A Change Is Gonna Come

REALLY SOON (as in April 1), not only will I use my blog slightly differently, but also my Facebook page. I will be uploading more photos and also showing recipes of what I am eating--all low carb! I will still be using Saturday's as my "cheat", "off plan", "non diet", "fun day". I will be following the "Total Body Makeover" workout regimen and not eat bread, pasta, rice or potatoes. I will follow this eating plan until and through the rest of the year... Obviously there will be blips of cheat days, like the Dells in two weeks, my birthday, Jamaica... But other than that, I will stick to this. After making a plan to work out the last couple of weeks, I feel stronger and I know this is what I have needed to add in the whole time. I still am not back to 196, which is where I was at the beginning of the moth, but I will be back there soon. I am at 200... AGAIN!!! I always give up in the 190s, I can't give up this time!

Spring Fever

HOLA! This week has been nice, I am on Spring Break and haven't even given school a thought since last Thursday! As far a diets go, I would say I am not following one. My plan was to start a work out routine and stick with it for a couple of weeks before changing my diet back to low carb. In my head, it makes me feel like I will stick with working out during the diet transition, rather than adding exercise in after not working out... Well Monday I did some weight training and played Dance Central. My legs hurt like CRAZY! For like 2 days! Yesterday Randall and I went for a walk. Today I will be weight training again! Hopefully tomorrow they are not a sore. I gots plans yo! And they require dancing!

We are going to IA for a friend's 30th B-Day party! I am actually really excited. Feels like forever since I have actually gotten to hang out with her and I am really looking forward to it! She is the sweetest girl and so much fun to drink with! I love road trippin', getting out of Rochester and going to new bars! WIN, WIN WIN! Now... What to get her for a gift?

Happy Weekend!

Remember Me?

Oh wow, can you tell I have been bad? I haven't blogged since Feb. 27th! Well I will try to make this short and sweet. OMG, did someone say sweets? I need a snack!

Last Monday, February 28th, I started Weight Watchers Points Plus online program. At first it seemed great, but by Friday March 4th, I had stopped tracking, stopped caring and stopped losing! All I thought about was food. Pondering what I really wanted, where to get it and how much I could eat! I sound like a drug addict! BECAUSE I AM!

Hi my name is Robyn, and I am a carboholic. You know how people get to go to rehab for alcohol & drug abuse? When they get out people don't drink around them or talk about drugs around them... I wish I could go away for treatment! Obviously that can't happen, and people are not going to stop eating around me! Food consumes my thoughts. Even as I type I can't stop thinking about what I should make for dinner and what to have for dessert later! Gross!

Needless to say, I got a refund on WW and this week have been trying to get back to a low carb lifestyle, but I have blown it everyday! This is why I am still heavy, I can't stop eating crap! Now, I don't sit at home and stuff my face until I can't breathe, nor do I binge eat. But I do eat too big of portions of high fat/high carb foods (Mac N cheese, pizza, ice cream).

I have only gained a couple pounds back, and I am sure it's water weight, but I feel so frustrated and helpless! I am tired of being fat. Why can't it just disappear?

Reason #569 to not have kids:
Your genes are what make up your children. I would hate to have a child go through what I am feeling. I know the pain of being overweight as a child and as an adult. It is not as easy to JUST do something about it. It takes A LOT of hard work and dedication and makes you feel like a failure when you know you are not!
