I DID IT!!!

I am OUT of the 200s ladies!! As of my weigh-in today I am 198.4!!!

I had an off week last week... didn't really lose anything.. got my "friend" after over 40 days. Even with working out and eating right, my period prevented me from having any change in my weight. One day I would gain weight, the next I'd lose, the next I'd gain. A very ugly cycle. I did not let it ruin all the work I've done though. I've come very far and a few bad weigh-ins aren't going to discourage me.

In the upcoming weeks, Adam and I are going to convert the attic to a mini-gym. Today I am hoping to get an elliptical (YAY!) and eventually put a TV up there and a DVD player... put my Wii up there, and other workout equipment I have collected over the years (mat, weights, medicine ball, resistance bands). I also want to invest in a stability ball.

Here is my new goal: by March 13th I would like to be at 194 lbs. It's a small goal, but again, my weight loss has slowed down a lot. 4.4 lbs in 2 weeks seems like a pretty decent goal. As always, if I hit the goal before then, I will let you all know!

Hope you all keep following!

Day 31

I have been at this for an entire month and have done a great job not breaking away from it. I have had treats here and there, but have always managed to stay within the points/calories that I'm allowed.

It's February 13th, and if memory serves me correctly, my weigh-in today should be around 204 if I reached my goal. I did weigh myself this morning and.... 203.6! I'm down 13.4 lbs!!

I had a bit of a rough week this week. Superbowl Sunday I weighed in at 204.6... the next morning, 206.8! I was a little discouraged and the numbers haunted me for days. But I never strayed from my focus. I don't quite know how I got those extra 2.2 lbs on overnight - perhaps all of the salt in the food I had (which, surprisingly, I stayed within my allotted points). It took a few days just to lose those 2.2 lbs. From Tuesday to Thursday I had no change at all. It was only yesterday (Friday) that when I stepped on the scale in the morning, I had finally gone down to 204.4.

The Wii Biggest Loser workout is really exhausting but SOOOOO much fun. I love that it really makes me build up a sweat in a short period of time.

Today I'll be heading to NYSC w/ Adam to get an intense (hopefully) workout.

I hope people are actually reading this! If not, I'm just talking to myself :(

Enjoy the weekend everyone (or no one if no one reads this lol)

Oh - before I go, I need to set up a new goal. By March 1st, I would like to be 199 lbs... I'd LOVE to break out of the 200s!!!! Only 4.6 lbs away! Kind of a big goal, but I'm off all week and should be able to increase my workout time and intensity every day.

I'll keep you posted as always!

Whoohooo!!

Yesterday marked three weeks that I have started eating healthy and exercising. It's going so well! I haven't felt much temptation to stray. I haven't given in to fast food, tacos, or over eating. This is the longest that I've stayed with something like this!

I weighed myself this morning, as I do every morning, and I have been consistantly losing weight every day. I'm down 12 pounds as of today. I am currently 205 lbs. One pound away from my short-term goal of 204 lbs. Once I reach that I will set a new goal. I'm on my way out of the 200's!!

Yesterday, after my morning weigh-in, I decided to try on a pair of jeans that I have not fit in in a few months. I couldn't believe it when they were able to zip up! And I wore them all day without my stomach hurting or burning! HAHA what an accomplishment!!

I'm going to spend this weekend looking for healthy, new recipes. I can't wait.

With that, I'm gonna go catch up on my DVR'd shows!

See you soon! Thinner and trimmer!
