Practice day

So I started the day by watching Biggest loser on the computer and working out. Bob had everyone on the treadmill and said -OK everyone 9.0 for 1 min. I thought if those people can do it so can I. Bob, I see why the contestants lose lots of weight. I got to 7.0 for about a minute and I was feeling it. Bob really 9.0??? I feel like a slacker.
I then had something healthy to eat and went and got something done. I am back to setting priorities.
So my practice day was kind of hard. So I'm thinking day 1 can't be any worse than day 1. So I can do this. 21 days to make a habit, how many more do I have to make this working out thing a habit. Why does it take 21 to make a habit and only 3 to break. Not fare.
So I did most of those 2 miles at 4.0. My goal is to add a point every week. One of my fat friends said she started running by race walking. What is a fat friend? I call the people that are on the goal to fight fat my fat friends. I should call them my fat fighting friends.

Spring time in Wisconsin and tracker

So it is right around the corner from May. I want to start a walking club here in cedar park where I live. I e-mailed someone this morning about how the only thing on me getting skinny is my fingers. I am re looking at things in my life of what I enjoy and what I miss. I miss working out. I am spending to much computing as dear husband calls it. I did get an envelope from the "weight control & diabetes research center" which I am a member of. The first thing I thought of is OM I need to tell someone or maybe the world that I have been to lazy to work out.
Spring Goals
1. 30 min walk.
2. track food intake.
3 spend less time talking about it and more time doing.
4 do those 100 crunches
5 stay in calorie range
So here is the way to track it. At the end of today it would look like this for walking, crunches, tracking, calorie range
april 30 YYYY
This is if I did all 4
If I did the first 3 but went over on calorie goal it would look like
April 30 YYYN
There is something about the need to learn. If you eat and track 1000 calories of ice-cream every night, it is a good thing you are aware you are eating 1000 calories of ice-cream but you need to learn that these 1000 calories aren't helping you reach your goal. So we are ready to start a new month . Spring is for new growth and it should be the most positive time of the year.

MAY 1 yyyy

How things change

I post on Spark people and some of my post I think I should share with anyone that wants to chatthefat.

So I have to to tell you last night we went out to the Chinese restaurant. You know the one that most people over eat at. Well I picked what I wanted and ate it. I followed my 27 rules including nothing deep fried.. Eat the fruit. I said to my husband I am full and I stopped eating. I waited for him to get desert. I love almond cookies. So most of the time you just think about the food but now the food is becoming less important and I started to think if I knew Chinese I could tell the workers I really appreciate them. This is a whole different thought than going there to shove your face full. The workers at our local restaurant only know the english word for food items. tea, mt dew, pespi, cookie, things like that. You can't really talk with them or ask them how they are.
Things are changing sense I don't just sit around and think about food.

skinny foods

I am sitting here thinking while I am reading e-mails and somehting is just bugging me. Why do we take really good foor and make it a certain way so it looks like a food I wouldn't eat but a couple times a year. Mock mash potatoes. Please tell me what is wrong with caluflower? Have we watched so much TV that we have it in our brain that you can not live with out a form of mash potatoes? I saw today apples to look like french fries. I like apples they are good and they are good for you, why do we have to make them look like something that puts this layer of something on the roof of your mouth. If you want to eat french fries call them as they are. At what point do you say most of the time I make my french fries from apples but this place does't have them so I will eat the fries they offer. Now if you would say I eat an apple with this and this place doesn't offer an apple so now what should I have? would french fries by an option? I guessing it would be one of my last picks. Very seldom do you find me at a mc donalds just because I like the spinach option on the salad at subway and the taco salad at wendy's if you leave the junk off. I really think of what causes mood swings and really stay away from those items. I have a mental list of things to never eat is I want to maintain my health. Have a great day and when is the TV going to say hey eat these veggies just the way they are and they taste good.
