I am so beyond excited! I have lost 30 pounds! It has been so long since I have seen a number on the scale starting with 18! I am so proud of myself that I have stuck with this & really changed my life style!

I just had to share my happiness!

Well tomorrow is official weigh in day but I reached my goal of losing 3 lbs this week this morning! I am a every morning weigher - it keeps me motivated! I actually lost 3.4 lbs and tomorrow is not even here!
I worked out hard at the gym last night & glad I did!

I also started therapy today! It went wonderful! I found the perfect therapist for me! I am thrilled and really feel good about this time being my time! :)

Interruptions & success!

Saturday, December 8, 2007 23:04:22

So I did do my yoga! And started my pilates but my son woke-up from his nap, so I didn't finish. But I did go to the gym! YEAH! and I did 45 min on the eliptical, and have only been able to get 30 min in the past 2 weeks so I was happy! I burned 575 calories (plus whatever from my fat burning yoga). All in all I would call this day a success!

Gym!

I so need to go to the gym today! I have all this pent up energy & want to do my cardio! I hope my motivation continues until hubby gets off work b/c I don't have anyone to watch the kiddo until then & the gym doesn't have child care on Sunday's...maybe I will try to do my yoga & pilates in the mean time!

Seriously???

I am in total shock right now!!! I gave my son a peice of chocolate that his auntie gave him (he couldn't have it 'till he was a good boy & a reasonable time of day). So I said can I have a tiny bite & he said yes. So I took a TINY bite & YUCK! It did not appeal at all! This is me - a chocoholic! YES!!! I am so happy! Craving salads & hating chocolate! Could life get any better?

Goals

Saturday, December 8, 2007 23:03:12

So I have decided to set goals for myself that will help me to stay motivated in this process! I know that some will be met & some may not. I am OK with that, I just want something to strive for!

So my 1st goal is to lose 20 lbs by 10/8 (that will be 10% lost)

My 2nd: -33 by 11/5

My 3rd: -53 by 12/25 (Merry Christmas)

I know it sounds like a lot but that is my 8 lb loss the 1st week & then an avg of 3 a week after that.

My 4th: -68 by 2/14 which gives me 7 weeks to lose the last 15.

Just because I set these goals does not mean that I will stop if they are not met. It will just push me to work harder! I will NOT fail this time!!! I can't fail this time. I have to do this for me, for my health, for my family. This is one thing I will finish!

My journey

Saturday, December 8, 2007 23:00:15

I feel like I must change in so many ways! I have been trying for so long to lose weight, to be healthy and I have struggled time & again.

So what has changed? So much! I finally want it more than I want food. I don't want food to be what I use to fill me up anymore. It hasn't worked yet, and I know it never will. I finally started seeing a chiropractor on a regular basis & he helped me to find the vitamins I needed for my body. I also went to my Dr before that and was put on Zoloft for my depression which was also recently increased. And now I am taking Phentermine. I took it 4 years ago & lost 25 lbs in 6 weeks which was great except that it taught me nothing.

My goal this time is to change for good. I am learning how to listen to my body. I am learning how to eat smaller portions. I am learning how to be healthy! I am getting many more veggies into my diet & am working out 6-7 days a week. I needed to do this for the right reasons, for me.

I am starting therapy next week. I am really looking forward to finding the reasons that I emotionally eat & sabatoge myself.

I deserve this! I deserve to be healthy! I deserve to look good!

This is the new me!
