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.

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. :-)
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.
