Junk Food Junkie

Today wasn't a good day for food choices! Who am I kidding most days aren't. Maybe I should have named this blog something about failing at losing weight because I seem to be a pro at that. Between bad choices and not working my butt off (I do walk anywhere from 4-5 miles a day at work) I am not gonna get smaller anytime soon! Maybe I am just destined to be a fatty!

Breakfast was a pack of peanut butter crackers. Lunch if you must know was corn dog bites and fries with a soda... inner half a burger 2 onion rings and part of a soda!

I had planned to pack my lunch today but then didn't have time. Maybe tomorrow will be better!

Food woes!

I am not a healthy eater. I know this. It isn't that I don't want to be. I am just super picky! I just tried to eat oatmeal for breakfast. I managed to eat about half the packet before I gave up. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't say it was good either. I would rather just not eat than to eat the rest of it.

Should I give Beachbody on demand a try.

Talk about a long break! It has been an eternity. Well not really... just from the blogging. Whats happened since then. I wouldn't even know where to begin! My weight hasn't really changed a whole lot. Just a lot of up and down and wound up right where I was before! I do have some new medical issues that have came about that could have an impact on my weight. Are they they sole reason of my weight. ABSOLUTELY NOT! My hand to mouth and lack of self control at times definitely factors into my weight. My job these days is also a huge factor. I am definitely a stress eater at times. It depends on the cause of the stress I have found also. When I get stressed out at work I want chocolate!!! Typically my cycle is I drop a few pounds when I am not at work (which honestly is a bit ass backwards because at work I am on my feet the majority of the time walking back and forth with patients. In a typical day I walk 3-5 miles while at work. When I am at home I am usually on the computer not on my feet. Yet I have found that when I am at work I eat more junk and more in general so I pack on the lbs when I am there and when I am off for a bit I drop them. I have always been backwards why should things change there.

I often question should I go back on atkins. I did lose weight on it but I don't think it is the healthiest diet in the world. It definitely isn't for me on a long term basis. Should I get back into p90x. I had great success with it. I dropped pounds and toned up quite nicely. I just got bored with it and I didn't care for the yoga day at all. That is not my cup of tea. Should I go back to weight watchers which I know isn't the same one I did back in the day when I had success. I have the 21 day fix. Should I try that out I have several friends who swear by it. One of which has not only shed some inches and pounds but using shakeology in her diet has helped her stabilize her diabetes and get her sugars under control as well as let he get rid of some medicine.

Maybe I should just try the new promo thing that beachbody has going on. They call it Premium Beachbody on Demand it gives you access to ALL of the Beachbody programs for a $99.95 per year! You can stream all of their workouts and have access to everything that they offer. You get INSANITY, CIZE, T25 CORE DE FORCE, P90X, P90X3, AND MORE!!!

Well isn't that a great idea. Beachbody on demand is a good deal for sure. To have access to all of the programs that they offer for less than 9 bucks a month ($8.33 per month) you really can't beat it. This is especially true for those who don't have the time or interest in heading out to the gym for their workouts and would rather do them at home.

On the bright side Beachbody has also made it easy to give their on demand launch a try! You can try Beachbody on Demand for 30 days free! This free trial offer won't be available forever so don't wait too long to give it a try! It doesn't get much better than free right!

I guess I need to get up off my butt! Lord knows I am not getting any thinner just thinking about how fat I am!

Going alright

So far so good. Did month one of p90x... kinda bored with it so just started to walk instead. Was doing atkins but got very discouraged after dropping 12 lbs the first 3 weeks then gaining 10 back (while still on the plan) during the 4th week. So then I switched over to weight watchers points plus. I have been successful with WW before so hopefully I will again. So far I have lost back almost all of the 10 lbs I had gained back.

Epic Fail... Restart coming soon

2011-01-20T15:13:00.002-05:00

Ok so my plan to do p90x started off great... then there was the problem of it taking me 2 hours to do the 1 hour because I had to keep stopping to take care of "little bit"... with the hours hubby was working between his reg job and then the biz... well the late summer was not the time to be starting that.

Fast forward... November time frame... hubby was finally down to the one job... so I could do my workout once he was home for the evening and he would take little bit and keep him entertained... it was much much nicer when the 1 hour workout actually took 1 hour except for the few occasions when little bit was not having a good day and wanted momma. So what happened... well my knee had started bugging me about a week before I started back on p90x.

Do I have knee problems... well none that I knew of... it just started hurting out of the blue... I wasn't gonna listen to my pesky knee so I went and got a brace to help me work through it... without it... there wasn't a chance... with it... it still hurt like crap but I still did it... then I just got lazy plain and simple... put it off one day... that turned into two... and that was that.

Now here we are... the holidays are over... and I'm still fat as ever. My little bit is now 1 year old and it is time to buckle down and get busy!

So... shortly... I will be starting back on my weight watchers... I won't be doing the new points plus program however I'll be sticking to my tried and true points (not even flex points but the one before that) ... why? Well on it when I was getting 20 points a day counting everything (ok ok well I wasn't counting everything because I didn't count my soda .. I know bad bad bad... but I lost weight...) and I know that most foods on the new plan are more points... but they give you a min of 29 points to use and then with the fruits and veggies being free... yeah I would just rather stick with what I know and what I know works.

Since it is warming up I plan to get little bit out in the stroller and put some miles under his wheels... that is the plan... I seem to have no trouble coming up with the plans lately.. but the execution is where I'm falling way short.

So I haven't decided exactly what day I will be restarting yet... I have to figure out my food menu and all too. But... I'll check in when I get that all figured out. All I know is I am soooo super sick of this weight. If the folks on the biggest loser can run... then by gosh I should be able to too... you get the picture!

p90x - Day 1

2010-09-07T00:01:00.003-04:00

So what is new? Well I had my third and final child as well as my third and final c-section 8 months ago... and I can't for the life of me get rid of the last few lbs of weight from the pregnancy so I can then get started on the extra I was packing before I got preggo. I get within 5lbs of my pre-pregnancy weight and I gain 5lbs back... lose it and then gain it back... it is really getting old. So I started P90X today. OMG it kicked my rump big time! No pain no gain right! I do have before pics that I will post when I have some results to show.

Starting weight is 167.0

Who knows!!!

2007-06-28T13:13:00.000-04:00

I know I haven't stopped by in a while... and I also haven't been doing my weigh in each week... I do plan to get back to it... sooner rather than later but just wanted to take a moment to drop by and leave a note to all of you the keep checking back for an update!

Happy 4th of July!!!

Weigh In

2007-05-17T10:01:00.000-04:00

Today's weigh in was 175.2

I don't have too much to say about it other than I'm not happy! I think I am fixing to buy an eliptical... maybe that will help.

Cubecan's Creations

Weigh In! UGH!

2007-04-19T10:03:00.000-04:00

So I finally remembered to weigh myself on weigh in day! I wish I had forgot! 172.6 ICK!!!

I am beginning to think this is a lost cause! Maybe I should start taking up a fund for lipo & tummy tuck! :P

Cubecan's Creations

hard time!

2007-04-15T16:53:00.000-04:00

Seems I can't remember to weigh in lately. This past week the kiddos were off on spring break so everything was a bit more crazy than normal. Hopefully I will remember to weigh in this Thursday although I am sure I won't be happy with what the results are!

Doctor's Scales

2007-03-13T19:19:00.000-04:00

Ok ... so I go to the doctor the other day. I don't like their scales even more than I care for mine. There scales lied big time... all 3 sets of them that I got on! HA HA!!! Seriously though... why is it that when I go to the doc their scale is always higher than mine at home but I know that mine at home are calibrated... when I pop a 10lb weight on them I get 10 lbs on the dial!

I told the guy that the scales were wrong then he went to check my bp... I told him that it was probably high after what the scales had to say! lol

Weigh In

2007-03-10T15:12:00.000-05:00

This week I did remember to weigh in I just haven't had time to post until today! Last week's weigh in was 167.6 so down just a bit which I was pleased to see. Hopefully I will remember to weigh in this Thursday as well!

Weigh In

2007-02-22T12:51:00.000-05:00

Well I remembered to weigh in this week... luckily the scale wasn't too horrible to me this time. 169.6 (which is where I was 2 weeks ago if I remember correctly) I figured it would be 175 or so by now!

I seriously don't get it... I don't pig out or anything... so why do I keep gaining weight!

Cubecan's Creations

another weigh in :(

2007-02-09T12:46:00.000-05:00

Well I have another weigh in that I am not thrilled with. Yet again I have gained weight instead of losing it. I haven't been eating like a pig so I don't get it. Anyway... 169.8 now. That just makes my stomach turn!

Cubecan's Creations

Weigh In - It gets worse!

2007-02-03T11:36:00.000-05:00

So weigh in on Thusday was 167.8 ... just when I was thinking it couldn't get much worse. *sigh* Oh well... just gotta get back on the wagon and keep going right!

I really hate my scales - Weigh In

2007-01-25T14:22:00.000-05:00

I really hate my scales with a passion. I forgot to weigh in last week but unfortunately I didn't forget today. If I would have had a hammer I would have smashed my scales this morning... 166.6 .... what in the world happened over the past 2 weeks? GEEZ!!!! Oh well... time to hop back on the band wagon right.

Weigh In - Holding Steady!!!

2007-01-13T14:57:00.000-05:00

Weigh in for this week was 163.4 just holding steady for now I guess. That is better than gaining any day! I haven't really been keeping track of what I have been eating. I should really start doing that again because that is when I was seeing the most loss each week.

Cubecan's Creations

Weigh in - right direction at least

2007-01-04T18:58:00.000-05:00

So I did actually weigh in this morning like I was supposed to... 163.8 so at least it is heading in the right direction since the other day. Not much to say right now about the whole diet thing except I don't wanna be on one I'd much rather eat all the junk that I wanna eat but that would mean that I'd be bigger than the house and I am not having that. Guess I will just have to deal with the diet!

Have a great week everyone... see ya at next weigh in!

Cubecan's Creations

Gotta get back on the diet!!!

2006-12-31T16:02:00.000-05:00

I have to get back on my diet before I gain a zillion pounds back. I won't make it my New Year's resolution though because those often get dropped by the wayside! I will just have to say that I'm going to get back on there and stick to it. It should be easier now that the holidays are over and things have calmed down a bit. The kiddos will be going back to school soon and life will return to a more normal state.

I still haven't weighed in... I dread it so! I guess I will go right now and hop on the scales even though it won't be truely accurate since I have been up for quite a while and I have eaten already today. Hang on... the horrible weigh in amount will be back in a sec...

164.4 ... I must say that isn't nearly as bad as I had expected it to be. I figured I was up to 170 at least with the way I have been eating whatever and whenever lately. Official weigh-in will be on thursday as usual...

Happy New Year!

Cubecan's Creations

Still no weigh in

2006-12-28T15:34:00.000-05:00

Well, I have still not weighed in. I am not looking forward to it at all either. That is probably why I haven't bothered to do it. I guess I will have to make my New Year's resolution be to get back on track with my diet because I have definately fallen off the wagon big time.

Forgot to weigh in yesterday! Whoops!

2006-12-15T08:29:00.000-05:00

Well I totally forgot to weigh in yesterday so I will just wait until next week. I don't much care to see what the scales have to say right now anyway. I am sure that I have gained even more weight back because I haven't been very good with my food selection.

I watched the biggest loser finale the other night. I didn't really watch it this season but there wasn't anything else on the other night. They did really good this season. They are definitely a bit more motivated than I am at the moment!

Cubecan's Creations

Weigh in -BLAH!!!!

2006-12-08T18:07:00.000-05:00

Not good... not good at all! Weigh in yesterday was 163.8! Dang It! I blame it all on Sonic!
