Guess What!

Sooooo this girl is going to have another baby.  So we are on the back burner again...  but all is not lost I'm going to stay focused and only gain 10 lbs this pregnancy...  then kill it when it starts to come off.  I am waiting clearance from the Doctor to still work out to Maintain that's my goal.  :)  So I'm being good I cut out pop and I'm going to resist.

Mountains... I think NOT!



So here’s the score. 

 

I actually weight 258 it was better than I had hoped but still not the most exciting thing in the world to accept either.  I have decided that it’s time to get serious.  And I think you’ll truly believe that once I do my update for this week…

 

So I joined Curves in Wabash.  I have really been debating what workout plan I should do or what I should try or return to… and I decided that I was going to go back to an old thing that I did before and it was successful.  But the reason why I stopped is b/c I got married… So I’m thinking that this might be successful.  At least I’m hoping to be successful. 

 

So I am to a rocky start.  I have been working towards staying under my calories via Lose It! But I have to admit we had a HUGE snow storm so it was DIFFICULT!  I baked a couple of times, and we had some strange meals and that kind of thing.  Working out was a little tough.  I exercised on Saturday (which I did my running).  Then Sunday I had no motivation, Monday no motivation, and Tuesday No motivation.  I am a sorry case aren’t I?  I did shovel and we did sled for a bit on Sunday & Monday so that of course helps tremdously.  But you know it was running.  So I’m working out tonight, Thursday, & Friday at Curves after work to get back in the swing of it.  At least it will be returning to work out.  I just have to stay on top of it.  If I work out 3-4 times per week I think that’s successful.  I would be even happier if it was 6 times a week, but I’m working on getting on that.  This is a lifestyle change and I know that If I change too much too fast then it won’t stick and lord know I need it to stick.  So this week as far as pictures.  I did update them.  There really aren’t too many changes.  And I realize that everything is SO dark.  But what can you do. 
Okay this picture loading feature is not currently working on this site... I will try again to post later... so for right now... just picture what I look like last week... 

 

So it’s a slow turning wheel and it’s nuts but we will get there.  One good choice over another…  Or shoot one poor choice over another.  But it’s an ongoing battle that well I have had most of my life so I can only make steps in the right direction and unfortunately it’s going to feel like baby steps, but that’s what it is.  I just can’t get frustrated.  LOL  Right!  Stay focused.  Eye on the prize and we’ll get there.  Target weight 170.  Only 88 more to go…   THIS WILL NOT FEEL LIKE A MOUNTAIN.  THIS WILL NOT FEEL LIKE A MOUNTAIN… THIS WILL NOT FEEL LIKE A MOUNTAIN….  Just baby steps… baby baby baby steps.  I CAN get there!  Do it!

It Starts Over!

So we are starting over!  The knee has been a real pain in the ass but let me tell you I think I am going to be better then before.  So where do I start.  Well weight... unsure; my batteries in my scale has died.  So I have no idea of where I'm starting but my guess is somewhere around the 260s so let's call it 265 and then when I do get to weigh myself I will be able to update accurately.  I have joined curves.  I have to try this again mainly b/c my personal trainer is SOOOOO expensive and well I figured once I get the first 50 off then I will be able to go back to her to help me get the additional 40 off.  Well that's my thinking anyway.  So I will be working out during the day during my lunch hour or right after work.  I'm hoping that the days i have to work out after work that my family is supportive and picks up the slack when I need them too.  I'm planning on going there 3-4 days a week and I am going to run 3 days a week with my couch to 5K program WHICH I HAVE STARTED!  I am already done with week one.  But that's okay if I'm a little ahead b/c I'm WAY behind on the weight side.  So I'm rerecording my food in Lose It.  I HATE this part of this stuff.... it just is sucky.  I don't know why I hate it so much but I just hate it.  But that will help me be more aware.  I have found a new trick for water to make it not taste like crap.  I have started putting frozen fruit in my water and they work as ice cubes along with the ice and as the fruit defrosts it adds flavor to the water and by the end of the day it's really strong so it's not just plan water... but I know that just drinking plan water just won't cut it for me.  So this is Day one.  Again.  But hey we all have to start somewhere.  I want to finish this time, so my knee better just knock it's crap off and get healed b/c this girl is tired of being heavy.  I'm tired of having to shop and Lane Bryant.  I want to shop at a regular store and by regular size or shoot have a regular sized towel go around me.  My goal is 170.  So I'm not at 100 lbs but only 80 lbs to go.  Wish me luck!
