Week 6 (Feb 9, 2015 - Feb 15, 2015)

It's OFFICIAL!!!!

I'm back down to ONE-derland!!!!!

I weighed in on Monday at 198.9lbs.

Its an amazing feeling to be able to be back down in the 100's.

I'd love to be down to 189 by St. Patrick's Day (next month). I'd love it even more if I can get there before then though!

I tried to use the gym at the college on Monday. It was a bit overwhelming since I've never had a gym membership. I've never done the gym thing.
When I was in the CG, I just stuck with the treadmills and such. I never touched the weights because they were a bit scary.

They still are to me.

And it's not because I don't want to use them. I do! I just don't know how to. And if you know me, you know I'm stubborn and will refuse to ask for help.

But I did what I could in the gym.

On Tuesday, my son had a school event that evening. While I was there with my parents. My mother looked away from me, and then couldn't find me. She didn't recognize me even though I was standing right in front of her. She said I have lost that much weight :D


On Wednesday I had to make goodies for my son's pre-k class for their Valentine's Day party on Thursday.
It was sooooooo hard to not eat the whole batch of white chocolate cherry fudge.
I wanted it all!!!!! But I didn't. I was good.  But I did lick the spoon :D

Wednesday was also the last day for my boot camp class. Yes, my Groupon had come to an end.
I loved my classes there! They were a lot of fun! I figured that I would do my best with utilizing the school gym. If I don't like it, then I will go back and get myself a membership.

Saturday was Valentine's Day, my first REAL cheat day!!! Oh how I was looking forward to this day!!
I went out to a lovely Italian restaurant and had PASTA!!! And I even had a drink while at dinner! I also had a salad, and wait for it.... wait for it!!!! CHEESECAKE!!
nomnom heaven!!
I also was able to have a few drinks (completely moderate and safe) while I was out after dinner.

It was just what I needed as a break from this to be able to get back on track!

Saturday was amazing in every way, and will earn its own blog in my personal blog, when I get the chance to write about it.

Now, I completely slacked this week in regards to pictures and measurements.... so y'all will just have to wait till next entry to see how my progress is coming along!

Weight Loss Crafts 2:5

I made it to Friday ! And better yet, I survived to tell the tale. It's just been a busy and eventful week that I cannot wait to spend it at the beach all weekend. I figured I'd go there Saturday after I hit the gym, and then on Sunday too. I love taking myself to the beach. I go, do my thing, take naps, read, watch the waves... Its life!   Lets just see if the weather holds up. So my work jeans are pretty big on me. Even with a belt, they just don't sit right. But I'm not quite yet ready to go down a size. Instead, I made my pants adjustable! I cut 2 holes on the inside of the waistband and put elastic in there. I secured one end, and left the other end "free". I sewed on a button that way I can adjust the elastic to make them tighter so they can fit better! I won't lie, I'm pretty excited for this!  Here's what I ate:   Breakfast-  1/2 cup of oatmeal  1/2 banana 1/2 of egg whites  1 tbsp of salsa  iced coffee with 2 tbs...

4:1 Back on Board the Wagon!

So I missed a whole week. Life happened. And to me, that's okay. Because this isn't a race, this is a journey . And sometimes along our journey's we take rests/pit stops. Last week was my pit stop. But I'm back on the wagon in full swing! It's never about how many times you fall off. It's always about how many times you get back on! I may have gained 5 lbs since my last weigh in. But I'm okay about it. I'm not saying that I'm going to sit there and accept defeat. But I'm okay with this set back. I'm okay that I know that I'm going to have to push harder. I'm okay with that. In fact, I've decided to take full swing back in control with a lot of things. I need to manage my time better. Something that I struggle with. But I plan on getting back to sticking to my planner. And I even bought myself a workout/diet planner! This way I can keep track of my food and exercises. It's small enough to fit in my purse. My ac...

4:2 Delayed Pictures and Measurements as Promised

OH MY GLUTES!!! I know that I stretched last night, but my goodness am I sore! It's been a crazy busy day in my office. I've taken on the task of checking all of our patient's eligibility before they have their appointment in our Garden City location. Which is a bit much for me. I know how to check eligibility, but not like this. It's causing me to multitask like an office ninja! But I've been working really hard on it, and I think I'm doing a decent job! I'm almost done with the whole month of August. And then I have to wait till September 1st to do September. But I'll get there. I've already started working on a Christmas gift today. I figured I'll start now just so I'm not pressed come the holiday season. So once I finish this blog post I'll get a few more stitches in before bed. Here's what I ate:   Breakfast-  1/2 cup of oatmeal  1/2 banana 1/2 of egg whites  1 tbsp of salsa  1 cup of coffee with milk and sug...
