Trainer Day!

Met with the trainer for this first time today. She is awesome. Not too pushy and gave me a lot of kudos on what I have accomplished so far. It was just what I needed. My hubby is still not happy with my decision to get the weight off and it is being hard just being around him. He makes a comment about it on a daily basis now. At first I thought he was joking, but I see that he is not. I really think it comes from him being insecure. But not my problem, its his. I don't think he realizes that he really is pushing me. When he gets on his soapbox, I leave and go to the gym or go walking and that is just bringing me closer to my goal.

Back to my trainer, did I say she was awesome. She said I need to workout 5 days a week. I will do water aerobics for two days and the other three I will do cardio and abdominal exercises. She put me on the machine and it kicked my butt. I have to do 3 sets of twelve. I did it and I now feel it. I have to that every other day.

I am so excited now. She told me not to be discouraged about the scale, focus on my body and how that looks and that is what I am going to do.

Well weigh in is tomorrow and I am not nervous or anything. I might be down, I might be up, but I will be okay with either one. I know that I am following the program and I am exercising and I am wearing smaller clothes and overall that will keep me motivated.

Another Day!

Well here we are 3 days into the month and I can tell you, I was really getting fustrated. They have canceled my water aerobics two days in a row. At this point I am supposed to be at 110 minutes of excercise instead of just 60. I was really ready to throw in the towel on trying to get in 45 minutes today and I said "Stef" what are you doing? This is not you. You have come so far. So I went to exercise on demand and did a 3 mile brisk walk and I feel so much better now.

I guess when they I hear people saying how hard it is to keep the weight off, I understand. I have at least 70 more pounds to goal and I am already having self induced setbacks. I realize I have to be stronger, I have to reach my goal.

At Least I tried!

First of all I missed Sunday's WI. Just couldn't get it together. That is all I am going to say on the subject. Well I had this brillant idea to try Beginner's Step Aerobics. Well it kicked my ass. I only last roughly 15-20 minutes. Come to find out it wasn't even Beginners at all. It was intermediate. I will not be meeting my goal of loosing whatever it was this month, but I am not beating myself up about it.

I have set my goals for June already and I am focused, focused, focused. I am meeting with a trainer at the "Y" to start a 12 week fitness program. I want to make sure I am doing the right things to get to me to my goal. My ultimate goal for the summer is to leave women's clothing behind and get into ladies.

My goals for June are:

exercise more
drink more water
lose 1 inch off my waist
lose 1 inch off my thighs

I am not setting any weight loss related goals. Because of my meds I am leaving that one alone.

Third May WI!

I lost another pound at Sunday's weigh in. I have to lose another 3.40 to lose the 5 pounds I wanted to lose this month. I have two weeks to get it done and I am pushing myself. I have joined a couple of weight loss groups in the WW website to help me along this journey and it has really helped.

Here is hoping I meet my goal.

Until next week.

Second May WI!

I am down another .6 this week. Overall I am quite happy with that. I am noticing other changes outside the scale and that's keeping me going. Our leader told us today our homework was to come up with a goal for this summer and have it ready to share next week. My goal for the summer is to get into a size 18 comfortably. I know that is a big goal, but they say you lose a dress size for every 10-15 pounds you lose so this is a good goal for me. So I have from know until Labor Day to get there. My anniversay date with WW is October 6th by the way. So here goes.

First May Weigh In.

Well I weighed in this morning and I was up .2, so basically I maintained. I am happy with that. My girlfriend showed up Thursday so I knew it was going to show up on the scale. I did exercise more last week and I pushed myself.

Until next week.

Last weight and Last Post!

I have changed my weigh in day to Sunday. Me and Saturday morning was not getting along. At my last WI I was done another .6. This has been the month from hell. I am so looking forward to May. I was not in the best health at all this month and it took a toll on my weight loss.

I have to listen to my body and my doctor. My focus should be on me per say and not the weight loss. If I am too tired to walk then I have to listen to my body and not do it. It is hard because I have gotten used to doing some form of exercise almost everyday.

Well here goes a better May, and Daniel, I promise to post something at least once a week. Most likely it will be on Sunday after WI.

I will also post a pic on June 1.

Halfway Point!

Well I did not make it to weigh in Saturday. I did not get up in time. I really need to get there this Saturday. I am honestly say I am starting to feel much better since last week. I have stayed OP all this week and I am back walking. Not briskly just moderately.

Well here goes for the rest of the month.

Stef

Home Sick!

Well I have been home sick for a couple of days and I am getting really worried about Saturday's WI. I know that is the last thing that I should be worried about, but I am. I have been told no exercise for a while. I can walk just not briskly. So I guess starting tommorrow I will be a walking sensation. I just do not want to gain any of the weight back. I have come so far. I think I will be okay as long as I maintain. So I figure if I walk everday and only eat my dailies and no flexies I should maintain until I am able to start back really exercising.

First April WI

Well I am down another .4 and I am extremly pleased. It is that time of the month and I am really bloated. I am on a journey to acheive a healthy lifestyle, lose 100 pounds and wear a size 10/12. I will not stop until all of these goals are acheived. This blog and all the support I have really help me to stay focused and on track.

I have started back walking outside which I love. I believe between the resistance training and walking I will acheive all my goals.
