Losing Amber - A Weight Loss Journal

I'm a 28 year old Mommy to two boys. I recently had my 2nd baby November 2006 and now I'm ready to battle the pounds and reach my goals. I plan to use this journal to post my successes and moans on the battle to a happier, healthy body.

A few things to try

There are a few things, ideas I really want to give a shot too. I'm working on reading Bob Greene's Total Body Makeover. I'll post more of my ideas from there when I have more time. I like how he makes you think about your emotional reasons as to why you haven't lost the weight. A lot of stuff he wrote in there rang true to me. One of which was I need to make sure I'm being honest with myself.

I've been working to keep a journal for food but it gets a little out of hand once I get home, same with on the weekends.

I'm also trying to drink Green tea daily, not the processed stuff but the regular ol' tea bags and a bit of honey. Supposedly some people have lost weight without trying when they drank it daily. I'm not holding stock in that but its worth a shot at least.

I want to find my pedometer and start wearing it again, really make an effort to get in extra exercise. Park farther out and walk farther. I take the stairs at work but continue to do that when I go other places.

I cleaned out a lot of old jeans this past weekend. It sucks, I figure I can use this for motivation in a way. I did keep a few of my favorite items. BUT if I loose the weight then I have to get new clothes LOL! I realized the last time I jumped sizes was when I moved to where I am not and started driving an hour each way instead of 20 min. I guess those extra minutes in the car really do add up. I do like my job but I'll be SO glad when I can give up that commute....its been 5 years now : /
