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!!
