Before After

Tuesday is a good day

I set my mind to it and did it... After I got the kids off to school, I ate oatmeal and did 3 miles on my treadmil... I also planned my meals and snacks for today and wrote everything down. I have wanted to lose weight for a long time and have tried but couldnt stick with it, using lifes stress as an excuss. I feel like something clicked... whatever it is, I am excited to see what I look like come Summer....
 
Hope you all are having a great week...

Planning for this week

Well, Its Monday and I wanted to start my new life change by planning my meals ahead of time. So I made homemade chicken enchalada with black beans... I cant believe how hard it is to count the calories and measure things Vs. throwing it all together.
I also started sparkpeople.... Great site and they also have challenges to give me that little push I need. I am going to do my exercise in a few mins but I think Im going to start doing it in the morning to not only put it behind me but by the afternoon I dont have the ummf....
I look at my self in the mirrior and I get so discouraged cause I have sooo much to lose.... I think Im removing all the mirrors so I dont get depressed and turn to chocolate...
 

New Years Eve....

It's soon going to be 2011... Wow, where does time go? This year has gone by so fast. We had snow last night and its only 6 degrees so the family and I decided to put a log on the fire and watch a movie. Its hard not to bake on days like this...
 
 
I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and please be safe out there.
 
2011 is going to be a great year... I could feel it.

Here I am

Well, I havent been here in a whole year.... I didnt lose any weight, I gained 9 pounds and I am not where I wanted to be as of today. With all of life stress's and me feeling sorry for myself I am exactly where I was last year plus 9 pounds more.
I have to say that I have learned that life goes on... fat or skinny, that I will have stress... fat or skinny and that I can be happy..... fat or skinny and I WANT TO BE SKINNY...
So, Here I am once again... but this time I have a new attitude...  and this time I am going to use extrapounds website for what it was meant to be used for....support. I cant do this alone and I look forward to doing this journey with all my extrapound friends....
