I feel so horrible. I havent been walking in 4 days, and have no motivation to work out at all. Due to a shortage in help the past 2 weeks I am now working double the nights I ussually work till 3a.m. and then get up around 8 a.m. to take care of my kids and clean house. I have been so physically exhuasted latelty I dont even feel as though I have the energy to do anything.

I have lost 2 pounds this week even though I have not worked out, but that doesnt even help me feel better becuase I know that they were lost simply cuase I have been to tired to fix myself meals.

I hope I can find a way to get out of this slump so I can feel better about myself and have some energy. I have been thinking about buying a new workout video or some new walking shoes  so maybe I’ll buy them early and see if they help give me some motivation. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

I do so well at staying on track on my days off. I make it easy on myself becuase I simply wont buy the junk But I work at Wendys and when you are there for 7-10 hour shifts and start getting hungry it seems like a losing battle to not eat the greasy fried Junk. I dont get a “lunch break” or even sit down to eat I eat in between customers a bite here a bite there so that makes it even harder, becuase in 2 minutes I can eat a few greasy fries or deep fried chicken nuggets but I dont have time for there healthier options Like a salad or baked potato, by the time I would prepare them I wouldnt even have time to take a bite before I had to step away and Because of cross contamination food may not be left out at all if I must walk away to take orders or something then the food must be put away (which I dont have time to do so it goes in the trash) I have yet to find an easy healthier option that will work for my at work eating. any suggestions  would be greatly appreciated

I found this a couple of weeks ago and it is too cool you can use it to track your miles find new paths share paths and to check inclines. It has been really awesome for me cuase I am a walker and biker. Hope it helps. http://www.prevention.com/mywalkingmaps/?cm_mmc=Spotlight-_-6132008-_-Fitness-_-My%20Walking%20Maps

I dont enjoy exercizing a whole lot, and after about 15 minutes I’m done but I started noticing that when I would get a call while walking or if it was raining and I had to work out at home where I have music I would work out alot longer. I am one of those people who can clean their entire house while on the phone and dont even notice I did it till I finally hang up. So I rewarded myself with a new Ipod and Sport cell phone (I dropped the regular one alot) and now I will call my mom or one of my girlfriends for one of our hour long talks and start walking or for every 10 lbs lost I reward myself with some new tunes for the Ipod (boy do people stare when I’m singin’ while I walk but who cares it moves me. Anyways here is what I was trying to get to the walking/biking path that I normall take goes right by our local senior center and today while walking and singin’ some fergie I hear some one coming up behind me (i only put in one earbud so I can hear traffic ect) I turn to see a woman that has to be in her seventies roller blading and after passing me she is starting to hum my Fergalicious. Not only is it so totally awsome of her to be in such great shape to be able to do that but wow she was singing fergie!!! Too cool, too funny!!! and what a great inspiration!!

Although I havent been on buddy slim this whole time I have been improving myself for a whole year now. My decision to make “ME” my hobby came when I went to our local CVS pharmacy to pick up pictures from my sons birthday party. when I opened the pictures I almost began to cry I looked so large (My starting weight at this point was 268 lbs) and unhappy in those pictures. I sat the next couple days moping and wandering where “I” had went. then I set my self to it and decided I wasnt going to be this way anymore. That is when I decided to make my new hobby MYSELF I started out super fast and lost almost 20 lbs my first month, but I over did it and slid back and gained ten of it back so now through eating better (still eating alot just alot healthier) and exersizing (mostly walking and hiking) and pampering (yes that too) I have lost 68 lbs in one year. I still have a ways to go but I know I can do it . and to all of you who read this I’m not normally a bragger or one to talk about myself. to me this is kinda my little celebration for making it a whole year I am proud of myself and all who are being winners/losers
