Hey everyone. I know i haven't been on in a while. I started having some medical problems and i ended up having to have surgery to have my gallbladder removed. I am two weeks post surgery and feeling much butter now. I started taking my phen again on monday. My begining weight on monday was 158 and im down too 155 as of today. I have 20 more pounds to go till i hit my goal so here i go again. I can't work out for at least another week due to my surgery so i am not pushing to lose a lot right now. Slow is ok for a little while as long as i don't gain. I'm thinking in a couple more weeks i should be able to put my work out back into my schedule.
I am doing very well in nursing school. I am about to finish my first term and i have an A in all my classes. I only missed one day of class for my surgery. That was hard but i had no choice. It was eather take off and start school over next year or deal with the pain and go to class. I decided to deal with the pain. There is no way i was going to start over when i was doing so well and spent so much time gettting those grades.
Well i will keep every one up to date on my progress. I wanted to reach my goal by the end of the year but since my surgery slowed me down a couple monthes i am going to give myself till the end of FEB.
Well my weight as of today is 158 ibs. My next goal i set was to be 155 by 8/23/08 my 30th birthday. I have 9 days to lose three more pounds. I think it is in reach. My weight loss has slowed down to almost a stop this month. I stopped taking phen for almost two weeks to see if that would help and i started taking it again today. I have also slaked off on my workouts this month so that is another reason for the weight loss halt.
I started working out again today also. I want to set a new goal to get myself moving. My next goal is to lose 10 ibs by september 18th. One month from the day i start school. Everyone says to be prepared to gain 20 ibs while in school this year. I say there is no way im going to let myself gain 20 ibs. I worked too hard to get here. Infact im going to lose about 25 ibs. I plan on weighing 130 by the time i graduate. july 19th 2009.
well as of today ( 9 weeks) i have lost 28 ibs and 26 inches total. I Have gone frome a size 16-18 to a size 10. I think the most amazing thing is i actually like to look at myself in the mirror. I love the way clothes are starting to look on me. I love the way i am actually noticed now and i don't feel like this invisable person. I love the fact that i don't mind having my picture taken . I look back at all the pictures of my kids when they were younger and it looks like i was not involved in there life because i would never let anyone take a pic of me. I think i have had more pics taken of my in the last two weeks than in the last two years combined.
everything in my life has changed for the better. I am more active with my kids there for they are happier. My marriage is much better because im not always in a bad mood and taking things out on my poor husband. I get out of the house more now and i am involved more with friends and family. I am going back to school and getting the degree i have always had an exscuse not to get. It is like i am a diffrent person. No it is like i found the old me that has been lost for so long. There was so many things that i use to love about myself that I had fogotten about. I had quit doing all the things i loved to do because of my weight. It feels good to go out and do them again and not wonder the hole time if people are staring or what they are thinking. Not to mention things are just easier to do .
My weight loss has started to slow down now but i am still losing and i know i will contine to do so. There is no way i will go back to the way i was. Living Life is just too much fun. 35 more pounds to go and lots of fun on the way to get rid of it.
For those of you who acrually read my blog i wanted to post a new after pic. I am down 23 ibs so far. Just in time for vacation. Well let me know what you think. You can tell the truth i can take it . lol
Well keep your fingers crssed for me that i don't gain 10 ibs while im gone. Keep up the good work everyone and take care. Ill be back in a week.
I didn't think i was going to reach my goal of 170 before vacation this friday. I still had 3 ibs to go when i weighed this past weekend and i have been losing so slow i thought there was no way. I got on the scale this morning and i am down to 169. I have lost a total of 24 ibs in six weeks.
I went shopping a couple weeks ago and bought size 14. I decided i needed one more pair of shorts for vacation so i went shopping again over the weekend and i was into a size 12. I was so excited when they zipped right up i was dancing the happy dance in the dressing room. It has been 7 years since i was able to fit into a 12. When i first started this journey i thought there was no way i would ever be as small i was when i got married (125 ibs size 6) but the more i lose the more i think it might just be within reach. I want to bottle up this feeling so i can go back to it on those days i start to feel a little discouraged. I am just so happy and proud of myself right now there is no way to explain it.
Well i have gained and lost the same two pounds for the last 10 days. I just can't get down past 176. I did bad over the holiday with family cook outs and everything and was back up to 180 . I got back on track on tuesday and now im back down to 176. I am just sick of seeing the same numbers. I need the scale to say at least 175.
Ohhh well i guess i will just keep working out and eating right and cross my fingers that my scale moves. I only have 15 days to lose six pounds. I want to reach that mini goal before vacation. I thought about doing slim-fast. I kinda do slim-fast now but i only have one when i can't eat. I think i am going to do the shake for breakfast and lunch and see what happens. I'm a little afraid to do it because i don't know if i will get enough calories.
Well i am down more inches than i thought. I was not going all the way back and using my first measurments. I have lost a total of 17 inches and 17 pounds in three weeks.
I haven't lost any more weight since monday witch bumms me out but i can tell i have lost some inches because i had to go dig my belt out yesterday to keep a pair of capries up that were tight on me just two weeks ago. I don't know if i havent lost because i have been doing some strenghth training of if i might have slowed my metabolizum down from not eating enough. I think im going to hold off on the strenght training for a little while just in case because i have to be down 7 more pounds in the next three weeks or my doctor will not give me another perscription. I am also going to make sure i eat breakfast every morning know matter how hard it is to eat.
Ohh yeh i got whistled at a few days ago while i was walking into krogers. It has been a long since that has happened to me. That made my day. I also have to go get my wedding rings resized soon. It fell off my finger working out yesterday. I have to wear them on my middle finger till i get a sizer.
Well today is week number three and as of today i have lost 17 ibs and 8.5 inches. ( i can't subtract i think i had said once that i was down 10.5 inches). I didn't work out as many times as i wanted to this week. My husband and i had an argument and i was just down for a few days and didn't feel like working out. I think i might have lost another pound or two if i would have stuck to my work out. Oh well it is what it is and i still did a great job. Well i only have 7 ibs more to lose and three weeks to do it in to meet my next mini goal and me and hubby made up so maybe i can get back in gear this week and kick it up a bit to make up for what i missed last week.
Well good luck everyone and keep one foot infront of the other, it is the only way to get where you want to be.
Well my goal was to be down12 ibs in two weeks. After i gained a pound over the weekend and tom showed up thursday i thought there was no way i was going to be able to lose the 2 extra ibs by yesterday. I didn't even weigh myself yesterday because i didn't want to get discouraged and be down on myself. I got up this morning and i had lost not 2 but 5 pounds. I am now down 15 ibs in two weeks and one day.
I also started doing atkins low carb diet so i think that helped a lot too and TOM left and he took his water weight with him.
I am just so proud of myself i have to say and that is new for me. I am usually always putting myself down. Well i jumped on the treadmill this morning and decided to out due myself. I usually only make it 20 minutes. I turned on the music channel and just started walking and listning to the music before i knew it i look down and i had been walking 3.0 mph for 50 minutes. I bet my usual 1 mile in 20 minutes. This time i did 2.10 miels in 50 minutes.
I am down 11. 8 ibs. and Tom showed up yesterday so by the time he is gone im sure it will be even more. I only have a few ounces to lose in 3 days to hit my first goal of -12 ibs in two weeks.
