Rather then write here today, I baked(I will not post the food porn), I cleaned the counters, I cleaned the doors to the basement, and the cupboard doors in my kitchen. I'm not losing, I'm stuck again. I lost 4.4 in september, but no more after that. I just need .2 for this week to get to 20lbs "again". The "baby" is now 4.5yrs old. It shouldn't be this hard to get this weight off. I know I was so determined the first time I lost. This time it's harder so much harder.
I've been reading everyone's updates, I've seen some awesome progress, and some great attitude. Me? today? my attitude is in the crapper! I've been walking with MJ around the block, he is in his pink Trike and I'm pushing him with a broom stick so that things go Faster! The pace of a 4.5yrold will get me no where, but a 4.5yrold on a Trike being pushed with a broomstick? now it feels like we're doing something. I've asked for help to keep me motivated from my family. I've asked them to eat the healthy food vs the stuff they really want. I want my boys to grow up healthy but they have their dad's motabolism, they look at food and lose weight, I look at food and gain. The big part of this is that "I" have to do it. So I will keep walking and running after that Trike and Away from the Bear! (yes he's back 4miles from here 2 bears were spotted this morning, you can tell it's their garbage pick up day, tomorrow is ours!)
Meals have been better, more veggies are in the house and less snacking. I've bought their lunch snacks all packaged up. They are a bit bummed that I'm not baking more. They want me to make cinnamon Buns, Apple muffins, cookies and even chocolate chip pancakes. I want none of those things to be in my house. If it's packed I wont touch it. A package of mini chocolate chip cookies? not a problem because they are for the kids lunches, and I only buy enough to do so many days. A package of cheese strings? it's theirs,a 500g chunk of cheese? uh now we've got problems.
I made whole wheat pizza this weekend, spicy beef stirfry and salads, those will work. I've journaled for 4wks straight this month, I bite it a write it so the October goal will be to keep that going, and work on the liquids and less fluff. The fluff will fluff you up everytime!

Food is my downfall too. We always have snacks and things for the kids that amount to junk. I think making healthy choices for the whole family is work, but it's worth the commitment. Although sometimes, a batch of warm brownies won't hurt anyone. ;) Good luck this month. Pushing the trike and snubbing the baked goods.
I dunno, it sounds like you're headed in the right direction food wise. It's so damn hard to not eat like crap. I've started working out double time just to be able to mostly eat what I want. In moderation, of course. Good luck this month, I know it must suck to be surrounded by boys with boy metabolism and have to try to be good. Grr.
i always bake cookies, muffins, brownies, etc. for my family too and it is very hard to resist, so i feel you.
but you've got a plan, work it!
Yay for trike on a stick!
I have one of those mutant metabolism mates, and it looks like after an early pudginess, my son is now also a mutant. I'm glad for him, but of course healthy food is still better than junk even if he doesn't gain weight when he eats things.
My daughter and I are like you - look at food and gain. But we can all get fit! Keep up the good work. Maybe there are some baked items that are whole grain and low sugar you could do to keep everyone happy? :)
The trike/broom combo, genius! I'm the same way, if something bad is in the house, I'll eat it. It has to stay far far away from me...
And also, I have an H who breathes and loses weight! So. Not. Fair.
Keep up the good work!
Whole wheat pizza? Um, can you send me the recipe? I'm drooling ALREADY!
My youngest is 28 and I'm still trying to get the weight off!
Actually I'd think worrying about the whole FAMILY losing weight too sounds like stress you don't need! At least this way it's all about you. As it should be ;)
It'll happen. Hang in there!
in the voices of the alien dudes from Space Jam (WB) "hanging on"....
mmmmm.... whole wheat pizza!
sounds like you are doing well despite your 'tude.
