Before After

Day One.....once again.

Here I sit again, in the same spot I have sat so many times before, hoping this will be the last time of "day one". I have had so many ups and downs over the past 5 years, I need this to be my year, I need to make this happen. I now know that I want this for myself, not only for vain reasons but I want to be healthy to see my girls grow up and have kids of their own one day. I know this will be a battle I will have to fight for the rest of my life but here I am, still trying to fight, wanting to win.

Here's to 2011 and everything that it can bring if I am just willing to fight for it!

One Day...

One day I am going to get past this obsession with food that I have. I am taking it day by day, pound by pound. I get so discouraged when I think of the big picture, no more of that!! From now on I will take it 5lbs at a time. That seems completely manageable to me, instead of thinking about 70+ lbs to lose!

Here we go!...........again.

Goodbye 230's.....again....lol

Sweet! I made it out of the 230's this morning! Had a loss of -1.2 from yesterday to be at 228.8, LOVE IT! Now to say goodbye to the 220's!!! Can't wait!

Tomorrow

I am really hoping that I will see the 220's tomorrow!!! I never, ever want to see the 230's again...I've been there too many times!

Week One, Check

Finished week one, it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be!

I will be missing out on the BBQ my dad is doing tomorrow and the Easter dinner my mom will be making and all the chocolate.....but I must be strong! lol

On to week two!

Happy Easter!

Down

Down another 2lbs today, feels great!

I am getting headaches but not sure if they are related are just the normal headaches I always get....hmmm.....

Day 1 has come and gone....

I lost 2.4 since yesterday! That feels good! I was cranky yesterday and did start to feel blah by the end of the day but I am sure my body will adjust to this.  The fact that I made it through a Saturday eating good was a huge accomplishment for myself.  I tend to let loose on the weekends and pig out.

I feel pretty gosh darn good this Sunday morning!

First Day

Today is the first day of my calorie restricted diet....I am determined for it to go great! I know this first week will be the hardest.  I need to prove to myself that I can accomplish this.

Oh Doc....

Went to a follow up visit today at my doctor's office.....lab results in....

Cholesterol is too high....my next appt is in 30 days to follow up again....I have to show some improvement in my weight by then...then she will re-test me in about 3 months to check my cholesterol. Fun!

I need to slow down....

For some reason I constantly think it's all or nothing when it comes to dieting....that is the only way I have ever done it...could this be why I have stopped so many times?!? LOL....I need to just live, take one day at a time, not look at the whole picture, just today.  If I eat a piece of pizza with my girls that doesn't mean I need to stop completely because I totally screwed up, enjoy it and go on....I need to get this through my head. :o)
