25 lbs down!!!!!!!

I hit 25 lbs lost today!  I'm 1.9 lbs away from my goal of losing 10 %.  I'm totally excited and proud of myself.  I feel like a WINNER!  It is going to charge me on to one day being below 200 lbs and down to a healthy weight.

GO me Go me!!

I'm happy

Hi All!!!!

Its been a long while since I've been on here and thought I would come update my site.  I'm almost to my 10% (3.7 lbs to go) and I have a goal to make it by St. Patrick's Day.

I have really gotten into exercising but the past week and a half I've been plauged with a very bad sinus infection and its all I can do to get up and come to work!  But I think with the weather warming up I am starting to feel myself coming out of it and exercise helps the body to get over infections so I think I'm ok enough to try to exercise tonight! I've missed it to be honest:)

Hope everyone is doing great.  Skinny vibes to all.

so the new year huh?

Happy New Year to all.  Made your resolutions?  I actually did sit down with my journal and write out a few goals to accomplish this year:

1. Get a better job.

2. keep losing weight

3. keep my relationship fresh and vibrant with Chris

4. find a hobby I'm passoniate about.

I kept it at four so I can have an honest go at it.  I hope everyone had a great holiday and JAN is a motivative time for you to keep up all the good work.

howdy dowdy!!

WOW! Work is shit.  so busy can't get on here enough.  ANYWAYS, I've missed being here.  Amie wrote me a nice message the other day (thanks!).

So with the New Year approaching I think I will be back more.  Hopefully getting a laptop soon for my apt so I can do things like this at night.

I've gained over the holidays.  I'm not going to lie I've been off plan.  Skimming by. But its time to get back to it. 

Got this great new PS2 "game" called kinetics.  There is this camera and you are actually on the screen playing virtual games that make you move around and burst bubbles that fall down and follow arrows to music.  Its really cool and I do 40 mins of it the other night without even realizing I was doing it!  Of course its not as challenging a workout as say my Biggest Loser DVD, but its a good low impact workout that's fun when you aren't in the mood to really work out at least it gets you moving!

Everyone have a great New Years and above all be safe.  Crazies always come out that night.

what's that noise?!?

yeah that's what I thought when I woke up this morning to muffled voices after my roommate slammed the door.  The noise was the Wakin' up with Whoppie on the radio under my book i set on top of it last night!  I slept through my alarm!!  It was 7:49am ten mnutes before I was supposed to be at work!

So I got dressed VERY quickly as you could tell by looking at my no makeup no hair fixed Bengals sweatshirt look today.

BUT i did take time to weigh myself and I lost 1.6 lbs!!!  If I keep losing 2 lbs for the next 3 wks I will be at my goal and I'm so excited..... and the next three weeks are my birthday christmas and new years!  Talk about a challenge!

But I'm staying with my exercise and it is really helping me lose.  Yay me.  

a month later...

I've been up I've been down I've been heavier I've been thinner.....BUT I'M WORKING OUT REGULARLY!  Thanksgiving nearly ended me.,....not really I just gained 4 lbs over that weekend.  exercised and am taking it off.  I'm ok but now its: my birthday on monday, christmas, new years, my sisters birthday...blah blah ain't it always something?!?

So work has been kicking my behind but its good cuz busy hands aren't in the candy jar. LOL I feel as if I'm starving now.  But I'm not.  Just ready for dinner. 

Oh and I'M WORKING OUT REGULARLY ! I'm doing the Biggest Loser DVD and I really can stick with it.  I'd really just do anything Bob says is really what it is.  he's hott people!!!  It is seriously helping one of my most troubled areas:::MY LEGS.  Lots of lunges and squats and its really great.  jeans fit better and the like....good stuff.

fun times

Hello!!!!

DBF cooked me dinner last night.  very yummy.  We had grilled chicken and rice with his "special seasoning mix". He is a really good cook and he always makes sure its in my points for the day.  I really appreciate his support.

And he surprised me with another CD yesterday.  Janet jackson's 20 y.o.  He better stop that or he will have nothing left to buy me for my birthday or Christmas:) then he'll be all "whadda ya want?" and I'll be all "you've given me everything and more already!"

So I had to turn down my mom's dinner offer this morning.  I feel really bad. She called me b/c she was going to have lasana and I just can't eat it tonight b/c I have weigh in tomorrow morning.  I know I can eat don't get me wrong but this is full fat marie calender stuff and I could only eat a small pc.  I feel bad though b/c she thought about me and I really wanted to try it but they always have family dinner on Thursday nights and I usually have to bring my own food and watch them eat good stuff my mom cooks.  Its about the family not the food. family not food. family yes food no. ugh!

Weigh in tomorrow. 

I've been sick!

Yeah it got me.  That lovely stomach virus that's going around.  I was down for two days with it.  I had to weigh in this morning and I am down 3 pounds but I can totally tell you that is b/c I've not eaten much b/c my stomach has been in limbo.  So while its nice to lose 3 pounds I know why the big loss.

But after two days off work, I'm feeling much better but still have that weak feeling you have being sick.  Now everyone in my office is going through it. YAY. 

Hope everyone else is feeling ok and drinking plenty of water and having really great days OP!  

had a party

So I had the party and it went really and tons of people showed up:)  Great to see all my friends and everyone got along really well.  I'm getting lots of free jewelry too!

I did pretty well on staying OP this weekend.  I didn't really go out to eat expect to Wendy's on afternoon, but I was very OP there.  So my goal is to not eat after 8:00pm this week.  I have every reason to believe that I can acheive this goal.

I've got 10 pounds until I have lost 10% of my starting weight and I am trying to achieve that before the holidays.  I think this holiday season will be easier to keep going in my weight loss journey b/c I live in my own place and don't have the candy and rich foods that my Mom usually buys and keeps in her house.  She is slim and can eat those things so its just fine for her:)

I'm excited about this week. I'm going to reach my goal and I have very high hopes for having a big loss. Good luck to everyone this week, but we all know it isn't luck.....its our hard work!

he knows me

So Chris was trying to help me by making the Salami roll-ups for my party and I kept checking up on him telling him he was putting too much cream cheese in them and finally he looks at me, sets the knife down, and then washes his hands and goes into the bedroom.  So I sit down and start doing them and I look at the plate I gave him to put them on and they are all stacked perfectly around the plate and after I did a few I found you have to put that much in them for them to roll right. a.k.a. Imma Dumbass that's me.

So he came back out and stood behind the chair I was sitting in and took down my hair from the ponytail I had thrown it up in as I was running around frantically trying to prepare for the party and stroked my hair to relax me. After me breathing down his neck telling him how to put cream cheese in salami, he still went out of his way to try to help me relax so I could maybe sleep that night after a week of not sleeping good.  I said "P.S. Chris, um, you do have to put that much cheese in them to make them right." and he just leans over and kisses me on the head and keeps right on running his hands through my hair. Then tells me that's enough roll ups (had about 50 at that pt!) and to go put my PJs on so we can go to bed and he can rub my back so I can go to sleep (been stressed and having troubles sleeping).

This story was told as an example of the way weigh-loss efforts effects not just what you eat but your whole life!  Its hard to be around food you are making for others that you shouldn't eat and MAKE yourself not eat yourself sick of Halloween candy. Thank GOD I have Chris to support me and deal so graciously with my temporary insanity. I'm greatful I have support and I just needed to share that with all of you (who, by the way are another great support for me!). I needed to look at some positve in my life today and I'll tell you it really helped brighten my day! Hope your day is going well!
