A Weight Update

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

I haven’t been posting many weight updates.  So, here’s one in case you’re wondering where I’m at.

This week I lost TWO pounds!  I couldn’t believe it!

My current weight is 235.2.  So, my total loss from when I began weight watchers is -2.6.  But, my loss from when I first started back at Weight Watchers is 4 pounds.  I am pretty proud of myself but I know I can do better.

Also, like I said yesterday my birthday is coming up.  My 26th year will be a year full of changes for me whether it is moving, to my mom moving, to graduating, and finding my first “real” job.

I’m not going to lie I am excited about all of these changes.  But, the one I am most excited for is the change that is happening within me, my weight loss.  I know I can do it, I have lost weight before.  I just need support, motivation and a little help from my friends.

A Life Change

Tuesday, April 19th, 2011

When I sit back and look at what I am trying to accomplish with this weight loss…a few things come to mind.

I want to be healthy, obviously and live a long and healthy life.

I want to have children, and, yeah, I guess get married too.

I want to feel beautiful.  I honestly don’t know that I have ever felt that…and I am turning 26 on Friday.  That is pretty sad.

I want to go and buy a gorgeous dress and feel just as gorgeous in it.

I guess I don’t really feel comfortable in my own skin and I don’t really know how to do that.

I know that each day I’m learning something about myself.  I know that each day that I make a healthy choice I feel better about myself.  I know that I can lose this weight.  My goal is to lose 100 pounds.  I’d like to be about 135-137, and I’d like to be there before I graduate…I know that won’t happen because that is only 8 months away.

But, if I can start to put in the effort that my body deserves…I will get there.

Eventually…

Weigh In and #7DayChip

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

Original Weight Watchers Starting Weight:  237.8 lbs

Last Weigh in 3/22/11:  239.2

Weigh in on 3/29/11: 237.8

Loss/Gain: -1.4 lbs

Well, I am back to where I was when I first joined Weight Watchers.  I am hoping this week goes a bit better.  I have my meals planned out for the day and I think I will be just fine.  In other news I started doing the #7DayChip and here are my goals:

  1. To plan  what I eat and stay on track.
  2. To not binge.
  3. Exercise for 30 minutes 4 days out of the 7 days.

I am also still working on a challenge for April…I guess I should hustle!

Uhm, yuck.

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

I went back to Weight Watchers for the first time since February 8th.  I knew I had gained but had no idea how much.  Here’s how it looks:

Original Weight Watchers Starting Weight:  237.8 lbs

Last Weigh in 2/8/11:  232.2 lbs

Weigh in on 3/22/11: 239.2 lbs

Loss/Gain: +7 lbs

Blah.  I was shocked and disgusted that I had let myself gain that much.  I know I can do this and if I stay on the program I will be okay and lose but to let myself get back to even MORE than where I started?!  That’s pathetic.  I am back on the diet train today…even though I forgot to pack breakfast and lunch.  I will just track everything and make sure I’m staying within my points range and drinking water.  That means I have to go off the soda, and that also means that I’m going to avoid pop at all costs until graduation.  Can I do it? Yes, but it won’t be easy.  Also, I am in the process of coming up with a challenge for April…stay with me…

Back on the diet I goooo

Sunday, March 20th, 2011

After a month (or so) of slacking and not attending meetings I’m going back on the diet.  According to the Wii Fit I weighed…236.3.  Not the best, but not the worst it could have been either.  i have my meal plan complete for the week and I’m hoping to be able to find some new foods that will keep me fuller and keep me from snacking so often.

Also, I am going to start putting more recipes up.  I will only post them if they’re delicious and I’m a big fan.

I do want to post my weekly goals so here goes:

  1. Workout for 30 minutes 4 times this week.
  2. Track EVERYTHING!
  3. Post at least three times a week.
  4. Attend weight watchers meeting.
  5. Stay focused on school and homework.
  6. Meal plan for next week.

This is just a quick note checking in…I have a ton of homework to get to so I must go.  B
