Before After

I'm back...

It's been a VERY long time since I've been on here. My weight has jumped back up...but that's because I just had my first baby, a son, 3.5 weeks ago. I topped out at almost 180 by the time I delivered...yikes!

My goal is to reach 150 by the time I return to work, which is sometime in late March. And by the end of the summer, I'd like to be to 135.

I want to be a great, healthy mommy! Pics will come once there is time!

Punished by Points

The really bad thing about Weight Watchers is the more you lose...the less you can eat. It feels like some kind of sick punishment. "You lost weight this week, great! Wait, you need to retake your points quiz." And then they deliver the bad news that you get to eat even less from now on.

The good news, is even when I have a bad day and try and eat bad, I can't eat that much. I'll get a cheeseburger and I get halfway through and I'm so stuffed I might puke. That's a far cry from when I started this, I could eat a big mac, large fries and an entire regular soda and feel content. I eat a lot of those Smart Ones meals, and they actualy fill me up now. When I first started, I was like okay, I want 5 more servings.

I still can't get motivated to work out. It's keeping me from looking the way I want to. Imagine if I didn't sit behind a desk all day, how nice my body might look. Hmm...career change?

Le sigh

I am trying so hard to be good with this diet but my willpower is slowy creeping downward. I just want to eat what I want when I want it! Do people really go through life constantly worried about how many calories they consume and feel good about it?

I'm doing weight watchers to lose weight before my wedding which is over 3 months away. It is working. But the only reason it is working is because I have a goal date. And then I'm eating a ton my wedding day and honeymoon. But I don't want to put back on all the weight either. Why do I love to eat so much? Why can't this be a lifestyle change I want to stick to?

I haven't really started working out either, yet I have almost lost 20 pounds. So I know if I started working out, I could look great and be in shape. But I despise working out. Hate it. Where is my motivation? Come on self, get on it!

 

For once in my life!

For once...I have actually had the willpower and motivation and have stuck to a diet. It's been almost a month, I started WW on 9/12, and I have lost 13 pouds so far! This is amazing to me. I have no willpower. I love to eat, and I love to eat out at restaurants. I love anything that is bad for me. Fast food is a constant craving for me. The past month I have had to actually tellmyself to drive by McDonalds. I have even stopped and gotten a meal for my fiance and gone home and eaten my own healthier food. I am amazing myself. I'm not trying to brag or toot my own horn, I just want everyon to know that if I can do it...you can do it. I totally recommend Weight Watchers to anyone. Im just doing it online, I dont even go to meetings. I log my food in daily and keep track of points. You can still eat what you like, you just have to plan ahead and save points and keep an eye on portions. Wow, I'm super thrilled at this weeks weigh in. Does anyone else out there love this diet too? Any tips or good low point foods?

Long time, no post

Well lets just say the summer was not full of shedding pounds. I don't know if I can lose enough weight to make a difference before the wedding but I am dead set on trying now. This month I have decided to try a few new things.

I'm signed up to take a child care class which is something that really interests me outside of my current career, a local magazine.

I have been on weight watchers and so far have lost a little weight. when I started ww just last week, I was back up to 162 and right now I am at 156. This is a trend I like!

So hopefully this isn't just another post and 3 months later I'm whining about needing and wanting to try losing weight again!

 

Sigh

So I haven't been concentrating on my health as much as I should be...the result, no weight loss. I've been trying not to over indulge, so I haven't gained any, but it's not okay.

This is not a weight I want to stay at.

I really, really love eating. And I hate working out, so it's a deadly combination. When I sacrafice foods I love, I feel like I should see results. And when I don't immediately, I give up. It's funny that even though I know why I do the things I do, I don't stop myself.

It has a lot to do with being lazy with myself. I do a great job at work, put all my heart into my work every day. So when I get home I'm tired and don't work out, even though the voices in my head tell me to. I know I need to allow my home life the same energy and care I do at work.

Today is the end of the bad me, the unhappy, leftovers of myself. I need to treat my body better and in turn maybe my whole life will balance out and take care of itself at work and at home.

Marriage countdown: 9 months.

I'm going to go do something that does not involve eating or sitting still. Enjoy the weekend everyone!

Fell off the wagon

And i have to get back on! I don't wanna give up!

Deadlind weeks at work always get the best of. Not only to I just wanna sleep when I get home, but I eat off the stress. I'm so sad, I didn't mean to mess up like this. The good news is I didn't gain weight, but the bad news is I haven't lost a pound and I haven't really worked out.

Tomorrow is another day I guess!! I need to stop being so lazy and actually MAKE myself do this!

I can't be overweight in 9 months for my own wedding. Not next to size zero bridesmaids!

Slow and steady

The good news is I'm on a downward slope of sorts. The bad news is it is going to take me forever to lose weigjt at this rate. But I guess if I just try to lose a couple of pounds a week it will still be enough time to lose it all. Yesterday was hard because I went out for coffee and didn't even think about my diet. I got a small mocha and I'm sure it had way too much sugar and calories to end the day with. This weekend my friends and I are going shopping for bridesmaid dresses. I still haven't picked colors or styles. But the hardest part of the weekend is not eating bad when we go out to eat. What can I say, I'm a bad food addict! Everyday I feel like I get on here and complain about what I can't eat. Hey- if it allows me to vent and I don't eat bad...I'll keep on doing it

Yawn

I've decided to just weigh myself every other day. Because I like to see results more often than once a week, but every day just fluctuates too much. I'm stressed at work, which doesn't really help my eating habits. I just am so hungry and tired by the time I get home I want to eat everything in sight. Last night Adam just wanted a tub of fried chicken so we got that but I took the skin off. I worked out in the yard some more and I can feel the burn. Its sad that is how out of shape I am. I'm so tired of hating what I see in the mirror. Everyday is a battle to get dressed and out for the day because nothing fits. And because I'm tall, I'm not even cute and chubby, I'm tall and mammoth. Gross. I feel like an Amazon woman. I need some energy.

weighing too often?

Either my scale is messed up (And its a nice one) or my weight varies up and down every single morning by about 2 pounds. I guess that is normal...should I weight myself less often or something?
