Giving it one more try....

Best to keep trying than to give up all together.  More determined and motivated than ever.  I keep looking back at the few pictures I took when I lost weight last year, DETERMINED I will at least get back to that size.  Starting slowly, taking it one day at a time..  Just frustrating when I think of where I could be at had I not given up...but that's no body's fault but my own. 

Trying to get back into the daily routine of exercising - slowly, the endurance will come as I progress.  And learning to control portions again - the healthier foods will be added once I get back on track with the portion control.

Setting my mini goals again each week -  First goal - to exercise everyday this week, whether it be for 10 minutes, just get in the habit of doing it!  Eating all meals at home! 


This is the picture I keep referring back to!!

DAY 2 - EXCITED.....

Day 2 -
 Day 1 was very successful.... I ate healthy all day, AND done the required exercises.  I even started the couch to 5k program... It was easier than I thought! Hopefully I can do it the 3 days per week as it says to.  I have a 5k in 9 weeks. So we'll see!  I was a little tired and went to bed at 8:30pm, and I never go to bed that early!!   On the days I'm not doing the Couch to 5k, I will be doing my elliptical and weights.  The burpees were a little rough this morning, and my butt was twitching doing the squats - so I guess that is a good thing if its sore.

Breakfast - two scrambled eggs, grilled cheese, and 1/2 cup pineapple chunks!

BACK ON THE BANDWAGON...

Yes, I fell off the bandwagon for a few months (4)to be exact.  And I've been cursing myself daily.  Nobody's fault but my own.  But I'm more determined now than ever.   I started a 30 day squat challenge and 30 day burpee challenge today.  My mini goal is to do it at least for 5 days as it says to and NO SALT for five days.  

I've registered for another Color Run 5k with my niece in April.  So hopefully I will do better than last time. But none the less, it should be lots of fun!!!

I've started back eating healthier and measuring all my foods again. 
Today for breakfast:
           whole wheat waffle, with 1 tbspn peanut butter, topped with 2 hard fried eggs, and 1/2 cup pineapple chunks.

 

For 10am snack - 3 slices deli sliced black forest ham, 3 sharp cheddar wedges.

For lunch - chopped Asian salad blend, with two breaded chicken patties (yes it was breaded, but that was all I had), 2 tbspn olive garden Italian dressing, and shard cheddar cheese cubes, and cucumber slices.   along with 1/2 cup pineapple chunks.

 

My aunt posted this picture on facebook, ANd I was pure ashamed and disgusted with myself.  SO now this picture is posted everywhere, to remind me what I'm working so hard to change.

Supper was DELICIOUS!! Baked Sweet potato w/cinnamon and butter, with vegetable medley blend w/cabbage and chicken tenderloins added
