Weigh-in, May 30th, 2011

I gained this week. :( 3.8 lbs. :( I'm so sad but it's time to get back on the road to wellness. I am NOT going to make my goal unfortunately but I made a new one. I would like to get to 220 by August. I dont know if I can do it but I am sure going to try. My family is gathering in Denver and I haven't seen my brother and his wife since my dads funeral 6 years ago. On the plus side, I can squeeze my butt into my prepregnancy pants! :) They are tight but I can at least zip them up. It's a start. :) So, to recap, my current weight is 248.2 which means I gained 3.8lb and brings my total loss to 10.6 lb. *sigh*

I am so frustrated!

So Monday morning, I weighed 244.4 and was so excited! Then I stepped on the scale Wednesday and was up to 248, now I am 251. UGH! I am hoping that AF is on the way. I haven't been doing anything differently. No outrageous straying from my meal plan, I've been eating the same things I always do. I'm going to the gym, getting in my workouts and still, I gain. It had better be PMS related. I am really irritable right now so I am guessing that's whats up. It's very discouraging though. :(

Weigh-in, May 23rd, 2011

Yay!!! Down 4.4 lb this week!!! :) I am so excited! :D That brings my total loss since I started up to 14.4lb! I only have a little over 5.4 pounds until I hit my first goal of 239.9! Im not sure I can do that in a week but I am sure going to try!! :)

Tomorrow is weigh-in day....

....and I am strangely excited. I think I had a pretty good loss this week. :) I fell off the wagon a few times but otherwise I have been pretty good. Bring on the scales! :D

I haven't posted lately....

I've been sooooo busy!! I have been eating relatively well but have really had to force myself to take time to eat. I walked 5 miles this morning and am hoping to make it to the gym tomorrow. It will be my first time for the week though which is almost unheard of for me lately. This week we have our good babysitter coming so hopefully I can get into the gym a few times this week. :) I am excited to workout again! :D

Weigh-in, May 16th, 2011

Down one more pound this week to bring my total to 10 pounds lost!! I am glad that I lost but I know I am not going to make my goal of being in the 230's by my birthday. :( BUT, I am still losing and slow and steady wins the race. I am going to continue plugging away at it and eventually get where I want to be. I would have had a better loss this week but weekends are hard for me. We ate at Red Lobster on Saturday and then Sunday we went to DH's nephews confirmation so there was lots of goodies to eat there. I have been getting my daily water in which is HUGE for me. I am also getting better at the evil machine at the gym. Last night I didn't start to struggle until the last 10 of my 50 reps. Major improvement. Last night was a great workout. I dont know if I am going to make it there tonight cause I am completely exhausted but we will see. :)

My Motivation

Well, part of it anyway. My kids deserving a healthy mom is most of it but when I am at the gym and see this in the mirror I am disgusted. I will lose it. I will. I can do it!

I hate this machine....

I will defeat this machine. I plan on using it every trip to the gym. It KILLS my arms but I will win!!!

Weigh-in, May 9th, 2011

Yay! I lost 1.6lb this week!!! :) That brings my total up to 9lb. I am sooooooooooo happy! :) I need to lose 9.9lb over the next 22 days which is do-able but I am going to have to get my hiney in gear! I also measured my gut. My stomach sticks out 4 inches. Seriously? That is disgusting. I remember when I was first pregnant and I kept measuring to see if I was looking pregnant yet..... now I look pregnant all the time and I hate it. I guess I learned a lesson there. :P Anyway, here is my picture for the week and hopefully soon I will be able to update my body pics. :)

Nervous about tomorrow....

I was doing so good this week. As of Thursday, I had lost 3 pounds. Then we went to Omaha. And Mothers day and my diet pretty much went out the window. :( We did a lot of walking in Omaha and I chased the kids a lot today so hopefully that balances things out but I am not hopeful. I just pray that I stayed the same or maybe lost a little bit. I hope I didn't gain. I really want to make my goal of being in the 230's by my birthday..... *sigh*

Weigh-in, May 2nd, 2011

251.4 this week. A loss of .8 for the week and 7.2 total. Since the weigh-in I have been doing really well. No candy, no junky meals and no over eating. I have managed to avoid snacking between meals and have upped my water intake along with going to the gym when I can. Last night I was able to jog for 30 minutes straight which was a huge accomplishment for me. I was soooooooooooo sweaty when I left there but I felt amazing. :D Anyway, here is my pic from the 2nd. :)

A realization.

So, I woke up this morning and looked in the mirror. I hated what I saw. I seriously look like I am pregnant. It is disgusting. I decided that I am going to really buckle down and promised myself that I will be in the 230's by my birthday. That gives me 30 days to lose arould 13 pounds. I can do it. I will do it. Im tired of being fat. My plan is to be more strict about what I eat (I tend to cheat a lot lately) and going to the gym at least 4 times a week. I read and article about how, in order to make the most of your workout, you should do 10 minutes of cardio, 30 minutes of weights and 30 minutes of cardio so, that will be my plan and I'm going to see how it goes. I CAN TOTALLY DO THIS!!!

 

 

Weigh-in, April 25th, 2011

So, I should have posted this awhile ago. I have become lax in my blog posting but I am going to get back on track now. Here is my weight and I lost! YAY! -3.4 for the week and -6.4 total.
