Still Motivated Still trying

I went up 4 lbs this week could be water retention and  aunt Flo made her visit so we will see I have been tracking and working out so I know that things will be good. I continue to stay motivated at this challenge. I can see myself at my goal weight of 175lbs. I keep trying to visualize the finish line and then onto maintaining which I feel is the ultimate challenge so what are your plans for success and how do you deal with setbacks and gains. In watching Extreme Makeover Weight loss Edition I saw her making excuses and not fighting to change. She did in the end lose over a 100lbs but I just thought if she did not waste the first 6 months she would of done a whole lot better for herself. It was still a lot to lose in a year but I just think with the support of Chris you could do so much more such a great opportunity!. It just makes me motivated to do more I always think when I feel like I can't do anymore I am at my end that Chris Powell is there telling me you can do it push through it you can So what is your motivational person I found a good quote by Michael Jordan

I have had some challenges getting back here as in no Internet at home no cellphone at the moment so I log on at work and the library when I can. I have done well so far I am down 28lbs I have said hello to the 250's which makes me happy. I recently had surgery gallbladder removed all is well now. My gym finally opened planet fitness and hubby and I went at 4:30am on Mon morning planned to today but the alarm failed me lol so back on the horse tomorrow. I decided that if I am serious the only way to get this in since my schedule is so crazy is to go first thing in the morning and I felt great afterwards. I still have a long road to travel but I feel I have finally reached the clear path to success for sure.

Buckled down and got results YEAH!!!!! Goodbye 280's

I have been struggling the last couple of weeks trying what I thought was my best with my diet but yet the scale was moving up ugggg I know I had to pay closer attention so I really tracked everything and cut out sugar in my hot tea made sure to get more veg and fresh fruit so when I got weighed yesterday it said???????????? 279.4 I lost 5.2 lbs for a total so far of 7.2lbs. I was pleased and see that you really do need to pay attention and do the basics no shortcuts. I have to get my schedule together for my exercise that is off right now with my work schedule MON-THU 8am-11pm and then one other day I work my reg 8hrs so I need to get that together but I will work harder at my diet for sure. So how was your week

Had a great weekend

Had a wonderful weekend I worked out Sat with my friend we used her X-Box Kinect and did the UFC ultimate trainer and it killed me OMG it was crazy I weighed in Sat morning lost .8 so yeah for me. I also did well with Superbowl I made a healthy guacamole for me and my mom and I marinated boneless skinless chicken breasts in a low cal Italian dressing for us so we would not have to eat to many chicken wings so overall I think this was a good weekend. How was yours did Superbowl go good for you what was your favorite commercials I think Doritos won for me the ads were too cute

I made finger sandwiches and had small mini cupcakes red velvet, carrot and vanilla plus mini banana muffins and macaroons.

Ok AUNT FLO SCORE 1 at the scale

Well my monthly visitor won at the scale this week I ate good this week exercised and I gained 1.4 but mom lose 3.2 so yeah I am not worried I know this will be a better story next week. I did walk yesterday 2 times around at market commons which is 1.1 miles each time. I walked once today with mom and Howie I tried to feed the ducks but the damn seagulls kept hoarding in. So I look forward to a better week hopefully will be able to do my workout tape or walk some more. Tomorrow is my tea party I have gotten a bunch of mini cupcakes and stuff so not too bad will let you all know how it goes. Made a protein shake this morning for breakfast I used Jillian Michaels choc protein powder and put unsweetened soy milk with a whole banana and 2 tsp of peanut butter it was great I had that at 9:00 am and it is now 4 and still full so I am liking that I did have a small snack a 4pt pouch of ginger cookies so that is not bad happy with that. Good to have a quick breakfast and will have a good dinner tonight. So what is on your agenda for the week how do you plan to get busy this week and my question for today is does your weight and self image hinder your mood with your better half so you find that you just are not wanting to be intimate and how do you make them understand what you are feeling?

Today I enforced the rule NO EXCUSES!!!!

I was trying to do my workout tape this morning and my DVD player was not working so I had to get ready for work. So here at work I go out alot to get ice from the machine and the building I work in here at the hotel does not have an elevator its 2 flight of steps 13 stairs each flight one set of stairs on each side. So every time I go to get ice or bathroom I am going up one side down the other then back up the other side. So I figured where there is a will there is a way NO EXCUSES!!!!! So what was your no excuse day!!!!

Great first week of Weight Watchers

So I have completed my first week of weight watchers and I did great I lost 5.4 lbs so excited and ladies I even ate Cheesecake this week. Just shows in moderation you can have just make sure to eat good the rest of the time and keep moving. Last weekend had great workouts and this weekend so far good I was sweating my but off last night added some new moves I did 25 squats and then 10 more with 5lb weights in each hand. I also went on Thursday to see Hannah from Biggest loser season 11 she looked AMAZING and was so nice and motivational. I looked at her and said that is me and it gave me proof again that with hard work and dedication I can too change and maybe I too can help to inspire someone who feels as if it will never happen. I know this weight battle is one we fight over and over but I have to only assume that one day I will exit that roller coaster and never ride again. So I am looking forward to a good week I would like at least a 2lb loss as I know they will not all be big and that is ok most important is that the scale moves in the right direction. I know as I exercise I will gain from muscle but that is healthy so I a good with that as well. So here is to a great week and remember as always: YOU GOT TO BELIEVE I am worth it, Believe I can do this, Believe I will SUCCEED say it loud and say it proud. YOU ARE WORTH IT

Here is what I have hung up on my fridge and pantry to remind me daily I will change the picture of me monthly.

Good Luck
