loss of 14.5 pounds
ok so i have fallen off the horse so to speak the last couple of days. haven't walked or done a video since sunday. i have done mediocre on my eating though. i am going to get out tonight and try to walk a few miles. i figured out today that i am 5.5 lbs from reaching my 20 pound mark. i started this journey at 208. i started on fourth of July working again on my weight and i would like to get off at least another 40. but that means i have to stay on track. so tonight i am jumping back on to make sure i exercise everyday! so here i go.

OW day
ok so week one is done. lost 2.6 not bad--i am really happy with that. especially since Sunday i had a migraine a cranky 17 month old- teeth and binky taken away (or only for bed and car) plus studing for a test. needless to say i ate. as a lot of us are i am an emotional eater. or snacker i should say. i grazed my way though the kitchen. i am proud of myself though because when i was snacking i did try to stay healthy. pretzels, dried apricots, and marshmellows. i did say i tried. the helpful thing was i had all of these items sectioned out into little snack bags each containing only 100 calories. i cannot imagine the damage i would have caused if i had axcess to a whole bag.
so on to week two. goal still to excersice 6 days a week. and self goal of 1.5 pounds.

sore
ok so today is sunday or "day off" but let me tell you i am sore! from yesterday. today i have a softball game so i will still be active but in a different way. the scale stayed the same today, maybe tomorrow a little more will come off for offical weigh in we will see. regardless i am happy with 2.8lbs on week one here.

really tired!
ok so today R and i took the kids on a bike ride. sound nice and relaxing...OMG did we have a workout!!! went garage sale shopping on bikes with us taking turns with the 50-60 extra pounds being carried behind one of the bikes...wow what a difference. and SC is suppose to be the lowcountry and FLAT... we found lowcountry mountains. ok so they are not mountains but when you are trying to pull an extra 60 pounds behind you they qualify. what a total body workout. even my abs and arms are sore... from bike riding. now i understand why all pro bikers have no fat on them. so we might try to do this once a week. don't know if i could walk if we did it every day. i could be a goal though. so tomorrow we will see how i feel and how much the scale likes me on monday morning. i keep closing my eyes thinking bridesmaid dress bridesmaid dress...it WILL FIT!!!

Today i like the scale
Ok so like anybody i have a love Hate realtionship with my scale. However, today i love my scale- i love big jumps in what it says. it means it is paying off that i am restricting my eating and exersicing. but i will hold reservations till monday lets see if i can keep it off!! so i won't count it till monday on my offical WI that way i won't get discouraged if the weekend thorws a curve ball at me. Walking and videos seem to be helping. scheduling with someone else certinanly helps keep up the motivation. well that is all for today bridesmaid dress here i come
