Asthma making it difficult to eat :(

I am still around although I am not feeling the best due to my asthma flairing up. Each year I always seem to get sick with an asthma attack when the weather changes. The evenings have been quite cold the last few days (around 35 degrees) and that has affected the way I am feeling.

I really have NOT had an appetite due to not being able to breath freely so I have been basically forcing myself to eat my WW points. Hmmmm I wish I had this problem when I am feeling good LOL. So all is good on the WW front :) I really have been doing well with keeping OP. I have not been doing as well on the excercise front but with asthma symptoms I really can't force myself to excercise because it only makes it worse so I am taking a break on that until I get to feeling better.

Any ways I just wanted to update. I hope everyone is having a great OP day and a BIG LOSER WEEK!!!!!!!!

No Gain but a Maintain!!

Well I didn't gain so that is the good news. I maintained so I can't be to unhappy because at least it's not a gain. I know that I won't lose every single week I am OP and a maintain is better than a gain. I know that sooner or later I will have a gain and I just have to prepare myself for that when the time comes but for now I am enjoying my success each new week that goes by :) My official WI day was on Saturday so I am posting this late because this weekend was just crazy busy!

Today I have been craving "sugar" like a bad habit and I am not sure why :( It's frustrating when this happens because the only thing I want to do is eat SUGAR!! I have been struggling with it today but so far I have been "good" ;) I really feel it's psychological at this point because this whole month I have been doing so well with the sugar cravings being gone and now all of a sudden it's the week of Halloween and I am craving sugar like the sugar addict that I used to be.

It's hard for me because I work with kids all day in my home so I have access to my kitchen all day long and it's easy to eat what the kids eat although I prepare for that by making my meals ahead of time and along with my healthy snacks I usually am ok throughout the day BUT with all these holidays coming up I am kind of worried. This week is Halloween week and the kiddos and I are doing alot of different fun things and some of it involves food and candy so wish me luck with that :)

My goals for this week:

* To allow myself a little freedom with the halloween "goodies" but to stay OP at the same time.

* To aim at losing 2.5 lbs. this week :)

I hope everyone is having a great OP day ......LET'S ALL HAVE A LOSER WEEK THIS WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

C.C. Christmas Challenge week # 8/ week # 9 on WW

As my little icon says "I AM WORKING MY WAY TO THIN"!!!!!!!! This past week I weighed in at 344.2 and that leaves me with a - 1 lb. loss :) I am VERY HAPPY with that because it's ONE LESS POUND on my body and ONE POUND closer to my goal :) And I got to add another one of C.C. cute snowmen for a total of - 15 lbs. off ...WOOOOHOOOO!! I am 22.2 pounds away from my Christmas Challenge goal and I have faith in myself that I CAN DO IT!! I hope everyone is having a great LOSER WEEK!!! WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WI Day/ Week # 8 with WW

I am another pound down ........WOOOOHOOOO!! I know it's only 1 lb. but it's another pound off my body and another pound closer to goal so I am SUPER HAPPY about it!! I am staying OP , getting all my water in , excercising and doing well. I know that it's not going to melt off as fast as I would like but that is ok with me because slow and steady is the best way to lose and I want to do the best for my body and health :)

Today I start on week # 9 with WW and I am soooo proud of myself for sticking with this. If I feel this good mentally, emotionally and physically after just 17.8 lbs. off imagine how I am going to feel with 20, 30, 40, 50, and 100 lbs. down :) I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am excited about this change in my life and feeling sooooooo good!! I have noticed that I am starting to love myself more and I know that I deserve the very best and I am WORTH IT :)

My new goals for this week:

* To work on my self-positive talk a little more

* To increase my water intake from 100 oz. to 120 oz.

* To walk more for excercise

I hope everyone is having a GREAT WEEKEND so far!! Loser vibes to everyone and let's all have another LOSER WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!

This week has been super crazy but I promise that this weekend I will catch up on blog reading and commenting.

Week # 7 with C.C. Christmas Challenge/ Week # 8 with WW

This is week # 7 with C.C. Christmas Challenge and I am down a total of - 16.8 lbs. and I feel GREAT :) I can't believe I am actually doing this and accomplishing it!!

I have 23.2 lbs. to go to get to my goal of losing 40 lbs. by Christmas Day and I KNOW I CAN DO IT :) I am DOING IT NOW!!!!

Back in Jan. 08 I had committed myself to WW and to losing this weight once and for all but six months into it I quit like a dummy :( So all summer I ate what I wanted and I gained a lot of weight back but finally I came to my senses and on August 22, 2008 I re-committed myself to WW and to losing this weight once and for all and I AM NOT LOOKING BACK!!!

My health is way to important to mess around with therefore I am LOSING ALL THIS WEIGHT and GETTING TO GOAL :) I feel sooooooooo GOOD!! I hope everyone has a great LOSER WEEK!! I am sorry I haven't been posting , life and work has just been busy but I am not QUITTING! I am on my way to VICTORY!!

WI Day .......lost 1.2 lbs......broke the 350 mark ...:)

Hi everyone! I am still here it's just been one of those busy weeks where I couldn't get enough time for even myself. Well today was my official WI day and I lost 1.2 lbs ......yipppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! Even though I was aiming for at least a 5 lb. loss I am NOT DISAPPOINTED in the least. A loss is a loss and at least I didn't maintain again :) I broke through the 350's and that was one of my goals and I DID IT :)

Some things I have noticed since starting the WW plan again is I have sooooo much ENERGY and I really feel GOOD physically, mentally and emotionally! But I am doing well and staying OP and practicing healthy habits so those are all really great NSV's too!!

My goals for this week are:

* To lose at least 3 lbs. this week :) I know I CAN DO IT!!

* To drink my water on the weekends (I have a hard time with this one but it seems to ONLY be on the weekends and I think it's because I am so out of routine but I really want to concentrate on this one)

* To concentrate on eating healthier choices such as good carbs and not the bad carbs and good fats.

Well I hope everyone is doing great this weekend!! This week has been so hectic that I haven't even checked on others blogs but I promise I will catch up on that this weekend. I hope everyone has another LOSER WEEK!!
