Im a slacker in posting but im not slacking on my mission of weight loss!
Soooo it has been a week or more since I posted and I'm feeling rotten about it but I have been very very busy! We moved into our new home 5 days ago and Ive been running ragged. Kind of a good thing because it is keeping me SLIM! Okay well getting me SLIM, lol.
Ive only lost a pound in a half in two weeks but I think that's pretty good cause Ive had some slip ups for sure. My newest downfall is wildberry mojitos, LOVE them, but they are bad bad bad!
By next week we should be unpacked here and settled in as well as done with our old place completely. By then I will get back on track with my exercise and I plan to stick with the eating plan Ive been on...MY plan!
Love it!
I'm still here, I was in hibernation but I am still on course for my next goal!!!
I have 25 days to lose 12 pounds and I KNOW I can do it!!!
Don't wish me luck as this is not a goal achieved by luck, instead wish me strength and tolerance! :)

Struggling again...
UGH, I just want to scream! These last few days have been terrible for me!!! I don't know what it is, too much going on, being stressed, emotional, or maybe a combo of all three but I am doing awful with my eating. I did the horrible naughty awful last night and ate Chinese food in bed at 8:30pm! Oh my god was I regretting that almost immediately afterwards. :(
There is something about falling off the wagon that makes it so damn hard to get back up and on again. I am determined to get there, watching myself fall into a pit of despair is NOT what I want to be doing.
I'm gonna say it here, LOUD and CLEAR for all to see...
I will get back up, I will keep fighting, I wont give in, I CAN and WILL do this... I'm gonna kick this fat to the curb where it belongs!!!
Tomorrow is a new day and I am gonna start it right AND end it right!!! : )
Good luck to me and good luck to you!

Loving life a little bit more! :)
As the pounds continue to drop I continue to feel so much better! Physically, mentally and emotionally! I am gaining a confidence that im not sure I ever had before and that in its self feels great! Every day that I do this right it gets easier and easier! One of these days I wont even have to think about what im eating or that I need to get a workout in, it is just going to be a normal part of my life! I feel like I am headed in the right direction in many ways and love it!
Yesterday I got a Wii and Zumba for it! I am soooo excited to start doing it and hoping it gives me the results I think it will! Im hoping to get the biggest loser one eventually because that is what I really want. It will have to wait for a little while though because you also have to have the balance board for that an it is not cheap!
Anyway, its a good day and I have started it off right!

A new number!!!
So as of today I am down to 253 pounds, I have not been at this number in almost three years! Wow, it feels so good. It also feels amazing to walk across my house and know that my jeans are slightly hanging off of me! Time to go down a size I do believe!
When I started I had a positive attitude but really didn't feel like I could accomplish my goals with weight loss. Now I feel like I can, I know that I can because I am doing it!!!
I couldn't be more proud of my self right now! I have lost 19 pounds in four weeks and now I have four more weeks until my next goal, (240 by march 11th), that's only 13 pounds to lose and I know I can do it!!!
: )
By the way, im sorry I havent been keeping up with this blog, ive got a lot going on right now but I will try to do better!

Depression and overcoming it!
For years I have battled depression, it seems to come and go and when it comes it seems out of nowhere and hits me like a sledgehammer! I am learning over this last month that exercise is essential for me to keeping that depression at bay. There is something about being on the treadmill that makes it drain away. It makes me feel good and gives me the confidence I need to make it through another day!
I am a mom of three small kids and my husband works long hours a lot of the time, which means for me that I do not always make it to the gym when I want to. I know you can work out at home and I do at times but it doesn't compare in the least to what I get out of the gym! Because of this I am going to be searching for a used treadmill, I cannot afford one brand new! Well, I probably cant even afford a used one but I think it is of MAJOR importance to me surviving my life and losing this weight to begin a new life.
Not all people can understand what it is like to be so overweight, as a matter of fact you cant even begin to comprehend unless you've been in the same position. It takes a toll on a person in several ways, of course physically it kills you daily. Your feet hurt, you are always out of breath and almost any physical exertion makes you feel like your dying. Emotionally you feel like a failure, like you are never going to be good enough for anything, you see yourself the same as you think others see you, fat and worthless. Mentally it drags you down constantly, thinking you will always be this way, that you don't have the strength to change it and then in begins to drag you down, down, down into a depression so deep you think you'll never get out.
And people wonder why overweight people keep eating and "don't want to be healthy", Ive heard that so many times. It isn't that we DON'T want to be healthy and happy. Its that the world we live in is such despair we don't have the strength to try. For some even after trying it is a let down, they can work their butts off and not see the results they desire and that pushes them back down.
For myself, I have realized what I need is little daily encouragements to keep me going. I need to see the pounds coming off even if it is half a pound at a time. I need to put on a pair of jeans and realize I didn't have to lay on the bed to button them. I need to have people see and acknowledge that I am trying and working so very hard at my goals. All of these things play a part in helping to get someone committed to losing...pounds!
I feel like I'm rambling, just a lot on my mind. The end result of all of the rambling... Please do not give up. I am not going to and nobody else should either. If we all band together as family, friends and even acquaintances, we can accomplish anything!
So go out today, compliment someone, improve someone Else's day because by paying it forward, it will get back to us.
