Losing It

I am so excited because I weighed myself today for January.  I am officially down 13.4 lbs.  This is a great feeling to know that I have lost that much.  I know that I can keep up the good work as long as I keep my mind stuck on staying strong.

I know that the exercise is helping, I also know that eating better has helped me out.  I know that this is not going to be a trend all year, but I do hope that I can continue achieveing my goals each day and each month.

I have set my Feburary goal to lose 10 lbs.  With a few less days in Feburary it might be difficult, but it will be worth it.

I have challenged myself to do something that I have never done before, run.  I know that this is going to be a challenge, but it is going to be worth it, and I need to stick to it.

I have not seen many changes in the way I look yet, however I know that they will come with time, and that eventually I will see some amazing changes that I have wanted to see for years.

With all of the different changes that can be out  there.  I am going to lose this weight and change my life for the better!

I went to Curves tonight, and I made sure that I am working hard.  I decided that I wanted to step on the scale before I left.  I am so glad that I did.  3 more lbs gone.  I am down to 277.

I will never weight more than 280 again in my life.  I know it.  I am working hard.  I can keep doing it.  One step at a time, one pound at a time.

I am working out very hard.  I am making changes in my life.  I can do it.  I know it.  By making sure that I keep working out 4 days each week, I know that I will make a difference in my life.

Last week I had an eye opening experience.  I had decided to get myself measured and weighed.  It was scary to see the results.  I never considered what I was doing to myself, until I had seen what was in front of me.  Now it is time to make a change.

I started with cutting out eating at night.  At first this was a difficult change, but now, it has become so much easier.

I have started drinking more water.  Not as much as I would like, but much more than I have been.

I am making positive changes to help improve my weight.

I am going to just continue to focus on both areas.  I know that there are so many more that I need to focus on, but these are two that are good places to start.

I know that as long as I continue on this path I will start seeing more results.

I went to Curves tonight, and decided that it was time to start getting weighted and measured again.  It is important to me to start lose this extra weight, but I am having difficulties getting motivated and finding the time to make it to the gym.  I need to start making changes now.

So here are the results I have.  The last time I was weighed was December 2007, so almost 9 months have past.

These results are embarassing.  I have no one to blame, accept for myself.  I knew what I was doing.  Now I have a large battle on my hands.  I need to lose over 100 lbs.

So another Monday rolls around and yet another week where I am gaining and not losing.  I am not sure what to do or how to fix this problem.

So here is my weight this week:

  Yes 277.2  I have gained again.

I know that I am not perfect but I am not understanding why I continue to go up and not down.

I went to the doctor today for other issues and brought this up.  She ran some tests and hopefully later this week I will have an answer on what is going on and why this is happening.  I hope to have an answer soon.

I think that I had too many goals last week and gave up, so I am starting again - my only goal this week is to drink my water.

I Stepped on the scale this morning…

  Yes you see the number right.  It is 275.4

I gained weight this past week.

Yes it was a little less then a pound, well .2 less then a full pound

My review of last week - too much sweets, not enough water, not enough exercise

Changes for this week:

1. Drink my water
2. Do some exercise with the boys and dog every day this week
3. Go to curves 4 days this week
4. Stay away from sweets
5. Find a better way to deal with stress

I can do it, I will do it.  I had a set back but I can learn from it.

Here is to great results for next week

I need to get serious about my weight loss. To do this I need to start to weigh myself. I need to start to post the my weight once a week. Now Monday is my weigh in day! So to day I went to the awful scale and stepped on it - 274.6. Better than I thought it would be but I know that I need to work harder.

After seeing this picture from vacation it made me think. I hated seeing it, and I now know that I need to start work harder to help me lose the weight. When we are on our vacation next year I want to take this picture again and see what I look like then. I am planning that I will weigh less and it will look so much better.

Now that I am home from vacation it is time to get my butt back in gear and start to watch what I eat. I can do it and I will successfully loose this weight.
