The Day After Halloween

FUDGE> i am soooo off this diet it's not even funny. I've been eating like a porky pig and to be honest I feel like crap all the time. I get my little food high and then there's my crash, which mainly consists of being pissed at everyone around me :( SO I was screaming at the scale this morning (I haven't been on it since the last time I blogged...) and I was like " I hate you, I hate this but I have to know...." so it said 217. I suppose that's not bad at all, actually at first it was at 221 but I did it like 5 more times and it kept saying 217=== so unless I magically lost 4 lbs in a minute I dont know what it could be.

So DAY 1 is starting again today, just in time before I start eating more of my children's candy. EFF YOU candy, you make me feel like crap.

Anyway- we don't have a car I can use right now and I moved to a place that's a little further away from the gym, so I haven't been working for about a month now, but I will check out some workout vids on netflix or something.

wish me luck. I wish YOU luck, self--- let's get thinner this week, please. Starts NOW.

week 13

weighed in on monday: 214. haven't been going to the gym and haven't been keeping up with this thing... moving into a new house and I've got the kids (lame excuse).

Week 11

I guess all that walking around town while I was away did me good because I am now 213.4~ yayyyy..... maybe I'll do a photo next Monday. I didn't have snacks *which is a really rare thing for me* just maybe 2 meals a day and a little something in the mornings. It was nice though I think I must've walked about 3+ miles a day!

Week 10

I weighed in on Monday and lost some more poundage,I'm now 218.6, but I haven't been to the gym, I must confess. And I'm super scared to weigh in next week because I'm going out of town and I probably wont work out. I will try to keep eating pretty good though...

It's Wed and I was already 220, I didn't or shouldn't have weighed myself today (I usually don't, just once a week) but I am feeling like I haven't been doing good lol.

SO... we'll see.

Week 9

Whatever happened to me during week 7? Between traveling to visit family and being sick, I did not make it to the gym once last week. I managed to loose weight during that time and I am now under 200 lbs. 197 to be exact. Michelle and my family have played a huge roll in my weight loss thus far and I could not do it without any of them. There are plenty more lbs to burn and hopefully we are all willing to stick this one out. I did not feel like going today and thought of every excuse in the book not to go. But when people are counting on you to be there, it's hard to say NO! I know I will be hurting in the morning but we have to concur this soreness. Michelle and I are taking our first boxing class tomorrow and then checking out a new health food shop for lunch afterwords. Hopefully we can make a lunch stop more often. It'll be one meal where we can encourage each other to be GOOD. And hopefully be the little angel that sits on one another's shoulder when we want to be bad with food!


Week 9,... week 8 was when I was at disney world and didn't get a chance to take our photos, I weighed in and didn't gain OR lose. (No gym the whole week but plenty of walking)/ I tried my best at watching what I ate, but I guess the few bites of a burger weren't great for losing weight !

So I was happy with the weight though, not gaining is great news. This week I was 222.4, lost 1.6 lbs and I need to get my butt to the gym more often.

week 7

weight: 224.8 yikes! awesome. Thank you Becky for being there for me, I AM FINALLY doing this~~~~

Week 6

Phew! I cut my hair last week and I lost a pound (weighed myself the next day) BUT despite that, I still lost 3 lbs. Current weight is 227.4! From the 240, I feel great and super ecstatic. Becky and I had a crazyyyy ab class this morning, I was dying. The instructor warned us about getting out of bed tomorrow. Yeah, I think we will have to just roll out. lol.

I'm looking forward to getting our fat analysis done again here in a few weeks :-)

PS notice a difference? its just the tight spandex pants holding in the rolls







I couldn't feel a difference but I am starting to SEE a difference. Seeing the progress 6 weeks has given us helps visualize progress and is the perfect encouragement for us to reach our goals. Seeing is believing. I can tell Michelle is dropping lbs like it's her business!! I am so proud of us. After we reach our goal weights, we need a girls night to go out and eat a lobster tail, steak or something. Mmm, she's going to see me working extra hard at the gym today! And it is the morning for me post crazy ab class and it hurts a little but to the gym we go today. Hopefully we can start going to this same instructor twice a week. She really knows her stuff and I like that. I've lost 1 lb. That puts me at 201 lb even after a fun weekend of not eating as great as I normally do. But definitely watched portions.
