Weight Loss: Week 4

So here we are.  I have put in 4 whole weeks and actually not cheated at all.  I am so happy with my progress.  I have stayed committed and made achievable mini goals.  I am oing to go and get my hair cut in the next week or so.  I am thinking that I may even do highlights.  That was my reward for loosing 5% of weight.  I have lost a total of 17.4 pounds in just 4 weeks.  My goal for February is to loose 10 pounds.  I think that it is a little ambitious but it is a goal and if I do not meet it I can always try again.

Success is wonderful.  It has helped me to believe that I can accomplish things.  It is something that I am really enjoying!  I am hoping that by the summer I can be 50 pounds thinner.  I think that it is a realistic goal.  One that I can achieve and it will make it much easier to have the fun I want to have this summer.  Swimming in my sister in laws pool will be a great exercise.  I think that I will be there every morning if she will let me.  A quick swim then off to my day!  We will see how I am going by that point.

All in all I am still enjoying this weight loss journey.  It has given me some confidence that I have been lacking for quite some time!  Weight is something that has always held me back.  I am breaking free from the weight and all of the things that have made me this way!  Weight is not just about eating.  It is about all of the demons in your head.  I think that I have shut those demons up for the first time in my life and it is liberating.

Don’t forget to join Becca’s Belly Busters on facebook.  I would love some more company!

Weight Loss: Week 3 Weigh-In

On Saturday I finished week three on my weight watchers, weight loss journey.  I lost 1.8 pounds this past week for a total weight loss of 13.0 pounds!  I am just so proud of myself.  It has had ups and downs this week but I am still working hard to become a healthier, thinner person.

Because I have so much to loose I do not notice a difference quite yet.   I know soon it will start to look like I have actually lost weight.  For now I am just trying to concentrate on how wonderful I have been doing.  I am a few days into week 4 and still plugging away!  I am little the little engine.  I started three weeks ago saying, “I think I can” and now I know that I have to power to make positive changes.

So, I am hoping for a larger loss this week.  This is not because I am selfish but because I had gotten my “friend” on Friday and it is typical that I gain 5 pounds of water when ever my “friend” pays a visit.  So I figure I could end this month with a total loss of 15+ pounds.

As many of you know my entire extended family have been working on this together.  It has been nice.  I started a private group just for us on facebook and supporting one another is really working.  In the past 3 weeks the the 6 of us have lost over 60 pounds!  We have lost a child!  Well you know in a matter of speaking!

Rob has been making so super delicious meals.  I am hoping to start to take pictures of our dinners and post recipes so that you can all share in loosing weight and eating great too!  It is out of this world and has made it all tolerable.

As I plug ahead I think of all I have done well in the past three weeks.  I hope to et better about water this week.  I think that each week that is my goal and each week I do not meet that goal.   Perhaps this week will be the one.  May all of your weight loss dreams come true!  I will write again soon!

Weight Loss Story Part 1

January 6, 2009 By 1 Comment

My Resolution:

Now that 2009 is here I am tackling my resolution with you.  In some ways I think that this will make it happen.  It is the 14th year that my resolution has been the same and I would like to make it happen this year.  Like millions of other people I would like to, I need to, loose weight.  I am not a mildly overweight or pleasently plump woman.  My weight is killing me and I feel it.

I think that an important part of loosing weight is discovering why you want to looke weight.  I have many reasons all of which are very important to me.

  • My girls: Everyday I discuss with my girls, especially Abigail, why we need to eat right.  I have drilled it into her hear that it is important to eat right to be healthy.  Many times I feel like a hipocrite.  I know just about everything there is to know about eating health and loosing weight.  I have many times considered being a nutritionist.  Who would go to an obese nutritionist though?  So for my girls I need to make this resolution stick.
  • My Foot: Over the summer I broke my foot in a bad place.  The Lisfranc joint is what supports your arch and wouldn’t you know that is the spot I broke two bones.  I am in need of surgery and would like to be able to bounce back a little easier.
  • My Health: At the age of 31 I am a borderline diabetic, borderline high blood preasure and who knows what else.  I think about my future.  I am dying everyday!  Each yummy treat I eat a little more of me dies.  I am killing myself and I need to stop!

We will do this together.  Join me in living a healthier life.  I will post a recipe that I have tried and liked every week and will post a picture of myself on Sundays.  Feel free to loose with me.  All we can loose is weight and all we can gain is LIFE!
