Wow. I had an extremely stressful time yesterday. Just all this carp falling on me.
So I ate a small dinner and went to have an early dessert-snack and it was so delicious. I scarfed the popcorn with extra melty cheese and butter (I KNOW!) down SO fast. I ate a bag and really wanted a 2nd, but I didn't do it.
Grrreaaaaat.
So then my weight was 2 lbs more. Ahhhhhh. 153 lbs.
I had a great holiday trip, and I was more active than usual in different ways. I ate all my proper meals, which means I ate more than I was recently before. And I also cut way back on soda, although all my soft drinks were the big brands with fake ingredients.
I maintained weight. Of course I'd hoped I'd lost. Well at least I didn't gain. Now I have to work. Don't even know where to start now.
I suppose I need to bring back up the distant memory on how to do motionless exercise.
Thanks for all the comments on my starting Motionless Exercise. I actually haven't done it once since. Gosh, it's nearly a month later! I want to do it during TV shows, but there are hardly any on anymore. I'm not motivated to stand different ways for 7 minutes with no TV. I'd watch a tape, but the VCR in my room is not working!
I'm still going to do it though! I asked my best friend to order me to exercise, but I can't get myself to do it. I once danced to SexyBack instead. The Motionless Exercises are boring alone!
But he motivated me to move more. I've sort of been doing that. When I'm not working on the computer, I wrap presents or clean (or I can cook or shop). That's been going okay, but my motivation is waning for it, naturally.
By the way, I just had the thought that I might like to do Weight Watchers for my diet portion of my plan. All natural is not doing it. I have a low appetite lately, but it's not helping me to lose ANY weight. I don't understand. When I get very depressed and eat less (which is not now), I lose a lot. Now I'm not eating so much, at least I think, but I hover ABOUT the same weight.
Anyway, I like the whole points idea. I cannot put the time in to count calories, but keeping track of a few points sounds simple. But can I eat regular foods and still know their points? I NEED to be able to eat at restaurants and from the grocery store. The little Applebees WW section is not going to cut it.
No, I did not do the motionless exercises tonight, and I won't yet tonight either. Instead, for about 5 hours, I massively cleaned my room.
It's been a growing pile of pit-ness since November. All the presents piled up in this season did not help the not-quite trash pile of my bedroom.
I'm practically completely cleaned out! The presents are even totally organized (and virtually under the tree).
My back hurts though, but I know I got a good workout in. I'll sleep past the alarm tomorrow, I can feel it.
I'm sure it will help the weight, but I can't credit any loss today to the new plan. Ah, well, I won't notice by week's end what came from today.
That sounds crazy. And it was on an infomercial. But I think I was close to thinking of this before. It's a Motionless Workout. I watched the infomercial and (while of course it didn't tell us what to do, just how to purchase the plan), I decided what I thought it was and did a whole routine while watching.
I stand in positions that stretch my muscles and/or I tighten my muscles. I switch about every minute and a half.
This may be crazy, but I tried it and I felt like I got a good work out!
I may be crazy for this as well, but I'm trying this, 7 minutes a day for two weeks, and see how I've done.
Go ahead, call me crazy, really, do! But if anyone wants to join, let me know and if you need me to, I'll try to explain how I do it.
Wow, it's been over a year. So here's the story...
I got really frustrated with hitting a floor and trying everything but nothing working. Then I discovered natural food and went full time to school, so there was also a lot of walking. Woosh, I went down to low 120s and looked better.
(Btw, The reason I took a bus last September was because my mom was in a car accident and she couldn't drive for a while, but a few months later and we could drive, and boy do we.)
But, like I said, I took full time classes. Suddenly FINALS came and I ate cookies while I studied non-stop (it's about that time again). I gained. Then I kept on gaining for months somehow. I hit 158 lbs!!!
I've lost ten pounds but met another floor. I can't get below 146. I'm struggling. And I don't want what will absolutely be a ROUGH finals time for me to make me gain those pounds back.
Meanwhile right now, I'm more into personal blogs again. I left this blog because I was too busy. Although it worked to focus so much on weight, it didn't make me happy and my other activities, work, and blogs suffered.
I think I should never have stopped. And I genuinely want to do it right now.
And like I said, the Holiday season is busy. I have classes almost until the holidays, and after Christmas, I'm taking a trip. I'll have some more time in January though. Hey, I'm almost graduating!
Wish me luck. And send any (nice) help your way!
I have been soo busy. Walking and taking buses to school makes me more tired, and takes longer, too! Bad news for blog. Awesome news for thighs, calves, and overall inches! Scale? Forget da scale; it lies! I've added muscle and lost MATTER.
