Failing at Loseing weight

Today, Im having a complex. One of my new years resolution was to get back in shape and work out. Kris and I started working out last May and it was good for awhile, we were losing weight and then the FAIR came and it went downhill from there. Both of us are SLIGHTLY unhappy with our weight but its more of I want to do this for myself thing. My family and hers are the type to point out everything "oh your putting on weight" me:"good to see you to mom". I started gaining weight when my sister passed away I was so sad and depressed and eating was my comfort. As long as I was eating I wasnt thinking about how Ill never see my sister again or hear her voice. Last year is when I noticed my clothes didnt fit and I wasnt happy when I looked in the mirror. So Kris wanting to lose weight also suggest we diet and workout everyday, and it sucked real bad at first I felt like I was dying. We went to the lake and walked and I did the workouts they made us do in gym class and we started losing weight and it started to become fun. We would laugh and before we knew it we were running 4 miles and Kris would make me feel like I ran a marathon. So far my resolution is going ok. I worked out for 20 minutes yesterday and 30 minutes today. Ill gradually get back into it concidering I have a bad knee. Kris well has done nothing. Im hopeing that by spring I will have lost some weight but we will see. Im determined and can do anything I put my mind to but I like everyone else likes food, and Valentines is comming up and its our tradition to get the heart shaped champagne cake. Everyone in my family is on the bigger side so Im concerned this is how Im suppose to be not that theres anything wrong with it but I like myself personally better when Im smaller. Kris insists on keeping junk food in the house which doesnt help either but she claims Im grouchy if all Ive had all day was a salad. Fruit and healthy food is so expensive and being the state Im in its not like fresh fruit is here year around but I can see why people go for the junk food just to feed two people on healthy food is around 100 bucks and we could get junk food meals that leave left overs and everything for cheaper. As soon as I start losing weight again it will motivate me before like the last time but until then Im not motivated for this at all. I can see why its hard to lose weight its easier to just set there but in the long run it will make it harder for you. A little motivation can push you a long way!

  1. I understand the Healthy kick for sure. Trevor and I have wanted to try and kickstart the new year off right but so far we haven't done well. I'm hoping next week we can start fresh.

    Frozen fruit is awesome for smoothies. It's fairly inexpensive and gives you a ton of nutrients. All you need is milk & ice (depending on recipes).

    If you want to be calorie concious on a budget I'd try sparkrecipes.com we have used them before. You can watch your calorie intake and sodium intake. Portion control was Trevor's problem and he's lost 30lbs and maintained it. Not so bad for just watching portions, not money.
