I Am Very Proud Of Myself!

Just saying it makes me feel good!

I am doing a really good job sticking to the plan, tracking, and even throwing a few min of exercise in here and there.  Talk about motivated!

I couldn't be more proud of my ADHD self!

How to track on Shabbos

At first I figured why track on Shabbos. It's a mitzva to eat and enjoy yourself on Shabbos so being on a plan is not really in the spirit of Shabbos. I now that's Halacha, but I think it may also be my yiddishe yetzer horah trying to get me to not be serious about this. On the other hand it is also a mitzva to be healthy.

Then I thought, well I will make a plan before hand. That could work. I just need to be hungry at my scheduled times. That doesn't always work. I could also use paper clips or something to mark how many points I'm eating. I think paper clips are muktza

So I'm putting it out there. How do I track on Shabbos while still keeping with the spirit of Shabbos?

Bumpy Roads

Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day. Friday I rushed out the door with out really eating... low and behold it was a day of hunger, snacking, and late meals. :-( not so good.


So, now I know I need to make breakfast a priority even if it means running a little late.

3.8 Less Of Me

Yay me! 

I am now down to 266.6!

I will be announcing my weight, since I believe that the first step to recovery is admittance. I will no longer be embarrassed of how much I weigh because I know I am doing something to make it go down!

In any case, Goal for week #2: Do an exercise video at least twice. 

Barbecues and Bedtimes

Tonight is the night of the grand Berghoff BBQ and sleepover. The kids are all out like the lights, so they must have enjoyed themselves! I really did my best in terms of the food choices, but I'm not sure if my efforts will prove fruitful. I guess I will find out tomorrow on the big weigh in day.


It's not like I went over my points or anything, I just didn't feel as confident when I finished eating. Maybe I just felt too full...?


Besides for that, I did a darn good job this week! The awesome thing is I can tell I am motivated. Not just mentally but it's permeated my being. I don't even want to eat the things I know I am not supposed to eat.


I feel like my brain and my taste buds have finally reached an agreement.

Party Success!

The engagement party for my baby sister was amazing! The backyard looked absolutely WOW! My grandmother made all her dessert specialties like chocolate chip cookies, lemon bars, mini pies, and brownies! Mouthwatering... I know!

Guess What??

I didn't eat a single one!!

Week one of my epic journey

Here I am, once again, trying to battle my way through weight loss. I'm thinking that making it public will make me more accountable. Right now I weigh 270lbs. My goal is to weigh 165 before my son turns 3. I know there are those out there who weigh 165 and think they need to loose weight, but for someone who has never been under the 200 mark in all my adult life, reaching 165 will be nothing short of miraculous.

I'm 24 and married with a 20 month old son. We live in LA along with my very large extended family. That means many parties and many reasons to get together to eat!

The weight loss program that I am following is Weight Watchers. The reason being that it works! Consistently! Last time I did the program was back when they had Core Vs Flex and I lost 42 lbs. (Then i got pregnant and all hell broke loose!!) My weigh in day is Thursday.

Goal for this week..... STOP GAINING & START LOOSING!
