thanks, sorry I ahve ot posted her. I have been lazy in posting but doing okay. I am still working out some I do get 2-3 days in but its not enough I know. I am eating some better. Then I got sick sunday oh it was bad I lost 5lbs in 2 days not the way I want to lose weight by any means, but would not mind if it stayd off. Food right now repulses me, I did have toast yesterday (kaitlin made it for me ) and a little soup. So far only tea today I just cant stomach food right now. I will try some soup later. I am weak today but at work.

You have no need to be sorry about not posting. I totally understand. Sorry you are not feeling well, take it slow in re-introducing food. I hope you are feeling better soon.

[Kaitlin'smom]

Hey Di,

Haven't checked in a while, how are you doing? Hope you are feeling better.

[Kaitlin'smom]

I am doing fine, I have not checked the scale in a while but I do feel like I have lost something (or I hope) I do need to get back to the working out. thanks for checking in on me.

Anytime, that is what these journals are for. I haven't been writing much, stressing too much about what is going on in real life right now. WI is tonight so we will see what happens.

Keep it up, Di. You will get there. Stay motivated.

[Kaitlin'smom]

I hope to get there, I have been feeling starving the last few days with AF and some days were not good and today I am really tring not to eat such junk and so far so good.....now if I could just find the time to work out all woudl be good. I do miss it.

[coasterqueen]

Keep it up. Working out seems to be a love hate relationship.

[Kaitlin'smom]

I want to do it, I normaly like it but I just cant seem to find the time. I need to find the time make the time. I am going to try next week to get up earlier and either go to the gym or do it at home. I need to do this, I want to do it. Time to dig outt he cute capri's I have for spring and hang them up for modivation.

Di,

I know what you mean about time. I can usually make time after the girls go to bed, but that's not until around 8 pm or so and Dh still needs to be around for the gazillion times the girls get up and down so I can focus on my workout. What I want to find time to do is go to the gym. I LOVED taking classes, but the only ones I enjoy are offered at 5:30 pm. So we'd have to rush to pick up the girls, put them in gym daycare so we can workout, then go home cook dinner, etc, etc.

[Kaitlin'smom]

see thats my problem right now is I have to wait till Kaitlin is in bed 8:30ish and right now with this dreary weather I am just so tried by that time I dont want to do it, as much as I dont want to get up earlier I am going to try just to see if I can get a work out in before the day begins, maybe once I get used to it it wont be a big deal and I can go to bed earlier to make up the time sleeping (well okay thats not going to happen)

Hi Di,

No worries about getting in your activity, it will come. I for the longest time struggled with getting it in, until I just put my foot down with the boys and told them I had to do this. When they were younger, I just tried to do it in little 10 minute spurts throughout the day. I would go up and down the stairs at home for 10 minutes then run off and do what needed to be done.. Even at work on my lunchtime I would do leg lifts under my desk as I ate and count that as some of my activity. Now that my boys are older there is no excuse for me not to do it, they are pretty self sufficient and know that dad can help them too.

Hang in there, it will all come together. I too tried the early morning route but that didn't last long as I am not a morning person.

Chin up, you have made the first step in planning it and trying to get it in.

Happy Valentines day, just checking in to see how you are doing.

Have a great day.

[Kaitlin'smom]

Thanks Terri, I am doing okay I have nto steped ont he scale in a while and I am working on getting up eariler to get some work outs in, eventually I will get there. I just hate this weather and the lack of real modivation slowy I will get there. I do need to dig out the pants I want to wear and have those as the check in more than the scale.

[booey2]

I can totally relate to the lack of motivation, I was just wondering how you were doing, not worried about the scale movement. I agree that sometimes our clothes are a better reflection of how we are doing in our weightloss journeys.

Take care.
