216

I am down to 216 pounds today! What an amazing feeling for me, that I have done this! I finally believe in myself and I know what I am capable of and that is ANYTHING! Anything I set my mind to, I can do! My goals need to be updated a little bit so I will be working on that over this upcoming weekend!
Went and worked out for the 7th day in a row, still feels good and I'm not getting burnt out! I will take a day off this weekend because I know that is good for my body!
I'm sorry that I haven't been writing a lot lately, Ive gone through a couple depressed funks but I'm out of it now and rockin an rollin!

5 days and a break

SO Ive been back to working out for 5 days now and ive decided to take a break tonight!  Ive been doing awesome and I am still dropping pounds!  :)  I dont have a lot to say other than that, more soon! 

Loving working out again!

So I am back to working out and I am loving it!!!  I'm still taking it easy because of my back, mainly only doing 20-30 minute workouts but it feels so good!  Tomorrow is weigh in for the weight loss challenge and I cant wait to see what the scale says!!  I'm hoping I will be the weekly winner!  And we only have four weeks left in the challenge so I'm pretty stoked to see where I am in the whole process of it all.

Life is good!

What an awesome day!!!

So not only did I get to go work out tonight but I did it WELL!!! I ran like the wind, at least it felt that way!  And to top it off, ive lost four pounds since monday!!! I feel phenomenal!
So ready to be back on track!

Just here...

I hate to be posting so many negative posts but im feeling pretty low since I hurt my back.  Im still not exercising but that is about to change tomorrow.  I just cant stand not losing weight like I want to be and sadly im just maintining.  I know thats better than gaining but I have so much further to go in my weight loss, I NEED to lose!
Im going to go back to bootcamp tomorrow and just see how it goes.  I will post again tomorrow night with my results.  The 10 week challenge is halfway through an I am not in the lead where I want to be!  I need to get my butt in gear and I can use all the motivation anyone has to give!

Really struggling :(

I haven't been posting very much and I think a big part of that is because I am really struggling right now. I hurt my back last week and so I have not been able to keep up with my normal exercise routine. This is affecting me in many different ways, mentally I feel like it's breaking me down, like I'm back at the point where I don't even know if I can do this. It's making me very emotional because not only is my workout routine good for my health but it is also good for my emotional well being it is My stress relief. And physically no I pretty much feel like I'm just getting screwed over all, I have gained 3 pounds in the last week. I can't remember the last time I put on that much weight, It is incredibly discouraging to me. I really am trying to focus on the positive and not the negative, I'm trying to just look forward to when my back is better so I can work out again. But trying to be positive when you feel so negative is so hard.
I am more than open to any feedback that anyone cares to give me, I really could use some support right now.

Trying to get my routine back...

I haven't been going to the gym as much as I'd like to because my husband has had to work out of town a lot lately so my normal routine has become abnormal. Not only is it important to my health and losing weight but working out is a stress relief for me, so when I don't have him I feel like I'm really going downhill. Last week after my weigh in I lost another 3 pounds but then gained it back over the weekend so I ended up only losing a total of 1.8 pounds when I weighed in this Monday. I had feeling like a snail when it comes to my weightloss. So I'm trying ti get my routine back, I'm hoping by next week it will all fall back into place. On top of quitting eating so I can lose weight I'm now also giving up smoking so wish me luck!!!

More truth!

Losing weight is hard, its a challenge that many face and many fail at that challenge. The people that fail do not fail because it is impossible but because they simply do not believe in themselves.  Having the power of knowing you can accomplish anything makes all the difference.  Believing in yourself is the first step to reaching your full potential and your goals.
For years I didnt believe in myself and I never succeeded at losing weight.  Now I know I can do anything I set my mind to!

Believe in yourself, your worth it!    : )

busy busy life, still losing weight!

Im so sorry I havent been posting as much as normal.  My husband has been working out of town a lot which leaves me as the sole provider for our three kids and that keeps me super busy.  Although I dont have much time to write I still am not using my lack of spare time as an excuse not to eat smart and continue with my weight loss.  I am now down to 221.2 pounds and im so happy!  Today my awesome sister in law bought me some new workout clothes and im proud to say im loving being in smaller sizes!
Im loving my life right now, before I know it im gonna be under 200!
Life is GOOD!

Weigh in day

Today was my weigh in day and I feel like I did pretty darn good this week! I lost 4.6 pounds and im down to 223lbs!  Im so amazed at how far ive come and only further established in my thoughts that I can go all the way. I just feel total bliss!
My goal for next weigh in is to be under 220... 219 would be four pounds and, I GOT THIS!

Goal accomplished!

So I hit my goal and then some!!!  I lost two pounds more than necessary just to reach my goal.  I am now 226 pounds!  A total of 71 pounds lost now since I began this journey!

Words cannot explain my happiness today!  :)

Got a workout in today even though my legs are killing me from boot camp.
2 miles on the treadmill in 34 Minutes and 300 calories burned.  Not hardcore but not too shabby!
