Busy Week!

Whew, I have been really busy this week. My hubby's bday was Wednesday and I have been running all week. I took a couple of days off of work to spend with him and I am paying for it. I have kept up with my exercise, but did not make the best food choices this week. I recognize that and I am moving on from it.

Well I am exhausted until next time.

Second WI

I was down another .4 at weigh in this week. I am happy with that. I am happy with anything the scale says, only because it is not my main focus anymore.

I can fit into XL shirts and I can't fit size 24's anymore, that is progress. I am on my way to my summer goal. My goal for the summer is to be in a size 18 by Labor Day and I am pushing for that.

Had a awesome meeting. The leader talked about roadblocks and distractions and such. It really got me to thinking about my eating habits in the evening. I am going to have to get better control of them. A lady made lifetime today and brought in her before picture, I was amazed and inspired at the same time. She was roughly my size and she is like a size 8 now. She looks like a complete different person. I am soo looking forward to that.

Well off to finish dinner (chops and green beans) and to workout.

Pushing Myself!

Well I have been doing good exercise wise, not so good with the food. I have been pushing myself. I realize that I try and hold back, so this week I am not taking my second water aerobis class and I am going to hit the treadmill. I need a better workout and this will do it. I actually did something called the 10 10 10 workout last night. I liked it. It really pushed me. My abs were screaming and shaking (lol). My body is probably like what is she doing to me.

I am going to try and do better on the food. I have 3 days until weigh in. I had a compliment yesterday. One of co-workers told me that "The working out is really paying off". In my mind I was like "yeah" that is what I am talking about. It feels so good to finally see a payoff on this.

It has a been a long journey and I am not even halfway there. I have a long way to go, but I will get there. I am not stopping until I get there and even then I will always be on WW. I will always attend meetings ( I just won't have to pay). That itself is pushing me. $39.95 is not breaking the bank, but to not have to pay it. I can't wait.

1st June WI!

I lost. Yes I lost. I lost 1.6 pounds! Yaa for me. It seems if I take my focus off the scale and onto exercise and staying OP the weight comes off. I was really good yesterday. Matter of fact I was good all week. I have a plan with my exercise and with my eating plan and its going to be alright.

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.

Stef

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.

Stef

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.
