Today was a complete failure.

I'm finding that I'm not getting enough sleep lately, so tonight I'm doing this journal entry and going to sleep. Due to the lack of sleep, I want to nap during the day, and just lounge. Plus, it's keeping me from eating breakfast because I just get up and take care of the kids and head back to bed for another hour or so...then it's too close to lunch time to want to eat breakfast. UUUGGGHHH!! So, until I can be better disciplined with the food and activity portion of the day, I am going to get more disciplined about going to bed. As of tonight, I will no longer stay up past 10:00. (Which is 8 minutes away - and I'm already in bed.)

Last night was bad because I stayed up FOREVER to see when Ike hit and where it was going to go next. Even my 7 year old was up 'til midnight - and he's normally in bed by 8:00. So then I spent most of the day on the phone or whatnot telling family in GA exactly where I was located on the map and that everything completely blew to the east of us - we got NOTHING. And of course, I had to watch GA beat South Carolina (though it was a bad, bad game on our part). So that, and talking to my husband online made for a very lazy day. I should have gotten moving after he went to bed, but I've just been "blah" feeling all day today.

Tomorrow is church and whatnot - so I have no excuses - I have to get up, I have to get moving in the morning and I have to get on with the day. I normally do much better on the activity when I'm up and going before 8:00....keep me in bed later than that and the day is pretty much a wash. So I've set my alarm, and I'm getting off here so I can meet my new 10:00 curfew. Good night everyone!!

Well, yesterday was far from my best of days. Eating wasn't terrible if you look at caloral intake. However, healthwise, it wasn't the best. I missed breakfast because I stayed up late and got my son off to school on time, but came home to nap - sleeping through breakfast. So then I over-ate at lunch, had two hot dogs, which isn't horrible because I don't add anything to them - but I felt GROSS afterwards. (Which I guess is good because I used to be able to take down two dogs no problem. Maybe I'm doing something right then??) Therefore, when it came time for dinner, I wasn't interested - was still full from lunch. So I know it's not "bad", but I feel like I'm sabatoging my diet already.

Exercise was a failure yesterday. Basically, I walked to and from the car, to the mailbox, etc. All the stuff I do every day - whether I want to or not. I didn't even wash dishes or anything yesterday.

It's not like I'm tired, or discouraged, I don't know what's up... The ONLY thing I can think of is that with staying up all night, and not getting much rest, and then sleeping in, I completely screwed up my schedule. Hopefully today will be better and I can prove to myself that staying up was the culprit.

The few good things that came from yesterday.... I found out that my husband is also working out during this deployment (which is soooooooo not like him) - he's not really watching what he eats, because out there it's kind of, take what you can get, but he's exercising - so that's wonderful! (Maybe the thought of coming home to a sexy wife is making him self-conscious - lol.) The other thing, I got to catch up with Cherie (dontwant2befat) on yahoo - that was nice! If any of you other guys/gals want to catch me on yahoo, my ID is: jade_i_parks . That's not my e-mail address, just the yahoo name, but I'm usually always on. May not be in front of the computer - but Yahoo is my life-line to my husband, so I'm always signed in.

Well.....here's to a better Friday and a wonderful (and wet - here in TX) weekend!!

12 setembro 2008

Normally I would 'weigh in' on Sundays, but with the storm coming, we don't know what weather will be pushed our way the the way of wind, storms and tornados. Therefore, in case I don't have power this weekend, I wanted to make sure I've done my weigh-in in time for my challenges.

I don't think I did great, but a pound and a half is nothing to be upset about by any means! I didn't do wonderfully about following a diet. As I said in an earlier post, once truly paying attention to the nutritional information on my foods, I found that I needed to make some big changes. My activity level is higher than it's been in over 2 years, so that's nothing to be upset about either! I know it needs to be more, and it will...first I just had to prove to myself that I could stick to the little goals.

I also found out a couple hours ago that my husband will be here sooner than we thought!! He'll be a late birthday present for me by a few days. :-) I won't be where I had wanted to be physically by then, but at least he knows I'm trying, and he's trying as well, so we can have a good three weeks enjoying each other without going over-board with the food!! YEA!

** On a side note about the storm....I'm in central Texas....far north of Galveston, so we should be fine. But I've gotten all of the 'essentials' for tornados and whatnot, so no worries there!! :-)

Okay...it's going to say September 11th on my journal, but it's actually still the 10th for me. Yes, it's 1:21 in the morning, but since I haven't been to sleep yet, it hasn't changed the date yet -- that's my thinking at least, no matter how derranged! LOL

Sooooo, since it's the 11th, I would first like to give my thoughts to the millions affected by the Twin Towers!! It definitely didn't only affect those in NY at the time or the family members of the victims. It affected so many more than can be thought of! Every soldier that's fighting right now - every family member or loved one of theirs, every innocent civilian in the countries that where we're fighting....I could go on and on. Today, 7 years ago, CHANGED THE WORLD!!!

And TODAY, will continue to change MY world forever!! As I continue on with my own fight...the fight over my self-control...and this is a fight I am DETERMINED to win!! This week, the food may have won the battle, but the war will be MINE!

I'm still needing to tweek my intake better. Since writing out the nutritional information on some of my meals this week (started that 'religiously' on Saturday), I've found that I was doing better on some instances than I thought, but really need to buckle down on others!! One good thing is that I'm definitely eating breakfast every day. That may seem like a small feat to some of you - but trust me, it's huge for me. LOL.

One other thing I found today....I do actually like fruit!! LOL. As I said yesterday, I'm a texture person, so there are VERY few fruits I can bring myself to eat - apples, strawberries and grapes. Anything past those and you can probalby forget it. But today I went to the store - I bought some apples to have in the fridge, I got some bagels (going to have half a bagel with peanut butter for breakfast for some protien), some cereal bars for quick breakfasts (though I won't buy them again I don't think - not impressed with the protien levels on this brand - will go back to my old brand).....and more importantly, I bought some dried fruit!! Decided it wasn't going to hurt me to give them a try, and if I liked them, WHAM, easy snack! So I bought the Welch's variety pack of dried fruit - they come in pre-portioned 90 calorie packs. There's Tropical Sensations, Berry Medley and Mixed Fruit. I had the mixed fruit one -- apples, cherries, pineapple, cranberries & raisins. Oh man - they were soooooo good! And it definitely killed my hunger for a few hours - great snack for me. :) ((Now, the sugar is a little scary in some of them, the Mixed Fruit was the best with a whopping 17g of sugar!!))

So...since I was enjoying my dried fruit, I was curious...How much dried fruit would you have to eat in order to equal a true serving of fruits for the day?? The pack didn't have any of that info designated on it, and since I was waiting outside my son's school for him to get out, I couldn't get on the Net to find out. Therefore, I did the next best thing...I called Welch's. LOL. And the poor lady, after searching through three different notebooks and telling me she couldn't find the answer, she got it! 1/4 cup of dried fruit = one daily serving of fruits!! :) YEA - newfound knowledge - LOVE IT!!

09 setembro 2008

Over all, today was a great day! I feel really happy with the walking I accomplished today, and I know that I'll be able to continue and increase the work outs. Even my son was okay with the amount of walking we did from the car to his school (probably a little over 1/4 mile) - so I'm hoping to make that a very regular routine!

My eating needs to get a little better - I did force myself to have breakfast, but nothing too healthy the rest of the day. Nothing HORRIBLE, but no fruits or veggies or anything. So I need to get better with that. I'm a big texture person, so I find that a lot of fruits and veggies just don't agree with my pallet. But I've heard of some 90 calorie pouched dried fruit - I'm going to go check that out. I need to start forcing myself to have little snacks so I don't have the urge to binge come dinner time. It's all definitely a work-in-progress for me!!

Good night everyone!
