Staying Motivated
It's almost 2 months after Christmas and the gyms are starting to empty out as people lose their "New Year" motivation to get fit. And I mist confess that I'm feeling the pull to quit trying to lose weight myself. My husband hasn't been too supportive... I've lost only a little weight...we all have excuses and I have mine. But I am choosing to push through and continue. I went for a walk this morning even though it was misting outside. I found it very invigorating and am still feeling the energy from it a couple of hours later. I'm listening to some Tony Robbins tapes. I love him. He's very motivating. He talks about health, relationships, success and all kinds of great things that affect our mind sets. So I encourage you now to reaffirm your commitment to yourself and to your goals and lets continue to push forward together.

Monday Weigh in and what I ate 2.4.08-2.17.08
Almost forgot to weigh in this morning.
Lost 8 ounces which is half a pound. Weighed in at 157.7
Ronnie isn't here for me to drag onto the scale. He didn't want to admit last week that he had gained a pound. I don't seem him embracing this with full enthusiasm yet, although he did exercise twice last week that I know of.
Here's what I've been eating which will also help explain why my weight loss is so slow. I've been on quite a chocolate binge lately but am still grateful that I'm losing some weight even if slowly.

2.11.08 weigh in
Nedalee weighed in at 158.0 pounds this morning. a loss of 1 pound 2 ounces since last week and a total of 7.5 pounds over the last 6 weeks. Not a rapid weight loss, but respectable since I've eaten pretty much anything I wanted.
Ronnie hasn't weighed in yet this week, I'll follow up with that soon.

What I ate 2.1.08- 2.3.08
2.1.08
Exercise 10 minutes on the rebounder.
Breakfast---Neat Balls
Lunch—Two wonderful avocado tacos made by my wonderful husband.
Dinner—1 slice pepperoni, sausage and sausage pizza, 3 cheese filled ravioli, 2 bread sticks with honey. I would have made better choices if I hadn’t had outside influences but Ronnie decided that after 4 days of healthy eating he needed a "cheat day."
8 16 ounce glasses of alkaline water, I think that’s a record for me but I was actually that thirsty.
2.2.08
Glass of fresh vegetable juice squeezed on my Champion juicer by my husband Ronnie
Breakfast—Neat balls.
Lunch—2 of Ronnie’s wonderful veggie avocado tacos.
To be honest, I forgot write down what I ate for dinner, but I remember having about 6 cookies. I’ve had a lot of loss this past week and a half and was depressed over the weekend.
2.3.08
Breakfast---2 of Ronnie’s completely none diet, but very delicious breakfast burritos.
Lunch—Neat Balls, about 6 chocolate mint no sugar but non-diet cookies.
Dinner—Cornbread muffin, 2 chocolate chip cookies, and a lot of bar-b-qued meats.
Ronnie didn't remember to keep a food journal this week. I know that he mostly dieted 4 days and ate junk Friday through Sunday, and still had better results than I did.

Nedalee's and Ronnie's Results:
I weighed in at 159.2 pounds this morning which is actually a 1 pound gain for me. I was depressed over the weekend and ate a lot of junk.
Ronnie on the other hand ate a lot of junk over the weekend and lost 1 pound 9 ounces weighing in at 267.1.
I lost my great-uncle to a peaceful death on the twenty-first of January the same day that Heath Ledger died, and had two acquaintances take their own lives in the last week. I'm going to talk a little about that and how it relates to nutrition in my next post.
