count in the morning and stick to my diet like crazy glue while family is in town. I may even take my workout up a notch while they are in town! I am in it to win it and I will not give up!!!!!!!!!!

Closing the back door and progress report!
I have been doing some reflecting on what pitfalls have trapped me in fat that I was not aware of. I think the first pitfall was eating fast food for dinner. I would eat great while at work and then eat out with my family. After watching fast food nation I knew that had to stop! The second pitfall was after dinner snacking. I would follow my plan even when I was eating cereal for dinner and I would slip up when it came to snacking. I switched from cereal for dinner and I saw fast improvement. My obervation today is that my knew pitfall is eating carb foods cooked by my family. I have been eating home cooked comfort food like corn bread and potatos!!!!! While eating out is dangerous it is also dangerous to eat comfort or soul food. I even ate some potato salad. My family has been cooking more since I stopped eating out, but now they are bringing in the heavy carbs. Well I am offically closing my back door and becomindg anti-social. I read, "Secrets of a Former Fat Girl" and I remember her writing about how family unknowingly try to sabotage your weight-loss plan. My good natured, loves to cook grandma is cooking childhood favorites, and while I hate to hurt grandma's feelings, my thighs don't have anymore room. PS: Watchout for husbands too!

Weigh in and fitness update!
First I weight 262.4lbs. I now weight myself in the morining. I get up at 5:00 am so I can do a 20 min workout at 5:30am. I realize I am heavy and that makes jumping pretty hard for my body. Right now I am not fit enough to do the Biggest Loser Jump Start. I will be switching to Leslie Sansome's walk away the pounds. I will still do some strength moves, but I really need low impact cardio to help me shed pounds so that I can be fit enough to do jumping jacks.
