A Long Week

I am so bummed. I worked out with my trainer 3 times this week and ate very carefully. I weighed in today and I am at 261. That is just 2 pounds! I know that everybody says that 2 pounds a week is good but I put in a lot more effort than that. If I had 30 pounds to lose maybe but I need to lose 75 more pounds to just be over weight. It is hard to be moving so slow. I have so many things going on I just need to get going faster. I guess I will start again on Monday and hope that next week is better.

The Short Week

I know I weighed in on Monday but I want to get back to Friday weigh ins. So I did it Friday and I lost 2 more pounds! Can you believe it, 2 pounds in 4 days. I am excited about this and can't believe that I am still losing. I keep thinking that I will hit a plateau but not yet! I am 263 and 4 pounds from 59! That will be great. Well it was a short week so this is a short post.

265!

I did not get to the gym on Friday or Saturday (life is really crazy now) but I tried to eat well and keep moving. Today, I had a refrigerator man, 3 extra children, 1 lost child (yes it was Rachel) in a Lowes. I couldn't take it anymore and went to the YMCA just to weigh in. Was I shocked to see that number! I am 6 pounds from 259! Also, when I was at 18 pounds of loss I was telling people 20 so now I am 21 and feel great about it! Also that means I lost 4 pounds this week! Sorry, I just keep adding exclamation points cause every sentence in this post deserves one! I have so much going on that I am really proud that I am able to keep going. I keep thinking that I can't keep everything up but so far I am. I really like working out at the gym and - dare I say it- walking on the treadmill. Ok, I can't take it- I have to end this on a high note ---!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I peeked!

I did not get to weigh in last Friday so I peeked today. I ate horribly last night. I made funeral potatoes but tried to make them more healthy. I used 98% fat free cream of chicken soup and light sour cream and 1/2 the butter the recipe calls for. Well they tasted great! Too great, I kept eating them. I need to remember that I just have to stay away from some things. It is like people telling me dessert is ok if I just eat one bite -- I can't stop once I start and so I just can't start! My weight was not good but I am not upset, I still lost but only one pound. I figure with traveling and not working out but one time last week, that is ok. I really was worried that I had gained! I plan to hit the gym every day this week so that on Friday I can have some more loss, 2 or 3 pounds would be great. Wish me luck.

Happy Birthday To Me

I did it! On my birthday I get to say that I am back to the 60s. I weighed in at 269, I am glad to see it. I am getting the hang of this. I am no longer thinking in terms of 100 pds, that is too big, I am now looking at 10 pds at a time, my new goal is 259. Also today I walked on the treadmill for 25 minutes and I did it at a 3 speed the whole time. I spent the last 5 minutes at a 3 incline too. It is the first time I have done any incline and that was fun. It kind of hurt my ankles but I made it and it was worth it for that number.
