Final March Totals!

I am so glad that March is over. I did not meet any of my goals. I actually gained .8 this month. At my final weigh in I lost 1.2 of the 2 pounds I gained this month.

I am taking a breather on the goals for April. I am noticing that I am being hard on myself with this and need to take a step backwords. I know that I am not on a diet this is a lifestyle for me and I need to treat it as such. I don't want to get so caught in beating myself up if I don't meet certain goals.

Yes, I am going to lose this weight. I have not doubt about that, but I have to be realistic and when I see myself stretching myself beyond my limits mentally.

Until Saturday and April's first weigh in.

Comparison!



I can't really see a difference.

30 Pounds Gone Forever!

March 23, WI!

Well lo and behold I gained again. I am up .8. My leader says its because I am not eating enough. I thought I would never hear anybody say that to me in life. She says that by me going back to strength training and not eating all my daily flext points that my body is holding on to everything. It thinks I am starving it.

Until next week and the final WI.

Mistake!

Okay I am only up 1.2 not 1.8, but up all the same. I feel a little better, but I am striving to have a better second half of the month.

Until 3/22.

No Weigh In!

Well no weigh in this week, had a big snow storm here and was basically on lockdown. Hard to get around. We got over a foot of snow. I have made a decision to go back to the gym. It is starting to warm up a lil bit and I am not seeing the same results I saw when I was going on a regular basis.

I am not liking the treadmill anymore and I am really getting lax on exercise. I really need to refocus.

Well here's to getting through this month. Only 3 more weigh ins to go.

New Challenges!

Today at work ( because there is 4 of us on WW) and we all support each other along with our great coach, we have decided to have weekly challenges. This week's challenge starting today is to exercise at least 30 minutes a day.

This should be really easy, but I am so stoked about this new aspect in this journey. This time around I have so much support and I am truly being honest with myself. Of course I have days that I have eaten something I should haven't, but that is just it. It always stops at one day and progresses no further.

Getting back to the challenges, I can't wait to see what lies ahead. I look at it as a way of keeping me on my toes and being held accountable.

Until Saturday,

Final Weigh In!

Okay people (or whomever is reading) I am down another 2.2 pounds. I think I miscalculated on an earlier blog and said I was down 5.8 when I was only down 5.6.

I have only met on goal this month and that is with the weight lost. I lost a total of 8.2 pounds.
Went to my meeting today and had a great time, it was really inspirational. To see people who used to be as big as I am who are now a size 8 or 10 is amazing. You would look at these people and think they never had a weight problem.

My husband has his ups and downs with this. I think he is just scared that somehow I am going to change and be a different person once I reach goal. I have to constantly reassure him, I am and will always be the Stef he fell in love with. He has always been a toucher now he touches me even more and says encouraging things like "when did this curve get here" or "when did this get so smooth" meaning where did the fat role go. So I have a feeling he is liking it more then he lets on.

So here I am welcoming in another month and another set of goals.

On My Way!

Today is my last weigh in. I kinda feel like I haven't lost anymore weight. But whatever the scale tells me I will take it in stride.

Until later with my monthly results.
