I have been posting over the past few months about releasing some of my control. Or if I haven't been posting about it - I have been talking a lot about it. It is sometimes hard to keep track of the difference.
One area of my life that I had NO PROBLEM letting go of the reigns on was my physical fitness and eating habits. I did that about a year or so ago. BUT...that streak is over. NOW.
I need to take some control of it.
I did Weight Watchers a few years ago after Macy was born and I lost 20 pounds. I have the best things to say about WW - but I don't have the funds to partake right now. So - I am going to use a free online service called My Fitness Pal - Laura told me to give it a shot!. So - if I stay fat - we can all blame Laura, right?
I need some support here people.
If you know me in real life - take the cheeseburger away.
If you are my next-door-neighbor - don't bring me cookies.
If you are my neighbor, 1 street removed, don't feed me chips and homemade salsa on a Monday afternoon.
Sonic, only serve me Diet Dr.Pepper - not regular.
Kip, stop eating my Smart Choice frozen lunches for a snack.
Kids - eat all your dinner so I dont have to clean your plate.
And would someone tell me to get off the computer and go walk around the block or something! I commit to attending at least one CLASS at our GYM this week! And going to the gym at least 2 other times.
Thanks so much,
Fatty Signing Off....

Ok...I'm right there with you!!! I'm going to check out myfitnesspal right now!
1st things 1st...get rid of the Halloween candy!!! I cleaned ours out today ;)
I am with you Shauna, I am making me a sign that reads, "Don't Feed the Animal." I think I am about 40lbs heavier than I was in my stealth days of college football. Sad. Be strong girl.
I know the feeling. I am leaving on Wednesday for a trip as well. I need to shape up fast.
Did you know you can do WW online for only $15 a month?
make sure you check out Weight Watchers Wednesday for some more support. You don't have to be a member of WW, but I think it's a great place to share stories of success!!
Good luck with your new fitness goals. You can do it!
New rule:
We all must walk a mile for each post we blog! :) ha!
Great idea for the free site! :)
I've done WW in the past, "
What happened to the rest of my comment? I've done WW, am a lifetime member, have been doing it again for about a month. My problem is physical activity. The sign at my house will be "Don't feed the piggy, put her shoes on her and push her out the door".
I just re-dedicated myself to losing wt. again too. My plan of sitting on my rear end & eating Milk Duds was not accomplishing the body type I'm after!
I joined WW online in the spring -I can swing $15 a month...but I know some people can't, and it's okay! I also keep track of my weight loss efforts using my kids nintendo DS - I have a weight loss game for it! It comes with a pedometer and it tracks your movement and it's like a diary...I need motivation as well..I lost 10 pounds from March to May...and then I had surgery over the summer and it went downhill again...I didn't gain, but I didn't lost. I have since lost almost 3 pounds in the last month...baby steps, you know! Good luck...I used to eat off of my kids plates...but now I just imagine backwash and germs and it has helped me NOT to eat after them anymore! :) LOL! Looks like you have a lot of online support too! :) You'll get there!
First of all- you are gorgeous just the way you are.
But if you wanna see a KILLER site. That is free and goes way beyond the awesome catagory. try this:
Sparkpeople.com
I lost 40+lbs with this site. Seriously.
But I love you the way you are. I mean it- I was pretty stunned when I first met you in person. I just think you are beautiful.
Okay- now I sound creepy and girl crushy. Eww.
I am right there with you. I dumped all of the Halloween candy in the trash today! I have restocked the fridge with lots of fruits and veggies and the cabinets with only healthy snacks. So we will see how it goes. We all need to encourage each other. So get off the computer and go walk!!! OK signing off now, I need to go walk myself.
Hey!I sent you an e-mail today. I know sometimes they go to your junk mail. Just wanna make sure you got it. There was one time-sensitive issue in it.
Also, I am totally checking out this online weight loss thing. Thanks for mentioning it.
Did you join CAC? I will go work out with you if you did.
I hear ya, on your post! I'm going to check out that website you posted!!!
Thanks so much for everything, Shauna! Alicia
That salsa was good, though. Wonder if it would be good with carrots or rice cakes?
What if I replace butter with applesauce? Come on!!
