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!

Shaping Up To Be A Good Week!

This is shaping up to be a good week!

This morning I was at 200.8!!
So far this week EVERY MORNING
the scale has dropped a little bit more!!
Coaching Cheerleading is giving me
great workouts during the week!
But not so hardcore that it hinders my weightloss.

I'm HOPEFUL that I just MIGHT
hit my goal of being BELOW 200 by August 1st
but I'm not holding my breath.

Even if I do not hit that goal
I'm still going to have a good
weight loss this week.
And for that I am grateful.

17 Years of Shame Come To An End.

I am only 2 pounds away from 

reaching my 50lbs LOST goal!

The time has flown by so fast!

I began my weight loss journey

on January 3rd. 

A New Year....

A New Me.

I can't believe how far I have come

in such a short time. 

And I'm not referring

to just pounds.

I still have a long ways to go....

I need to lose another 105 pounds 

before I reach my goal....

Week13 Weigh In -

This week I lost 1.5 pounds.

That brings my total weight loss so far to 39 pounds.

39!

Soooo close to 40! 

Week 9 Weigh In -

I wasn't expecting much of a Weight Loss this week.....

And I didn't get it.

I was sick all week....

so I didn't get in ANY exercise.

None. 

But luckily, just by staying on plan with my eating

I still lost 1.5 pounds.

That brings my total loss so far to 30 pounds.

I. Will. Not. Fail.

Tonight I watched another episode of Biggest Loser Couples.

What an inspiration these people are!! 

It is hard not to watch, and not want to jump up and start exercising...

I did not get a workout in today, and I'm kicking myself for it. 

It is SO easy to slip into bad habits.  If I let one day go, I might let another day go.....  

In my defense, the allergy medicine I took today knocked me out for most of the morning.  Even after waking I felt groggy. Then my cousin came over to visit and stayed until time to take my daughter to practice.  As soon as I got home, I put the kids to bed and started watching Biggest Loser, and then Parenthood. 

I SHOULD have came home and did my workout instead.  

I have both shows DVR'd so really there is no excuse.  

But isn't it SO EASY to make up excuses for ourselves? 

To find reasons why we CAN'T? 

Week 7 Weigh In -

I lost 2.5lbs this week. 

I MET MY FIRST GOAL!!

My First 25 pounds gone Forever!! 

And Just in time for Flip Flop Weather!! 

WOOHOO!!

Not sure when I will be able to get my reward,

but for right now, I'm content with knowing that it is coming.... :)

Goals and Rewards!!

I have been thinking for a while now about what Goals and Rewards to set for myself. 
Small attainable goals will help me keep the incentive.  156 lbs to lose is SO daunting!! But I know I can do it.  I will work towards smaller goals, and as each one is reached, I will be that much closer to reaching my ULTIMATE Goal of 122!
