What a BUMMER!!!

So I weighed myself and I GAINED 1.6 pounds (.73 Kg). Now although I am definitely BUMMED, I have to take this in stride because last week I had a HUGE loss of 5 pounds (2.27 KG) so I still have a net loss of 3.4 pounds (1.54 Kg). I did not cheat at all and I even counted the few french fries I ate while I was out! And the ONLY sex I had this week was with my husband not with a KIT-KAT or REESE'S!!! LOL Some MAJOR highlights for this week include, get ready...wait for it..OK you twisted my arm: I DID 2 PUSH-UPS NOT ON MY KNEES!!!!! Now this is BEYOND HUGE for me because I never could do this before and I owe it ALL to BOB HARPER!!! His 66 minute Strength Training DVD is INSANE and it comes with two workouts on it, a 20 minute and a 66 minute minute work-out. When I got the DVD last year, I could barely make it through the 20 minute workout and I needed three days rest before I could do it again! Then I worked up to doing the 66 minute workout once per week and now I am up to doing the 66 minute workout once per week in addition to the 20 minute workout 3 times per week. Oh and I also do 3 kick ass spin classes weekly!!! So I am DEFINITELY getting STRONGER!!! My next work out goal is to do the 66 minute workout twice weekly..I will keep you posted! I have a wedding on May 27th and I reeally would like to wear a dress, let me tell you I'M PETRIFIED of a dress...I think if my arms were smaller I wouldnt be but unfortunatly they are not :( Does anyone have any suggestions for teh type of dress I should get?? Feel free to e-mail pics if you have anything in mind! LOL Anyway, that's what's up! Thanks for reading!

AWESOME!

I weighed myself today and I lost 5 pounds (2.27 KG) for a total of 117 pounds (53.07 KG). I am off this week...I have been trying to go back to the basics of protein, and stopping when I am full, the moment I am full...I see the doctor on Friday for my yearly check-up, I cannot believe it has been two years since my surgery...I would say I am a different person! This Saturday, Todd is playing a concert at Ollie's Point, he is opening for Ryan Cabrera and if you have a minute to watch this clip, you will hear my dad on WFAN plugging Todd's band! Soooo funny, here it is:http://youtu.be/F3_z-w31-94

Well, it was expected!

So I weighed myself today and I GAINED! I was kind of expecting it because I had a meltdown after last weeks weigh in, because last week I had a PERFECT week and gained a pound so what did I do? I ate 5 ooey gooey DELICIOUS chocolate chip cookies! Then I ate some bunny food which is this decadent chocolate treat from Gertrude Hawk...THEN I had a Hershey bar, Twix and a Reese's! As you can see, I WAS PISSED! In my head I was thinking if the scale is going to show a gain there better be a REASON for the gain! SO by the time I snapped out of it, it was kind of too late to save this weeks weigh in! So I was not surprised when I saw the pound gain yesterday..but now it is TOTALLY out of my system and I am back on track and hopefully next Tuesday is a success for me..Thanks for reading!

Sooooo DISAPPOINTED!!!

I AM FURIOUS!!!! I worked out every day this week, diet was great and what happens?? I GAINED A POUND!!!!!!! Soooooooo upset! Granted, I have my period, but still!!!! This is really interfering with my plans! I am really speechless and what does this one Pound gain inspire me to do? You guess it, I ATE 3 chocolate chip cookies!!! Now I am even more pissed at myself! I did go to the gym and did an hour class that hopefully will help and I plan on going 4 more days this week, so we shall see what happens next week...I really cant express in words how pissed I am at this point! thanks for reading....

It's Moving!

I weighed myself today and I LOST 1.2 pounds (.54kg) for a total of 113.6 LBS (51.53 kg. I new I had lost weight this week because I was SUPER Determined this week..I ate what I was supposed to and did not eat any "extra" because I worked out like a beast. At times, when i calculate all the calories burned during my workouts, I have been known to use a few of those calories for extra food! I know this is not technically "wrong" but this week I cut that out entirely! So I was a little annoyed that I only lost 1.2 because i was hoping and praying to reach that 115 pound mark this week, but I am now over it because the scale is definitely moving in the write direction! In addition to my usual workout schedule I have added a DAILY 5 MINUTE workout that I saw on Dr. Oz, which includes a 1 minute interval of 5 exercises like push-ups, dips, crunches, squats etc...

I went shopping this week and I am not going to lie it feels amazing to be able to shop in the sizes I am in now, BUT I really wanted to be further a long in my journey by this summer...HOWEVER, although my mind tends to dwell on the negative, I AM CHOOSING to focus on the positive because I could make my self sick, and have, when I just focus on how I'm not there yet! I have not been this small in more than a DECADE and I am relishing on that! I am aiming to do that 5K in September and I am loving my life right now because I have WORKED MY ASS OFF,LITERALLY! I WILL ACHIEVE MY WEIGHT LOSS DREAMS! Thanks for reading!

Here ya go!

I weighed myself today and I lost .8 lbs (.36 kg) for a total of 112.4 lbs (51 Kg). So I am not super thrilled that I lost this little bit of weight this week, but I am happy that the scale is moving in the right direction. I have parent-teacher conferences this week so I am unsure of how many gym nights I will have but I plan on going for some walks and doing my exercise dvd's when I cant get to the gym. I have 4 more weigh-ins before I see my doctor for my yearly follow-up and I would like to be THINNER!!!! I went shopping this week and everything is gettimg smaller...I am still trying to stay focused on the prize, even when I have slow weeks like this! Thanks for reading...

sorry sooo late!

I lost 2 pounds...total weight loss 111.6..

I have had a bad week! Not so much with my eating, I actually anticipated a really nice loss becuase last week was filled with good choices, but work was sooooo stressful that I did not sleep at all or really eat much on Monday 3/7, Tuesday 3/8 and Wednesday 3/9! So I was gaunt in color, shaking, headache, i could feel my blood sugar crashed and I was just really in a depressed mood..If I could explain it I would explain it! I have to see my weight loss doctor in April and I really wanted to be much lighter! I feel like I have been struggling a lot lately! I want that 1 in front of my weight!!! I am looking at my body still cannot wear a sleeveless shirt, not sure if I ever will be able to until I have some sort of skin removal surgery...quite annoying...I also really want to run a portion of this 5k race on September 1 and my feet are just screaming! Although c25K says I could train starting June 1, I was thinking maybe I could start earlier, but not sure it will work...
