Before After

Trying to get back on track!

So the holidays just did me over!  With a gain of 6 lbs and last week only loosing .6 of a pound I am really trying to get focused and back on track!  So far this week so good..  I worked out on Sunday and then again today so that is a HUGE start!  The only day I ate bad was Sat and really it wasnt as bad as it could have been.. So I am hoping for great results this week on the scale!  I found this websight  www.health.discovery.com on there they have this weight loss challange its free and you register and then get a 8 week pass to Balley fitness!  Im hoping there is no "catch" when I get to balley lol.. But hey for 8 weeks its worth checkin out ya know!  i will keep you updated on that!  So im doing ok.. not so good on the personal level but good with the weight loss this week.. :O)  Well I hope eveyone has a great week!  I will ttyl!

Its Thrusday and these are my thoughts..

Well.. How have I dont this week.. WELL A hell of a lot better then last week thats for SURE! lol.. Im doing good.. I mean Im staying within my points not eating to bad of points so Im good.. Just havent gotten the motivation to work out!  Im sooooo freakin lazy this week its crazy!  Tom and I did go out one day and play raquet tennis we call it lol Its like raquet ball but with tennis raquets and tennis balls lol.. So yah.. It was fun.. We just need to do it more.. We keep talking about buying each of us a bike so we can go ride together.. Just need to get some of this vacation debt payed for first.. Then we will go bike shopping.. :O)  As far as the scale goes I havent really seen it move much.. Now my scale is different then the one at WW.. The one at WW is  usually like a pound or so less then mine.. Soo mine said today I was still at 260 so I dont know.. maybe I lost 1-2 lbs Im not sure.. ALl I know is that its not the 6 I wanted to loose this week  but that is no ones fault but my own.. gerrr.. Oh well.. At least I am back on track and not gaining anymore!   I am soooo glad tomorrow is FRIDAY! WOO HOOOO I am READY for the weekend!  How bout you?  Well I hope everyone is having a great week!  I will ttyl

sad sad update lol

ok so.. if you didnt know I went to CA for almost 2 weeks.. I knew it was going to be trouble being in CA is always hard for me.. We always have so many people to see and stuff to do and it always revolves around food.. why I dont know it just does.. So at first I did ok.. I was paying attention and then well I just stoped caring.. yah I know.. I knew what I was doing and I knew what would happen but then why when I got on the scale this week at weight wachers was I hurt?  I mean I KNEW I was going to gain I actually thought I was going to gain more but that didn't make me happy I was upset.. Upset for letting myself gain.. Upset that I don't have control of myself... upset that I gained 6 lbs... and that I wasted 2 weeks where I could have lost and I wasted this week that I could have lost more but I have to get this 6 lbs off.. gerr So here I am back on track well almost today (new years eve) is kinda a free day cuz we are going to be eating a lot lol but we did work out today and I have been keeping track of my points.. So I am back.. *sigh*  I think I will get this 6 lbs off quick but still it is still frustrating and I am still dissapointed!  Oh well.. Holidays are almost done right.. Just toinght and then thats it! WOO HOOO thank you JESUS lol.. :O)  So other then that things are great!  I had a really nice time in CA.. It was hectic though with christmas and all the family.. But it was still nice.. :O)  I hope everyone has a great new years!  ttyl

ps what is up with the new point value for ww?  weird..

just thoughts...

I have always been overweight.. I don't ever remember being small.. I see pictures of me as a kid and I was even then big.. I think the only pic I know of me being small was my preschool pic lol.. I was never really teased I mean some kids would make rude comments but I think kids were scared of me that I would kick there butt if they said anything so they never did.. Not in highschool either.. I didnt have a "boyfriend" till I was a sophomore in Highschool.. Didnt have my first kiss till that same year.. I didnt go to my prom I wasn't in clubs after school.. I had like 3 really good friends and that was all.. I can give excuses to why I was fat.. I can point the blame but I wont.. Once you get to a certain age you know whats good and whats bad for you.. I chose to still eat bad and not to care.. I missed out.. On a lot in my life.. All because of my weight.. Isnt that sooo stupid.. I mean really.. To know that FOOD has that much control over us that it causes us to over eat and then gain weight and then not feel comfortable to go to our prom! Or make more friends! I mean thats so stupid.. I feel like my whole life has been lived by this person that I don't even know.. I have been traped inside this fat body all my life and I am sooo ready to get out!  There are so many things I want to do that my body has kept me from!  At my highest weight I was scared.. Scared that I wasnt going to live.. Scared that if I did do something about it that I wouldnt have an excuse anymore!  My excuse for everything was my weight.. Why people didnt like me, why I didnt have a good job, why I didnt go to sports events, why I didnt want to go to the park.. EVERYTHING..   Everything was focused around my weight.. So it was scarey to give that up.. To risk not having that excuse and having to face the fact that people might just really not like me even if Im thin.. ya know.. Does this make sence?  I would hide who I was.. My dreams and likes and passions all behind my weight all because I was scared of getting hurt.. Did you know that I have never in my life had a guy (stranger) ask me for my number.. I know thats stupid but its true.. I dont know.. Its just all weird.. So I took that step.. I have got my weight down a HUNDRED pounds!  I know I still have a long way to go but I am here to say that Im not scared anymore.. And that in itself is a huge accomplishment!  If people don't like the new me.. Oh well.. to bad for them.. Cuz I want to do everything now.. I want to go sky diving and scooba diving.. I want to go parasailing and to all the sporting events I can.. I want to hike up mountains and go camping.. All the things I would run from I want to do.. I hope the world is ready for the new me cuz Im coming and Im not going to give up!

Hope you all have a great rest of the week!

WHAT? 100 lbs are you kidding me?

Is this really real.. I mean am I going to wake up from a dream and still be 355 lbs?  It feels so unreal!  I mean this is CRAZY!  I knew going in to my weigh in today that I would hit my 100 lbs.. I only knew because I am addicted to weighing myself at home lol.. So I go in there and get on the scale and there it is.. 254.4 lbs.. *sigh*  My start weight was 355.2 *sigh*  I still am in shock!  I brought in a couple pics with me to show my leader and a couple other people looked at them too.. They were all amazed.. Last night my husband and I were looking at some old videos of us and my jaw droped.. I mean I know I have lost weight I know its a lot but when I look in the mirror I still see that I am fat.. When I walk by a store at the mall and I catch my reflection its still not what I want to look like.. But when I look at old videos and pictures that is when I am like holy crap are you kidding me!  I guess its because I live with me everyday so those 2 lbs here and 3 here they dont show to me until I hit something this big.. Wow.. 100 lbs.. this is all just blowing my mind.. The best part about it is im not starving.. Im not depriving myself.. Im not on a "diet"  Wow.. If I can do this ANYONE can!  wow.. 100 lbs.. hahahaha  Time to celebrate baby!  :O)  Goin out for my 100 lb victory meal tonight!  Where else but Macayos lol the one place I havent eaten since the start of my diet!  lol.. WOO HOOOO! 

Today....... is a good day!

*Thank you Jesus for helping me get this other person (100 lbs) off of me!  And for adding years on to my life!  I give YOU all the glory!  Amen!

Week one FINISHED!

Oh my gosh.. SO I wrote this huge blog and it didnt go through.. NICE lol.. geez ok here we go again!  lol.. This week was good and bad!  I worked out everyother day!  :O)  I only had my 2 soda's :O) I drank more water and I got lots of sleep!  So I did alright!  Now I did go over some points.. My estimate is like 7 I went over.. I was doing SOOOOO good all week and then thurs night I made some "adult" smoothies lol.. Yah.. went over points.. gerrrr Then yesterday I was sooo craving something bad so I had some frys from Johny rockets!! AHHH lol.. I only ate half but still.. I was good on points though so I didnt go over but Im sure it had an effect on my weigh in today!  :O(  OH well so anyways lol.. I did good this week I think that is.. I lost 2.4 not my 3.3 I wanted but hey its all good.. Sometimes you just can't controll how much your body is going to let you loose no matter how hard you try.. If its not ready its not ready.. So ya.. I was thinking I sure picked a bad time to go full blast with this 10 in 3 weeks!  Man.. So Im thinking of adding another week!  lol.. 10 in a month! lol. That is still 2.5 a week and Im still down darn but hey its closer right!  This week is going to be tough... I had a baby shower to go to today.. I did good except for the cake.. oh man.. I think I am about to start my period cuz man have I been craving sweets!!  SO I HAD TO HAVE SOME CAKE!  Plus you should have seen it lol.. It was like 6 layers white with this like chocolate moose filling.. ohhh mannnnnn yumm. so yah it was worth the points for sure!  I over estimated it and I think im good for the day with points... I worked out too so *feww* Think im good!  Now thursday is going to be a whole nother story!  lol.. We will be going to church durning the day so that shouldnt be tooo bad.. Everyone is bringing a dish so hopefully it wont be anything I like LOL RIGHT! lol.. then that night instead of cooking we are going out to dinner.. :O)  I like that idea cuz it will be easier to portion control and there will be NO LEFTOVERS no midnight turkey mashed potatoe sandwitches lol.. so thats GREAT.. The only thing that SUCKS is I have weigh in's on SATURDAY so that doesnt give me much time to burn it off!  *sigh*  So I will try my best the rest of this week to go STRONG and not go over points at all!  Also to work out like crazy!!  lol.. So yah.. Im so tired now I think I need to go rest! :O)  I hope everyone had a great week and Keep up the great work!!!  Talk to you soon...
