Day 10 175.5

Well today is going much much much better then yesterday. I ate good yesterday and stayed on plan all day! When I got off work yesterday I went to the grocery store to make sure I was stocked with plenty of good food choices for the upcoming holiday weekend. I am so good when I am at work all week but the second the weekend hits I shove everything into my mouth I can and I am NOT doing that anymore. I feel prepared. After I got home I cleaned out the fridge and wiped that all down... it sparkles now :) Then I changed clothes and headed for the gym. I hadnt been there in so long it was a little scary but I did it I went. I took the latin dance class they offer and it kicked my a$$. I love that class. I was nice and sweaty when I left there. When I got home I made dinner and hung out with hot rod for a little bit and we had a little making up to do so hopefully I can add that to my workout to. Then I took Lucky for a walk and came home and passed out. I was so tired! I even overslept this morning even though I am not sure how that happened.

Anyway I am looking forward to the weekend and having 4 days off!! Whaaooo! What is everyones plans? Tomorrow I am watching my nephew in the morning and then Kris my soon to be sister in law is going to come over and we are going to layout next to the pool... the baby pool that is...lol then our friends are coming over and we are going to have a bbq before our volleyball game tomorrow night since its not till 10. Saturday I need to make a graduation cake for Sunday and then work...uhh at the bar and then Sunday we have the graduation party to attend and then Softball that night. I am not sure what else we have planned I am sure a few more things will come up! Well once again I am sorry for not having any pictures I cant remember to get my camera back... oh well.

Day 9 - 176

What a hard 2 days... it seems like when I think everything is going right they take a turn for the worse. My heart is breaking and i cant stand to be here today. I want everything to be ok and I want everything to go back to normal. I feel like all I can do is cry right now. Everything I have worked so hard for is going down in flames right in front of me. I pray things will be ok. I just need to hang in there and concentrate on doing whats best for me. Thanks for the support.

Day 8

Well the last 2 days have been going great eating wise and working out wise. Yesterday I had a banana and an english muffin with a little peanut butter for breakfast and then for lunch I had a healthy choice soup and for dinner I had a little rice with taco meat and some fruit then when I got home I was so hungry so I had a fat free 100 calorie chocolate pudding and it was yummy! I took Lucky to the park and walked the loop and I think we walked about 4 miles but it was hilly so it was a good workout and Lucky was worn out. Today I had oatmeal for breakfast and I didnt eat a snack because I went to a birthday lunch today and we went so early for me. I went to O charleys and didnt eat any rolls!!!! Thats amazing. I had a salad with low fat ranch and a half a turkey sandwich on wheat and it was pretty good. I am eating an apple now and will probably have soup for dinner because tonight is such a busy night. Tonight I have to rush home to go to Rodneys game at 6 and then after that I am going to come home and take Lucky on a 30 min walk eat some dinner and then head out to volleyball because our game isnt till 10 tonight... But it will be an active night and I am thankful for that. I am trying to kick my a$$ in gear so that I can get these pounds off and take a lead in the contest. I want to win! And I want to be skinny so I can wear a yellow polka dot bikini by at least middle to end of June and look HOT!!! So today I am going to post the results of this weeks weigh in so we can all see what I am working with. I keep meaning to add some pictures because I like blogs with pictures but the bf has my camera for work :(

Days 4, 5, 6, and 7 Todays Weigh In 180

- 2 pounds... Yay for me! I was really hoping it would be like 5 pounds but I will take 2 over gaining or not losing. I need to get out of the 180's and back into the 170's. I have a hard time even saying that because I was holding steady at 173 for a while and so then I was just trying to get into the 160's. But I will get there... slowly but I will get there! Today is the 18th and I am aiming to be down to down 10 pounds by June 4th. Thats 17 days I think I can do it. I just have to try hard and resist temptation which I can do. The reason I say June 4th is because that is the true kick off to summer for me. That is Frontieers Day in Milford and I always see so many people I know and I dont want to be the size I am now so I just need to work super hard to get down to that weight! Thats only 2 more weigh ins so I am going to have to work very hard! And there is a holiday this weekend which I love because I have a 4 day weekend but its hard to eat good on the weekends much less a 4 day weekend with lots of grill outs! I will have to make great choices! I am so happy that summer is almost here but I wish I would have started this out a few months ago! I think I am actually going to aim for 11 pounds to get me into the 160's lol! It sounds so much better! And so much closer to my goal which is 155 but I might have to adjust that when I get lower.
I did ok this weekend better then what I was doing but it is hard when there is so many parties and things going on. I have decided that I need to walk 45 mins every day this week and that should help getting the scales moving. I will only have one coke this week and I am going to save that for Sunday. With getting out and walking and all the stuff I have going on I should be able to pull out a pretty good number this week and knock my size 14's and my competion out of here for good :) Well off to mow the grass and take Lucky to the park for our 45 min walk he is going to be pooped! Have a great day and thanks for hanging in there with me!

Day 3

Well things are going good on this end although I am drinking a coke as I talk... I had such a headache from going cold turkey that I gave in and I dont feel bad because I am doing good and I am working hard. Eating has been going pretty good and I cleaned and cleaned last night and even broke a sweat ha ha so I know i had to have burned some calories. Anyway just a quick blog to check in with everyone.

Yesterday
oatmeal with a little splenda
banana
subway sandwich (jareds choice) turkey and ham
salmon patty
mashed potatos
mixed veggies
corn muffin

Today
oatmeal with splenda
apple
subway chicken sandwich with lots of veggies - soooo good

Day 2

So I am not going to weigh myself every day because thats a little too much so maybe every 3 days just so I can see where I am for the week and not lose track of what I am doing. The scale is always a good reminder of why I am doing this. I am so excited that all the women I work with are taking a step towards a better and healthier life and I am so excited that I get to be a part of this. I feel really inspired to be healthy and get my self in shape. Tonight I am going to take my bikini pictures so please be ready to see those tomorrow. Also I am going to start packing my lunch so tonight I am going to the store and will prepare the food that I buy to bring with me by bagging it out into portions so I can just grab them and go. This could not have come at a better time for me, its like every time I am down in life god pops in and shows me the way and I am so gratedul to have him to trust to show me the way. Anyway hopefully it stops raining so I can take Lucky on a nice long walk tonight after I do my 30 day shred video.

So far: Oatmeal plain - 150 calories

Water

Rewind- Day 1 of 57 182 pounds

So I was doing great till I got sick this past week and it has taken me down but I am back and better then ever because..... I joined the biggest loser contest at work! My goal is 25 pounds in the next 8 weeks or 3.125 pounds a week. This is going to be hard and I am going to want to quit but I paid $20 to get in this contest and I am not going to quit. I am not going to let the people I work with come in above me. I am going to be slow and steady and make sure that I keep trucking along. So to go over my rules again....


No coke except for on Sundays.
I will write down everything I eat.
I will try to stick to 1200 calories
I will work out almost everyday following my schedule.
I will start walking on my lunch breaks when I am not busy.


Wish me luck. Tonight I will take pictures of myself and post them. Every 2 weeks I will retake the pictures.
