Mad T Party Weight Loss Day 3

     Well I have done great at eating better today and did good yesterday too. I am proud of myself. I have not totally deprived myself of the things I love, am just cutting down and not eating late.

     I did not exercise last night because I couldn't get in front of the TV to dance but tonight I danced my heart out to the Mad T Party band. Tonight Josh was Hatter, Michael was March Hare and Todd was Door Mouse. Such a fun group to dance to.

     I stepped on the scales this morning and have lost 2 lbs. It isn't mounumental but hey, it is a loss and a good one at that.

    I will not update daily because well, there isn't enough to say in one day, not even really in two.

T Party Weight Loss Program

     Well I am going to try very hard to stay on track this time and lose this weight. I did not do great on eating today because I was super stressed but, I exercised and drank a lot of water which hopefully will counteract the calories.

     Here is my new plan, I plan to dance to the Mad T Party Band each night, I will dance for at least 30 minutes and that should give me plenty of exercise. I have a lot of DVD from my vacation.

     I danced my 30 minutes tonight and it was just so much fun. What a great way to exercise. Tonight I danced with Josh and Todd. That is Josh Disan and Todd McCool, the Hatter and Door Mouse.

     Tomorrow I plan to eat better and dance again.

     I will keep you posted....

Getting Back the Attractive Me is in My Hands

     Sometimes we have way too much time to think. I do for sure. Today I got to thinking about being 52 and well, very overweight. I also got to thinking about how I used to be pretty and even when I wasn't pretty in person I was photogenic. There were times when I actually looked good. I do not see that anymore. When I look at pictures of myself now, I literally want to cry. I avoid mirriors as much as I can and well, I am just not happy with myself.

     Today I got to thinking that I really do not want a man in my life but I want to be the kind of woman a man looks at. I realized that even though I am 52 I could still be attractive, I could still turn heads and well darn it, as starnge as that sounds, I want to turn heads.

     My main inspiration today for getting my butt in gear and really getting on track is that I want to have the good looking guys in the Mad T Party Band actually look at me next year. I know, I know, they could be my kids. That is ok...I still want to be looked at in that special way...I can get back to that even at my age... but it is all in my hands.

     I am not comfortable with myself right now, I do not like feeling all this fat when I sit down. It bothers me. I do not feel attractive and so I want to get to a weight where I feel attractive again. No I do not WABT to, I WILL get to that weight. It is in me, and I will get there. Wanting it won't happen, that is not enough, I have to just do it. Sadly it is not easy.

     Today was day 2 and I have done good so far. I stayed under 1000 calories, drank a lot of water and am going to do some exercises.

Getting Back on Track

     I have been slacking the last several months regarding writing here. I was doing good with my eating and losing weight for a while there though. I hadn't lost all I wanted when I went on vacation but was working my way down. Then I went on vacation and that was my green light to eat.

     I did gain a little weight while on vacation but lost that not long after I returned to my normal life. But then about a week after I returned home, things in life became very stressful and there have been many changes. They are temporary changes but have had poor results.

     I am not a person to eat when I get depressed but, when I am stressed I do eat. I have been extremely stressed the last few weeks. I eat more than I should and do not get exercise like I should.

     I keep telling myself I will get on track tomorrow. Well tomorrow is here and I am going to get back on track, no more excuses.

     I plan to keep my eating journal and write down every calorie I put into my body. I will keep them under 1000 for the first week. Then I will work up to 1200 calories. I just want to shrink my stomach at first though.

     I might not start my exercise program yet because well, there are too many people around all the time and my wii is buried behind stuff. Plus my joints are so achy that I need to feel better first. But soon as I can I will get on a program again.

     So, I will try to write here once a day, if not at least once a week. And so as Peter Pan says....Here we go.....
