Week 9

Weighed in this morning at 134. I'm ok with that number. I think I could have done much better. I could have made a healthier choice while eating out at Winger's, I could have drank more water, I could have worked out more than 10 minutes this past week. For not eating the greatest and not really working out at all, I think that number is good. However, I know I can do better. I'm struggling with making myself get in a workouts and I really need to step up my game. I am still loosing at a steady weight and I think I've gotten too comfortable with that. I think I need to set a goal to loose 5 pounds this week...just to kick my butt into gear and get things moving a little faster. I have a little over 4 weeks until my sisters wedding and I'd really love to reach my goal by then, but ultimately my goal is 125 by september 27th. Once I reach my goal I REALLY want to just focus on maintaining my weight, but toning things up. So this weeks challenge for me is going to see if I can loose 5 pounds. I'll have to be sticked on what I eat and get some workouts in if I'm going to come close to that.

Week 8

So I woke up Friday morning at the scale said 136.2! That put me at loosing a little more than 20 pounds! So I decided to celebrate and have a cheat day Saturday. It was great, but it turned into more of a splurge weekend...oops! Then Monday we had a family emergency and I took in 4 of my nephews, giving me 7 kids! I have been eating what they eat and have had ZERO time to work out. I feel like I have gained 5 pounds. I was so nervous to get on the scale this morning, but to my surprise it said 136.4. So, I have gone down, since last weeks weigh in, but have gained a few ounces since Friday. Over all, I think, given my circumstances...I did pretty good! Hoping to get back in the swing of things soon, but I still have my nephews and will be helping out with them, so who knows how this next week will go. Goal is to maintain my weight and drink more water!

Week 7

This morning I weighed in at 137.8. I've almost reached my 20 pound mark...hoping that will come next week. If I want to reach that goal by next week I'm going to have to start working out. I really haven't worked out at all and most weeks I would only go walking 3 times. I'm starting to slow down and the weight loss and will need a boost if I'm going to reach 125 by the end of September. Once I reach 135 I know it's going to be even tougher...it's always easiest to get rid of the first 10 and hardest to get rid of those last 10 that want to stick around. So my goal this week is to WORK OUT and get to 136 or 135 by next week.

Week 6

So, I have been weighing myself every day or two at the most. I decided that this last week I would wait all week to see the loss. I don't think that was the best idea. In the past weeks if I saw I wasn't loosing I would kick my butt harder or eat a lot better. Not knowing was hard. I weighed in yesterday morning at 139 lbs. That's not bad, but it's not my best. I could have done better and think I'm going to keep weighing myself frequently. My discovery this week is Chick-Fil-A's Chargrilled Chicken Sandwich...YUM!

Week 5

I'm going to keep this short and sweet. Weighed in this morning at 140.4. I never thought it would be so easy to say no to sweets. I was the type that would snack because I was bored and I would go searching for chocolate and then eat it ALL. I haven't really craved it...I think that's amazing cuz I never knew I could give that up so easily. And my new favorite drink is Crystal Light Energy! It has 10 calories, compared to diet soda that has none, but it's a much healthier choice in my opinion. It has caffeine in it too, which helps with my headaches. What is your favorite drink of choice?

Week 4

Not to happy to report this week. This weekend was a lot of fun and the food was Delicious...good for my soul delicious. But with that came sacrifice :( I weighed in at 144.8 this morning. I could have done better, but that just means that I'm going to have to work extra hard this coming week. I'm ready for the challenge and ready to get back on track!

Next Week

I can already tell that next weeks weigh in isn't going to be so good. I have family in town and we have lots of parties planned. There is going to be lots of food to tempt me and I'm already feeling like giving in. My goal this week to not gain any weight. Hopefully I'll still lose a little, but I'm not going to beat myself up over it this week. I'm going to enjoy my weekend with my family and if I have to kick my butt later for it, then so be it. Happy 4th of July everyone!
