Closing in on the 40 lb loss mark!

Friday, May 03, 2013

Just 2 lbs to go! When I first started over I weighed in a 253, that was just 2 lbs below my all-time highest weight. I am now down to 215!

What a difference limiting the "junk", eating healthier, drinking my water and getting in my workouts everyday makes! I feel so much better and hardly ever have that "sluggish" feeling! I might just reach that goal I set for the end of June! All my pants are starting to get so loose!

Til Next Time!

Target date set for my return to ONEderland

Wednesday, April 24, 2013

I have set June 25th for my target for my return to onederland. That gives me 2 months to lose 18 lbs. Can I do it? I believe that I can.

If I lose 2 lbs./week I will meet that goal. I have become more aggressive with my workouts and am tracking my calorie intake, watching my sodium/ sugar/carb intake closer. Drinking lots of water too and being more consistent taking a multi-vitamin!

Stay Tuned!!

Good luck with your goal! It certainly sounds like a reasonable one, and you have the plans in place to make it. I hope to be joining you in ONEderland not too long after you get there.

Working outside is much more comfortable!

Monday, March 18, 2013

This weekend I worked outside with my husband and I didn't get the achy ankles, knees and feet that I usually do! One thing I noticed is that when I walked across the garden, I didn't feel the strain in my "bad" leg that I have in past year. I call that progress!!

30 lb. loss mark reached

Tuesday, February 26, 2013

After staying at the same weight for a week or so, I finally reached the 30 lb. loss mark!! I know part of it was due to a trip to Nashville and not sticking to my eating plan as strictly as I normally do but, I got in alot of exercise with a bit of walking.

I think I will be able to do more in the garden and yard this spring without tiring out so easily.

3 lbs shy of the 30 lb loss mark!

Wednesday, January 30, 2013

I am so excited. I am almost back to my weight that I was when my husband and I got married back in 1986 so, I am feeling a bit like I am back to even, so to speak.

On our wedding day I weighed 225, granted that is still way over weight but I feel good about my success so far. I would like to add that a couple of years into our marriage I dropped 60 lbs in less than a year. I was much younger then and it was easier but, I did it and feel I am capable of doing it once again. I currently weigh 226.

I must admit to be more than a little embarrassed about letting myself get into such bad shape. I really want to be able to contribute more with our yard work/landscaping & garden this year. If I continue at this path, I will be able to.

Happen to come across your blog. You are doing so well. You just keep at it girl. Anything we set our minds to...can be accomplished. Slow is better than fast...this way we'll keep it off.
