For Women Only: An Ordinary Woman's Diet, Fitness, Weight and Beauty Log and Diary

I want to glorify Christ in my body, and I am learning how to do that. My name means "womanly," but what does that mean? When I became a new wife and Christian, I went on a mission to understand Biblical womanhood, focusing on her from the inside. In more recent years, as my body succumbed to the pull of glutony, gravity and aging, I am focusing as well on my physical appearance. I am learning how God would have me live as a beautiful woman (and aren't we all?) in this world for His glory.

I'm 156 this morning. This is the highest I wanna be. Yesterday was a correct food day. If I can stay about 153, I would be happy with that. Life goes on. Hopefully I will exercise tomorrow. Health, Fitness and Beauty are important in the life of a woman. So are her relationships. I am blessed. My pap test was normal.

This morning I exercised at the club and that was great actually. Yesterday eating was alright, about a B. Today I didn't weigh myself. It is going to be a good hairday. I'm wearing a cool new suit. Would love a back massage!

Hard to keep track of yesterday

But I think is was okay. I bought a bunch of new clothes. They were mostly size 10, but I didn't care. I think 8's fit too, but not as well. Some 10's were baggy. I'm going to enjoy it anyway. I hope not to keep going up, but if I can stay between 150 and 155 on my scale that is fine, but I am a liitle over that. I just have to watch everything I eat all the time. That is hard, but not too hard. I overeat sometimes, but make up for it other times.

day in day out difficulties and successes

I decided I didn't want to write here so often. I didn't like how it was the first blog that one sees when I update it rather than my other site. But then again, it really helps when I do this.

So I got "down" to 154.5 and immediately had a splurge, and then last night had another little splurge. I was "celebrating." I did actually exercise yesterday at spin class for 50 minutes at 5 AM. Important to do! This AM I am about 157. I don't like it when I get up to this amount because clothes begin not to fit. Oh well! It is a success too. So, I thank God.

Today

I forgot to weight myself until after I got wet in the spa. However, I was still bearly 155, so that is an improvement. I feel a tad thinner. I am not exercising, but am not yet completely unfit, but I suppose that I am working on that. I am having fun working at my job lately. Passed up cheesecake at the office. Wanna get back down so I can better wear my clothes. What a difference 8 pounds make and an exercise regimen!

Hold on

Okay. So today I am 155 on the scale. I didn't eat exactly to my schedule the last couple of days, but tried to hold it together. I haven't exercised in a week. I woke up before 5 AM this morning without trying and I suppose that I should have gone to the club, but I didn't/ I laid there in bed instead, thinking that I could fall back to sleep. No such occurance. Anyway, I need to push on because my clothes still don't fit right. God's grace to you. I am thankful though.

Warning signs

Well, I didn't weigh myself the last two mornings, haven't exercised (but have been really busy) and I've kind of kept to my eating schedule but not perfectly. A lot of things (exciting) happening at work.

Going

155 today. Followed dietary rules yesterday. Too busy and exhasted to exercise. Did good with my hair.

Tuesday, April 10, 2007

I followed the dietary restrictions that I placed for myself yesterday. Didn't exercise this morning because I was on call late last night. Got my nails done with my daughter yesterday. Weight today is 158 because yesterday was artifically low due to being post-period. Pressing on....

Is this an emergency?

Well, to answer my own question, no. But then again, it sort of is. Like a smoke detector that is beeping in your back room and the cigarette that is smoldering.

So I am 156.5 today and I am having a hard time going to the LA Weightloss diet. Each day I try, until the candy thing comes past my nose and I want to eat it. Today is a new day.

I just got back from a trip. Maybe that made things worse. I used to exercise in the fitness rooms. Not this time. Oh yuck. Well, a day at a time.

I got into my jeans. I want to keep it that way. I am wearing clothes that are a little lower on my waist for a easier transition to the thigh explosion.

So, this may seem like trivia to you, but it isn't. The smoke detector saves lives and cigarettes kill (by fire or inhalation).

days slip by

got to 152.5 and then up to 155 and down to 153.5 and then I went to the LA Weightloss place and there weighed 155.6. I cycled on Saturday and haven't been getting my home exercises done. I got a back massage, manicure and pedicure yesterday. I completed my two week semi-fast according to the rules and the transition to the LA Weightloss diet did not go well. I took the opportunity to eat those sugary foods I missed. The weird thing was the disappointment in the taste and satisfaction level in doing so.

Today is my LA Weightloss rules.
So far I had one dairy, one LA Lite drink, and 2 servings of fruit.
I forgot to weight myself.
