Make a choice
So, day 1 last week was a success and everyday since then has been a disaster. I've been on a binge for a few days now. It's crazy because I know what I want and I am doing exactly the opposite. Eating whatever I can get my hands on. It's the same self destructive behavior that I have been putting upon myself for years.
I know I need to change, I know it would benefit my health but in the moment, I don't care about anything else other than eating. This evening I am going to sit down and go through my bank account to look at the money I have wasted buying fast food. Hopefully that will help kick things in gear.
It scares me that I am back in a place of thinking about what I want and doing nothing about it. What is the problem? Clearly, I know the problem lays within myself, that I am not actually committing to making a change but WHY do I keep doing this to myself? I am falling back into a place of feeling no hope for "changing." The other day, I even reasoned with myself, this is who I am just meant to be.
How ridiculous, sure I am meant to be me, my personality, my quirkiness, my attitude and outlook... but a size, a weight doesn't equal a person. Why am I trying to reason that being overweight is just part of me? It isn't I am overweight because of the food choices that I make. It's not necessarily the food choice itself, it is the AMOUNT I choose to eat and the lack of exercise. I know these things yet I still eat, eat and eat. I've got to get out of this cloud, through this fog and back to a healthy reality. I do not want to be this person who constantly thinks of food or the next meal. Food does not define me yet it makes up most of my time, whether that is in thoughts or consumption. Food consumes my thoughts these days. My addiction. My love. My friend. My enemy. My source of energy. My lack of energy. My existence. My disease. My lover. My obsession. My confusion. My faith. My end of existence. MY CHOICE. Make a choice, make a choice, make a choice!

Day 1
Okay, today is my day 1. It wasn't easy but I ate healthy and after counting my calories, I ate 1361 today. I was hoping to stay closer to 1100 but hey, that is great considering I have been eating up to 6000 a day! ERrrrrRrrr, I don't even want to think it.
I am focusing on my mantra last year "I want to be healthy!" One meal at a time, one day at a time. I can do this!

Reality Check
314 pounds... that is my reality. I am crippling my spirit and my body. I find it difficult to move around, I have no energy, I just want to sit in front of the TV but mostly, I want to EAT and EAT and EAT and EAT some more.
Just five months ago, I was on top of the world, I was changing my life and taking control of my food addiction. I exercised nearly everyday for 9 months and ate healthy foods and counted calories. I went from 330 pounds to 268 pounds, I was winning the race. And look at me now, even quicker than I lost it, I am nearly back to my start race. I claimed that I would never do that again, and here I sit... 314 pounds. My feet hurt, my body is swollen, clothes do not fit me and I am miserable.
I have this deep rooted weed within myself that I am watering with food. Its as if there is nothing that can satisfies its hunger.
I tell myself, I can do it again but in reality, if you do nothing, nothing will happen. I can not continue down this path. I must regain control and get this weed out of me. It is killing me.
I remember at one point last year that I knew I'd win the race but today I ask myself how do I get back to the track. I feel so lost.
I sat down and looked at the differences between now and then and honestly, I am not doing anything but EATING. I stopped SPARKING and Blogging in roughly September last year and well, there went my accountability. Slowly but surely, I went a week without a workout, then two and well it was over a month, then I tried it and I was exhausted, I didn't cook so I bought fast food, and craved ice cream and brought that in the house and never stopped. All of my healthy choices were at wayside.
I can not stand here and watch everything go with the tide. I must stand up and fight for my health. This isn't just about weight, this is my life and my health on the line.
When I began my journey last year, I didn't have a plan other than blogging. Before you knew it, I was involved and committed to changing my life. So today, I commit again. Blogging was a great accountability factor for me. I know the things I need to do but I keep making excuses not to do them. Hopefully, as I blog, I can work some of these things out.
To a new Day one!

Ready, Get Set, GO!
I am proud to blog that I got up this morning and did a 1 mile walk with Leslie Sansone, I just love that woman. I took my lunch, pre-planned, cooked, weighed and measured. I walked the stairs ten times at work (ouchie mamma!) and then hit up Curves this evening. It is a strong start to the new year.
I was going to just do my Walk away the Pounds tape but I had the energy and needed the burn. It felt good, very good!
I was doing a little research last night and was blown away when I found out that I had hiked, biked and walked 479 miles last year! WOW! Of course, that does not include everyday walking, that was simply me on a mission to exercise. I was dumbfounded that I was capable of so much. The crazy thing, I quit working out mid September, imagine what I could have done if I had not quit. Well, that is water under the bridge. One think I know for sure, it motivated me to get up and move more than you can imagine!
My goal is to hit 600 miles in 2011, that is only 50 miles month... I can do this! Will you join me for the adventure?

365 Days with the 330 Pound Woman, scratch 295 pound woman
It is hard to imagine that 365 days have come to pass. I wasn't sure what was going to happen when I began this journey, no real commitments (other to blogging) just the idea of wanting to become healthier.
I lost 63 pounds by June of 2010. I maintained that weight through business travel and over the summer. From September to today, I have packed on inches and pounds. My weight loss is now down 35 pounds. I have quit smoking (1/4/11 will be exactly one year) which is a huge accomplishment in itself.
I went from not being able to bend over and tie my shoes at a size 28 down to a 22 pant. I am now back in a 24 pant and that is tight. I began this year loathing exercise and end it wishing I was still exercising everyday, it really did so much for me, emotionally and physically.
I found out that I had a passion for biking and hiking and that I could actually cook a pretty dang good meal that was healthy.
Overall, this was a great year. I have to admit, it terrifies me that I allowed myself to gain so much weight back in the last few months (honestly, I gained it Sept and October) and how quickly I lost my stamina and energy from not working out... it tells me that I am still the 330 pound woman. Even though the scales says otherwise, I have been eating what I want, when I want. My midnight snacking is back in nearly full force.
All though, I am struggling, I am not done. One thing I did learn this year, is that you slip, fall and get back up. You can't cry over spilt milk or obsess on what you may feel is a failure. You have to get up, dust off and keep moving.
As I have battled many challenges this year, traveled, found a full time job, lost weight, gained weight, LOVED exercising, hated exercising... I am ending the last day of 2010 very proud and content with my journey.
I will celebrate that I am 35 pounds lighter, two sizes smaller and enjoy my healthy lungs! My goal in 2011 is to move forward with my weight loss. Pick myself up, dust myself off, cook, pre-plan, weigh, measure, track what I eat and exercise.
2011 is going to be an amazing year. To health and prosperity, Happy New Year!!!

Holiday Cheer
Christmas Eve is upon us. Many of us are still running around looking for that last minute gift, wrapping presents, baking and cooking. All working so hard to get to sit back and enjoy time with our family and friends.
As I am finishing up my last minute chores, I wanted to stop and to tell all of my blog family how much you mean to me and how much each of you has impacted me this year. Thank you for all of your support, encouragement and believing in me when I did not.
What ever your religion or belief, I wish you a wonder holiday season. Enjoy your time with your family and friends, kick back and enjoy yourself and don't feel guilty about the fudge. You deserve it!
Happy Holidays!

It's been too long
I think we can clearly see that my devotion to my health has tappered in the last quarter of the year. I began so strong, so fast and furious. Quiting smoking, exercising nearly everyday, eating healthy... losing inches and weight like there was no tomorrow.
That is what it was like when I wasnt' working. Now I am working, balancing a full time job, a child and my health has not been so easy. I have offically been working for nealy three months.
I am not working out any longer and I am no longer tracking my food. I have gained about 20 pounds and have gone up two sizes. It is so crazy how quickly you fall back into old ways.
The good news is that I am still in the positive. I have still lost 40 pounds for the year and I am coming up on one whole year of not smoking, woo-hoo!
I clearly have not overcome obesity or my addiction to food. I have alot of work to do. I am not giving in, I just need to find the time to dedicate to myself and simply... stop making excuses on why I can not do it!
My desire to be healthy is not gone. I am going to spend some time this weekend focusing on my needs and come up with a plan or small goals that I can accomplish to keep moving in the right direction. I will not continue to gain weight, I will not be the 330 pound woman again! I can do it, I will do it! The fight is not over!

Oiling the machine
I've exercised two days in a row! Small feat but it is a mini victory. Its crazy how quickly you fall out of shape. No worries, I'm getting back in the game and putting on my tennies... if nothing else, I will keep moving my body!
To another day of excercise! One day at a time, one meal at a time!

Dinosaur Valley Adventure
One of my passions I discovered this year was hiking. I figured since I am working on getting back into the grove, what better than doing something I enjoy :)
My son had his best friend spend the weekend with us so, how was I going to encourage them to get off the couch and step away from the video game remote control? DINOSAURS!!!
Fortunately, we have a wonder state park about and hour and a half away from us that is actually an archaeological dig sight... yea, no joke! It is called Dinosaur Valley and is located in Glen Rose TX. We got up extra early this morning and hit the road ready for adventure.
As we got closer to the park, the boys (even though they are 14) began to fantasize and talk about Dinosaurs roaming the Earth and lurking in the deep sea of trees. I found myself getting wrapped up in their fantasy world and imagined huge dinosaurs walking along with us.
We entered the park and decided to park at Track Site #1, there are three in total. Off we set in our adventure. Reading every sign, climbing up and down hills, crossing shallow water, through the thicket and beyond the path... we finally stumbled across tracks. How exciting. Its amazing to know that Dinosaurs roamed the very place we stood millions of years ago.
We hiked for 3.5 hours and played a good 1.5. We had a great time! The boys enjoyed skipping rocks across the water, catching frogs and tadpoles. I joined in on the fun, I just couldn't resist. We enjoyed our sack lunches and laughed and enjoyed each others company. We really had a great time.
It was very nice to get outside and get moving. I have to admit, not working out for the last six weeks has really taken its toll on me. Not to worry, I know I will regain my momentum over the next several weeks.
After driving back to town, I took my sons best friend home and went grocery shopping. Again, I found myself standing in the diet pill section looking for that thing, that little something to jump start my weight loss. I am not sure why I feel so weak. (It couldn't have anything to do with the Donuts I had for breakfast or the Chicken Finger Basket I had for dinner... yea, fried city galore). I did pick up a Detox kit... SlimQuick Cleanse and Detox. I also bought SlimQuick Ultra Fat Burner. Yea, I know... no magic pill will do it but I figured the detox will help remove toxins and waste which will hopefully give me a little jump start. I am not going to start the Fat Burner pill until I have completed my cleanse, which will be in 14 days. I am hoping that in the 14 days some of my sugar and fat cravings will have decreased and maybe I won't use the SlimQuick Fat Burner. Time will tell.
Here are a few pics from today

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
I don't even know where to begin. Clearly, I have not been committed to making my health a priority in the last 6 weeks. Somewhere between traveling for 5 weeks, coming home, accepting a FULL TIME JOB (YEA... I am no longer unemployed!), working 40-50+ hours a week, becoming a traveling taxi for a teen, catching up on chores at home, working on big projects and breathing... I have not gotten back into a routine of eating healthy or working out. I just can't seem to balance the tight rope... I want to do good, I say I am gonna do it but then there just doesn't seem to be enough time in the day to plan my meals, count calories or even to jump on my bike and ride.
Instead, I find myself day dreaming about losing weight... beating myself up because I have gained roughly 12 pounds of 62 pounds that I've lost. I am back in the hustle of bustle of everyday life and I finding that I have easily put myself on the back burner. I never intended for it to happen that way.
Even while traveling, I kept up my workouts... now, I was eating out every meal but I still worked out 5 days a week. I've been home since 9/4 and honestly, I have worked out only 3 or 4 times?!?!?! Not only have I not been working out, I am still grabbing food on the go, breakfast and lunch. Not only is it food on the go, it has turned into burgers, fries and greasy fried tacos.
I don't want to give in, I just have to find the balance. Most importantly, I need to stop beating myself and celebrate what I have still accomplished. I am still at 50 pounds lost and I have not smoked since 1/4/10 ... that is 9 months! WOW!
I want to thank everyone for encouraging and supporting me. Your feedback, comment and support means so much. I am going to take the challenge presented by many of you and prioritize my goals.
When I began my blog on Jan 1st 2010, my goal was to become healthy. I didn't have a plan however I committed to blogging. I haven't been blogging (partly because I am super duper busy ( I have traveled to 3 states this week, YIKES, while also trying to fit in my sons football game) and also because I don't want to acknowledge that I am not doing whats best for my health.
In the beginning, I committed to blogging about the good, the bad and the ugly... this just happens to be part of the ugly and I will begin to blog again on a daily basis... the good, the bad and the ugly... accountability!
One meal at a time, One day at a time. My journey continues...
