Daily Inspiration -

I am SORE today from my

workout yesterday....

and I guarantee I will

be even more sore tomorrow

since I worked out again today.

I did the same workout that

I posted yesterday. 

Although it hurts to walk,

go down the stairs, or even

sit on the toilet.

It is a good pain....

Because I know that

means what I am doing

is working.

And THAT makes it

WORTH IT!

You can see the workout HERE 

that I posted yesterday

and try it for yourself. :)

New Year Resolution...

It Hurts When You Fall.....

I was doing so good

for a while,

I was cooking and baking

and NOT sampling.

I avoided temptation,

and kept my focused and determined.

And then I fell off the 

Diet Wagon.

Hard.

Daily Inspiration...... Will Power.

So, SO True.....

Last night at 3:00am

I got up while the kids
were all sleeping
and made some
White Chocolate 

Covered Oreo Cookies,

and White Chocolate 

covered Pretzels to give

to the kids as Christmas gifts...

It was SO tempting to snag one... 

or two.

Just to make sure it tasted

o.k., of course ;)

Weigh In - Round 2 Week 2

I lost 3.2 lbs this week.

Woohoo!!

I'm not sure how this coming

week's weigh in will turn out...

I haven't decided if I will

stay completely on plan on

Christmas Day or not...

IF I do go off plan for the day

it will ONLY be for that 1 day.

I just can't let that 1 day

turn into 1 week.....

Mom said they are telling their

Medifast patients the same thing...

Basically, enjoy your Holiday, if 

you decide to eat Christmas Dinner 

with your family, don't beat 

yourself up over it, just 

get right back on plan the 

next day.

Slowing Down.....

My Weight Loss has started

to slow down..... which

I knew would happen.

But I still should come 

out this week with a 

pretty decent weight loss.  

 

Slowly but surely........

The best way to do it

I suppose. 

At least, that is

what I have been told. ;)

6 Months From Now....

I must remember this during

this Christmas Season as

I am baking Santa's Cookies...

Weigh In - Round 2 Week 1

I did not get the big numbers 

I was hoping for.

I ended week 1 with a 7.2 lb loss.

I'll Take That!!

I may not have hit 12 or 15 pounds

but I still had a good loss.

I'm happy with that.

I had heard you do not see

the 12 & 15 pound losses 

like you do your first week

on Round 1 of Medifast,

so I was half expecting it.

The thing for me to remember

is not to get wrapped up in 

the numbers, but to remember

that regardless of what the final 

number is at the end of the week

the IMPORTANT thing to keep in 

mind is that the numbers are

going (and STILL going)

DOWN!!!

A Runner I Am Not..... yet.

Last night I went for a walk.

I came SO close to backing out....

my usual walking buddy was not 

going to make it so I would be alone...

in the dark at the high school track.

AND I was in the middle of a cute

Christmas Show on T.V.

But I made myself go and I am

SO GLAD I did!

I didn't stay long, just 40-45 minutes...

But I got in two miles.

4 Laps around is a mile, so I 

walked laps 1-3, jogged lap 4,

walked laps 5-7, and jogged

most of lap 8.

This may not seem like much

to a seasoned runner, or someone

in shape, but this was awesome for me!

Day 5 Down 6 Pounds

Just a quick update before

I go to bed...

Today ends Day 5 on Medifast

and as of this morning I am

down 6 pounds so far...

Day 1 went great...

Day 2 I was slightly hungry....

Day 3 I was hungry ALL. DAY. LONG.

I went to bed at like 8:15 because I

was out of meals, and still hungry.

But the next morning I had dropped another

2 pounds which totally made it worth it.

I only have two more days to go

so I don't think I'll see as big a 

loss as I was hoping for....

But even if I stop at a 6pound loss

for the week, I'll be happy :)

And THIS Is Why I Love Medifast.....

I jumped on the scale 

this morning for my

Morning Naked Weigh In

and I am down slightly...

 

Granted, it is not much

only 1.8lbs and that 

is water weight,

BUT.....

It's DOWN.

on Day 2. 

And after watching the

scale go up and up,

it's thrilling to see the proof

positive that it is now

heading in the right direction.

 

Of course, Once the diet gets 

underway 1.8lbs might be

a typical loss for the entire week.

The first week on Medifast

you usually lose quite a bit...

I'm assuming the same will happen

on my second go round.

So far..... it's looking good :)

Day 1 Complete....

Day 1 is complete.

Aside from a couple of hiccups,

it was a great day!

Hiccup 1: TOM. enough said.

                  Hiccup 2:  I ate my Lean and Green late.

      I like to get it in early, but it was

              after 8:00 before I finally got to eat it.

             Hiccup 3: I did not get all my water in.

Day 1, Round 2 Starts.......... NOW

Day 1 of Round 2 starts NOW!!

I'm SO RELIEVED to be back on Medifast!!

I really did miss it.

My 'Morning Naked Weigh In' this morning

WAS NOT FUN!!!

I am so ashamed to even SAY how much 

I gained while I was off my diet.....

But.... I made a commitment to blog 

openly and honestly. 

So here goes.......

Week 33 Weigh In

What a Stressful Week!!

Earlier in the week I was at 196.2

but when I weighed in yesterday 

I was back to 197. Ugh. 

I also started TOM this morning

so part of that is weight retention. 

Not a good week :(

Week 32 Weigh In-

Week 32 Weigh In

Things have been EXTREMELY hectic lately.

In fact, they were so hectic I COMPLETELY

forgot about weighing in on Sunday. 

and Monday.

My Grandfather is in the hospital 

and not doing well at all.

Cheer stuff has also kept me VERY busy.

I've been very preoccupied lately.

I finally remembered to weigh in this morning.

While I am not sure what my "official" weigh in

was on Sunday, this morning I was at 197.

Not a good loss.

But my ankles have been swelling lately

and I have not been getting all my water in.

I'm hoping for a better week this week.

Week 31 Weigh In -

I lost 1.4 pounds last week
finally hitting my goal of 

getting UNDER 200!! 

Woohoo!!!!

My next  two "big" goals? 

1. Weigh less than my husband.

2. Lose 100 pounds.

I'm getting close to both!

ONEderland!!!

I had set myself a goal of 

reaching 199 by August 1st.

Yesterday was my official 

weigh day

and I was at 200.2

I didn't think I would hit my goal

but I jumped on the scale this 

morning and I was at 

199.0!!!!!!!!!

I DID IT!!!!

Woohoo!!!

This is going to be a 

GREAT DAY!!!

Week 30 Weigh In

This week I weighed in at 200.2

That makes a 3 pound loss for the week

and a total loss of 78 pounds. 

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.

Week 28 and 29 Weigh In -

I didn't get a chance to post

last weeks Weigh In.

So here it is below:

Week 28 - down .4lbs. Ugh.

Week 29 - down 2.8 lbs

On Saturday I was down 3.2 lbs, 

but on Sunday (Weigh Day) the scale

had gone up a little. 

I am SO CLOSE to 

ONEderland!!!!

Woohoo!! 

I don't think I'll meet my 

August 1st goal of being

below 200.....

But I'll be VERY close!!!!
