Ugh

Friday, June 22, 2007

I have really been feeling down lately. It has become clear that all the greasy, sugary, calorie packed foods I love so much simply cannot EVER be a part of my diet if I want to be healthy and fit. I've enjoyed a lot of these not-so-healthy foods in the last couple of weeks, continued my normal exercise, and not dropped an OUNCE. Not exactly what I was hoping for. It is definitely going to be a challenge to come to terms with the fact that I will never be able to eat everything I really want to. Just like I have to come to terms with the fact that I'm going to look like a Sharpei when I reach my goal weight. Gah.

  

Halfway there!!!

Sunday, May 27, 2007

I just realized that I am halfway to my end of year goal! In 4 months I've lost half the weight and I still have 7 months left to meet my goal. WOW!! I can't believe how well this healthy living thing works! ;) I've had a really rough week even, but that's just proof that a few bad days doesn't ruin your whole diet.

  

UNDER 200!

Saturday, May 12, 2007

I am officially under 200 now! I hit 199.6 the other day, and today am 199 even. Under 200 was my short term goal to meet by then end of this month! WOOOO HOOOOOO! I am hoping to get to 175 by the ned of July or sometime in August. It would be so awesome to hit 175 by July 28th becuase that would make it 100 pounds lost in a year. That's a pretty cool number, but may be too ambitious a goal, we'll see!

40 pounds gone for good!

Friday, May 04, 2007

I am thrilled to be able to say that in my first 90 days I lost 40 lbs! I feel great! Plus I am so close to being under 200 lbs, which is just AWESOME! I swear it is gone for good this time. I WILL NOT EVER gain this weight back! I've done it twice and gained it all back, so third time's the charm! I WILL keep my healthy habits this time, I know all to well what will happen if I don't.

I sing the praises of Sparkpeople to everyone who comments on my weight loss, everyone who says "how'd you do it?!" I LOVE SPARKPEOPLE!!

Memo to self....

Before you try and wipe your sweaty face off, put down the weights in your hand! That is, unless you enjoy giving yourself a fat lip....
