Finding The Thin Within

Baby Steps.

2012-02-06T20:44:00.000-07:00

Aarrrrggghh...
NOT my week.
Of course I could use the excuse of cramps (still having them.. this is ridiculous), or my head cold (finally going away).
But honestly I just wasn't being good this week.
I did exercise 3 times, though.
I started Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred.
It. Kicks. Butt.
I love it.
I didn't do it today because I'm hurting pretty bad.
But I'm back into it totally tomorrow.
And I'm going to try EVEN HARDER to eat less junk and eat more greens.
Oh and to stop eating at night...
As for weight loss - maybe I'll weigh in tomorrow.

Week 3...

2012-01-30T09:40:00.000-07:00

I am slowly getting better at being good. :) I have now gone 3 weeks without caffeine, 2 weeks without soda, and 2 weeks with exercising most days. :) As of last Monday I had lost a couple pounds.
Today is the start of a rough week (read: Aunt Flo is visiting for the first time in 2 years...) so I am not going to weigh in today. Suffice it to say, Paul can see that I'm losing weight! :)
This week's goal? Work in the healthy eating stuff. Quit all the crap eating I do on a daily basis. Limit treats and sweets as much as possible. And stop eating after 7 PM. That is all. :)
Have a good week!

I'm BAA-AACK!!!

2012-01-13T20:13:00.000-07:00

So, I am so sorry friends. My life got crazy through the holiday season. And all my resolves went to the dogs.
I sit before you now - even plumper than before.
BUT - I have had a breakthrough.
I DO HAVE WILLPOWER!!!
I honestly didn't know if I did - I've been seriously struggling with it in the last couple years.
Or I will do well for a couple weeks and then lose it when I don't see instant results.
It may be small - but I have GIVEN UP CAFFEINE! Without headaches! I was amazed!
A big part of that, I believe, is from the fact that my baby is FINALLY (finally) sleeping through the night most nights. Therefore I am not as tired and not as dependent on caffeine to get through the day.
Strike that - I am not dependent on caffeine AT ALL! :)

I have will power.
And I am making small goals for each week to focus on.
My goal for next week (starting tomorrow - Saturday - why not? It's not about starting on Mondays!) is to exercise every day. For 30 minutes or more a day. I will weigh on Monday morning, and again the next Monday to see how it goes! Wish me luck!

So, I did all dancing & pilates workouts for a week. Holy kick my butt!!
But, although I didn't lose any weight (I was 165 this morning), I am losing some inches. My waist and legs are a little slimmer, woo hoo. Hopefully I can start running again now that it's getting cooler (I don't do well in the heat). And I am going to try with all my might to eat a little less chocolate and be 163 by next Monday.

Terrible at Posting

2011-09-13T10:25:00.003-06:00

I will admit I have never been able to get into this blogging thing. I have been struggling to keep on track with my weight loss. Something always seems to come up that makes me think I need to turn to food for comfort, celebration, vindication, etc. It's terrible to rely on food to feel better. I'm slowly getting better though as I realize how good I feel when I eat healthy. I love how light I feel after a day of just fruits and veggies. A couple of days ago I made a recipe for Mexican Black beans that is healthy and very delicious. Now I'm using that as flavor in my salads instead of very fattening dressing. It's wonderful and it tastes so good! I'm down to 202 so at least I've lost a little weight. I am also getting out and jogging more. Evie and I are discovering how fun it is to go down to the Sammamish River Trail and walk/jog next to the water. We get to see ducks and geese and even a heron/egret? catching and eating a fish yesterday. I just need to keep all these good feelings in mind whenever I'm tempted to eat something bad for me. I'm going to try to update this blog at least once a week too!

Well, after 2 weeks of muscle building workouts I now weigh 165. But, I'm hoping that the weight gain is just muscle and that it will help me start burning more fat off. This week I'm going to try to do all dancing workouts. Dance workouts kick my butt every time! So my thought is, I've got the extra muscle, now time to push hard with cardio to burn off some weight. Think it'll work? I hope so!

Am I the only one here? Echo, echo.....
Anyway, I didn't post last monday because I was on vacay, but now I think I'll just post every 2 weeks.
This morning I weighed....163!!! Woo Hoo! I made my first goal of losing 4 pounds! Now it's time to lose 4 more. For the next two weeks I'm going to change up my exercise a bit. I will be doing primarily weight lifting. The reasons for this are A) muscle burns way more calories than fat so I want to try and up my muscle a bit
B) I don't want to get into a plateau like I usually do, so this way I'll surprise my body and hopefully won't get stuck here.

Oh, and I decided how to reward myself for accomplishing my big goal. I'm going to splurge and get some Mederma for my horrible stretch marks my two pregnancies caused!

2011-08-15T16:04:00.002-06:00

I did pretty good on my goals this week-but not perfect.
Today I did a killer dancing workout! Dance workouts always kick my butt, I guess I should do them more often! Anyway, my weight was back down to 164.5 this morning so at least I'm headed in the right direction again. I am hoping to get below 164 by next Monday.

Catherine's Monday Update

2011-08-08T15:33:00.002-06:00

Well, I don't want to admit it, but...my weight was 165.5 this morning.

I did well on exercise and going to bed early. But the eating thing was all out of wack. I had a very upset tummy most of the week and that made it hard for me to want to eat. So I'm sure that screwed up my metabolism, yadda yadda yadda. This week I am going on a chocolate fast! So from now until next monday-no chocolate! (Pray for me, I'll need it!)

A loss!

2011-08-01T21:01:00.000-06:00

Yay! Even though last week was a total bomb, I did lose 1.2 lbs! Woot! I have quit the soda again and I am trying super hard to work in working out to my every day routine...
Here we go!!!

Catherine's Monday Update

2011-08-01T11:50:00.000-06:00

This morning I weighed 164 pounds!
Only a 1/2 pound loss, but still a loss. I only have to lose 1 more pound to reach my first short term goal of losing 4 pounds.

I did a much better job at going to bed at a better time this week. Still not fantastic at the eating goodies thing, but I was a little better- so I guess I'll just keep trying to improve a little each week.

Struggling... New Commitment

2011-07-31T21:38:00.000-06:00

I suck at this game!!! Honestly! I used to have such amazing self-control. I used to be able to go for weeks without soda or sweets. I used to be able to go months of exercising at least 3 times a week.
Now? Yup. Can't do any of it. And it frustrates the heck out of me!!!
Hope all of you understand inspiration. I've been feeling a bit of it lately. I have been referred to THIS article by Elder Uchtdorf like 50 thousand times this month. And I think it might have to do with my lack of commitment to weight loss.
I'm not weighing in tomorrow with the expectation of having lost anything. Matter of fact I have probably gained.
THIS post is for me to publicly COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY COMMIT to my weight loss efforts. I am going to get enough sleep so that I don't need caffeine to get through the day (thus eliminating the soda from my diet). I am going to get rid of all the sweets in the house. I am going to get some REAL exercise (and make Kirk do it with me - he's got a couple love handles that he could get rid of...). And for once I am going to STICK to my goals!!!
Can I get an Amen???

Change of Plans

2011-07-28T10:29:00.000-06:00

Well, my husband and I have been trying to make a decision about the size of our family for a while now. I am excited to say we've finally made up our minds, and we're going to try for another baby. That being the case, I am not ok pushing myself through such a tough diet just to watch the weight come back on again. I won't follow a strict diet through another pregnancy, as I feel guilty about doing so through Carter's pregnancy... I wonder if my self-inflicted restrictions were the cause of his small size, premature birth and eye problems. I don't know if that was the cause of his issues, but I still feel guilty, and so will not do it again. I do have plans to do 30 minute walks each day, a pure protein day each week, eat healthier foods, and not brainless eat, but I'm not going to keep track of my weight. I plan to start the Dukan Diet again after baby, as I think it is the ideal diet for my body and mentality. I wish you all the best of luck with your diets and life changes!!! Thanks for letting me be a part of this experience! Sorry to quit so soon!

Pitiful Progress

2011-07-26T22:29:00.000-06:00

I lost 6.2 pounds!!! I'm down to 258.8!!!

BUT I didn't do well AT ALL.

Between all the holiday stuff and the family being around, I was pretty awful.

I did stick to drinking TONS of water.

I also didn't eat after 9 PM.

But I didn't exercise at all.

THIS WEEK'S goals...

No eating after 8 PM

Exercise every day for at least 20 minutes

It's so great to read about all of your progress! You are all doing awesome! Keep up the good work!

Truthful Tuesday

2011-07-26T12:44:00.000-06:00

I have to admit that I'm insanely proud of myself. Following the Dukan Diet, I had to do 7 days of Pure Proteins. I am on my 7th day! I've resisted caramel cake, chips and salsa, rice krispie treats, mozzarella sticks and pancakes... and much more! I like that I can make my family a normal meal, and not have to make something different for myself. I just have whatever protein they're having, and have some yogurt or cottage cheese with it. The second and third days were SO hard. I considered quitting! I was SO tired, and the cravings were really intense. Now that my body has gotten used to working for energy, I feel really good... better than I have in years, actually. And I'm not having cravings anymore. I have also stuck to my exercise goals, except I did skip working out on the AerobicRider 2 days. I look ridiculous on it, so it's hard for me to do when people are home. It also makes me sweat like crazy. But, I have done the 20 minute walks each day, and done the dancing every other day. I need to be ok with doing the AerobicRider if people are home. That is my goal for this week.

According to the calculations on the Dukan Diet website, I should have lost 5.74 pounds through the Attack Phase. I weighed 213 last Wednesday, my first day of the diet, and this morning I weighed 207! 6 pounds!!! I did it!!! All that aside, I'm SO thankful I can add veggies back into my diet tomorrow when I start the Cruise Phase!!!

Rough week

2011-07-25T12:21:00.004-06:00

This week was rough. I had a road trip to visit family and that kind of destroyed the whole diet and exercise thing. I have good plans for this week though. :) I am so excited for fruit and salads only this week. I've found several awesomely healthy recipes. Here's some of my favorites.

The Salmon Tacos and the Lentil and Spinach Soup are my particular favorites lately. Of course, since getting back from my trip on Sunday I've lost 1.5 pounds so I definitely do better on my own turf. 200 pounds even, here I come!

Catherine's Monday Update

2011-07-25T10:46:00.000-06:00

This morning I weighed 164.5!
So.... I will admit I pretty much sucked at all my goals but exercise last week. My only explanation for the weight loss is my medication is finally starting to work and I'm shedding water weight. Not that I'm trying to make an excuse for not sticking with my goals because I still want to work on going to bed earlier & eating less goodies. I did go to bed earlier last night and I didn't eat many goodies yesterday. So hopefully I can keep going with that for the rest of this week! Hope everyone else is doing good!

My diet of choice: The Dukan Diet

2011-07-20T20:26:00.000-06:00

I've never really followed any published diet before now. I did cut out all food with added sugar as well as drinks with carbonation for three years, and lost weight and kept it off... but the day my son was born, they brought in a strawberry shortcake for dessert with my meal... after not eating for over 48 hours, 25 of which I was in active labor, I scarfed that thing down. I've never had the motivation to get back on that diet again.

I've been looking into a few diet plans and, for some reason, I'm drawn to the Dukan Diet. I like that I don't have to count/keep track of calories or portions or weigh food every time I want to eat. I like that I can eat until I'm full. I like that the focus is on natural food, not expensive protein shakes/bars/powders. I like that I have a list of acceptable foods... no guess work. I like that I can eat when I feel hungry, no matter what time it is. I like that it includes desserts! I like that it will teach me to eat right, starting from the basics. I like the structure and support the book and the website (US version is currently unavailable, but UK version works) provide. I like the idea of a realistic forever diet plan/life change. I also like the fact that, as long as you follow the diet, you lose weight every week, if not every day.

The Dukan Diet Summarized:

(mostly from pg.11 of the 2011 North American Edition)

THE ATTACK PHASE: Pure Proteins (for 2-7 days, based on the weight you need to lose) 1.5 Tbsp. oat bran every day, at least 1.5 quarts of water every day. 20 minute walk/day.

THE CRUISE PHASE: 100 Unlimited Foods in Alternation with Pure Protein Days (lasts 3 days for each pound you want to lose... list of foods is in the book.) 2 Tbsp. oat bran every day, at least 1.5 quarts of water every day. 30 minute walk/day.

THE CONSOLIDATION PHASE: Basically adding non-necessary, pleasure foods (such as bread, cheese, fruit, starches and carbs) back in, GRADUALLY, so you don't rebound. (This phase lasts 5 days for every pound lost.) 2 Tbsp. oat bran every day, at least 1.5 quarts of water every day. 25 minute walk/day, at least.

THE PERMANENT STABILIZATION PHASE: Follow three rules for the rest of your life: 1 pure protein day every week. No more elevators and escalators. 3 Tbsp. oat bran every day. Also, keep water consumption up and do a 20 minute walk/day, at least.

I didn't know what to expect with the first day of this diet, but I have to say I stayed full all day... to the point I didn't even have the snacks allowed. I ate the three meals, and I still feel full... and energized, despite being up at 7 this morning. I'm really liking it so far!

More Background info

2011-07-20T18:35:00.000-06:00

Hey ladies! So glad you are all joining me!
First off, I got on the scale this morning... and I'd lost some weight! Woot woot! Just a little incentive for me to keep going. I'm probably going to do my weigh-in on Sundays or Mondays. :)
Also, do you ever get comments you'd like to respond to? Well if you enable your email you can. Then the comments are emailed direct to you and you can respond as long as the person commenting has THEIR email enabled. Just a thought.
Invite any of your friends that want to join! They just need to leave a comment or send me an email with their email address.
ALSO.... (one last thought)...
Could you each possibly do a post about the program you are following? There are so many different weight loss plans out there, and a lot I haven't heard of. So a brief description and stuff would be GREAT! :)
Til tomorrow ladies!

Catherine's Before Pictures

2011-07-20T15:39:00.000-06:00

As promised, here are my 'before' pictures. Woo Hoo....not!

My name is Melissa

2011-07-19T13:55:00.000-06:00

First off, I have to say thanks to Lisa for starting this blog. Knowing that other people will be reading about my progress is both terrifying and incredibly motivating.

About me:

I am mommy to one amazing little man. He is now three and I now weigh more than I ever did while I was pregnant. The main excuse I have been using for not doing something about losing weight is my hip. I have osteoarthrosis and bone spurs in my left hip. It is extremely painful just doing the normal day-to-day stuff, let alone working out. There are certain things that I simply can't do... like run or jog... but I can still ride a bike and walk. Being as overweight as I am doesn't help my hip in any way. I'm tired of the pain. It's time for change. I need to exercise and change how and what I eat. One major problem I have with food is brainless eating. Watching a movie, or visiting with family/friends or talking on the phone, I constantly munch on whatever is in front of me. I also comfort eat. The sweet and salty combination is my favorite.

Wake up call:

My husband, my son and I were having a water fight in the yard. I didn't realize my mother-in-law was taking pictures. I was horrified when I saw the pictures she took. They should have been fun and happy, but seeing myself in them was like a slap in the face.

Yikes, huh?

The plan:

I am going to follow the Dukan Diet. I ordered the book from Amazon, and it arrived today. Tomorrow is my first official day on the diet. I also picked up an AerobicRider at a garage sale. I plan to work out on that at least 15 minutes each day, and either dance (Just Dance games) or do a work-out video every other day. I hope to get my hip used to more activity, gradually, so I can keep increasing my activity without hurting so much that I give up and quit.

Stats and goals:

Currently, I weigh 212 pounds.

My "true weight" calculated on the Dukan Diet website is 165 pounds. That is where I want to get.

Aside from following the Dukan Diet, I am setting a few additional goals for myself:

*Eat meals and snacks at the table with no distractions (ie: tv/book/phone/computer)

*No munching during movies/shows, or while reading

*If I feel munchy between meals, I will first drink a full glass of water, then wait 10 minutes. If I still feel munchy, then I will have a healthy, diet-approved snack

Rewards:

*New clothes!!

*Trip to arthritis specialist if my hip is still very painful after losing the weight

*Spending time with my family doing FUN activities, instead of just watching them have fun

I will post to this blog every Tuesday with "Truthful Tuesday" updates.

I'm ready to do this!!!!

My Name Is Catherine

2011-07-18T16:22:00.000-06:00

Well, here I am! I've done a bloggy type weight loss thing before and it helped me-so I'm doing it again! Thanks Lisa for starting this up. I hope we can all keep each other motivated!

My Story:

I am a mom of 2. After baby #1, I easily and quickly lost all the pregnancy weight. After baby #2, different story! I did lose a lot of weight shortly afterwards-but it was mostly water weight....plus a little extra. The last 20 pounds I need to lose just aren't coming off and it's been almost 2 years since I had kiddo #2.
(By the way, I gain a lot of weight while pregnant...like 40-50 pounds, half of which is water weight).
So, I've been having some issues with hormone imbalances. I took some medication earlier this year to correct one problem but I'm still having other problems. I recently started taking another med to hopefully help my hormones balance out completely. And now that I've been taking that I am ready to start shedding some weight once and for all!! I have diabetes on both sides of my family-so the weight needs to come off now!

My Stats:
I am 5'8" and currently weigh 167 pounds.
My BMI is in the 'overweight' zone--I need to be 163 to be in the 'okay' zone.
However, I would like to be 145....that is a good weight for me (I was 135 when I got married 7 years ago but I'm pretty sure that will never happen again)!

My Goals:
Short Term-Lose 4 pounds....then lose 4 more.
Eat less goodies
Be in bed by 11-ish
Follow my exercise routine

Long Term-Lose 22 pounds
Continue eating better and going to be earlier

How will I accomplish my goals?
I will be posting on this blog once a week (on Monday) with a weigh in and how I'm doing with my goals.

I am a chocolate LOVER!!! Earlier this year I went 30 days without chocolate and it was pure torture! BUT, I lost weight while I did it. I've also tried to only eat goodies twice a week. This go around, I think I will limit my goody days to three times a week. Twice was a little too sparse for me and 3 doesn't seem too terrible.

I am a night owl! But going to bed late=obesity. I've read it in several articles that going to bed late can cause many problems most especially obesity and weight gain. So I will try to be in bed by 11 each night (hey, 11 is early for me).

Exercise has never been a problem for me. I like to do The Firm workout videos and have been using them since I was 18. They have a variety of workouts and they work well for me-I even used them while I was pregnant. I also go walking & jogging with my kids in the jogging stroller. But even though I'm a pretty good exerciser, there's always room for improvement. So I lined out a general schedule for myself to complete each week and my goal is to stick to it! My schedule fits in a variety of workouts each week and makes me workout longer than I usually do. Also, I'm going to try and do a little more ab work...I think it's time to start Operation: Goodbye Muffin Top!

So, now that you're bored out of your skull I'll stop yacking!
I'll post a before picture soon-no motivation like seeing yourself in a picture--bleck!

CRAVINGS!!! AARGH!

2011-07-17T21:59:00.000-06:00

I was really good today. I didn't eat a ton. I ate decently well. I did have a few Reese's Pieces. I have been chugging water like mad. I actually broke down and had a (ONE) Diet Coke, but I justified it with the fact that I don't want to go through caffeine withdrawal headaches.
But now I am facing my biggest trial.
Night time.
Snack time.
Midnight Snacks.
Yup, I'm a sucker for a small meal about 9 or 10 pm. And I am DYING!!!
BUT so far I have been good!!! And I'm dragging my (and Paul's) butt to bed soon so I'm not tempted anymore!!!
I once heard that if you do something for 3 days in a row it becomes habit (like exercise), or gets out of your system (like eating sweets or snacks). But if you let your guard down for even 1 day you are in trouble again! I'm holding to that... here's to 2 more days no snacks after dinner!!!
How is everyone else doing?

Inspired by Lisa!

2011-07-17T21:10:00.002-06:00

I've been inspired by Lisa to start posting on here and show how serious I am about changing my life and making it better.

I have decided to go public with my weight loss goals as well. When I married my husband 4 years ago I weighed 150 lbs and I still thought I was heavy. My ideal weight for my height is around 120-130. Since I got married I gained 20 pounds which is where I was when I got pregnant. When my daughter was born I was up to 225. She is now 2 years old and I've only gotten down to 208.

I am ready for a change!! I'm ready to look good in clothes again and to be able to jog and hike and backpack and all those things I used to be able to do before I got married. I'm looking forward to being able to chase my little girl around the park and jog with the jogging stroller and go backpacking for a weekend without almost killing myself.

Some of my goals are:

Work out 3x a week for at least 30 minutes not including lifting weights.

Following the Eat to Live diet pretty closely. (We have to fudge a little so we don't go crazy. No one can eat that many veggies all day every day.)

Getting my weight down to 170 at least by the time we leave on our cruise around New Zealand in January. (I need to look at least decent in a bathing suit by then.)

Getting my weight down to 130 at least to stay forever and ever.

Run a 5k.

Run a 10k.

Go backpacking in the Cascades for 3 days without dying. :)

Establish a comfortable and fun exercise routine that becomes as natural as brushing my teeth.

My rewards include:

A dinner at Canlis or The Herb Farm with James when we both get where we want to be weight-wise.

A whole new wardrobe (this one may take a few shopping trips but I am going to go wild and yes, I'm already saving my allowance)

I'm ready to start reporting on my progress to the world in the hopes that it will shame me into this weight-loss thing. I'll be back weekly on Sunday nights to report on the week as far as my eating and exercise goals and my weight-loss for the week. We can do it!!

Baring it all...

2011-07-16T22:37:00.000-06:00

OK, I'm gonna do it.
In an effort to finally motivate myself, I'm stooping to humiliating myself.
This sucks.
*Deep Breath*
I weigh..........
.....................265 pounds.....
Yup. That's atrocious. It makes me SICK!
This is me now.

This is me right after we got married... at 165 pounds.

(Remember, I am 5'11" tall... I can weigh that much and still look pretty darn good...)
No more excuses!!!
I'm tired of being asked when my baby is due (as I hold him in all his 7 month old glory...)
So here we go!

Excuses that no longer work for me:
-I just had a baby. (He's almost 7 months old!)
-I might have insulin resistance - so what is the point of trying to lose weight if my body won't let me. (Uh, hello. You've been using excuses for 6 years as to why not to lose weight! If you'd been eating well all those years, even if you DO have insulin resistance, you would not be anywhere NEAR this weight!)
-I have way too far to go. It will be too hard. (What's that saying about eating an elephant?)
-I am too tired. (So? Exercising makes you feel better!)
-It's too hot. (And in the winter it will be too cold... just do it!)
-My baby won't stop crying. (Then workout while holding him!!!)
-I'm too busy. (Will life EVER be easier than now??? I don't think so!)
-I love food too much. (You love fruit and veggies as much as sweets... focus on them.)

My hubby has lost 26 pounds since he started his new job in February. Time for me to join him.
SOOO.... I have new goals and guidelines posted to your right...
And if you want to join me, you are more than welcome!!! Just send me your email and I'll invite you as an author.

Week 1

2011-06-29T15:45:00.000-06:00

Life got crazy on me... again.
But I've realized something. Life isn't ever going to get easy. So I need to learn how to work my weight loss into my crazy life. And just by writing that it makes me feel better - like I'm no longer avoiding this issue. And I'm done making excuses.
I did make a little headway this week. I changed out my normal chips and fatty snacks for steamed broccoli and cauliflower. LOVE it!
AND......
I lost 2.2 lbs!!!!
Not a lot, but as long as I start to see progress I WILL keep going!
Thus far this week, I haven't been good. At. All.
And I've been using excuses.
NO MORE EXCUSES!!!
Exercise will NEVER be easy to fit into my schedule.
But I have also learned that my kids need the exercise as much as I do. So we are trying to do things they want to do with me. (Just Dance Kids anyone? Or a bike ride/stroller jog?)
That's all for today!

I am a woman.
I am a mom.
I am a stay at home mom.
I have gained A LOT of weight in doing so. (107 lbs, to be exact)
(I have also gained 3 beautiful children...)
BUT
it's time for a change.
I am, actually, mostly comfortable with my body and myself.
But I know I'm not healthy in most ways.
So it's time to get moving.
I'm posting some goals.
And if you would like to join me - let me know!
I'll invite you to be an author on the blog.
You can write out your goals, successes, failures, rants, brags, etc.
Let's help eachother out, girls!
Because heaven knows, we aren't in this alone!!!
