Weigh in tomorrow

Tomorrow is my next weigh in. I am a little nervous--as usual.  I always feel that if I do not do what I think I should do on the scale that I have failed in a way. I know that any loss is a good thing, but as I sit here and watch the Biggest Loser on my DVR and I see the massive amounts of weight loss they post week after week it is hard to keep in mind that one or two pounds is great!

I will post my results tomorrow! I am trying to think positive thoughts for tomorrow!!

New exercise plan

At the school I work at we offer a program called Girls on the Run. My niece is doing it this season so I have decided to go and help. Let me tell you on Tuesdays and Thursdays I get the workout of my life!! Biggest Loser needs to incorporate these kinds of things! The girls are in better shape than I am. I am supposed to be there to encourage them and I think that they encourage me more!! :) 


There is a 5K fun run in May that we are training  for with GOTR so in May I will be running/walking a 5K in Forrest Park!! Wish me luck as of today it seems like an unattainable goal! 

New Goal Bring It On!

Since I met my 5% goal it is now time to focus on a new goal and that is (drum roll please) to lose 10% of my body weight. I did the math today and I am 11.5 pounds away from that. I have been losing ,on average, 2.4 pounds a week. So my goal is to get rid of this extra weight in 6 weeks! 


I can do this, I know I can. With the help and support of my family and friends I have no doubt I will crush this goal like I did my 5% goal. My husband told me that when I get my 10% goal he has a surprise for me:) ! I am not sure what that surprise is yet, but I know that it will be awesome! 


Soon I will post my before picture and every few weeks I am going to post an update picture. That way I will not only be accountable at my meetings but  I will be accountable on my blog as well. 

Week 7 and I made my first goal!

I am a very happy girl today. I made my 5% weight loss goal of 13 pounds today. I crushed it actually because I have lost a total of 14.6 pounds! My next goal is to lose 10% of my body weight which would be a total of 26 pounds and I'm only 11 pounds away from that! I CAN DO THIS!! 


I have the support of my family. They are very uplifting. When I have a bad week the mantra is "Well you lost weight...thats good!" If it were not for my family I do not think I would have made it this far. My poor husband had to listen to my rants when I only lost 0.6 and 0.4 pounds. He keeps me focused, he keeps me on plan, he keeps me sane! 


I have a new mantra of my own that I repeat to myself everyday. "I am excited, I am motivated, and I can do this!" I am so tired of being fat and unhealthy it is time to turn a corner and baby I am on my way! 

Another Week, Another Weigh-in

So I have another weigh in this week. I currently have lost 11.2 lbs in 6 weeks! I am nervous for this weigh in because I have not been tracking as much as I should. I was really good about it and now I need to think of another way, just online is not working for me because I tend to forget, maybe online and paper tracking would help, not sure.
