Weigh In Wednesday

I see a trend here. Two weeks in a row I've lost weight. I lost 3.4 lbs. this week! I'm so excited. I have finally broke the 270's forever!!! I need to get below 265 before I know that is true because TOM can up the scale by 5 lbs. However, I like this trend, and I will claim it as a ever lasting trend. Do you know what that means? I get to get my 5 lb. award from Chubby Chick's 4Th of July challenge! (You can still join in....I started week 7.)

I will display it proudly. Since I love awards so much, my collection will continue to grow. I told my favorite strawberry shortcake goodbye this week and Rocky Road ice-cream. I did not have one bite! We also have a large yard to maintain, and a garden to finish planting. It's a busy time of year...but I like it! I can't wait to be eating from the garden!! Oh and let's not forget the baseball, baseball, and more baseball!

I love my family! I love spending time with them. They play a big part in my inspiration to become healthy!

I have not meet my goals for April yet. Although the 20 lbs. will not be reached. I'm happy with the 6 pounds gone forever. Slow and now steady! I will measure myself today and take an updated before picture before May 1st! Have a healthy, focused, prioritized rest of the week!

A few shots of the 'men' in my life! They are the best!

Weigh In Wednesday

It is that time again! Weigh in Wednesday is here. The scale shows a loss today....whoop! I lost 1.2 lbs. Actually, I'm not thrilled....I should be thrilled with a loss, but I am so tired of losing the same couple of pounds and then gaining them back. I want out of the 270's forever! I want to be the consistent loser (winner). I really am having to talk myself into being positive this morning...as you can see it's not working very well.

I guess part of the reason I am not thrilled is I know I can do better. Stress got to me yesterday and I got into some brownies! I was down a lot more yesterday morning, and then I blow it the day before weigh in! 'Nough said!

I did do better with exercise last week. I worked out three days last week. I really want to improve on that this week as well. I know if I am going to exercise 5-6 times a week I have got to do it in the mornings! I need to get up earlier! I also need to up my water intake. That is all I drink most days, but sometimes I do not drink near enough! Why did I even have brownies in the house? No big temptation when I bought them for the boys (like they need them). But whamo! Stress eater to the rescue. No junk in the house this week. It is a very busy time for our family. Baseball season in full swing. I need to be well prepared!

Now it's time to check in with Chubby Chick. It is half way through the 4th of July Challenge. I started late (week 7) in the challenge. I will most likely not meet my 40 lb. goal. My revised goal is to lose 20 lbs. before then. I tend to set my goals too high and then don't meet them. Hopefully 20 lbs. before the 4th is reasonable! I can do this!!!

Weigh In Wednesday

Well, it's time to dust off the scale for another Weigh In Wednesday. I did not weigh in last week...mistake 1.

I also have heard my boys Easter baskets calling out to me...mistake 2.

I haven't exercised all week....mistake 3.

Well here is the outcome of multiple mistakes in the diet world.
Yep, you can even see on the scale how much I gained from 2 weeks ago. 1.8 pounds!

The good news is...I am going to do better. I am going to start exercising again! I am going to get back to drinking green smoothies again. (Now that the blender works). I am going to stay out of the Easter candy and make healthy food choices. I am going to drink more water. I am going to plan for trips to town. NO eating out this week!

I WILL DO THIS! YOU CAN DO IT! Have a healthy week!

Funny Fridays...Temptations!

Why do I sabotage my weight loss? I had a good week losing last week. I had just started exercising Monday and Tuesday. Then boom.......Wednesday= no exercise...Thursday= no exercise. Plus tonight I was in town and did not eat before hand. I knew I was going to be in town for at least 4 hours, why did I not pack my dinner? At least a snack and some water? Well, one thing led to the next and I am eating at Taco Bell. 2 Tacos and 1 Mexican pizza with my water. I also manage to eat all of my son's cinnamon twists he left in the car when he got in to go home with Daddy. That is too much food! I then go to my friends house and a couple hours later eat some veggies and fruit. I did pass up the cookies and crackers at her house...I've got to give myself a little credit.

But it doesn't stop there. Oh no, I also stop by Walgreens on the way home to use my register rewards before they expire. I managed to pick up some chocolate and indulge myself once again. Was I hungry?...nope tired. I convinced myself that I needed the chocolate to help my stay awake on my way home. (45 minutes away). SABOTAGE! BINGE! Now I am home and realize when you fail to plan, you plan to fail! That is what happened today. I failed to plan! Planning is key with me and eating healthy! Friday's plan to get back on track! I will exercise and eat good. I will be going on a date night so I will make sure I exercise a little more and eat light so I can make up for eating out again.



This video is what I am thinking about tonight. Enough beating myself up...it's time to forgive myself, move forward, and laugh!

Weigh in Wednesday

I am excited to report this week that I have lost 3.2 pounds!

I am so happy with that. I am also very glad that I have exercised for the past two days. Now when I go to blog or spend too much time on the computer my booty is sore and reminds me to get up and get moving! I have been doing the Biggest Loser workout phase 1. I plan to exercise 5-6 days per week. Right now I am only focusing on going through all three phases and then after that add some weight training in. My goal for the month of April is a big one. I want to lose 20 pounds. I know with God all things are possible. I am ready to be healthy. I am ready to have more energy. I am ready to release any and all strongholds in my life. I am ready to earn my first button from Chubby Chick...next week! I'm ready to be free!
