Walking is good.

I went to put on a pair of jeans yesterday and I nearly died trying to get them on. Holy hell, I gained weight? For the love of all things that a fair, how did that happen? Oh yeah, leading a sedentary lifestyle, eating chocolate, cookies, egg nog, and many other fattening things and not exercising. Flip, I hate being fat.

I detest New Year's resolutions and never make them. Last year I decided to make some changes to me to better myself. I did pretty good but didn't reach all my goals. I can't dwell on the past - its time to start again, put the past failures behind me and keep moving forward.

 One thing I do to sabotage myself is making the excuse that the only place I can get a good workout is at the gym, which feels like its 100 miles away most mornings. I use the excuse that I can't get to the gym (for what ever lame reason) so I will just exercise tomorrow. I'm calling bull shit on that right now. I live in a nice neighborhood with quiet, safe streets. Why not just take a brisk walk around it if I can't go to the gym? So that's what I did this morning.

I updated the iPod, threw on my matching warm up suit, knit hat and gloves and I hit the road. I walked 1.28 miles in 30 minutes and took 3,410 steps. Not too bad for a fat girl. It felt really good and my right foot isn't hurting me at all. It was a good way to start out the day. I had 30 minutes to myself, got to listen to my favorite songs and the air is actually mostly clean and I could breath! Win-win I think.

When I got home, I decided on having a good breakfast to cap off my workout. Are you a grapefruit fan? I really like it drenched in sugar. I love the gritty texture of the sugar with the soft, squishy texture of the fruit. But adding a ton of sugar isn't a good idea, so how to get the sweet without the sugar? Bananas. They are sweet and pair nicely with the sour citrus. This is one of my favorite salads to make too when ever I have to bring a fruit salad. I usually add in some black berries, blue berries or anything else I've got when I do it in salad form.

You will see from the picture half of a cherry turnover. Yes, I ate it. Yes, it was marvelously good. Yes, I enjoyed every flaky, sweet, sticky bite. No, I don't feel guilty about it. A half a turnover is a huge step for me. I bought two yesterday at Sunflower Market with the full intention of eating them both yesterday. But I didn't. Rest assured I will enjoy them before they go bad, but not today. Today I've had a taste and that's all I'm having.

I added my breakfast to My Net Diary and it wasn't as bad as I thought. It was 314 calories, eight grams of fat (all from the turnover) and 61 carbs (ouch!). The turnover and its 16 evil carbs really put me over the edge of my goal of 30-45 grams of carbs per meal. Live and learn.

Today (so far) I have succeeded. I'm a third of the way to my 10,000 steps, I'm not craving anything or hungry and I feel good. In the battle of girl vs. fat, girl won today. Ooh-rah.

To swim or not to swim...that is the question

I'm having a bitchy day today. No real rhyme or reason, just a bad day. In my effort to improve all aspects of myself, I've been trying very hard not to take my bad mood out on my family. It hasn't been easy since every thing they do tramples my last good nerve. I've heard exercise makes you feel better. While I was skeptical at first, I can honestly say it does! Who knew?

Instead of wallowing in bitchiness I decided to take my family to the pool. I didn't realize the pool didn't open until 11 a.m. (we got there at 10:30) so while James took Bridget into the gym, I went and walked around the pool for 30 minutes.

It felt good.

I've reached a point where I'm so out of shape and fat that life just isn't as much fun as it used to be. I hate having to take a few moments after I walk up a flight of stairs because I'm huffing and puffing so hard. I hate feeling uncomfortable in my jeans because they are tight. I'd like to tell you I'm turning over a new leaf but breaking 35 years of bad habits is hard! But I'm counting today as a victory and already looking forward to tomorrow's work out.

Eating is going to be the challenge for me I think because no matter how hard you work out, you have to be eating well too. Its been a struggle for me with James home during the day but I'm trying to get all three of us on a schedule of good breakfast, lunch and dinners with a few healthy snacks thrown in there.

Thank you to everyone who has followed our blog this year. Stick with us. This story will have a happy ending, it's just going to take some time.

Learning from past mistakes . . .

So it has been over a week since my last post about changing my life, and I have to say I am quite proud of myself. I haven't been to the gym every day, but I have been a lot. My house (with the exception of Paige's mess of a room) has been clean all week and I haven't spent money like a crazy woman. I say that is pretty good for me!!!

One thing that I have really been working on is not being too hard on myself. I missed going to the gym yesterday, and the old me would have spiraled out of control and stopped all together. But the new me said it was ok. I am going to the gym today and everything will be fine.

Thanks so much to all the people who have supported in this crazy weight loss fiasco. It mean so much that there is so many people who love me!

Creating a new Tonya.

It is time. Not like all of those times before. This time it is serious. Alex and I talked for 2 hours last night about changing our lives. Not just our bodies, but our entire lives. So here is the plan. Eat better and exercise. Say family prayers and never miss paying tithing. Stop the unnecessary spending and save more. Keep the house clean. Sounds easy right? WRONG!

As we started to look at what we wanted to change about our life I started asking myself what I am doing right in my life? The answer? Not a whole lot. I am not trying to feel sorry for myself or gain the sympathy of others. I know my life needs to change. But here is the harsh reality, I am not doing what I need to do for my family. The most important thing in my life is my family and I am wasting the best years of our lives. I want to be around for Paige and Alex and set a good example for them. All the things that we want to change in our life will make our life infinitely better, so why is it so hard to change?

It is all about sacrifice, and I have finally come to a point in my life where I want to change. Not eating a second helping of Pumpkin Pie is a hell of a lot easier than having to work out an hour on the treadmill. Turning off the tv to read Paige a book isn't too hard either.

I know this post is so much more about weight loss but being fat isn't my only problem, just one of the many. It is time to take some control of my whole life and I hope y'all will enjoy the journey.

P.S. I am weighing in at 246 this morning. I will never weigh this much again. I did and hour of cardio at the gym and burned 390 calories. Surprisingly you can sweat and breath hard without dying...who knew!?

Forgive me Blogger, for I have sinned...

It's been.....a long time since my last post. Not much has happened, unfortunately. I shouldn't say nothing, because my amazing husband James has lost 50 pounds! Yay for him! I'm so proud of him. He's made such good choices over the last few months and its really paid off. He's amazing.

I don't know what my problem has been. Laziness? For sure. Why am I not motivated to stay on track? Dunno, but its bugging me. One new development has been intense heal pain in my foot. I have a heal spur on my left food and now I've developed planter factitious on my right foot. Goody. I went to the doctor this morning and he said to ice, stretch and try to let it heal. So good by treadmill for two weeks. Blah.

But to counteract that, I think I'm going to start swimming again. That doesn't hurt my foot and its a great workout.

I'd love to dazzle all of you with grand plans and fabulous sounding goals but I won't. I never hit my 10,000 steps in one day yet, although that's still my goal. I'm taking it one day at a time and just trying my best each day. I don't have a goal for California in a month, other than exercising and trying to eat better. I'd love to be down 10 or 15 pounds and hopefully I can. Stay with me people, I need the help.

I love that I have such supportive friends and family. Thank you Angel, Bruce, Chantelle, Tonya, Sandy, James, and the countless others who are such a big support. You are wonderful and I love you bunches.

I'm back on the wagon now. It's going to be hard but I'm going to do it. This week I'm going to try to plan out my meals better. Losing weight sucks.

Weight Loss Goals . . .

I need to set some reachable goal for my weight loss. I know what my goal weight is, but that could take years to achieve. I am going to set a goal for before we leave for California. We leave in 51 days, that's a little over 7 weeks and I want to lose 20 lbs by then. That is doable I think. That is only a little over 2.5 lbs a week. What do you all think? I am just going to have to try really hard, which yesterday I did.

I exercised my butt off yesterday! I went to the gym in the morning and walked on the treadmill for 40 minutes, then in the evening my friend Whitni and I went back to the gym or the Deep Water Dynamics class. I love doing water aerobics with all the old ladies at the gym. They are damn funny. Plus it doesn't really feel like you are working out . . . until the next day when you can't move your arms!

I am not sure what I am going to do today at the gym, but I am for sure going...

Starting Fresh

Hi friends and family. This blog has been pretty sad lately and I can tell you why, I have had nothing inspiring to say. I haven't been eating good, or going to the gym, or weighing myself. I only wanted to write about the good things I have been doing, but I realized in order to be successful I need to write about everything I am doing, or not doing in my weight loss battle.

This past weekend I had the best present ever. My wonderful Mom, sister, brother in law and niece came down to visit us in New Mexico. I loved every second I had to spend with them and I cried for 15 minutes when they left. While they were there my bro in law James pulled me aside and was talking to me about this blog and our weight loss in general. He has lost almost 50 lbs since Brenda and I pledged to to lose weight (GO JAMES) and he really want Brenda and I to succeed too. So we all talked about what we could do differently to take some weight off.

One thing that I know will help me is to set some meals for breakfast and lunch. I never have a hard time deciding what too cook for dinner and it is usually pretty healthy. So this week for breakfast Alex and I are going to eat 2 kiwis and 2 slices of sara lee 45 calorie toast with peanut butter. That is only 296 calories and 11 grams of fiber! pretty good and I love that breakfast. I think the key will be to limit each meal to one week. I can eat the same thing for one week and not get sick of it . . . I think. Wish me luck!

We are going to see each other again in November when we visit California and we all want to be skinnier. Please help us by leaving comments and telling your friends about this blog. If we know people are reading this it will make us want to work even harder!

How do people have more that one kid . . .

Paige has been sick all week making it virtually impossible to work out. We did walk around Target for an hour, but I am not sure that classifies as exercise. It sure was fun, so it must not have been exercise.

Since I haven't been able to work out I have been working very hard at watching what I am eating. Last night we had steak (which was cooked beautifully) with broccoli and butternut squash. Butternut squash is a freaken revelation. I swear I could eat it every night it is so delish.

I have no idea what is on the menu for tonight, but I am going to try to have 2 vegis again. More fruit and vegis are key I think.

Wish me luck!

It has been a long time . . . but I am back!

Tonya here. I know the shock of me posting on the blog! I am so frustrated and disappointed with myself! I haven't weighed in or been to the gym in a month (which makes it so painful when you are paying for it!)

I was just reading through my last blog post and I weighed 248. YIKES! I am down to 241.5 which is great, but I can't take all the credit for that. I had strep and pretty much haven't eaten anything for 3 days. But since I am down to 241.5 I might as well take advantage of it and work hard to get under 240. My new goal is to lose 5 lbs by September 1st. Oh it's on!

Thanks to everyone who is so supportive of my sister and me. We need all the help we can get!

First week down, a lifetime to go

How did everyone's first week go? Mine has been hit and miss. This picture was taken on July 12. I was shocked at the number of steps I had that day! That has pretty much been the high point so far for me and most days I am hovering between 4,000-6,000 steps. Not too bad but not where I want to be.

I've talked to a few of you and you are really taking this challenge to heart. You should, its a good thing! If you haven't started yet (Tonya) just do it. You won't be sad.

I've realized two things since I've started wearing my pedometer - 1. Walking 10k steps in one day is totally doable and 2. slight changes to my day have a big impact. I've been taking walks around my neighborhood in the mornings and that helps get my day of to a good start. If I can log 3,000 steps before breakfast, I know its going to be a good day! It also takes the pressure of the rest of my day, especially if I am working.

Are you doing the contest with me? If so, please leave some comments and let me know how the first week has been treating you! Bruce and James have already surpassed the 10k step mark and I am so proud of them! They've already earned their membership into the 10k club, don't you want to join up too?

To our faithful readers, don't give up! Making big changes like this is hard to do but if we all work together, we will succeed!

10k Steps is here!

July 12 is finally here and that means its time to start our contest. Have you bought your pedometer yet? Seriously, I have fallen in love with mine (in a sisterly way of course). This morning I couldn't make it to the gym, I just had such a bad headache. So I took some pills, laid down for a bit and then went for a walk. It felt so good and I'm glad I did it. It also gave me a boost for my day and I'm almost half way to my 10k goal in the first day!

I will admit that I was a little intimidated by this 10k steps goal when I first started thinking about it. What if I couldn't do it? I'd talked so much about it trying to get everyone motivated to do it, but what if I couldn't get to that many steps on a consistent basis? That was before I got my pedometer and I can tell you that my fears were premature. I thought it was going to be a stretch to even get up to 3k steps but now I'm realizing that I could get to 10k steps today if I put my mind to it. Wow, really? YES!

Yes, it is going to take a lot to get to 10k every day, but its not going to be impossible like I thought. If there is anyone out there reading this blog (and I hope there is) and you're not sure about this challenge, let me give you some advice.

DON'T BE A COWARD AND 

LET FEAR RULE YOU! 

GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND DO IT!

Subtle enough for you? If I can do it, a fat girl with barely any will power, anyone can do it. Take the plunge and buy the pedometer. It's a small investment when you think about it - you can get a great one for less than $30. Test yourself, see what you're made of.

From today through the end of August, keep track of your steps. I'm curious to see how many days it takes you to get to 10k steps. I thought it might take me several weeks but now I'm not so sure. In fact, I might even make it there today if I put my mind to it. Kick ass.

I'm sweetening the pot too. I'm going to throw in a super special, top secret prize for the person who gets the most steps in one day. I don't care how you do it, if you run a marathon or decide to walk the state of Utah in one day. Anything over 10k in one day is freakin' amazing! So be sure to take a picture of your pedometer when you make it over the goal. Think anyone can make it to 15k steps in a day? Bruce is almost there with well over 12k.

Keep on track people and you will see results. I'm very proud of all of you that haven chosen to do this. You are all my heroes.

Big kiss, me love you all long time.

How many steps did I walk? Really?!?!

I got my pedometer late Tuesday night and I'm surprised at my first day total. Really, I really walked 4,721 steps my first day?! OK, I think this 10k step goal might be too easy! True, I did make more of an effort yesterday to move around, but isn't that truly the goal for this? 

If you haven't already bought a pedometer, this is really a great one. Not only does it count your steps, but it keeps track of your aerobic activity if you're doing consistent walking for 20 minutes or longer, counts the average calories you burned that day and how far you walked. It also allows you to adjust the length of your stride if you have short, fat legs like me versus someone with long skinny legs who has a longer stride. Plus it resets automatically at midnight and stores your last seven days of steps. Here is the link again to for the Omron HJ-112 Digital pedometer from Amazon.com. It's a beauty!

Keep up the good work people. Here are the people that have expressed interest in doing the program (basically the most awesome of awesome people):

James Fisher (hit 10,000 steps yesterday!)
Camille Ballou
Ami Frandsen
Patricia Arp
Bruce Greenhalgh (had over 12,000 steps the other day!)
Marci Hansen
Tonya and Brenda


We would love to add your name to this list so please leave a post, Facebook me, call, text or e-mail me and let us know you want to do it. Besides the prizes (and they are pretty great), its gives you the opportunity to try doing something that is good for you. My goal today is to get the aerobic counter to register the steps and move up to the 5,000 level for steps.


Keep up the good work!

I almost have hit my two week goal . . .

Because I am down almost 4 lbs! Remember last week when I made a goal to lose 5 lbs in 2 weeks? Well I am 1 lb away from hitting my goal! Yeah! I am telling you working on the treadmill on an incline really works! Yesterday I was walking for 10 minutes on an incline of 5, 10 minutes on a 10 incline and another 10 on a 15 incline. Yeah that was WAY hard! But it seems to be working so Yeah ME! I am going to go to the body sculpting class tonight and I am really excited!!! Maybe I can double my weight loss goal to 10 lbs by the 8th!

Can 10k steps banish the chub?

Image courtesy http://reginanuzzo.com/?tag=walking

I just went online to Amazon.com and bought a pedometer for James and I. I've been thinking about an idea I heard about a long time ago which says that you should try to get 10,000 steps in each day. According to The Walking Site, the average person gets only 1,000-3,000 a day in. Yikes!

It is estimated that 10,000 steps is roughly 5 miles per day. That's a lot of walking! Let's face it, to go from 1,000 or so to 10,000 is a bit of a stretch. But, going from 1,000 to 3,000 in a week and increasing it by 1,000 each week to build up to 10,000 is totally doable. So who's with me?

First, if you don't have a pedometer yet, get one. Here is an article about how to buy pedometers and some of the best out there. The one I bought is the Omron HJ-112 Pedometer and I got it for $30 each with free shipping from Amazon.com. I ordered mine today and hopefully it will be here so I can get started next week. 

I am throwing down a challenge here on the Chubby Girls Diary. Do you think you can get to 10k steps? How much weight do you think you'd lose doing it? Want to win a free prize for getting healthy? Here are the details:

10k steps to banish the chub will begin on July 12 - two weeks from today. If you'd like to get in on the challenge, leave a comment along with your e-mail address on the blog between now and then. The criteria for the contest is simple - if you make it to 10k steps (and take a picture of your pedometer to prove it) before the end of August, you will be entered into a drawing to win a $25 gift card to Amazon.com. 

We will also be tracking your weight loss percentage, so the more weight you lose, the better chance you have to win. The winner of the weight loss challenge will win the new cookbook "Weight Watchers In 20 Minutes". Even if you're not doing Weight Watchers, they have excellent recipes that are really good!

Tonya and I will posting updates about the contest but we'd love to hear your stories so be sure to leave comments. Once you sign up for the program, I will e-mail you the specifics along with a form to e-mail back that will list your current weight. If you're feeling brave, I highly recommend putting your weight on the blog. It's embarrassing I know, believe me. But there's something cathartic about admitting it to everyone. It's tough to do but take responsibility is a great place to start changing your lifestyle. 

We will publish a list of the competitors with some basic stats (weight if you're feeling especially brave). We also want a picture of you to put on the post so we can see the progress.

Are you ready to see if you can make it to 10k steps in a single day? At the end of the day there are no losers in this contest if you can get up to 10k steps in one day. You will be healthier, happier and will have accomplished something that most people don't do on a daily basis. 

Tell your friends about the contest, the more the merrier! It's completely free and its going to be a blast!

10 years ago . . .

I weighed 100 lbs less. Yes, you read that right. I have gained at last 100 lbs since I graduated. Sad, but disgustingly true. Alex brought this picture back from our shed as an inspiration for my weight loss, and I think it is doing the trick. Damn I was one hot skinny bitch!


So here is to the next 10 years. Let's hope it does not bring another 100 lbs but it will take it away!

Skinny Summer Refreshment

Summertime and fruity drinks go together like a dessert bar and a fat girl. James and I found the most delicious drink at Coldstone of all places and no, it doesn't have ice cream in it. Its a dreamy blend of orange juice, pineapple, lemon juice, sugar and ice. Blended together its the perfect way to relax by the pool with a good book. It's healthy and oh-so good.

Here is the nitty gritty on the nutrition:

Calories – 122.3; Total fat – 0; Sodium – 7.3 mg; Potassium – 289.9 mg; Carbohydrates – 31.6 g; Fiber – 1.2 g; Sugar – 25.6 g; Vitamin C – 99.8%

Citrus Dream Smoothie

Makes 3 servings

1 cup calcium enriched orange juice

1 cup canned pineapple chunks

2 Tbsp. sugar

1 Tbsp. lemon juice

2 cups ice

Combine the orange juice and the pineapple in the blender and mix until the pineapple is smooth. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth.

2 weeks later . . .

Tonya here. To say I have been a slacker the past 2 weeks would be a complete understatement. I got on the scale for the first time in those two week as well and I am happy to say I have maintained that 248 lb mark. No weight loss is bummer, but I am happy I didn't gain any. I set a new goal to lose 5 lbs in 2 weeks. So by July 8th I need to be down to 243! I can do it!

I have been to the gym MAYBE 3 times in the past two weeks and I felt awful. UGGG. I went yesterday and today I am feeling great. I don't know why it is so hard for me to get to the gym, especially since I feel so good after! Paige and I are getting to head there right now! See you all tomorrow!

P.S. I am so proud of you PA! Love you girl!

Feeling renewed and poll results

I talked with my good friend PA last night and she was telling me how she was feeling inspired from reading the blog and made an appointment with a trainer. I am so excited! I am looking forward to getting back on track with my trainer and getting over these icky allergies. It's been a long week of eating badly, feeling snotty and coughing. I miss going to the gym. James has been sick too and I know he's really missed the gym too. Did I just say that out loud?

PA and I have been friends for years. She and I are like kindred spirits and get along great. We are talking about going on a cruise next spring and we both decided we have to get some weight off before we go!

I was telling her how my goal weight is 200 and she asked me "don't you want to shoot for 199 to be in the 100s?" At first I said no, the goal is 200 - no more, no less. But then I thought about it and realized that although its basically the same weight, its the idea you are in the 100s. So my new goal is 199. Anyone want to join the 199 club? Sounds like the dollar store, huh?

PA is going to be doing some guest blogging about her struggles on here and we are excited to have her.

Big thanks to everyone who voted in the poll this week, which was "What is your favorite diet snack". The overwhelming winner at 45 percent was low-fat ice cream with fruit and veggies coming in second with 27 percent. New poll will be up today, any suggestions for it in the future?

Skinny Lemon Poppy Seed Cupcakes

No, your eyes aren't deceiving you - I was finally successful in taking a full fat recipe and making some modifications to make it a little healthier! Yay! 

It's Father's Day and nothing says I love dad like cake. James wanted brownies for his dessert today but I felt the urge to bake. I found this gorgeous cake on a new blog and modified it slightly to come up with these fantastic cupcakes!

You know how I love the Greek yogurt but I was a little worried about using it in this recipe. When these cupcakes came out, they smelled heavenly! The icing is literally the icing on the cake because it just adds to the lemony goodness of the cake. It's pretty amazing. The consensus at the Father's Day dinner tonight was that these little gems were a hit, not just for the taste but for the guilt free factor as well.

Skinny Lemon Poppy Seed Cupcakes

(Adapted from Lemon Poppy Seed Cake)

Batter

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 stick butter, softened

2-3 lemons, juiced and zested
2 ¾ cups granulated sugar

1 ½ tsp. lemon extract
6 large eggs
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/3 cup poppy seeds

1/3 cup raw sugar

Lemon Syrup

¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
¼ cup granulated sugar

Lemon Cream Cheese Icing

½ brick cream cheese

1-2 TBSP. milk

½ - ¾ cup powdered sugar

1 lemon, juiced and zested

Mix the ingredients for the Lemon syrup; set aside for 10-15 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Sift together the white flour, baking soda, and salt. In a food processor or blender, combine the sugar and the zest from the lemons and blend until combined.

Cream the butter in the large bowl of a standing electric mixer on moderate speed until creamy. Add the applesauce and sugar and mix until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix until they are completely combined. Add in the extract and the yogurt. Be sure to scrape down the bowl to make sure everything gets mixed properly. Slowly add in the sifted mixture in and then the wheat flour. After completely combined, add the poppy seeds until mixed, but be careful not to over mix.

Line a cupcake pan with cupcake wrappers and fill them ¾ of the way full with the batter. Sprinkle the raw sugar liberally on the top before baking for 10-12 minutes – until a toothpick comes clean.

When they come out of the oven, use the toothpick and poke lots of holes in the top of the cupcakes. Liberally brush the lemon syrup over the top, using all of it and allow the cupcakes to cool completely.

Mix the cream cheese until is fluffy and mostly free of lumps. Add the lemon juice, powdered sugar and zest and mix until combined and smooth. Use the milk to thin the frosting to the desired consistency. (Depending on how sweet you like it, you might want to add more powdered sugar).
 I did a calorie comparison and I was surprised how much of a difference adding applesauce in place of the butter made. This doesn't take into account the icing though, so be aware of that.
