I didn't lose any weight this week. I stayed the same 185.2. I guess that is good, at least I didn't gain any weight. Still a little disappointed that I didn't even lose an ounce.
Let me see, I had a few warm chocolate chip cookies yesterday when Gwyn and I made them. They where good going down. Then I hurt my hip at work this last week, and it scared me so bad. I felt it 'pop' and I felt a 'pop' when I broke my leg. I cried for a long time, and felt sorry for myself the rest of the day. I ate chocolate and fast food and and ice cream bar. So, lets think...hmmmm that could be why I didn't lose any weight this week.
I need be stronger emotionally. And not buckle into eating chocolate or ice cream to make me feel better. Get up off my rear and exercise, that is the best medicine for being down emotionally.
I went to the trainer at the gym yesterday and told Nic that I needed some exercises to strengthen my knees. He gave me 3 exercises that I can do at home. So, I can work harder at them. But, it scared me that using the bad leg, I have no strength what so ever. My leg shakes and cann't bend just standing on the leg and bend it. I am wondering if I need to go back to the doctor and see if that is normal. Maybe I can just call him and see if I need to come and talk or if they can just tell me over the phone. I can bend just fine on the other leg.
And I thought my leg was getting really strong. It is better than it was...just has a long ways to go.
I have been riding the bike every day for 45-60 minutes averaging at least 5 days a week. It feels good to exercise, I can acually say I enjoy it. And the day is not as good as it can be when I don't exercise in the morning. Never, Never thought I would ever day that.

Checking in....March 4, 2011
Ok, so starting a blog and then getting really sick, did nothing for the eating better and keeping track. It did help with weight lose. Because I didn't eat for 4 days I lost a few pounds, then I started to feel better, gained a couple of pounds back...what a yoyo.
I weighted in this morning after exercise. 185.2 I am excited about that! My goal right now is to get below 180...I haven't seen that for really long time. Then I will set a new goal.
And I am going to be better about keeping track of my food intake. I am beginning to feel better, still not all the way better. But, I have gone back to the gym, and that is important.
Over this past week, I have only missed 1 day and have been trying to get at least 45 minutes. I need to step up the intensity on the bike, I usually have it at a 3 and it is getting easy for me. I went for 1 hour today. It felt so good!

Getting started...
I meet a friend at the gym a while ago...we got to talking and she told me that she and her husband had blogged about their weight lose. And that it had helped them. Because they had something else to be accountable to.
I have been thinking about it a lot since then, and decided that I needed to do something like that. I am not able to do it on my own. I need something else to be accountable to, besides myself.
It seems like over the past few months, I have gained almost 10 pounds. That is so bad. I know that my life has had a few bad bumps since November...no excuse! If I want to have a qualilty of life and not worry about my health, I need to do something about it. And maybe with my example and food choices, Mark will also be able to get his body into shape.
I am blessed that I am a morning person, and can get up out of bed and be off to do a hundred things. Were as Mark is not a morning person and does good to get off to work and that is it in the mornings. (Well we say our prayers and read our scriptures in the morning...) But, he can't go exercise, he tells me he just can't do that. And his evenings are really busy with church work. He has to walk on his lunch at work. That has to be his time.
I am going to really honest with my weight on here. I know that my weight has shocked me, I am sure that it will shock others reading this blog too. I am going to keep track of everything that I put into my mouth, that will probably be a shock to be too. You don't really think about what goes into your mouth unless you write everything down. I am going to make some changes in what we eat for snacks. I am going to learn to like having veggies and fruit for snacks. And after you eat them so much, you will like them...or even have some favorites. I want to be heathly. I know some of the changes that I need to make in my diet, I will learn as I go. Cut out processed sugars, (that is going to be hard...I really like it.)

Weight: 190.2 (That is up 2 oz. from a couple of days ago...see what I mean)
Exercise: Rode the bike at the gym for 45 minutes, need to push it up to 1 hour. (That is something I need to work out, to be able to get 1 hour of exercise in each day and still be able to get home and get ready for work and be at work on time. That means that I need to have my lunch and breakfast ready the night before, so I can just shower and leave for work each day. I can do that!)
Friday food:
Breakfast: 6 grain hot ceral, 2 TBL honey, 1 1/2 cups 1% milk
Water:
