Still Working On It!

Iam still here pluggin away at losing this weight. Things have been steady and that is great!!! Iam just waiting for the day that I hit a plateau...... Iam sure that it is coming!!

Some great news is that I have bought some 14's....wooooohoooo!!!!!! I felt like I would never see that number again. Now if I can just keep this weight coming off so that I can get back in my 12's before we go to Disney World!!

Stalled!!!

I think that I am developing a pattern of losing weight every other week. I have been holding on and then loosing about 1-2 pounds. It is kind of frustrating to not see the scale always moving but my clothes are starting to fit better and dh is noticing a difference in my body. I just have to keep reminding myself... slowly but surely!!!!!

Crunch, Crunch!!

I didn't have the time to do any cardio today so tonight while watching American Idol I did crunches and pelvic lifts during every commercial break. In 2 hours that is alot of crunches!!!!

I have been doing lots of ab work and Iam starting to see a difference in my tummy!!! YEAH!!!

So Bummed today, I just don't understand.

I usually weigh everyday, but Mondays are my official weigh in day. Well, I had dropped down to 184 but today my official weigh in day I step on the scale and it says 191!!!! I have exercised everyday but one and I have been eating really healthy, watching my portion sizes and everything. We even had chinese yesterday and I had one plate of veggies, 1/2 a bowl of hot and sour soup, and 1 egg roll, so I didn't over do it..... heck I wasn't even full when we left the restaurant.

I don't know!!!! Iam not going to give up though!

Took yesterday off but back on today!!

I took yesterday off and I think that I really needed it! My back was killing me and I really did not have the "wanto" yesterday. Today though I did my Walk and Kick Video and the Biggest Loser 15 minute "boot camp".... let me tell ya, that 15 minutes is no joke! I feel great though and have so much energy and my back feels much better too!! AAAAHHHH!!!

Feeling so Blah today!

OK, so I have exercised everday in the last 2 weeks but 2 and it is really killing my back. Iam sure that it is just where my back muscles are weak so I tried looking up some exercises to help strengthen my back but as I sit here looking at them I just don't want to actually do it! I know that I need to but dang.... today I just want to be lazy, LOL! I suppose we are all allowed to have a lazy day every now and then.... right?

Spicing things up!!!!

Iam trying to add a few new things to my menu of foods. I don't want to get stuck in a rut again. Yesterday I made my kids cheese quesadillas and it looked soooo yummy, it was all I could think about. So this morning I played around a little and I created a Chicken Quesadilla Omelet(sp?). I took one egg and one egg white and beat them together. I had left over roasted chicken from supper so I put about 1/4 of a cup of the chicken in a non-stick skillet coated with spray and I warmed that up. Then I poured the egg over it and cooked it on low until it set. I then added chopped tomato and one slice of reduced fat cheese. I folded it up and let the cheese get all melty.... it was so good and it satisfied my craving.

I  used my Dr Phil food guide and totalled the calories and it came to about 300 calories and 48 grams of protein.

It was delicious and it helped me keep on track!!!!!

The Biggest Loser

That is what I want to be!!!! I just bought the new Biggest Loser2 DVD and it is GREAT!!! You can customize your workout with different types of cardio, core training, etc.... I hope that this helps me to get off the pounds that I have packed on over this past year. I also hope that I can keep my motivation going!!!

So Proud of Myself!

I went to a function at my church today and there is always wonderful food there. I knew that I would be tempted and I wanted so badly to just stay at home. I decided that I would go ahead and have my cereal and fruit at home and that I would make this brunch/function my morning snack. I DID IT!! I had a cup of coffee and little ham biscuit about the size of a silver dollar and fruit. Before I started all of this I would have thought "ohhh this will be OK, splurging just this once won't hurt!!" BUT..... I HAVE WILLPOWER!!!!!! I just had to toot my own horn!!!

It's a new year!!!!

Iam so motivated! Iam ready to get off this last bit of weight and get to where I was before Parkers birth. I am hoping that I will not get frustrated and give up. I just have to keep reminding myself that losing weight is not an easy thing and that it is hard work.

My goal is 1-2 pounds per weekuntil I reach my end goal of 150 and a size 10!!!!
