Weigh In 2/18/13

Weight loss this week: 1.1 lbs
Total weight loss so far: 88.7 lbs

I am thrilled that I lost because I struggled this week.

I had two days of over-indulgence...Valentine's Day being absolutely awful. I reverted to fat kid status and heavily indulged in pizza and bread sticks and cinnamon sticks and ice cream. Bad news.

Top that off with only 2 days at the gym...I thought I was done for.

I am hoping that I have a better week. I had a lapse of judgement with some donuts yesterday (I had the day off and...well...bad news bears) but I did well outside of that and today was good too. I am worried about the gym...I didn't go yesterday or today. I will find a way to exercise tomorrow but it may not be the gym (I have book club right after work so it'll depend on what time that ends). I will also make sure I go Thursday and Friday at least.

I really would like to be down 90lbs when I go to California on the 1st. That only leaves me with really one week to hit that...I need to lose 1.3lbs by Monday...so we'll see what happens. I just think it would be amazing to see my family and tell them that I've lost 90lbs! Last time I saw all of them, I was down 50lbs...almost double that is pretty sweet.

I'm just continuing to push through and work to not allow bad moments to derail me completely.

Weigh In 2/11/13

Weight loss this week: 1.1 lbs
Total weight loss so far: 87.6 lbs

I am super excited that I lost this week. I didn't hit the gym at all with the exception of meeting with the trainer (which didn't really count as exercising so much as designing my plan). I was on point for the most part throughout the week with food and I am thrilled that I continue inching closer to my goal.

I am only 11.5 lbs away from being under 200 lbs and I am so anxious. I am obviously excited...but I am also quite nervous. I honestly have no clue how long its been since I was under 200 lbs. I feel like I'm becoming a totally different person and I am worried people will respond negatively towards that. Which is so silly...because I have THE MOST supportive family and friends out there!!! I think such big changes, even when they are over time, can be scary and I'm starting to feel the effects.

Either way...I am still pushing and still moving forward.

Weigh In 2/4/13

Weight loss this week: 1.8 lbs
Total weight loss so far: 86.5 lbs

I lost...and I'm happy. I hit the gym 3 days last week and did pretty well with eating. I didn't track the party and I know I probably went over on points but thankfully I had the majority of my weeklies left and I was good the rest of the week.

I scheduled an appointment with a personal trainer at my gym for tomorrow night. I have a weight lifting program but I'm really not happy with it. I don't like using weight machines and I'd like to learn some exercises that incorporate weights and toning throughout the whole body. So I'm hopeful that the meeting tomorrow will help push me to incorporate more than just cardio into my routine.

I have had some pretty amazing compliments from people this week. My dad expressed how impressed he is with how much weight I've lost and I've had multiple co-workers and friends comment on the way I look. It reminds me that, while I may not have made it as far as I initially wanted, I have made a lot of progress. I've never given up...I've never walked away. I may have fallen down more times than I can count but I have always gotten back up again. I will continue to push because I know I can do this.
