Update:Week One, 13lbs down,Pt. 2

I did my update yesterday and was cleaning up my bathroom to put my scale away. I had a good weigh in and as I do sometimes and I really need to work on not eating off track to reward myself. Anyways since I did eat a bit off track I wasn't sure what to expect and definitely didn't expect a loss.


327. 6!!!!!

That is an amazing 13 lbs lost this week, I can't wait to get in today's workout and do next weeks weigh in, I know that since I'm just restarting my weight loss that its water weight, but I will take it all!

My goal for next week's weigh in is to finally break the 320, I know if I push my workouts, stay on top of my water intake and eat to my calorie goal I can do it.

Until next week!!!

Making Way for 2011...

As the last few days of 2010 approach I know I'm not going to make it to my goal of being under 300 lbs.for the new year, but I'm not sweating it. Since beginning my weight loss journey on my 25th birthday at 368lbs. I've lost 40 lbs, and I'm at 328.2 lbs. and though I've had some ups and plenty of downs, 40 lbs, is something to feel proud of!

35 lbs.away from losing 75lbs.and being halfway toward my ultimate goal. I'm so proud of myself even with all of my slip ups.

I've learned a lot and have a lot left to learn,so I'm staying solidly on track.

For Christmas I got the Wii Fit Free Run, and its winding me but I still love it so far. I also ordered Zumba which should be here within the next 7 to 10 days. I tried a few classes and loved them but at $10 a class they get pricey quick, and the schedule is not always easy to make it to a class, so having the dvds at home is going to be great.

I've been a bit bad at blogging lately, so starting with this week I'll try to update at least my weighins on Sundays.

Hope everyone is having a safe and blessed holiday.

Going From I Will to I Am

Confessional first, I have been really terrible with food tracking and staying within my calorie allowance the past few days as well as working out. I find it hard to get myself the 90 day plan and I'm still working on it.

I tried the Jillian plan but just reading the instructions doesn't help much I actually need someone to show me the moves so I will be using my BL dvds.

Workout Schedule:
Sunday: BL Boot Camp
Monday:BL Yoga
Tuesday:Rest or Pussycat Dolls
Wednesday:BL Boot Camp
Thursday: BL Yoga
Friday: Pussycat Dolls
Saturday: REST!!!

The BL are broken into 2 week levels but I will be taking the long way and doing them in 4 weeks.

Exercise is the most important factor I'm missing in my regime, so have to get on it.

I Will Vs. I Am

Weigh in this week was 333.6, we, but I know why I accept it, acknowledge it, and know this week I will be back on the right track. I've been saying I will lose weight for so long that my mind is still playing catch up to the fact I actually am losing weight. So I know what the healthier options are and I know what it takes, I've got to stop slipping back into my old ways and get the scale moving back in the right direction again.

That's about all for now, have a great Sunday!

Weigh In

Ok so I'm curious as always and stepped on the scale again today. Normally I don't weigh every day but again I was curious. It said 328.8 yesterday and I didn't want to claim it, after breakfast today I tried again and its saying pretty much the same thing, 329.0 so I'm claiming it!!!

I'm out of the 330's :) * Happy Dance* I'm seeing a 2 in my very near future, and I'm seriously looking forward to Sundays weigh in, I'll probably check in the days in between, but won't log until Sunday.

Have a great one people!

Weigh In Drum Roll Please....

Good morning to everyone in Blogland!! Weighed in this morning and got a pleasant surprise...331.2, I stepped on and off about 20 times just to make sure it was right and finally took a pic just to prove it to myself. Wow, that's about 8 lbs since my doc visit.

I went back over my food journals this past week to find out exactly what I did, my cals and carbs had been a bit low. I was a bit down after my check up and thankfully for once instead of making my appetite go into overdrive when I'm sad, it actually went down to nonexistent. Since getting the go ahead on Atkins I started to wean off carbs so my body wouldn't have as great of a shock, looks like its working. I'll officially be on Induction starting tomorrow and I feel very ready.

If I can do this in a few days time, I believe I can be out of the 3's by the new year and that would be amazing. That will be a 31 lb. Goal over two months and I've seen it done, I'm ready to count myself among the successful.

Its funny, on Friday I was watching Fit Tv and they were showing an old episode of National Body Challenge and the woman who was featured was opting for gastric bypass surgery. Of course that piqued my interest since it was recommended to me, she was 33,had two kids and had been struggling with her weight her whole life. She lived with her two sisters who both were also obese but had accepted there bodies as they were and felt fine about themselves. But for Lisa (I think that's her name) her weight ruled her life. She didn't feel good about herself, she excluded herself from social activities, she lived in sweatpants and no makeup. She was always doing for everyone and never for herself.She tried every diet out there, exercised excessively and was stuck at 255. Gastric became her only option, it was amazing I watched her go through adapting to seeing herself in a new way, getting her mind to connect with a smaller body, and accept that she was becoming thinner. The amazing part is she lost about 80 lbs. In 17 weeks.

Wow, not gonna lie I seriously considered gastric but I've already had success doing this the long way. Also I know behind my eating there are more emotional reasons and honestly on my part laziness, I have a hard time finding a workout plan I can stick to.

On the flip side, this morning I caught Real Women Have Curves on HBO, pretty decent movie, definitely shows appreciation for a womanly figure. Also made me think, I want to find myself at the end of this journey, not necessarily thin, but slimmer than I am now. I want my numbers to improve and mostly I want to be comfortable with who I am. I know no number or size will define that for me, but I want to be in a healthier catergory.

Anyways enough rambling just wanted to update my weight and I have a challenge going with my boo to motivate me for the end of the year, I'll detail that in my next post.

Live, Lose, Learn, Love
Be Blessed People!

Love When I Play Catch Up

341.6 this morning :) Boom baby, I love when my body plays catch up, I thought I had been slacking on my water this week, so I've been stepping it up so I wouldn't hold on to water weight and the Fit Fairy has given me a 6lb whoosh!!!, love it. Hope that it stays steady, I just may see out of the 3's before the year is out :)

Have to stay focused and committed I tend to get here and start to lose steam and go back up again, I'm ready for a new weight on scale, so my next weigh in will be either Sunday or Wednesday and I'm exercising everyday and staying on points and calories, crossing fingers for 335 next week!!

Have a blessed day ladies!!

Weigh In Day, Ugh!

Well no loss this week, and I know its my fault, I've been battling a cold all week and been pretty miserable so eating properly and moving beyond going to work and home again have been out. :( Will be back on track today and hoping that next week's weighin is better.

Sunday Check-In WTF? But in a good way.

Ok detox ended officially yesterday and I weighed in Friday as part of the 15in15 challenge, but my normal weigh days are Sundays and Wednesdays, if I feel I'm having a good week. Anyways, after my little cheat yesterday that turned from 2 Cinnamon Rolls to 6 I felt that sure that the scale was gonna be something terrible.
Especially since after having them was like a sleeping pill, after I had them I was knocked out for 4 hours and woke up feeling drugged. Lesson learned, big doses of carbs result in itis.Another concern was that I haven't really "gone" since about Tuesday, but I figured with all the fruits and vegetables I was eating, after my body processed it, there wasn't much left over to go out.
Needless to say the cinnamon rolls moved me like a laxative. (Sorry Ladies, gross, but true.) But looks like it could have been a good thing, the scale this morning shocked me, but now I'm grinning like the Cheshire cat, I feel so great!

Now I know starting off my weight drops quicker, losing weight has never really been the problem for me but rather staying motivated and maintaining. This definitely motivates lol. Almost makes me want to detox for another week, but have to move on, reminding myself this is not about quick weight loss, but turning this into a healthy lifestyle.

Getting ready to hit the grocery store and stock up for starting South Beach.

Stay sweet folks!

Week 1 Weigh In !!

4 days of smashing the fat, and it seems to have done some good, got a bit of fat kicked out 5.4lbs to be exact.

*Happy Dance*

Nice to see the scale down though I'm getting a new one, this one racks my nerves and I'd like to start tracking my body fat as well.

Just a quick update, not sure what I'm eating today, probably oatmeal, grapes, and apple chips I know for sure, and I really want a veggie sub from Subway, figured I've been a good girl and a healthy splurge is in order.

Who would have thought a week ago a veggie sub from Subway would have seemed crazy, smh, you live, you learn, you do better. :)
