Day 5

So I haven't been getting in as much exercise as I would like to but my eating has been right on for 5 straight days now!  I am 100% under my calories daily and I'm staying consistent with Myfitnesspal as well!  I'm growing more and more proud of myself and becoming more confident already that I can and will achieve my goals!  I have already lost 5 pounds and plan to keep them coming off!  That is about it for now, short and sweet... I'm a work in progress and I am still working at it every moment of every day!

HARDWORK! DEDICATION!

Wow, hurting but the pain feels good!

It is amazing how quickly your body can become "Out of shape" when you don't do anything with it... except feed it a bunch of junk.  Monday I spent 40 minutes at the gym doing a little bit of cardio and then some circuit style work and finished up with 50 squats, the beginning of a 30 day squat challenge. Tuesday morning I could hardly move, eek!  But I still did, I went through the day as I normally do except I was at least more conscious of what I was eating.  I didn't make it to the gym but I did get to watch the premier of my show that I have been waiting forever for, The biggest Loser!!! And I did do my squats at home, 60 for the second day! And today my legs are dying, which makes me very afraid of what it is going to feel like going to the gym tonight and then doing the already dreaded squats. But I will be there, and I will succeed at this because I know that I can!  I am strong and I am willing to do whatever it takes to make this happen!
Today started the 6 week weight loss challenge at the gym as well and also the eating/diet challenge my sister in law and I are doing.  I weighed in this morning at 250 pounds exactly, a weight that is incredibly hard not to get depressed about.  But I'm not going to even go there, positive only!  Ive done amazing with my eating so far today, I've logged everything into myfitnesspal and I'm really enjoying using that app again!
I cant wait to make it to the end of the 6 weeks and see my results, I know I can and will see a huge chunk of weight gone!!!
My goal for now, To try hard!  That's all, and I know that is something I can accomplish!

I AM BACK!!!!!

 (((((POSTED 6/24/2012))))) Stuck in a rut

Well I've worked my butt off all week and haven't even dropped a pound. I'm Pretty sad considering tomorrow is the final weigh in for the challenge. I suppose you can't win them all but I sure wanted this bad. I guess we will see what the results are Wednesday. As for today I've already burned over 600 calories and I'm Headed back to the gym in an hour.

OMGOSH... HELLO, Timewarp or something? Cause it has been 15 months of being stuck in this damn rut if not!!!

Eeek! Well I'm back folks! Anyone miss hearing from me? Want to hear what 15 months will do to someone? :(  I have gained 38 pounds since my last blog post.

But back to the positive, I am back on track and I'm feeling positive!

Made it to the gym tonight and I hurt but I am liking the pain!  Big thank you to my sis in law for making me go and for pushing me as she always does, I am strong and I need that reminder when I am not as confident as I should be!

I am starting a weight loss accountability challenge Wednesday... more info to come on that!!!

I'm excited to be back! Yay!

:)

last week for the challenge!

So Im two days into the last week of the weight loss challenge And Im so close to winning i can taste it. Im working incredibly hard And hope I can make this happen. Im determined but honestly Im exhausted! I Just have to make it to monday And then Im giving myself a much needed week off! I think I deserve it.

Success!

I am on a roll and kicking butt big time!!! I'm losing pounds drastically this week and I'm working hard to make it happen! Worked out probly the hardest I ever have yesterday and even broke down crying in the middle of it but I kept going! I'm sitting at 211 right now and the number 199 is so close I will do anything it takes to get there!!! What an awesome week its been!!! More from me tomorrow!

Back on top!

I'm so sorry for not writing for so long!!!  I didn't want to write a bunch of down and depressing crap and that's all I was feeling!  I had a gain this last week due to my monthly crap coming around and I wasn't eating the best due to my depressed feelings, all around it was a terrible week.
Moving on...

I am feeling like I'm back in my groove and doing awesome again!  My eating habits are great and I'm exercising my booty off every chance I get!  The weight loss challenge only has two more weigh ins and then it is over.  Sadly I don't think I have a shot at winning any more but I still feel great about the progress I've made anyway!  After all this is a lifestyle change for me and losing and keeping it off ultimately is what matters most!  :)

I made a new collage of my weight loss progress and the difference in me is huge!  I'm loving the way I look these days and cant wait to get to my final goal and look!

Today was a great day and its coming to an end, gonna wrap it up by finishing my big bottle of water and hitting the sack, I'm exhausted!

A bad week...

Im still here, just have had a bad week and am starting to recover from it...

I will post tomorrow!

I want first place!!!

So as it stands right now I am in second place for winning the weight loss challenge im doing!!!  We have three weeks to go and I am stepping it up big time!
Today consisted of three seperate workouts!
Gym- 2 miles on the treadmill and 300 calories burned.
Bootcamp- 450 calories bured.
Gym- 0.5 miles on the treadmill and 100 calories burned/lifting weights, 150 calories burned!

Thats 1000 calories burned in one day!  Go me!  Wish me strength and luck that I can keep it up!

Also consumed 120 ounces of water today!
H2O does a body good!

Workouts!

I am la la la la loving my workouts! I love my loud music that pumps me up and keeps me going!!! I love the sweat that pours down my face when I run! I love the exhaustion I feel when I'm done! I love it all!
The weight loss challenge is almost over and I can't wait to see if I win! I sure hope I do but, as my sister in law pointed out to me, it is a win for me no matter what. I've been kicking butt and dropping weight like crazy over the last 8.5 months. To sit and think that I've lost 82 pounds is simply amazing!
I'm more proud of myself now then I've ever been in my life! I'm so thankful I finally found the courage to keep going and to not give up!
Yay me!
