I'm Losing Weight!!!

Well, I am down to 170!!! Oh, it's been so long since I have been 170........

For those of you who do not know, I started a job!!!! I am cleaning houses with an old friend of mine who started her own business years ago. I used to clean with her before I got my STNA License and had babies.

She needed full-time help and I needed a job so it worked out!!! I work Tuesday-Friday and some Mondays.

This is some seriously hard work. We clean anywhere from 4-7 hours a day depending on how many houses we have that day. And there really is no time for eating unless it is a cereal bar or a poptart in between jobs. And by the evening I am to pooped to even eat anything.

Now don't get me wrong, I do eat a light dinner and a snack but the weight is just dropping off right now.

I started last Tuesday and my weight was between 176-177 and only 1 week later, I am 170!!!!

I know I prolly won't continue to lose weight so fast but I sure do like it now.

So I guess I will be buying some more clothes or having them taken in!!!

Hello (Hello, Hello, Hello) That was an Echo:)

Because I havn't wrote on this blog in so long I am not sure if anyone is still here!!!! So if it takes awhile to get any comment love, I understand:)

I am now right at 175 and I am not sure what to do. You see, I just accumulated a lot of very nice clothing throughout this past year. Lots and lots of very cute skirts and shirts.

I am afraid of losing weight now. I don't want to grow out of my skirts. I mean I did pay $40.00 a pop for them and I have about 6. Thats a lot of money from where I from. I mean I think I could get them taken in, but would that make them look or fit funny?!?!

I would love to drop about 15 pounds for summer. My shirts would still fit fine, maybe a little baggy but I like them that. It's just my skirts that won't. Also it will cost me about $15.00 each to get them taken in. What do you think I should do? I really want some input here.

And if I do decide to drop the 15 pounds, I am going to need all of the support I can get because I have a SWEET TOOTH!!!!

So drop me some comments and let me know what you all think!!!!

Hello Weight Loss World!!!!

Ok, so I know it has been a long time since I last posted. You see I really haven't been dieting and exercising.

And I have been WAY bad. not a lot of food but all the wrong kinds of food. I actually wouldn't even get on a scale. Seriously, it has been like 3 weeks since I got one one.

Well I decided to get on today and see the damage..........................I was fine!!! I was still between 170-171, so needless to say I am VERY happy!! I am not sure if I will continue to lose weight but I do know that I want to focus on not gaining any!!!!

You See That Widget On My Side Bar?

You know, the one that says next weigh-in? I may just have to skip this weigh in. Talk about a BAD week, although it was a YUMMY week. I am not even going near that thing because I know what it;s going to say. It's going to say, "Amy, LAY OFF THE CHOCOLATE!!!!, Now get off of me, your heavy!"

I really do struggle with this weight loss thing because I do not dislike my body image as is. I mean my husband loves me just the way that I am. I would be helpful if he would just tell me how fat and unhealthy I look sometimes, but he won't. No, i'm just joking, He really is happy with how I am.

Anyway, what was I saying?...................Oh, yea, it's just hard for me to keep motivated. The only true motivating thing is, is that I feel sick top my stomach when i eat too much or the wring things.

For instance, I hate how I feel right now, bloated, tired and just plain old run down. I had like 5 pieces of chocolate for breakfast, Yea, I'll never do that again!!

Anyway, I am not sure if I will weigh-in or not but I will definitely keep you guys posted!!

Wordle

I found a cool new website tat takes your blog and randomnizes words you have used. Heres mine.

Weigh-In Monday

Well I am.........................The Same:)

I am a little disappointed, I was almost in the 160's, A place I have not been for A LONG time and hopefully I will be there some day soon. As for today, I am 172.

It's Not Going To Be Good

So after losing 4 pounds in about 3 week, I have started to back slide. i let my eating and exercise go this week and now the scale says i'm back to 174. I will wait till my official weigh-in on Monday to log it and maybe just maybe I will have gotten another pound off by then.

My weight loss journey has been so bumpy filled with high's and low's. I just hope I can continue to make little changes in my lifestyle and I know that eventually someday, it WILL pay off.

Thanks for all of your encouragement, I NEED it!!!

Weigh-In Monday

Today I am...............172!!!!!! Yay, that is definitely 2 pounds gone and the scale actually looked like it was more in the 171 but i will wait until next week for that. For now I am good with a 2 pound loss!!

My Journey

I was just sitting here thinking about how slow I am losing weight. I know that if I only watched what I eat and exercised more that I would lose it much faster, but that's just not for me. I am a girl that likes to eat.

Now, I am definitely trying to change some of my bad habits, like binge eating. I am also drinking a lot more water.

I figure that I am Ok with losing weight at this speed. If I keep this up I am sure that I can even be around 150 by this time next year, and that is definitely Ok with me.

I do not really dis-like my body as is, so that has a lot to do with the fact that i am losing it slowly. I just know that I would, health wise, feel a lot better when it's gone.

Anyway, stay tuned for Weigh-In Monday...............Maybe I will be down a pound or half a pound;)

Weigh-In Monday

.................Drum Roll Please........................174!!!! yay, that is definitely 1 pound gone and I finally broke through a rough spot. The scale actually looked a little below 174 but It's analog so it's hard to read sometimes. All I know is that is was definitely way below 175!!!

BTW~ I ended up using the cereal called "Just Bunches" for granola and it worked out great!!

I Need Some Help

I am looking for some Low-Fat Granola that you can buy at the store. I do not want to make my own. So any brands or stores that you know of, please let me know!!

Thanks!!

P.S I am wanting to make those fruit & yogurt parfaits that you get at McDonalds.

O.K, I Had My Fun

I peeked at the scale today and it said I was down almost 2 pounds............but............. I had a few snacks today. Like Pizza, Ice Cream & Cookies :) Now I know that's not good but it has been a LONG time since I had yummy stuff.

Don't worry it's out of my system and hopefully when I do weigh in on Monday, I will see a loss.

**Fingers Crossed**

Weigh In Monday

175.....Yup you read it right. Not one pound gone. Oh I lost 2 pounds right off the bat but that was over a month a ago and I have lost nothing else. I am trying to stay positive but it's really hard!!!!

On a good note. I bought a pair of pants the other day and I never wear pants and they were a size 14, which I thought I would wear a 16. And I also got a shirt in an x-large ad I had to go down to a large.

So anyway I will try to focus on that instead of not seeing the loss.

I wanted to write a post to Kasey to thank her for my very first blog award!!! Yay!!! Sorry I couldn't go along with all of the rules like posting my likes and such but I am very happy and thrilled that you would think of me. :)

We are With Wii

We finally got our Wii tonight!!!! I have been calling Toys R Us everyday since Christmas and they just finally today got some in.

We had to get it from Toys R Us because we got a lot of gift certificates for there from Christmas.

Anyway, I haven't even played it yet but tomorrow night looks like Wii Night!!

Still Here

I haven't' been doing to good in the losing weight thing. I have been eating Ok and getting to Curves when I can but it's just not enough.

Right when I signed up for Curves my step-dad got put in Icu and my mom was the one who offered to baby-sit for me while I went. But now she spends her time working or at the hospital or dealing with things at home. So last week, I went 1 time :( I could go in the evening when Jim gets home but that messes up dinner and our evening.

I have been doing good on my eating. No binge eating here!!! That's good for me ;)

Friday is a new weigh in day for me!! **Fingers Crossed**

Weigh-In Friday

175.................again..................ugghhhh!!!!

I am going to start logging all of the food I eatso I know what in the world is going on. I have exercised, I don't feel like I am over eating. I counted calories for a year so I am still kinda do it in my head.


Bottom line...........I HAVE GOT TO LOSE SOME WEIGHT!!!!!

Not Eating Well

......Well I have been havng some serious thing going on lately. my step-dad being in the ICU and my daughter breaking her finger and other things that I just can't blog about so eating has not been that great.

I am not binge eating or anything but when I do eat, it's fast food or pizza. If it's fast food, I usually just get a kids meal for portion control and if it's pizza, I only eat 2 pieces.

Exercise has still been going good though, so at least hopefully I won't gain. Oh, and all the stairs I have to do at the hospital is awesome!!!!!

Well Friday will be my weigh in day so we will see;) Wish Me Luck!!!

Yay Me!!!

Well just when I thought I wouldn't go to Curves today, I went at the last minute. As soon as my husband came home, I went!! Yay, 30 min of cardio & strength training.

I skipped the stretching but I really needed to get going!!!

I hope to do really well this week and hopefully I will see a change in the scale..........

Follow Me

Well I just added the "Follow Me" button on my side bar so you can watch me on my journey. It is also encouraging to me to know that people actually care. I need that kind of accountability.

I need to know that people are tuning in on Friday's for my weigh-in's. It makes me want to reach it even harder.

I didn't get to go to Curves today due to no baby-sitter but my sister offered to come over tomorrow morning so I could go. Which is good because I went to Olive Garden tonight for dinner!!! Will someone give me a swift kick in the behind!!!! I NEED to get on the ball with this eating thing.

Now in my own defense, I ordered the Alfredo pizza and only ate 2 small pieces and took the rest home for hubby to eat:) Also had a couple bread sticks and a bowl full of their yummy salad.

Ok, really, It's time to get on the ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, Yea the meaning of this post was to encourage you to "Follow Me" on my side bar, Thanks;)

Weigh-In Friday

Still 175...............But really, that is Ok with me. I didn't gain any over Christmas and New Years Eve. So now it's timeto REALLY kick it up a notch and start counting my calories and getting to Curves!!
