Today was day 1 :)

Wed, 3 Apr 2013 18:51:08 EST

So today was day 1 back at the gym, I got up at 5am ( which I am NOT a morning person) and met up with my friend at 530 and did 30 min on the Elliptical. I know 30 min is nothing but it's a starter, I actually could have went longer but it was our first day at a new gym and we had to take care of a few things that took some time... I haven't been to the gym in about 2 months & was really surprised on how much I just jumped right back into it was working hard but could still have a conversatio...

Starting over

Wed, 27 Mar 2013 19:38:03 EST

Here it is almost a new month and I have fallen off the train again... :( it has been a emotional few weeks. First I came off my depression meds after 7 looonng yrs then in the process of coming off my meds I lost my father in law which did not help with the emotional part of coming off the meds.. Now I'm back from New Mexico and back at work trying to get myself back on track... I came across a breaking point which was during out trip to new mexico my right leg/ankle/foot swelled up worse th...

Day 1 all over again...

Tue, 12 Feb 2013 16:32:03 EST

Well I fell off the train for a little while but not to much in a bad way.. I'm still down 14lbs just haven't lost or gained which is good in some ways... I just signed up for the " Biggest Loser" at work it started yesterday ( Monday 2-11-13 ) and will last for 15 weeks. Everyone put in 25.00 as a join fee and we will have to pay 1.00 for every lb we gain .. I think this is going to be GREAT & I intend to stick with it and see where it takes me :) I really want to get a bathing suit ready bo...

Welp....

Wed, 30 Jan 2013 21:43:00 EST

Welp I have drifted the wrong direction the last few days, have ate some things I'm not proud of :( ( still no red meat & still only water ) I have not been to the gym since last wednesday either :( I plan on going tomorrow and friday HARD to try to make up for some lost time... I'm not falling off the train just hit a detour, I believe I might have also gained a few lbs back :( which gets me kinda down bc I was so close to being under 300lbs...Ugh, 1 day at a time I guess....

Woo Hoo

Tue, 22 Jan 2013 21:24:16 EST

Since December 31st 2012 I have lost 14lbs :) I myself don't think you can tell but everyone else seems to be noticing it :) & I'm feeling AMAZING ..Can't wait to lose more :)

Day 14-18 :)

Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:28:54 EST

Been doing GREAT .... 18 days later and I'm down 11.5 lbs :) not sure if that is good or not but I feel AMAZING... I been keeping up with my goal of working out 3 days a week. Had a family issue come up so been a little depressed but still hanging in there.... :)

Day 12 & 13 :)

Sat, 12 Jan 2013 18:46:10 EST

I have still been doing pretty good... I had my cheat meal last night which was 10 boneless wings with blue cheese.. YUMMM :) I know it's really not a cheat meal bc it's still chicken but I was craving it all day and do every friday for some reason.. We also went out to lunch today and I got smothered ck which I know is not the healthiest thing but I had to change it up a bit plus I put it on my food tracker so I'm covered...Went to the gym yesterday (Friday) but didn't get to go today seeing...

Day 11 :)

Thu, 10 Jan 2013 18:49:59 EST

Was not feeling so great this morning just super tired I think it's the energy pills I'm taking I feel great all day but the next morning before I take it I'm SO tired. I ended up calling into work late thought I was going to nap but decided to get up and hit the gym instead before I went it. Felt a whole lot better after that :) I'm down to 309.5 which is 8.5 lbs since last Sunday :) Only 9.5 to get under 300 which is my biggest goal right now... I'm going to the gym tomorrow and will weight...

Day 10 :)

Wed, 9 Jan 2013 21:05:54 EST

Today I didn't do as great as I have been doing but it was still a good day... I had several cookies at work today :( but I'm not mad at myself bc I have done an amazing job so far & 10 days is the longest I have ever made it.. I weighed in today and am now down 8lbs :) plan on working these cookies off tomorrow at the gym...I'm definitely not falling off the train just took a detour :).. back at it tomorrow :)

Day 9 :)

Tue, 8 Jan 2013 18:57:51 EST

Felling good today, decided to start working out right before work since I work 2nd shift. I go in at 2, so now I'm going to the gym at noon working out showering then heading to work. ( the gym is right by work) today was the first day I tried that and think it will workout pretty well..I am feeling a little discouraged today, just bc I have made lots of changes to my diet and still have not lost much weight.. I figured only water would help me drop a bit and I've reconstructed my whole menu...

Day 6,7 & 8

Mon, 7 Jan 2013 18:47:32 EST

I didn't get to write this weekend bc we were out of town. so here it goes, Friday night I had splurge meal after 5 days of doing GREAT I have 7 boneless wings :) Saturday we were on the road so for breakfast I have McDonald oatmeal.. Lunch we ate out but I had grilled ck, broccoli and 1/2 a sweet potato..

Fri, 4 Jan 2013 18:50:04 EST

Today has been a good day so far :) It's suppose to be my splurge day but decided I wasn't going to splurge all day just one meal which will be dinner and it's going to be some boneless mild wings Yummm...I have been waiting for them all week..lol..Oh yeah I also had a cookie and 1/2 this morning ://but I have done AWESOME all week so I'm not mad at myself..

Day 4 :)

Thu, 3 Jan 2013 21:35:20 EST

Today was my first day back to the gym since I started the new me transformation & it was AMAZING... I felt so great after, I forgot how great that feeling was.. I set a new goal today, instead of concentrating on my weight I'm going to set a goal to workout at least 3 days a week, that way I'm not looking at my goal weight everyday and thinking how am I ever going to get there... So this goal for me is a good start.. I'm excited about to going to the gym tomorrow & feeling as great as I did ...

Day 3 :)

Wed, 2 Jan 2013 20:15:58 EST

Today has been GREAT!! Everything I ate was healthy and I actually enjoyed it. I did eat 3 pieces of chocolate covered nuts I got for Xmas ( they are from Hawaii) but that's good considering I would have usually ate the WHOLE bag..lol.. I just couldn't help it.. The only thing I was disappointed in myself for today was I didn't go to the gym...Working 2nd shift sucks and getting off at 1030 staying up till 2 and getting up at 9 SUCKS... but I plan on going forsure tomorrow and now I have 2 me...

Day 2 :)

Tue, 1 Jan 2013 17:56:24 EST

Welp the last 2 days for some reason have been a lot easier then any other time before... Eating heather hasn't been a problem only water no problem... I think this time is the right time.. I know I'm getting a head of myself considering it's only day 2, I just want to stay positive this time too.. I know I can do this & stick with it... I'm ready for all the challenges a head to become a better me ... 104

Day 1 :)

Mon, 31 Dec 2012 13:32:38 EST

Welp it's Day 1 of a new beginning for a New Year.. I'm really excited and determined to form a better me. I'm making some major changes as of today. I bought a kids portion plate ( Winnie the pooh) and I'm going to start using that for my meals.. 4 spots protein, veggies, fruits & fat :) I also started these new pills that are suppose to help with energy which is my biggest issue so I hope they give me the push i need to stick with this. I'm going to take pics of all my meals and everything ...

Depressed ;(

Sun, 16 Dec 2012 21:22:50 EST

Today I am thankful to be alive & have all the wonderful people I have in my life. but today I am not happy with myself, I have gained so much weight in the last 2 yrs I don't even recognize myself anymore when I look in the mirror. I look in the mirror and point out every flaw I have from head to toe. I'm so scared of hitting 30 and being as over weight as I am today or even heavier. I have always had depression issues ( seems like it runs in the family) & take meds to help keep it under con...

Dont know where to start

Thu, 13 Dec 2012 17:41:13 EST

Ugh I'm not sure where to start, I keep falling off the wagon and gained more weight :( I'm really depressed and not happy with myself at all.. I have the best boyfriend & an awesome job but I won't ever be completely happy until I get myself together.. But where do I begin??? I have no energy or motivation....HELP!!!

Excited

Wed, 12 Sep 2012 17:35:08 EST

Monday I went to the weight MD and he put me on Topamax, phentermine & a water pill...Already I have lost 5 lbs... I know it's probley just water weight but 5lbs is 5lbs to me... The meds have really been helping with my appetite and energy...I'm really feeling good about this time... I PRAY I can stick with it bc I am really wanting to lose 100 by spring..... wish me luck :)

MD appointment

Wed, 22 Aug 2012 14:40:20 EST

SO I went to the MD yesterday and they put me on a 1200-1500 cal diet :( which I guess is helping me out but it sucks for them to tell you your fat.. my blood pressure was also high so they were worried about that..They decided to get me back on track with my PCOS bc that will help me lose weight ( I hope anyways) I'm just hoping this all come together bc I'm tired of being who I am these days...

5 miles

Sun, 12 Aug 2012 18:30:48 EST

So yesterday me my bf & little bro went hiking it ended up being about 5 miles... and let me tell you the only time I wanted to give up was when I walking up the hill to get to the truck...i could see the truck & I was outta breath but I pushed right through it thanks to the help of my bf who said he had my back :) I felt great and today oh man am i sore...whooo sooo sore...lol...but it was well worth it...we plan on trying to hike every weekend I have off...I'm ready to be more active...

Why I really want to lose weight

Wed, 8 Aug 2012 21:45:44 EST

I don't want to lose weight to look better.. I want to lose it to feel better & sleep better. I'm sure once I started losing, the headaches would stop the acheness would stop and the sleep would start... but getting the motivation to actually get up and do it is like pulling teeth.. I keep making excuses after excuses so I don't have to do it and at the end of the day I'm pissed bc I put it off once again...I'm only 26 I have time to get it together...I NEEEDDD to feel better... ugh

Stress messes up everything

Sat, 28 Jul 2012 17:52:27 EST

Mon, 23 Jul 2012 10:35:48 EST

I will also be measuring my self tonight and taking before pics..Guess I'll post them on here so everyone can see what I'm working with....Wish me luck :)

I'm tired of eating.

Fri, 13 Jul 2012 22:05:05 EST

You ever get to the point you are just tired of eating?? well thats me now. I'm just ready to get back on track and get myself together...when I write my goals down on paper they look doable and 90lbs really does not seem like that much when you think about it but HOW do I do it... I have a membership @ snap fitness and plan on starting back on Monday but it's hard to do when you don't have someone to tag along with you...Everyone I know either lives on the other side of town or we work diffr...

We went out of town this weekend to meet with friend in michigan there was around 50 people they all ordered pizza and i got a salad,.... I was so proud of myself any other time I would have just ate it... I am really determined this time... Also since last tuesday I have not worked out I actual c...

As of today I am getting back on track.. I am 100% determined to stick with it and get myself together no matter how hard it is... I'm tired of all the excuses I keep giving myself.. I know I can do it & I now have faith in myself to do it. It's going to be a long bumpy road but I plan on filling in all the holes :)

I just get so far off track

Fri, 4 May 2012 16:40:26 EST

I just get so far off track I don't know where to start again... I had goals to meet for this month and nothing has came together. Every week it's starting on Monday.. when will it actually be the day??? I am still young and i need to get myself under control before it;s to late and I can't lose it.... I'm thinking about doing the everything blended diet for a week or so and see how that goes, has anyone tried it??? I just need a new beginning.

It's only day one ....

Tue, 24 Apr 2012 01:02:44 EST

It's only day one and I'm already having trouble.. ugh just no motivation...I did get up this morning and go to the gym & did good on eating all day until i got home...That's the hardest part of the day, when i get home and have to make the bf dinner and he doesn't get home till midnight ish. ugh i just feel like I don't have the will power to say no... I love food & I feel hungry all the time.... Ugh I need HELP!!!
