Skinny Vibes

Today I need skinny Vibes!! I have been OP for 2 whole months now!! WOW. my weightloss is slowing down, but it is only because I have been slowing down. As the semester is ending I am busier and busier and I have all but quit exercising (I did however, hop on the treadmill last night for 40 minutes!!!)

With the holidays around the corner I dont want t o give up! I want to work even harder so that I dont gain!

Dear 10% goal,

where are you?? I know I will see you when I lose 2.8 more pounds but I wish you could visit me today at my ww meeting!!! I know that you will not be there today, however, maybe half of you will show up and make it a lot easier to be graced with your lovely prescence next week at weigh in!

ok I haven't totally lost my mind but bare with me-I have a ton of school work going on, its a Monday and my email buddy is out snoozing after a wonderful weekend (I'm sure)

Wake me up when this semester ends

SERIOUSLY-i am depressed and freaking out. I have to hang in there, I am so close to being done. why is it so hard?

and why does my treadmill seem like a big ugly monster?

I have lost 13.2 pounds since Septermber 11  Only 2.8 pounds away from 10 %. But I want more......ahhh the story of my life. My ww leader was very inspiring tonight but as soon as I walked out of the door I was right back into my funk. I am very proud of my progress and I will NOT GIVE UP! I just need a little more time for me. any ideas to help me dig my way outta this hell hole?

22 days till Thanksgiving!!

ahhhh!!! How will I ever make it through Thanksgiving without dying of over eating????

I have worked to hard to let myself go for some crappy turkey.

I am only 3.8 pounds away to making it to 10% and surely I can do that in 22 days...right???

I really like this time of year. I have Josh's birthday, Thanksgiving, the end of the semester, Christmas, and then for New Years (my fav) I will be at a Black Jack table with my man and 20-25 pounds less of myself

Just a couple of hard weeks, and then a little time off.

Gymnastics tonight!!! I Can't wait!!!

Now what?

I had been looking forward to last weekend for such a long time. It was TONS of fun, but now its over and I am kind of thinking...now what? WELL, now I have to buckle down and shed off 5 pounds before Thanksgiving to meet my 10% goal. Whew, its going to be tough, buckle up body...we are going for a ride!!

Our dance lessons started last night and it was a blast! I am really excited about the new ways I have found to enjoy moving more and eating less (Thats my secret-I'll sell it to you for $9.99!)

Now more than ever I must continue to concentrate and get this done!! Yes there will be obstacles, and I just like everybody else will have bad days-but quiting isn't an option.

This is your daily dose of Haley reminding you to wipe your past clean now and start fresh! Every meal can be the one that breaks you, or gets you back on track-so use the next one to get back on track!!!

Ready for the weekend

It is only Tuesday and I am already for the weekend again! But this is no ordinary weekend, this is Halloween and I promised myself  If I lost 10 pounds by this weekend I would get a little costume and celebrate! the weigh in was yesterday and I weighed in at 154.5!!!!! I haven't weighed under 155 in a year and a half probably, maybe even more. Only 5 pounds away to reaching my 10%.  Being 11 pounds lighter feels so GREAT!

My adult's gymnastics class starts tomorrow and my dance lessons start on Sunday. I have no idea how I am going to get all of my school work in but I'll manage. I hope this moving around more helps me lose a few more pounds.

so heres to Thanksgiving, hopefully when it gets here I will enjoy the holiday at my 10% goal.

Thanks Laura for going through this with me

October 20th?!? whaaatttt???

I would like to know just how in the world is it October 20th already??? where does the time go? How can time be flying by if I am not having fun???

This year when I ring the New Year in I wont be vowing to try yet again to lose weight-but this time I will be vowing to stay committed to my journey!

I plan on cleaning out my closet this weekend and getting all the clothes that I cannot fit into ready to wear, because I am going to wear them!!

I have been a hard worker and fighter at everything in my entire life so I have to be able to do this. This weekend shouldn't be too hard, but next weekend will be rough. I promised myself if I lost 10 pounds by halloween i would go out and really celebrate with my friends. I refuse to let my hard work go down the drain.

anywoo I hhope everyone has a wonderful weekend and I hope I am able to befriend my treadmill again and again and again because weigh in on Monday needs to be another success!!!

And I'm back in the game!!!

On September 11, 2006 I hit rock bottom (again) I walked in ashamed and afraid weighing in at 165.6 pounds

something within me took over and I cannot explain it-but I absolutely love it! Just 5 weeks later and I am weighing in at 156.4 and for those of you that are mathmateically challenged like myself, thats a total loss of 9.2 pounds!!!

I am very proud of myself, but I know I am on a journey that sucks, and its going to get harder and harder but I'm pretty thirsty-so bring on the rain!

I want to reach 10% goal by Christmas and hopefully be 145 by New Years. If I don't meet my goals I hope I stay in the game. My next official weigh in will be on Monday where I need a minimum weight loss of .8 to get to 10 pounds. My clothes are getting too big, and older pants I havent worn in over a year are almost fitting. I can do this!!!

and you can too. feel free to join me as I knock out these thunder thighs, chubby cheeks, and buns of jello!!!!

Chubby Cheeks

I promised my trainer last week that I wouldnt weigh myself for 3 weeks, and honestly I had to hide my scale bc I am obsessed with knowing. So no official weight loss count for another 2 weeks. However, I think that with the way I have drastically changed my eating and drinking habits that my face would start slimming up a little, but I havent noticed it yet.

I wonder how long I can keep this up. I feel like I am playing the chubby bunny game with these puffy cheeks. I keep waiting for someones grandma to grab my cheeks and squeeze them.

I hope i can hang in there for 2 more weeks. I need positive reinforcement  i.e. pounds melting away, cheeks tightening up. hehe.

tonight I have 20 minutes of cardio and an hour of pilates. lucky me huh.

Ouchie Ouchie

First of all I haven't always been chubby. In fact just 4 years ago, I struggled to put weight on. That is not the case now. I haven't seen 130's in 3 years and 140's in 2 years UNTILL NOW. I am lucky that I hit rock bottom at 161 and said no more chubby Haley! My long term goal is to weigh 135, have much smaller boobs, ohhhh and long hair (thats the easy goal)

I am so sore today from working out with my personal trainer last night, but I MUST continue. My goal is to do 20 min. of cardio a day. anyone want to join me? I am not working out with the trainer agin until next Tuesday but he promises by my 25th Bday-that I can have a BBQ and the best bikinni body at the party so we will see.
