gained 42 lbs while pregnant.

Fri, 7 Dec 2012 17:33:37 EST

in 2011 i had a goal to lose weight. i worked my bum off and reached most of my goals. i started at 298lbs when i decided to change my lifestyle. by 2012 i got down to 228 being the lightest iv ever been. that being said i lost 70lbs. i was so excited. then in may of 2012 i found out that i was pregnant. first thought was, i did all that work for nothing. losing weight actually helped me conceive. so now im 7 months into my pregnancy and iv gained 42lbs. i got rid of all my big clothes so now...

Bad Week

Thu, 19 Jan 2012 23:56:15 EST

I haven't done so well on my fitness this week. There's always next week. I have 2 goals for myself. To look good for this 336 and to fit on this the last time I went to Six Flags, Les and I wanted to go on this, but my butt couldn't fit. So if we go there this year I want to be able to get on it with him. I think It'll take at least 10-20 more pounds to fit on it.

A Great Reward!!!

Wed, 18 Jan 2012 19:10:17 EST

Yesterday was a great day for me. I tried on some old pants and pants that i could never wear... SOME OF THEM FIT!!! I've went from size 26 to almost all my size 22 shorts. Hopefully by summer I'll be able to wear them comfortably. I was dancing around the house in them for a bit. My fiance looked at me like I was a nut. I haven't been doing so well this week on exercising. This is because my arm and side has been hurting. Fatigue also plays a part in it. Next week I'm going to try harder. T...

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 21:02:17 EST

The last 2 days I've been extremely sore. I don't know what I did, but I'm paying for it. I walked a mile today. I probably wont reach my goal this week, but I'm not giving up.

Last Year of Being a Teen

Sat, 14 Jan 2012 18:15:16 EST

19 years ago my mum gave birth to a 7lb baby. I feel like time is flying by now. I didnt walk today. I figured I can slip today. Theres always tomorrow. I'm scared to see what the scale says though. We went sledding and snowboarding today. Probably will be my last time snowboarding. I fell on my butt and gave me a headache the rest of the time. Thats about all i did for my bday. oh i got a surprise cake.

1 Year Older

Fri, 13 Jan 2012 21:25:43 EST

Well I haven't really met my goal this week. I didn't walk yesterday. So tomorrow I'll have to walk 2 miles to reach my goal. I'v been having headaches like crazy. I don't have any pain medicine to get rid of them. I think I gained weight this week. I'll be surprised if I did lose weight. My fiance came home last night and now his brother is more mad at me. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm really not a social able person. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day. I'm getting old.

Sleepless Nights

Thu, 12 Jan 2012 19:38:16 EST

I havent been able to sleep the last couple nights because my fiance isnt here. I dont know why i get upset about it. Now his family will hate me more. Its snowing here. I wanted him home before the roads got bad. and i told Les it was going to snow. I feel like they planned this out. I dont what to do. I didnt walk today so tomorrow ill walk 2 miles.

4 More Days

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 17:13:26 EST

My fiance has been at his brother's the last couple days to help his brother move. I went to the eye Dr. today. She took pictures of the back of my eye and was worried about the freckle by my nerve. She said come back in a year but I won't be able to because I won't have insurance. I am ]not a morning person. I can't go to bed early so I get up early and I'm tired all day. I'm trying to find a job but there is not one thing around here. I don't know how to make a resume. I need to refer some...

My Blog Title

Tue, 10 Jan 2012 19:45:23 EST

My fiance is going to his brothers tonight to help them move. I hate sleeping alone. I've got an eye Dr. appointment tomorrow to get my eyes dilated and to get my new glasses. I think my body is giving up on me again. I walked 20minutes today. I need to start on my stepper again. but my legs are giving up on me, or I should start using the shake weight. Is there anyone that I can refer to my sites for making money?

Yeah. I'v Got This

Mon, 9 Jan 2012 19:10:54 EST

Today I walked 2 miles straight. That is 40 minutes all together for me. Tomorrow I'll do 25 minutes. I found a way to make a little money on the internet. I have been looking for a sight that would help me. I'm going to save up for the wedding or Six Flags or something. My tooth is still bothering me. Is there a way to make a resume online for free? All the sites I went to they want you to pay. I'm also trying to find a site that has beats that i can add to my song. I'm dreading the 24th of ...

Exercised 180 minutes.
Walked 8.71 miles

My Day

Fri, 6 Jan 2012 20:15:17 EST

Since yesterday my tooth has been killing me. Hopefully the dentist can fix asap, because I won't be on the medical card after January. I walked at least 20 minutes today I think. My head has been hurting on the same side as my tooth. My fiance is with his bro again today. It's unusual that he spends this much time over there. Oh well. I'm trying to find out how i can make money online.

OOOOH YEEEEEAH!!!

Thu, 5 Jan 2012 17:40:12 EST

50!!!! That's the big number of the day. I did 50 minutes of exercise today 334 That's the most I'v done in a while. I was just walking and listening to music so I decided to do 5 more minutes. Those last 5 minutes felt good. My fiance is at his brother's doing his kitchen floor. I think sometimes we do need a break from each other so we won't butt heads. His brother says I'm keeping him from his family, I'm not doing that at all. It takes gas and money to run all around. I dong ge...

I CAN DO IT

Wed, 4 Jan 2012 19:44:47 EST

I walked my mile today. I was going to walk 5 extra minutes, but I figured my body needs a break. Tomorrow I'll do 25 or more minutes. My mum went grocery shopping today. She mostly go meat. I'm feeling good so far about getting on the scale Sunday. I weighed myself today and it said 253 so that means I'v lost 2lbs so far this week. I'm proud of myself. 224

Second Chances

Tue, 3 Jan 2012 21:22:20 EST

Well my fiance gets another chance. So now we have to figure out a way to make some money.

We just keep getting more and more bad news. It's hard to stay positive with all these things coming at once.

Another good thing that happened today is that my fiance and I walked and stepped again today.
Les did 20mins of walking and 5mins of stepping. I did 40mins of walking and 5 of stepping. I'm proud of my man and myself. Tomorrow I'm going to stick with 10-20mins of wal...

Tomorrow...

Mon, 2 Jan 2012 18:29:45 EST

My fiance is supposed to go to court. We have no way of getting there. He is going to try and call and find out if they can move the date. If they can'y he probably will have a warrant out for his hos arrest. I swear his ex will be going downhill if he does go to jail.

Today Les and I walked 20 minutes and used the stepper for 5. I'm so proud of him. i hope he will do it everyday with me. I think I did good on my eating. Tomorrow if everything goes okay I will walk 10mins or more ...

Happy Crappy New Year to Me

Sun, 1 Jan 2012 21:36:05 EST

I feel like everyone has a knife in their hand waiting for me to turn and stab me in the back. I can't trust anyone. I don't believe in the word "friends". My fiance might end up in jail because of his stupid ex. We need at least $50 to get to court. Him and i are trying to sell our valuables. Everyone laughs at me when I tell them this. Until they end up in jail or lose someone close to them they won't know how it feels. This is why i stay home and don't socialize. If I got a job I wouldn't ...

My New Year's Evening is a Bummer

Sat, 31 Dec 2011 17:39:00 EST

I started my monthly. When this happens I cant't move as much because I might have a leak. I'm just hoping it goes away soon. With PCOS my cramps are like someone stabbing my inside over and over again. Iv been wanting to sleep,scream,and cry all day. I did go outside and let my pup run around. It is pretty nice out. I would like to grow my own fruits and veggies this year and maybe save some money and eat more healthy. Is it just me or is SP less motivating? I used to get people that talked...

I Screwed Up

Wed, 7 Dec 2011 21:27:13 EST

I didnt do my goal of a mile today. i had to take a break my body is begging for it. tomorrow ill have to do at least 1.5- 2miles to meet my goal of 8 miles this week. I hope to lose 1-2lbs this week so i have to work hard. so much to do in so little time.

I Really Dont Know What To Name This Blog...

Tue, 6 Dec 2011 21:28:48 EST

Well I did my 1.5miles today. i think i should lower my goal to 7-8 miles this week. my body wasnt ready for this sudden change and its wanting to give up. Im not in pain Im just worn out. It is weird that i cant sleep. Only for a couple of hours. My fiance has even notice this change in me. i dont think its the supplement. i think its anxiety. i havent been eating much and im constantly hungry. food scares me. one bite of something and guilt kicks in. i know i have to eat to get energy. i wa...

Oh Body Why Do You Have to be so Stubborn!!!

Mon, 5 Dec 2011 19:40:05 EST

I think I started off too hard on myself. I wanted to walk 2 miles today, but my body feels as if it wants to just fall apart. I'm hoping I can do 1.5 or more miles tomorrow. I'm going to make my goal to be 1.5 because it will give me time to get my energy back for the next day to do 2 miles. my goal this week is to do 10 so I'll keep that pattern going until Sunday. Does this sound look like a weird way of getting my walks in? Has anyone had this problem before? 40

It's Going to be a Tough Week

Sun, 4 Dec 2011 21:20:08 EST

Im planning on walking 10miles. last week i started on thursday and only did 6miles in 3 days. next week ill take it even farther then im planning on toning it down the week after this one to confuse my body. iv heard changing the time and distance of walking can help lose weight. i cant weight to get to 248lbs. thats only 6lbs away. im also using Hydroxy Cut to give me energy. last time i used it it actually helped. i got my pup to walk on the treadmill, hes learning so fast. bad thing is he...

I DID IT!!!

Sat, 3 Dec 2011 20:53:07 EST

I REACHED MY GOAL OF 6miles!!! i started exercising the 1st of this month, so i think that really good for starting Thursday and finishing Saturday. It's also cool i stayed on track this long after i kept stopping before. My goal for next week is 8 or more miles starting tomorrow. Im going to take it easy tomorrow doing 10-15 minutes. I feel so accomplished. 334 58 224 20

Day 2 of My Starting Over

Fri, 2 Dec 2011 20:09:44 EST

i walked 25mins today. i think that is better then nothing. ill do 40mins tomorrow to trick my body. my legs are begging for a break. i tried to watch what i ate today i might have done good, but i dont know i ate 2 bowls of cereal and 2 bowls of chili. i drank a lil bit of cool aid for a change. but i have a good feeling about the little time iv been trying. i meant to walk 2 miles but my legs were giving up. i feel good 224

Today = Success

Thu, 1 Dec 2011 19:06:18 EST

i walked 40 minutes today. i feel achieved. Tomorrow I'm going to walk 40 minutes and 10 minutes of something else. i didn't really stay in the garage all day. i just walked when i was bored. i watched my portions when i ate. i ate a can of applesauce for breakfast, eggs for lunch, and chili for dinner. Usually i eat more then 1 bowl of chili, but today i told myself "I'm full so i don't need anymore". so for the rest of the night ill drink water or cool aid (water gets nasty after awhile a...

DECEMBER = HIBERNATION

Wed, 30 Nov 2011 22:43:49 EST

Tomorrow im going to start staying in the garage all day until bedtime. i plan on losing at least 5-10lbs in December. If i actually lose that much i might make it a habit until May. im making this a promise to myself and i have no choice. i cant make any excuses. if i do ill add a minute to my walking. im doing it for my health and for myself. i will eat canned fruits and veggies. thats it. oh and water.

When Can This Be Over With?

Tue, 29 Nov 2011 08:54:38 EST

i wish my monthly would be over with so i can start exercise. i think its about done. i think i sorta did good on my eating yesterday. we went to subway and instead of a spicy italian that i usually get i got the veggie delite with light mayo and 9 grain honey oat bread. i think im going to start walking at an incline going at 3 mph.
