Morning Naked Weigh In - Week 12


This morning I weighed in at 254.4lbs.
That is a 3.6 lb loss for the week. 
This week also marks the end of a month,
bringing my total MONTHLY loss to: 8.8lbs.

My TOTAL LOSS so far is: 
45.4 Pounds!

This week I worked out at the gym 
several days and did some weights.
I started my period night before last,
so wasn't expecting much of a loss
for the week, because typically
TOM brings water weight gain,
so I'm very HAPPY to see a nice loss
this week!!

New Gym Found

Yesterday I joined a new gym.
This one is Local, Open 24 hours,
and is CHEAPER than what I'm paying
now for the gym through Work, which
has limited hours, and that I've been 
having trouble getting to. 
I joined the new gym yesterday, 
and will cancel my other gym membership 
tomorrow.

NO MORE EXCUSES!!

THIS WILL BE THE YEAR 
I FINALLY ACHIEVE MY 
GOALS OF WEIGHT LOSS
AND FITNESS!!

Feeling Super Positive today!

That's a 3.4lb loss for the week.
Total loss so far:

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's Off To The DMV We Go!

 Tonight, I spent a little over 2 hours
with my 17yr old, while she practiced
driving and parallel parking.  She takes
her Drivers Test in the Morning.
OH I HOPE SHE PASSES!!
Yet, at the same time, the thought of
her driving scares me to death. 

Even now, every wreck I hear about, 
and any ambulance I see, I have to 
text her to see where she is and make sure
she is ok, SO AFRAID it is one of her 
friends and she's in the car with them.

These are some SCARY YEARS for parenting!!
I have a 19yr old, so have been through this
once already..... it hasn't gotten any easier.
I think the older the kids get, the harder it is.
 
Regardless of my fears.....
 
GOOD LUCK BABY GIRL!!!
 
I'll be on pins and needles at the DMV until 
y'all arrive back safe and sound, with a PASSING grade.

Do You Tweet?

 Do you Tweet? If so, you might find 
this interesting. I was looking to change 
the background on my Twitter page this 
past weekend, and came across a pretty
 neat website that has free twitter 
background and cover images.

The Site is called TWITRCOVERS.
Click HERE to check out their site.

I am not affiliated with this site
in any way. I did a google search and
came across them. just thought I would share.

Enjoy :)

Morning Naked Weigh In - Week 10


This was a disappointing week.
Monday after my official Weigh In
the scale was up to 262.0.  Tuesday
it was back down to 261.0,
Wednesday it was 261.2, Thursday 261.2, 
Friday it jumped to 262.4, remained there 
Saturday, and this morning it was 261.4. 
So I walk away this week with a .2lb gain.
UGH.

I thought for sure I would see better results
this week.  I took healthy protein rich lunches, 
I didn't snack in between meals, and I did 
better about getting my water intake in. 
Still not enough, but better than I had been doing.  
AND I got in a short workout on Thursday, 
and my husband and I walked our butts
off yesterday... I was even sore this morning from
it.  I know this is to be expected sometimes, but
it is still a little frustrating.

I Finally Made It To The Gym!!

I finally made it to the gym today
and worked out.

 I only lasted about 25 minutes, but I 
worked up a pretty good sweat. 
15 minutes on the Treadmill, then
10 minutes on the bike.  While on the 
bike I used a feature called Chest Press
where every few minutes, it has you 
you raise your feet onto these posts
and then use the arm handles to pull your 
arms back and forth while it applies pressure 
making it hard to pull.
 
I need to work up to to the point where I am
working out at least an hour, and I need to be
sure and utilize the weights they have there.
I can only hit the gym about 3 times a week,
so I think on those days I will start using the 
weights they have there, and on the days
I am not able to go to the gym, I will go
to the school track walk/run. 

Looking forward to getting FIT!

5 Non Scale Victories So Far...

I'm finding it's the little things that occur
throughout a day that most would not think 
twice about, that really allow me to "see" that 
I have lost weight.
I don't see it in the mirror yet.
I know some changes have occurred, but
I get overwhelmed with the enormity of what 
I still have to lose, because in the mirror....
I'm still VERY OBESE. 

Here is a small list of the "Little Things" that 
have been an A-HA moment for me. 
5 Small Non Scale Victories....

1.  Yesterday at work I Had 3 people tell me 
it was time for new jeans. They said the 
ones I was wearing looked like they were about
to fall off me. 

2.  I don't have to put my car seat as far back 
in my car to keep my stomach from touching
the steering wheel anymore. 

3.  I was able to bend down and tie my own shoes 
the other day.  In public.  Without performing great feats 
of acrobatics.

4.  It is much easier to get my socks and shoes on.

5.  When I'm standing and look down,  It doesn't look 
like I have two rows of breasts anymore.
