A gain. Hey I'll take it!

Went to WI this morning was up .2, and I will take it. Considering how much alcohol I consumed this weekend I was really expecting much more. I guess all the exercise and healthy eating counteracted it. I had a nice time, Friday and I went to a birthday party on Saturday and had a awesome time. Drank a lot (in my standards but I am a light weight), but I never strayed from my healthy eating habits and I exercised all weekend and it was TOM.

I can tell you I was a little disappointed because after I saw it was only.2, I said to myself just think if I didn't drink the alcohol I would have been down for sure, but then I thought hey it will just show up on the scale next week or the next week, but it will show up.

So, I am still in this and I am in it with my eyes wide open. I won't lose this weight overnight, but I will lose it.

One more gone for Good!

I was down another pound at WI yesterday. WooHoo that is one more pound out of my life for good. On a sad note, I am slowly but surely saying goodbye to my boobs. I have went down another cup size (now a C). I am really going to miss them. As you probably know, now my stomach is looking like I am 8 months pregnant.

I am trying everything imaginable to get rid of this thing. I have the whole muffin top thing. It is horrible. Because I am getting smaller in other places, it seems like it is getting bigger and bigger. I know that it will eventually even itself out, but hey I am impatient. I want it gone now.

Well off to the gym tonight for another workout and onward with the 40 day challenge.

Until next time!

Been Away.

Sorry I have been away, but I didn't realize that I hadn't posted in awhile. I have had two WI's, one I lost .8 and this past WI, I gained .4. I have been working out steadily. I was down sick for 3 days and could not exercise, but once I felt better I was right back in it.

My eating has been okay, I could buckle down a little bit more and I am working on that. I am eating my veggies and fruit. I just keep throwing in a bite here and there of the wrong stuff.

So, I am still on this journey and loving it. My body is changing and I loving me some me.

One down 39 to go!

I admit it, I almost welshed on the exercise thing on day one. I left work and for some reason I was beat. I met my best friend for a little shopping, right across the street from the gym, and said forget it, I am going to go home and a do a exercise tape. Thinking in my head I am not feeling it at all.

Well I thought about where I want to be this time next month and the goals I have set for myself (working on losing my next 5%) and I can't do it procrastinating.

So, off to the gym I went. I am so glad I did. I felt so much better afterwards. Yes I am still beat, but its a good tired. A, I did something good for myself tired. A, I know I ate that slice of cheese danish I should not have kinda tired.

With that said, I am off to watch biggest loser and then to bed.

That's What I'm Talking "Bout!

Well, I went to WI this morning...drum roll please...down 6.8 pounds. Wow, I was really amazed. I was basically good just had a order of fries on Saturday, but other than that I have been excellent.

I have decided to do the 40 days of exercise challenge and I am really pumped up about that. I figure, once it is over I will be back walking/jogging outside. I am hoping it makes the rest of the winter go faster and also trim some of this fat off this big ole body.

Until next time..

Just Plain Pooped!

I have been tired all day. Don't know why. I was at work yawning all day. I ate within my points range and I went to go exercise and made it past my ball exercises and got a little light headed. Don't know what's up with that, but I immediately stopped. Maybe it was from all of the up and down on the ball combined with me just being tired. Anyway I just stopped. Rested a minute, got on the floor did some leg lifts and left it at that.

I think all the running around yesterday with the doctors and me upping my weights yesterday might have just pooped me out. Whatever it is I get the message so I am taking my behind to bed and getting a goods night rest, because tomorrow is gym and I am soo looking forward to kicking some gym butt.

I need to eat more veggies!

Well went to a nutritionist today per pushing from my cardiologist. I was kinda down because I have been working out and doing my WW and its working. I was thinking here comes the monkey wrench. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised. She encouraged me to stay on WW. I logged on while I was there and we went over my past food logs and she told me I am just not eating enough veggies and dairy. That was it. She didn't even weigh me. Said to stick to what I was doing and we would meet once a month to go over my food logs and I have to show her my WI book from weight watchers. That was it in a nutshell. So I am going to go the grocery store and stock up on veggies. I am really pumped up now. I have all the pieces in place. Also, I already went to the gym today. But I am not stopping there, I will be going for a walk later on after dinner.

Thanks to all that welcomed me to the Weight Loss Challenge and to anyone that is following my blog.

Getting into the Groove!

Yes, i am finding my Groove. I exercised today also. Yes, I am on my way. The best part, I didn't have to fight myself about it. I set my schedule in my head on my way home and I followed through, and that was that.

I can't wait to see the inches start to melt off of again. Also, bonus I went online and registered for the 5K. So it is official I am doing it. This is making me work even harder, to build up my Stamina. I also ordered the shirt one size smaller then I wear now as extra motivation.

Now off to finish watching The Biggest Loser.

Why do I do this?

Today was a good day. Today could have been a bad day. I came home and once again thought of every excuse not to exercise. Why do I keep doing this? I don't know. I know I have to get this weight off and exercise has to be a part of it. It has to be a part of my life from now on. So, I came on, ate dinner, took a bath and laid in the bed. Then I thought hey what are you doing? Get your behind out of here. This weight will not come off by itself.

So to make a long story short, I got dressed and went to the gym. And I am so glad I did. I feel so much better. Yes, my stomach is sore from doing crunches and my thighs feel like they are on fire, but I did it. I made a promise to my self and to my doctor and I am keeping it.

Talk about Motivation!

Well, I maintained this week. I will take it. It beats a gain. I went to the doctor this past week (Cardiologist) and she really yelled at me. I had gained 4 pounds since my last visit and gained 1 inch on my waist. This after working my ass off to get it to 38. I go back to the doctor in April. She told me I have to have lost 12 pounds by my next visit and get that inch back off my waist.

I admit I was pissed. I sat and thought how is that possible? Can I really do it? Then I took a look at how long it took me to lose 1 inch off of my waist. It took me 4 weeks to do it. So, I am saying yes its possible. So I am not too much worried about that. I am going to stay more focused on getting as close to 12 pounds as I can.

After telling my best friend my plight, she thought of the brilliant idea of making it a challenge. I thought, she is the best. Her goal to get under 200. So here goes and wish us both good luck.
