Let me start by saying that I accidentally lost a comment that I intended to post. If you posted a comment and would like it shared with my readers please resubmit so that I may post your comment. I would also like to say that, at this time, I prefer not to advertise products outside of those products that I am currently using. If you are wanting to advertise a product on my blog, please e-mail me with your request. I would prefer that you not send advertisements via comments. Thanks.

Yep, you are right. It has been a while. Once I get behind in my entries it becomes increasingly difficult to get caught up. Here is what I think is good news this time. I didn’t lose any sleep over not being caught up. I simply developed a plan to do a little every day until I had my entry ready to post. My goal is to post everyday that I am not on vacation or on holidays. I didn’t meet this goal; but, I also didn’t let not meeting the goal overwhelm me. This may sound strange to most people. How could somebody possibly be happy when they didn’t make their goal? For some of us, we take things so very seriously that when we slip it is a sign of failure. I am one of those people. For me to not be distraught over not posting my blog for a week is a huge step towards healing this part of me. It means that I am no longer as afraid of failing as I once was. We need to strive to succeed but not everything that is not a success is not automatically a failure, particularly if you can readjust and move forward. I have always said that any experience is a positive experience as long you learned something. I guess I am really starting to apply that even more to my own life.


On the weight front, I haven’t seen a big change on the scale. I am still weighing around 162 pounds. This morning I did notice that my body is starting to change once again. My clothes are beginning to become baggier. Even my new jeans are starting to bag on me. I am hoping that this is a sign that I am going to break this plateau and start losing again. That is exactly what happened last time I started noticing a change in my body. I am really ready to see the numbers start to drop on the scales again.

I have been frustrated and bored for the last week. I have been frustrated with the lack of weight loss and I have been bored with my exercise routine. If you look through My Daily Food Accountabilities below, you will find that I have not been keeping my calories in my goal range. I went slightly over this range most days. More importantly, I would like to point out that my Fiber intake was way down. I think my frustration resulted in some increased eating and a desire to eat more comfort foods. I had part of a footlong chilicheese hotdog and I really have been craving a big bowl of Chili. I denied myself the bowl of chili and settled for a little chili on a hotdog. I am going to work on creating a healthier version of our homemade chili so that I can have the feel of comfort food without breaking my healthy eating plan.

As far as exercise goes, I have managed to run without fail every day for at least the last six weeks. For the last week I have followed through with running a second time about every other day. I have begun strength training by working out my arms with light free weights using controlled movements. I decided to begin my strength training by focusing on my arms since my legs are already getting a workout on the treadmill. My goal is to work out my arms three days a week. So far, this week I have managed to strength train my arms once. I will have to learn how to better fit this training into my schedule over the next week.

I am excited about what the upcoming week will reveal. I am expecting changes to start to take place on the scale. My body is already giving clues to that affect. It should be a good week. Thanks for reading and following my blog. Have a great day!

Tuesday went really well nutritionally speaking. I kept my calorie intake low and my fiber intake high. Wednesday I didn’t do as well. I went to lunch with my daughter and was having a very serious discussion about a decision that she has to make. I usually only eat about half of my entre but this time I ate the whole thing because I wasn’t paying attention to my eating. Distraction is my arch enemy. I have to stay mentally focused to what I am eating and how much I am eating all of the time. It does get a bit tiresome sometimes but the results are well worth the effort. From now on I am going to insist that all serious discussions take place away from the dinner table. Meal time together as a family should be limited to positive discussions. We need to associate eating healthy to positive experiences. All the heavy talk can take place at a later time away from the table. It is very interesting what I am learning about my eating triggers. Understanding these triggers and redirecting to a healthier lifestyle is critical to achieving weight loss.


My husband has made it home from his business trip and I am feeling much better. It is funny how stress even if it is subconscious affects our overall health. Now that I am feeling better, I am going to jump right back into stepping up my running game. I will once again begin working out on my treadmill and extra time 3 days a week. After some careful consideration, I have determined that the best days for me to add a second treadmill session is on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Now that football season is over, I will normally have extra time for working out on these days. Setting up a schedule that is more apt to lend itself to success is optimal.

My daughter, the student trainer for the basketball team at OU, suggested that the addition of strength training to my workout may reinitiate my weight loss. I have to be very careful what strength training exercises that I perform due to a fairly recent injury and chronic pain. The physical therapy that I had after my injury gave me a good set of exercises that should be safe for me to perform. These exercises use resistance bands. Starting tomorrow, I will add strength training with these bands to my exercise regimen. Experts say that you should skip a day before working out the same area of your body. I will work out my upper body on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I will work out my lower body on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Hopefully, this will be exactly what I need to begin losing weight again.

I am glad that you had the chance to read my blog today. Your support is invaluable. Thanks for being my accountability partner. Have a great day.

I am going to have to take a short break from running more than once a day. I am not feeling well and I think my blood pressure is running lower than normal. I can have this problem from time to time. I don’t want to overexert myself while I am feeling this way. I am not sure exactly what the cause of onset was. It could have been stress from my husband traveling for business. It could have been that I am coming down with something. I did wake up pretty congested this morning but my head cleared up quite a bit without meds by mid morning. Whatever the onset, I will feel better before too long and will start back on my goal to increase my hours on the treadmill. For now, once a day will be just fine. We all have limitations that we have to work within.


During this time of taking it easier, I am going to focus on improving my diet. Once again, we have been eating fast food so much that I know it must be negatively affecting my metabolism. I also need to eat more white meat and less red meat. I need to limit my hamburgers to a maximum of one a week and then one every week and a half and then one every two weeks. If I have already had a hamburger for that time period, I will have to select something else on the menu, such as a grilled chicken sandwich. I also am going to focus on eating more vegetables. For me, eating at home more is the best way to do this. That way I can control what is put on the vegetables and limit my intake of butter and other highly processed foods. I haven’t been quite as strict on myself regarding highly processed foods because I am expecting to be working towards my weight loss goals for up to a year. 40 pounds is a lot of weight to lose and will definitely take some time. I have to make changes that I can continue long term. Focusing on these improvements should help me to get my weight loss back on track while I am not running as much as I would like.

I will be curious to see what happens this week while I am focusing more on diet and easing up on my running. I am hoping I can make some real progress soon on my goal to lose 40 pounds by the time I turn 40 years of age. Thanks for reading and following my blog. If you have suggestions that you think may help me to make my goal please feel free to leave a comment. I will not post your comment if you ask me not to. I appreciate all of your support and encouragement. Have a great night.

Slow and steady wins the race or so they say. This weight loss race is definitely following this adage to the letter. I am losing weight very slowly. For the first time I broke 162 pounds with a weight of 161.4 pounds. I think my weight is fluctuating right around 162 pounds now. That is one more pound down with a total weight loss of 8 pounds. I have been rounding the amount of weight that I have lost up to ten pounds since I hit 163 pounds. Problem is now I feel like I am not losing anything. What a mental game this is. I am hoping that I can manage to get down to 160 pounds by the 31st of October. I need to remember not to push myself so hard mentally that I burn myself out. I still have a long way to go. It will be nice if I can be down to 160 pounds by the end of October but I need to remember that I am still ahead of schedule with my weight loss. Any unnecessary added stress could slow my metabolism, therefore, slowing my weight loss and we can’t have that. This is tough enough without all of that nonsense.


I have to confess that I didn’t run twice on Saturday as I had planned. I let other things take priority. I could list all the reason out for you but they are all excuses and there is no point in droning through all of that. On a positive note, I ran an additional time twice this last week. I will meet or beat that this week. My plan is to run twice on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. If I can manage to keep this schedule, I will have run 10 times this week with a total treadmill time of 250 minutes. Not too shabby if I say so myself. Six months ago I would have never thought that this was possible. Look at me now. It is late and I still have to run again before I can go to bed. Thanks for reading and supporting me in this journey.

I am feeling kind of down today. I seem to be at a weight loss plateau and I am not losing even though I kicked up my running this week. I know in my head that the work I am doing today won’t show yet; but it is still getting to me. I really need to see some positive results. I need to not let myself be so dismayed by these temporary results. The fact is that I know as long as I maintain the kind of effort that I have had since I began this challenge, my weight will eventually start to drop again. I will have to suck it up and muster up some patience to keep my stress level down so that my metabolic rate will not slow. I refuse to let my confidence be broken over something so temporary and trivial.


On to a better topic, I heard on the Today Show last week that you can calculate how many calories you can eat to lose weight and the calculation is based on your current weight. The formula is to take your current weight and multiply that number by 10. Since I am hovering around 163 pounds my total calories that I should eat a day to lose weight is 163 times 10 which is 1630 calories. My goal calorie intake range for this challenge has been 1600 to 1700 calories a day. I guess I was pretty close to right on with how many calories I thought I needed to be eating. As I lose weight I will need to readjust my calorie intake to ensure my weight loss.

Yesterday was my son’s game day and game day’s are always hard for me. We don’t have time to eat dinner before we go to the game. Waiting that long to eat causes me to feel very hungry when we go to dinner. I try to curb this feeling by taking a secondary snack with me to the game. I have not mastered the art of choosing the healthiest secondary snack on the planet but I do limit my calorie intake. The problem is that I still eat the same amount of calories for dinner that I would have if I had not had a secondary snack and had dinner at a more reasonable hour. On these days I end up eating an extra 150 or so calories for the day. Doing so kicks me out of my goal calorie intake range. My saving grace is that football season is over for my son and I won’t have to eat so late anymore. As I look back on My Daily Food Accountability for today, I see where I could have made some changes in my dinner to reduce my caloric intake. One, I could have eaten 3 oz’s of chicken fajitas instead of 4 oz’s. Also, I could have reduced the rice or the beans by half. Looking closely at where small changes could be made in my diet will prepare me for the next time I find myself in the same situation.

To finish up for today, I have one bit of good news to share. I did run twice again on Thursday just as I was planning to do. No cop outs. No getting caught up in something else. I made it a priority and I followed through. I am giving myself a huge pat on the back for this one. Overall, I am doing very well and I am proud of what I have accomplished. The work that I have put into this so far has been a challenge and sometimes even difficult; but, it has been well worth all the effort. I want to end this post on a positive note because I know that confidence and positive thinking is what will get me past all the hurdles that I have to cross on the way to losing 40 pounds by the time I turn 40 years of age. Make it a great day. Thanks for reading and following me on my journey.

Thursday, October 22, 2009

Today is one of those days where you think that you are going to have all the time in the world and then you remember everything that you are supposed to do. Tonight is my son’s last regularly scheduled football game. He has another on Saturday that ends the season. I love that my son is playing football and I love to go watch him play; however, I will be glad to have some of my time limitations which restrict when I can write my blog removed by the ending of the football season. Next year I will be slim and trim and will be able to be a true football mom routing for my son without my time being so divided. It is tough for me as it is with any mom choosing even for a time to put myself ahead of my children. You could argue the point that my losing weight will benefit my children in the long run. While I agree with that point, I firmly believe that I had to do this for myself in order to be successful. Taking care of my weight problem now for me will most likely allow me to be a better mom for my children in the future.


As I was saying in my blogs the last few days, my weight was fluctuating a bit instead of moving steadily down as it had been. My official weight for yesterday was 162.8 pounds. This weight is still up slightly over my last reported weight. I have been very careful this week to watch how much I was eating very closely. I also added running a second time three days a week in order to try to kick my metabolism up again. I need to get back on the downward trend. I will do what it takes to stay on or ahead of track to meet my goal of losing 40 pounds by the time I turn 40 years of age. I am driven to make this happen for me. I haven’t been truly slim since the age of 20 when I had my first child. It is very exciting to me the concept of being slim again.

There are a lot of mental challenges to overcome when you are overweight. I was a very insecure woman and have been since I was young. It is an internal war that I am still fighting and most likely will fight at times throughout my life. I was consumed by these insecurities when I was overweight. I felt as if I would never be a confident woman until I lost the weight. I have realized recently that this was not the case. It was confidence that allowed me to make the decision to lose the weight and even more confidence that willed me to do so publicly. I won what I feel was the biggest confidence battle of my life when I was overweight. With each pound I lose, my insecurities and self doubt wanes not because I am losing the weight; but, because the fact that I knew I could lose the weight is reaffirmed. The one thing that I want more than to lose the weight is to be a confident woman who is someone that my children will want to emulate. When I started this challenge, I did not realize that this would also be a journey to discover a new and confident me. Your support helps tremendously. Thanks for reading and following my blog.

I am not feeling very well today. I have a splitting headache so I am going to make this post relatively short. Yesterday went great. My calorie intake was a little below my goal range. I actually followed through and ran twice as I was planning to do. Watching closely my calorie intake and kicking up my running game is starting show on the scale. Tomorrow I will give you an official update on my weight. Thanks for reading and following my blog. Until tomorrow.

I have some bad news. I had pizza Sunday night and now my weight is climbing slightly even though I am running every day. The pizza tasted awesome but the weight gain is not worth it. I think I will save the pizza for a milestone celebration instead of a regular meal. Pizza does not need to be excluded totally from my list of foods that I can have. Deprivation of favorite foods leads to failure in losing weight and/or maintaining that weight loss. I simply need to be educated enough to know how eating that food can affect my body. This knowledge will empower me so that I can make good choices regarding eating my favorite foods. There are several options that I can choose from but they work best when used concurrently. One, I can limit how often I eat my favorite foods without depriving myself completely of these foods. Two, I can eat very healthy for the next few days to make up for the intake of the lesser healthy foods. Three, I can step up my exercise game to compensate for the increased calorie consumption. I am learning that I can enjoy all kinds of foods. With this knowledge I have taken over control of my life and food no longer controls me. Knowledge and applying that knowedge is the key.
Yesterday went really well nutritionally speaking though. My diet was somewhat lower in fiber than usual; but, the calories I consumed for the day was slightly under my target calorie range. Hopefully, yesterday will help to make up for the pizza I had on Sunday.

As far as the exercise front is concerned, I blew it. I intended to run twice yesterday. Unfortunately I started working on something and let time get away from me. The next thing I know, it was 11:00 PM and I still hadn’t run the second time for the day. Initially, I was very upset with myself. I thought about the problem for a moment and came up with a reasonable solution. Sometimes the best solution to a problem is simply a small adjustment. Since the day starts particularly early on Tuesday’s for my husband and the treadmill is in our bedroom, I decided that I would have to forego running last night. Instead, this week, I will slightly alter my plan and run twice on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Howeve, I cannot put off the extra running again. If I do, I will let myself down and short of sudden illness or injury there is no reason why that needs to happen in this case. I can take control of this part of my life. I think I will put an alarm in my phone to remind me just in case I get caught up in something else again tonight.

Good news! I found a way to ensure that I can post My Daily Food Accountability every day. The problem that I have been having is finding the time to enter everything into the computer without interfering with my family’s every day activities. The solution is pretty easy now that my husband is working on the office computer nightly before we go to bed. While my husband is working in the office on the computer, I can enter what I have eaten for the day the night before I post it. This way, my blog doesn’t interfere with our time together. All that is left for me to do the next day is to write my thoughts about the previous day, which seems to be fairly easy for me to do during the baby’s nap. I think this will work really well. It will be so nice to have a routine that is comfortable and works. I should be able to relax now and sleep better at night while still maintaining my blog. I hope that you can find a way to ensure a good nights’ sleep for yourself also. Organize your time so that you can reduce some of the stress that you are feeling. Sleep well for good health and good metabolism. Thanks for reading and supporting me in this challenge.

Yes, I know that it has been a while since my last post. I needed to take a respite and wasn’t sure exactly when I would be able to start posting again. I didn’t want to make anymore promises that I may not be able to keep. I had begun to have trouble sleeping again. This was a result of having entirely too much stress from having too much on my plate. Between my son’s football practice, my husbands’ days off of his second job, trying to get our house ready to sell, trying to get my mom’s house ready to sell, the baby, date night, taking my daughter to lunch, laundry, vacuuming, grocery shopping, my exercise regimen, getting ready everyday and my blog something had to give and the something that had to give was my blog. No worries. I am still working on losing the weight. I knew that if I didn’t ease the stress then my metabolism would slow down and I would start to have trouble losing the weight. Remember that the primary goal for this personal challenge was for me to lose 40 pounds by the time I turn 40 years of age. I will do what it takes to achieve that goal.


If you scroll through My Daily Food Accountability you will find that I had good days and bad days. There are quite a few meals where I couldn’t find nutritional information for the restaurant, the food, or the way I ordered my food. I try to make changes to the meal to make them healthier when I can. One thing that I definitely learned through My Daily Food Accountability is that it is not good enough to do well for two meals and then blow the third. I have got to be more careful of the selections that I am making. We are still eating out way too much. It may not be quite so bad if we weren’t always trying to cut time and money by eating fast food. I know that eating at home is a much better choice. Hopefully, now that my son’s football season is coming to an end we can eat at home more.

I am happy to report my progress in my weight loss goal. As of Sunday October 18, 2009 I weigh 162.6 pounds. That is a total of 7.4 pounds lost so far. I have reached my 2 month goal with nearly two weeks left to go in October, the second month of my challenge. I am on track and ahead of schedule. I am not going to let up. At some point I will most likely plateau and have difficulty losing for a time. I need to be as far ahead of schedule as I can for these points in my weight loss. At ten pounds, I get to go shopping for a few new clothing items. This shopping trip will not only be a reward, it will also be necessary since most of my clothes are really starting to be way to big on me. I am really getting excited about losing even more weight now with the improvements that I am seeing in my body.

As far as exercise is concerned, I have been running everyday without fail for the last month. For the last couple of weeks, I have ramped up my running to 25 minutes. The switch from the 20 minute program to the 25 minute program seemed like little change in difficulty. This week I want to try running twice a day on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and see how this affects my weight loss.

So I am back to my blog and on track for success in my challenge. Thanks for continuing to follow my blog and support me in my goal to lose 40 pounds by the time I turn 40.

Qdoba makes its’ chicken two different ways depending on who the cook is at the time. One way they add all the fat drippings to the chicken and the meat is soaking in these juices. The other way is dry without the drippings added. I believe that these calories are for the chicken with the drippings added. My tacos were the dry chicken. I am hoping I had quite a bit fewer calories than this.

FYI... Entering allof this was a lot of work. I am so glad it is done. :-)

Yes, it’s true. I visited Taco Bell for a quickie yesterday. I know, I said that I had ended the love affair for now. We were in a hurry and were limited to eating in a certain area of town so I caved and chose Taco Bell. Yes, these are excuses that I am giving you. Isn’t that the way it always goes. We find “good” reasons for everything we do including the “bad” things. The fact of the matter is that I have wanted to eat Taco Bell and I have wanted to eat there for a couple of weeks now. I kept my wits about me and only had two crispy beef tacos. The tacos were a nice change of taste. The problem is that I left feeling hungry. I did not feel satisfied hunger wise like I do when I eat the more healthy meals. I was surprised when I looked up the nutritional information to find out that it really wasn’t as bad as I thought it might be. What a relief to know that I didn’t totally blow it. There is a better option that would allow me to have the taste of Taco Bell every once in a while. I could get a taco to take home with me and have vegetables and fruit with my taco. Homemade guacamole with carrot chips would be an awesome accompaniment to the taco. If you haven’t had guacamole with carrot chips, I recommend that you try it. If you like salty chips, add a little extra salt to the guacamole to make up for the salt missing from the chips. Don’t overdo the salt though. Remember that too much salt is not good for you and can cause water retention and weight gain. Having a taco with other healthy foods would allow me to have the occasional taste of Taco Bell and feel much more satisfied in the end.


I have been finding much of my nutritional information for Restaurants on a website that a friend introduced me to on the internet. I will say more about the web site that I have been using in my next informational blog.

No worries everyone. I haven’t quit my healthier eating program or my blog. I have had much going on this last week and had a hard time finding the time to blog. It was State Fair time, my daughters’ birthday and I have been taking care of a sick baby. An ugly reaction of mine has reared its’ ugly head. The more I get behind on something, the less I want to come back to it. This has been a consistent problem throughout my life. At times, I have given up on some things because I did not meet my own personal expectations and have never come back to them. This is a huge mental challenge for me. The reasons for my reaction to getting behind are complex. First, I feel like I have let myself down not blogging everyday as I planned to do. Really, the problem is that I set my goals too high. Given my limitations, I shouldn’t have expected myself to be able to blog every day. It is very hard for me to reset my goals mentally. Somehow, I feel as if I failed already, not being able to stick with my original goals. I am a rule follower by nature. I established the rules for my blog and then did not follow them. It is almost as if I have broken my own law. It is hard for me to let go and understand that is okay at times to change the rules when necessary. When you want to start a business, you write a business plan based on the facts that you have at hand with the idea that if I follow this plan, my business should be successful. When you start the business and realize that something that you thought to be a fact was not exactly correct and the business is going to fail if you continue to follow the original plan, you shouldn’t just continue to follow the original plan because those were the rules on which you established your business. You should make changes, within certain ethical guide lines, as needed in order for your business to succeed. I am at that point with my blog. I have to relax the rules a bit or I will fail to continue my blog through the entirety of this challenge. I will continue to enter my Daily Food Accountability for every day of my challenge. At times, this entry will consist of several consecutive days. I will enter a minimum of two informational blogs a week. If time allows, I may enter more than two. With these new rules established, I should be able to continue my blog about my challenge to lose 40 pounds by the age of 40. The second reason that this is such a mental challenge for me is that I fear that I have let my readers and followers down and they will not be content with lesser entries. To put it plainly, I am embarrassed to have not met or to be able to continue to meet their expectations. I care very much about how what I do affects others. I don’t want my readers’ to be disappointed in me for changing the rules. I have to remember that, while I hope to inspire and motivate others to be able to follow suit, I established this challenge and this blog to help me through to my goal to lose 40 pounds by the age of 40. I did not start this blog to feel as if I am a failure. I started this blog to help me to succeed. I hope that all of my readers and followers can understand my need to relax and change the rules some in order to be successful in my challenge of losing 40 pounds by the age of 40.


I am proud to announce my weight as of Sunday September 27, 2009 is 166.4 pounds. This means that I have met my monthly weight loss goal a few days early. Wahoo. Now, I can get a head start on my weight loss for the month of October. Keeping a Daily Food Accountability has helped me see where I need to make changes. I am going to work on reducing how much bread that I eat and increasing how much berries and vegetables that I eat this next month. I highly recommend anyone trying to lose weight keep a Daily Food Accountability with nutritional details of their own to assist them in the weight loss process.

Oh boy! I have a whole lot of catching up to do. I have to figure out a way to enter my Daily Food Accountability every day. Each day entering gets delayed, it seems more and more impossible to get my Daily Food Accountability entered and submitted.


This week is State Fair week and my daughter’s birthday. This time of year is a real challenge for me. I have not been perfect in any way in maintaining my diet but I have to say that I have done pretty well. The pounds are dropping slowly and steadily. My weight yesterday was 166.8 pounds. My weight seems to be fluctuating around 166 pounds and staying under 167 pounds. That means that I have lost at least 3 pounds now. That puts me within a half a pound of my monthly goal and I still have another week to go. Hooray! I hoped for more but I am happy with the loss. The least I have weighed in the last several years is a 165 pounds and I am ready to break past that 165 pound mark. My resilience is still strong to achieve my goal of losing 40 pounds by the age of 40.
