I can't believe that it's already the 14th of June! Our cruise is September 20th. It's safe to say that my body is really comfortable staying at 250 lbs. I weighed in at 251.6 lbs this morning. After the wedding, it's been pretty hard to stay consistant with weightloss. Mind you, the wedding was 9 months ago. Getting down on myself isn't going to help anything, but I wish that I had the same motivation that I had when I was trying to lose weight for my wedding. I managed to get down to 242 lbs in 2009. I wanted to be down to 225 lbs for the cruise this September. It's proving to be more difficult than I ever could have imagined. There's so much room for excuses. My head is in so many different places right now. Work is a big competitor for my time. I need to get back in to the routine where I made time for myself. I also need to get back in to the mind frame where exercising was a treat for me. My husband and I hit a rough patch these past couple of weeks. We went on a spontanious mini vacation a couple of hours from home this past weekend, and we seem to be back on track and on the same page again. Now that my husband and I are back on track, I feel like I can finally get myself back on track with losing weight!

Excellent Job on prearranging your weekly goals. Don't be so hard on yourself you are in the right mindset. Strive to eat healthy first of all. Good luck you will do it. Pray, Sing and Dance with life. "MOVE" that body. Turn up the volume. Report Inappropriate Comment

Que The Dramatic "Dun dun dun"

Friday, June 04, 2010

Well, I didn't go to the gym last night. I don't know where my motivation has gone. I think it has something to do with how packed my schedule is right now. I can't even remember the last time that I looked, really looked, in to my husbands eyes. We are always rushing out seperate doors, doing something that "needs to be done". Or, even worse, we are rushing around together, yet I feel like I haven't seen him in days because we aren't really in the moment together, we are just trying to get to this event or that event and so on and so forth. Tonight we have another "event" to rush to after work, but I am going to try my hardest to be in the moment, not only with everyone around me, but especially with HIM! I just feel like I can't work on me, when I feel like I am losing touch with him. My husband is a big part of me, so once we reconnect, I feel like I will be able to better reconnect with myself and get my head in the game.

In the meantime, I am going to continue to make my way down to 249.9 lbs by Tuesday. I am going to order a salad at tonights birthday party dinner and have a light drink. The gym is not happening tonight, and tomorrow I am hosting my moms birthday party at my house. Sunday is an afternoon filled with family pictures, so this weekend is going to be pretty packed. I'm hoping to make it to the gym on Sunday at the very least this weekend! The most important thing to do this weekend is to reconnect with my husband and myself!

I thought the dramatic "dun, dun, dun" was going to be for saying good-bye to the 250's. It sounds like you have some great plans for your weedend! Enjoy! You are doing great! Report Inappropriate Comment

Gym Scheduling Hiccup!

Thursday, June 03, 2010

As I suspected, my gym schedule has changed, for a couple of reasons actually. First off, the holiday threw me off this week. I thought that Tuesday was Monday and so on. So, I actually started this challenge on Tuesday, so my week will go from Tuesday - Monday.

Secondly, my husband and I were anticipating our friends to come over one of these nights to book excursions for the cruise. They came over last night and we didn't go to the gym. We actually didn't even get a chance to eat until 9:00 at night, when they left. Despite the change in the gym schedule this week, I am still aiming for 5 days at the gym this week!

New Gym Schedule:

Tuesday - Gym (DONE!)
Wednesday - BREAK
Thursday - Gym
Friday - BREAK
Saturday - Gym
Sunday - Gym
Monday - Gym

Aside from the gym goal, my other goal for this week is to lose enough weight so that I am down to 249.9 (atleast!) I want to be out of the 250's for good! My weigh-in is on Tuesday! I weighed in at 252.2 yesterday, so I have 2.3 lbs to lose. That's doable. My only hang-ups will be a birthday party dinner/drinks tomorrow evening and my moms birthday party that I am hosting at my house on Saturday. I am going to make it through both of these celebrations and still lose 2.3 lbs. I know that I can do it!

  

June's Starting Weight

Wednesday, June 02, 2010

June's Starting Weight: 252.2 lbs

252 always seems to be my "fall-back" weight. I was eating everything in sight while I was sick; I might be the only person in history that actually gains weight while being sick. Oh well, that's in the past. It's a new month, I've got 110 days until my September Cruise, and I am going to make today a great day!

My goal for my next weigh in is 249.9! I want to say good-bye to 250's for good this time!

June 10 lb Challenge

Tuesday, June 01, 2010

May's 10 lb Challenge didn't go so well, so I am going to try it again in June! I was sick for a few weeks there in May, and completely lost my groove. I've got 3 months until my September Cruise and I want to be down to 225 lbs by the time that I walk on to that ship!

First Week's Challenge: 5 Days of Gym
-- It's been a while since I've been to the gym, so my first weeks challenge is going to be to go to the gym atleast 5 times this week. I'm going to make a schedule for myself, to make it a little easier. If I manage to go on different days, I'm going to consider that okay just as long as I make it to the gym five times this week!

Monday: Gym
Tuesday: Gym
Wednesday: Gym
Thursday: Gym
Friday: BREAK
Saturday: BREAK
Sunday: Gym

Friday and Saturday are going to be pretty busy days this week. I have birthday get-togethers on both days. After work on Friday, my husband and I are going out to dinner and out for drinks with some friends to celebrate a birthday. On Saturday, we are having my moms birthday party at our house. I still need to work out the details, but I'm pretty sure that pizza and cake will be present.

I will be weighing in tomorrow morning for this month's starting weight. Hopefully I didn't gain too much since my last weigh-in!

Good night, everyone!
