I HIT MY TEN PERCENT GOAL!!!! And I'm a pound away from being in onederland!!! So happy right now...
I learned so much from my WW leader today. She was talking about the challenges we all face when losing weight. The main point she was getting at is that you have to make a lifestyle change. I know we've all heard that but it's so true. She was also saying that just because you had a "bad meal" doesn't mean your whole day/week is ruined. I know this is all information we know but it's nice to be told again.
It's so weird to know I will (hopefully) be under 200 pounds in the next week or couple weeks...I haven't been that size in four years...I see myself changing and I'm so excited! When my WW leader said that my next ten percent goal is 180, I just looked at that number and was like, wow. I'm going to be 180 pounds and it's not that far away! I can do that in four months and be bridesmaid ready by Oct. 27th! I know it's easier said than done but if you stick with whatever weight loss program you are on, it will work. It's just staying on it 110% and I always struggle with that. I just need to truly commit myself 110% for the next four months and feel the best I can about myself when I'm in my brothers wedding...
I'll be up north for most of the week so I'm not sure how often I can post. Either way I hope everyone has a good one!
It is a hot one out today! So I set my alarm for 7:30 to go walking/running this morning but of course I hit the snooze button...soooo 7:30 turned into 9:30 which turned into 10. You would think a couple hours wouldn't make a difference but it DEFINITELY did. I'm not usually one to get dizzy or overheated but that happened today. I don't know how much more water I can drink to stay hydrated though! I'm drinking about 96 oz of water a day...
Today should be pretty low key. I don't have anything to do until my 6 to 9 class tonight.
Well I hope everyone has an amazing day and try to stay cool!
I'm really bad at keeping up with this...So right now I am 205.75...Since the last time I posted I was in this weird plateau state (or at least that's what I like to tell myself...) If I am completely honest with myself I know that I was not sticking 110% to my healthy lifestyle. The compliments and feeling good about myself caught up to me which made to gain up to 208.25. It really makes you think how fast you really can gain it all back...4 pounds only took a month...
So now I just recently started to run and I really enjoy it! Yes it is verrry hard but there's something about the feeling of accomplishment after I run. I don't know if anyone can relate to me but for a while there I did not want to go to gym because I felt weird about people seeing me work out and the same went with working out outside. These past couple weeks I've pushed myself to focus on the work out and not what other people think about me.
So yea, like I said, I'm 205.75. Only 3.75 pounds away from my 10% goal! If I go to my WW meetings EVERY week, write down everything I eat, and exercise, there is no reason why I shouldn't hit this goal within the next 2 weeks.
Sorry this blog is so long but I've been so overwhelmed the past couple weeks with my weight loss. My brothers wedding is in 123 days and the reason why I know the exact date is because I have a countdown on my fridge so I can visualize everyday that it will be here before I know it! 4 months seems like a long time but really, it's not. My ultimate goal is to be between 180-185 for his wedding. So that puts me losing about 5-7 pounds a month. When I really look at that, it's not that big of a deal. I CAN DO IT. It's not like I'm looking to lose 40 pounds in 4 months because we all know that is not realistic.
Sorry this is way long and sorry for neglecting you all on here! I want to be on here at least 4 times a week if not more. I hope everyone's enjoying their summer!
So last week I gained 3.75...this week I lost 6.25!! I seriously was NOT expecting that at all...I thought I definitely lost this week but maybe a pound...So 6 more pounds and I'll hit my 10% goal! That will be such a huge milestone in my journey...I just pray I can lose those 6 pounds in 3 weeks!
This weekend is going to be pretty low key...I have 3 finals on Monday so I'll be studying every day...
Well I hope everyone has an amazing day and for those of you that are in MI, enjoy the nice weather we'll be having this weekend!
Between work, school, hw, working out, and whatever else happens in my day...Everything has been going really well since I came back from Hawaii. Like I said, it feels really good to have a set schedule and get back into the swing of things. Sorry this is short, sweet, and to the point but I have to get going. Hope everyone's week is going well...

Sooooo I went to weigh in today and I gained 3.75 pounds! It was expected though because I was in vacation mode a little too deep. I exercised almost everyday but we ate out 2 times a day at least, not to mention an occasional cocktail or two! haha I'm not going to sweat it though. I did this to myself and I can get right back on track! Don't get me wrong, Waikiki was absolutely amazing, one of the most beautiful places I've ever been but I'm glad to be back on a regular schedule and work hard to a better/healthier me!
I lost a pound and a quarter this week. One pound short of goal but of course I'm still happy with my results!
My next goal to hit is 202 and I'll have hit my ten percent goal! I hope that I can get to that point by the end of April.
So this is going to be my last post for a long time. I am super busy up until Hawaii and will be beyond busy when I get back. I'll probably be posting pretty regularly starting back up sometime around April 13th. Happy Losing to all! I can't wait to come back and read all of your successes!
And I'm a pound away from being in onederland!!! So happy right now...
