What Can I Change in Eight Weeks? Part Four

Sometimes everything seems dead and thorny
It can be hard to see past the desperate situation



Thank you for coming over to read the final part of
What I Can Change!
It might be the final, but it won't be the last!

Week Seven
Part One, What I Can Change in Eight Weeks!
Part Two, What I Can Change, Part Two
Part Three, What I Can Change, Part Three!


*January 29*
Monday
 I didn't change my exercise routine, this week. I can stick with this plan for two more weeks. Ate some sodium bombs on Sunday and Monday.

*Jan 30*
Tuesday
The snow missed us. That doesn't bother me. The best snow storm is the one that never happens.

*Jan 31*
Wednesday
I had a huge, major setback, today. I seem to have gained three pounds in two days. As you can imagine. That has made me extremely upset. It feels like two steps forward and two steps back. Feels like spinning wheels.

Now that I have had my pity party. Time to pick myself up. Dust  off the fluff and keep on moving. Can't let a small setback derail my progress. Maybe it's just water weight?

I did reach my exercise goal.
I had to give myself the You Are Amazing sticker.
I was feeling so bummed




*February 1*
Thursday
Two steps forward and two steps back. Sounds like a dance?
So I'm going to be cheesy and dance.


*Feb 2*
Friday
It was definitely water weight. I weigh myself three times a week. It only really counts on Sunday. Unless it starts to bum me out.

It's really cold outside!





*Feb 3*
Saturday
Been having a hard day. Going to use prayer and faith not food to get me through.
Started over by working on my Number 3 New Year's Resolution.

New Year's Resolution Update!




*Feb 4*
Sunday
Last weeks weight 136.9
This weeks weight 140.2

The scale isn't my enemy. Food isn't my enemy. Some types of food are full of sodium and cause water weight gain.
 
Update on Saturday. The situation that grieved me so terribly. I would have usually drowned my sorrow in a bag of cheese snacks. I didn't the situation was a miracle. Not turning to food was a miracle Thank You Lord!

Plus a what could have been a major snow storm. Ended up being a rain event. Double Thank the Lord!


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Week Eight

*Feb 5*
Monday
The crisis on Saturday. That would have upset me so much in the past. Has fully resolved. Thank you Lord!

I can't wait until next week. When I get to change my exercise routine. I am getting so bored with my current one.

Mandie was sick all this weekend. She is much better now

It was supposed to be cold and frigid today. It really wasn't that bad.

*Feb 6*
Tuesday
Had planned to hide rocks today. Small crisis instead, but life is what happens when you've made other plans.
 
*Feb 7*
Wednesday


This song has helped my out so much! I hope that it can help you, too.

*Feb 8*
Thursday
Had another crisis, today. Why does life have to be one crisis after another? It's so hard.

*Feb 9*
Friday
Note to self. Don't drink coffee close to bed time. It will result in staying wide awake. Plus your skin feeling like you have the creepy crawlies. The only way to describe Creepy Crawlies is crickets running through my skin. With little Tasers tied to their legs. So annoying. 

*Feb 10*
Saturday
Had a bad cold. Couldn't exercise today. Could barely put one foot in front of the other. That is a good excuse. 

 
*Feb 11*
Sunday
Week One 142.6 (Monday 12/18/17)
Last Week 140.2
This week 139.8
Total Lost in eight Weeks? Almost 3lbs
 
Had a calzone for lunch. I used to love stuff like that. Now that I am trying to eat healthier. It wasn't all that great.

Pictures From Week One!








Pictures From Week Eight!
 
 


In Conclusion!
Lessons from the past eight weeks? I can do this! With exercise and making better food choices. Never been able to stick to a strict diet. Cut out an entire food group. (This girl eats pasta. Not Zoodles real pasta) Monitoring the triggers in my life that cause a binge. Dealing with them. Instead of binging. I can do this!


While this is the final blog of this series. It is far from the last. Hope to see you again soon!

What Can I Change in Eight Weeks? Part Three

Still using Marbles to measure my weight loss.
I think officially I have lost two marbles, hahahahahaha!
This is a good kind of marbles to lose though


I am so glad that you are back. I appreciate my readers so much!
                                      





Week Five
Part One of this blog What I Can Change in Eight Weeks!
Part two What I Can Change! Part Two!




 *January 15*
Monday
Hair appointment tomorrow! Getting my hair done is one of my favorite things.


Sharing pictures of this cutie because I can.
Definitely not a shaggy dog. Just a sweet little dust bunny
*Jan 16*
Tuesday
Learned something new. The frigid cold air. Has kept the snow totals low. Some how it creates a barrier and keeps the snow off the coast. That is really great. Snow ruins everything. Winter ruins everything. Winter is Evil!




After
Before








*Jan 17*
Wednesday
Dusting of heavier snow today. Still easy to clean up. I got my first flu shot, ever.
The Flu season has just been awful. Plus I just watched the Spanish Flu episode of Downton Abbey. I bet they would have gotten a vaccine if it had been available.

*Jan 18*
Thursday
Small setback and a little meltdown! Pity Party table for one! Wondered why do I even bother? Felt like quitting. Then I got down to business. Went and did my Thursday exercise.

Once again!
Time to cue the tiny violin


Tried Kombucha yesterday. I love it! Kind of spendy, but hopefully the probiotics will keep sickness at bay.



My old girl is going to be 14 this year!

*Jan 19*
Friday
The weather was beautiful today. I wish we could keep this weather. It will be very beautiful for a couple days, at least



*Jan 20*
Saturday
Today is my dad's birthday!
This is an interesting day. How to eat birthday cake and enjoy myself. Without going crazy.
Dad wanted Steak for his birthday dinner
Boiled some potatoes with it
Mom doesn't like Steak. So she had turkey
Meatballs and pasta.
Which turned out to be awful. Sorry mom
I did good today. There was no binging and I did exercise.




The Steak was great, but this is what I really want

*Jan 21*
Sunday
Last Week 141.5
This Week 140.7

A life without cake is no life at all
Or at least a very sad one. A life
without cake makes me 'that diet person'


Week Six

*Jan 22*
Monday
This is usually the time that I give up. Resolve to do better next time.  Or I will start over again, tomorrow. They tell me the definition of insanity. Is doing the same thing over and over. While expecting a different result.
No more insanity!

*Jan 23*
Tuesday
Had some distressing news. I am not going to feed my sadness with food.

*Jan 24*
Wednesday
Has it been 21 days yet? I heard that to make something a habit takes 21 days. It is taking me a little longer.

What do you do?
When your mom makes homemade pound cake?
You eat a slice. At least I do. I am not going to turn down cake.
Ever!


She looks so cute! Just had to share

*Jan 25*
Thursday
Was feeling a little blah. That my progress isn't is fast as I would like. Then I remembered. Rapid progress means I gain the weight back. Just as quickly. I want this weight to be gone forever. I want to be the 5% that finds success. Not the 95% that fails over and over.

*Jan 26*
Friday
Tried to talk myself out of exercising. All the way through.
Time to change it up a bit.

*Jan 27*
Saturday
I was planning on changing my exercise plan on Monday. Now I'm not so sure. Maybe I will, maybe I won't.


*Jan 28*
Sunday
A dress I wore for Christmas is a little loose.
Not as loose as I would like. I still have a lot of work to do.

Last week 140.7
This week 139.6
