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.
