January 31 - Day 14

I totally sucked at posting last week. In fact I barely even tracked my food. I was sick a few days and did not much but lay on the couch, sleep, watch movies, take the dog out and eat.

All of that aside, I lost 3 pounds last week! Yes!

I have a fridge full of deliciousness, some too naughty, but I've been trying to eat in moderation.

Does anyone read this? I feel like I am talking to myself and only myself.

January 23 - Day 6

I know, I know, I haven't posted in a few days. I have been doing well though and sticking to my points for the week. Work has been nuts though and I've been bummed out that my someone awesome is so far away.

I decided that Sundays are my weigh in days since that was the day I first weighed myself last week. Drumroll...... I lost 2 pounds! Yay!

Not a bad start to the new Red! I know it will get easier as I go. Money has been really tight lately so it is actually helping me plan out food and NOT go out to eat or pick up junk.

Here's to another successful week.

Does anyone have any good recipes? I'm looking to cook more and try new things. Post a comment if you have any to share!

priorities

Stress seems to overrule my desire to be healthy sometimes. Does this happen for you? When I'm stressed, I usually stop caring about taking the time to eat right and exercise (the dreary cold weather doesn't help either). I have been eating terribly the past 2 weeks, but thankfully, I dropped down .4 pounds. No record breaking numbers, but at least it's a loss.

Ready to get this train movin. I'm the only one holding myself back. I need to get myself to the grocery store and plan out some meals. What am I waiting for? sigh

Can I get a hellyeah!?

So I went and weighed in at weight watchers....

I lost 3 pounds this week! Back on track!

This brings my grand total to 27.2 pounds down since February. HOORAY!!

I'm so excited and re-inspired. YAY!

Been a while...

I haven't updated this in a while because... well... life has been ridiculous lately. All personal stuff aside, blogging and focusing on weight has been the last thing I have had time to do.

I did make it back to Weight Watchers yesterday and I lost .6 pounds. Not much - but it's the right direction. I've been "maintaining" for a few weeks/months now... and I am more than ready to move forward.

So here's to renewed commitments and progress!

Weigh In

So I lost 0.4 pounds this week. It's nothing glorious, but it was something at least. Moving forward and going to kick some butt in the next week or so.

Get excited.

Real Deal photos

Here are some not so glamourous photos of me now.... with my clothes hanging off of me hahah

Virtually Me

So here's the latest Before/Current. :)

The other great news is that I fit into some clothes that I wore 3 years ago.  This is a really really really great thing.  

20 down!!!

I've been super sick this past week, and dropped 3 pounds... which let me hit my new grand total of 20.2 pounds lost!!! I'm so excited and shocked.

I hear that once you hit the first 20 the rest comes fast. I hope that is true.... If so, holy crap!



So yeah!!! Here's to the next round. Oh, and I'm only 1.8 pounds away from hitting a huge goal. yayyyy

take THAT!

Despite gaining .4 pounds the week before, I lost 1.2 pounds this week!!

I'm now down 17.2 pounds. I didn't track for a week or so, (my food) and made some bad choices. I've been doing much better this week and bam! I'm losing once again. I'm excited.

I think I will reach my next goal by the end of May.

I can now fit into the size smaller than what I've been wearing for a few years and am very excited. They fit, but aren't roomy enough yet, so I will wait a few more weeks before buying anything.

I just went grocery shopping again and going to get back into my groove.

p.s. I am most probably going to be going to Hawaii in July... I think it will be a great reward for my loss so far. While I'm not super ready for bathing suits, I'm closer than I've been in a few years. I think it'll re-inspire me too.

WOOHOO

I lost another 2.6 pounds!! YAY!!! I was prepared to be disappointed from eating more than I should have on that business trip last week.... but I did it! Yay!

I'm down 16.4 now and ridiculously excited. I need to figure out how to celebrate now! :)

I can't believe I'm already just a few pounds away from my big 22 pound goal.

Hell yes!

Weigh In #8 i think

Doooo da do doooo! I lost another pound. Hooray!

The true challenges this past weekend have been me not tracking anything since Friday, eating a burger (and my first helping of fries since Feb!), going to a dinner party, and just being pretty crazy-busy. I survived yet again though and feel good about it. I think I have finally figured out how much to eat and what choices I should make when I am eating. It's good.

Yay.

Yet another Weigh In

Well - - I expected the worst tonight. Why? Because I had an insane week this past week and drank beer and celebrated a great event that I put together.

Thankfully though, despite that, I lost another 1.4 pounds! this puts me 12.8 down. Yay! I can do normal things and still lose weight. Hooray!

I'm waiting right now for another king ranch casserole to cook. I'm super excited to eat it. It'll be a good celebratory dinner.

Weigh In

So I lost .8 pounds this week. It wasn't monumental but it's another loss.

YAY!

It's been a little stressful this week preparing for the art exhibition I'm putting together, and at work, most of my meals have been catered this week. It's been rough not being able to make the choices I would have normally have made for food, but I survived. I didn't take the cheesecake brownies. I didn't touch the cake covered in icing. I rocked it out with self control.



By the way - - for some reason I didn't see all of your comments until a few minutes ago. I'm having some blogger comment issues. I don't even see how you guys were able to leave a comment, because I just added the Comment button (didn't know it was unchecked). Hi I work with technology hahaha.

Weigh-In

I got weighed in today and I lost .4 pounds.  It wasn't as big as my 6 from last week, but I am happy with it.  

Yay for loss!

By the way - I am absolutely appalled (how's that for an Eileen word) that someone has come 2 wks in a row to the weight watchers meeting with a 44 oz soda from sonic and ATE a burger and fries while in the meeting.  Are you kidding me?!  It's rude and distracting all in one.  That's just wrong.   

I mean would they let an alcoholic come with a beer to aa?    NO!

Weigh in 03/04/09

So I joined a new weight watchers group today - and it is SOOOO much better.

I lost another 6 pounds! YAY!

This brings my total loss so far to 7.8 pounds. I'm not sure when I have ever had success like this. I'm so excited and proud of myself. I did good despite eating a bit off the beaten path this past week (nachos and chicken parmesan, etc yummm)

I'm looking into buying a bike right now. I want a cruiser. Something like this:
