8.6

It's been 6 days since I've started this diet and I have stuck to it perfectly with the exception of Wednesday night's dinner. It has paid off too! I am down 8.6 pounds as I weighed in this morning at 339. I am well on my way to being 330 by August 1!

Hubby and I sat down last night to set our goals for weight loss. It will take me a whole 2 years and 2 months to reach my goal weight of 150lbs. It will take hubby 1 year 2 months to reach his goal of 210.

4th @ 1st

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Independence Day. I was at my church today from 9am-3pm working at our community outreach, 4th at 1st. It was a 106 degrees and even with sunblock, I'm burnt badly. I ate in moderation and drunk over 100ozs of water and still feel sick. I hope to feel better tomorrow and be back to my diet.

It's easy as 1-2-3

I weighed myself yesterday when I decided to get back on the healthy lifestyle bandwagon. I was pleased more then I should have been to see 347.6 staring back at me. I truly expected it to be in the 360s!

I typically set way too high goals for myself, so this time I've made a more attainable goal of 330 by August 1. My second goal is to be 299 by January 1.

The second change this time is instead of cheat days, I'll have cheat meals. I know I could do without them, but I am choosing not to at this time.

The last change are the rewards I allow myself. I typically would reach a goal and reward myself with food or drink. This was what got me in trouble in the first place, so why continue it!? Instead I will reward myself with books, clothes, and cooking utensils.

H2Oooh, where's the bathroom?

I've been really good today. I'm way under my calorie limit and feeling good! I've only had a little over 80ozs of water today, but I constantly have to pee! Is this normal? If so, do you ever get used to it?

I'm heading home from work now to have tilapia tacos on romain lettuce. On of my favorite meals!

No more gym!

I'm a total slacker! I haven't eaten healthy or exercised in so long. We went to the grocery store tonight and purchased $100 worth of healthy foods and will be trying to eat healthy next week!

We did the unthinkable over the weekend, too! We cancelled the gym membership. We are so tired of wasting $52.50 every single month to the gym when we don't use it ever. We went to craigslist and purchased a treadmill, exercise bike, & an elliptical machine all for $60! They all work great and are fairly new. We've turned our living room into a pseudo gym. So we now have zero excuse not to work out!

Epic Fail

Okay, well I suck at this whole blogging and weight loss thing.  I have so fallen off the band-wagon and binge ate for so long.  I'm heart-broken that I cannot get myself together to eat healthy.  I have always had my hubby right there with me to eat healthy and exercise, but he isn't into it either right now.  I have the desire, but not the drive to do well right now.  I am going to try start over tomorrow with a new leaf and get back on track. I've spent the last two hours surfing the web trying to motivate myself and stumbled across Who ate my blog.  He is very motivating for me since he has lost over 300 pounds without surgery. He posts each day on what he eats and drinks in addition to the exercise.  I have downloaded some of the iphone apps that he uses to see if I can be anymore successful. I need to find it within myself to do it and hopefully I can.

For breakfast today I had a fiber plus bar. I brought my lunch but my work buddy picked up from a local deli so I ordered.  I had a diet coke, doritos, and a deep fried bologna sandwich. I had a cupcake as a snack.  I fixed dinner when I got home. We had muenster chicken, green beans, and twice baked potatoes. I had a pepsi and piece of homemade cake.  Horrible day! I try to stay around 1600 calories and I'm sure I exceeded 3500!

Tomorrow's a new day!

Mini goal!!!

Okay, so I totally feel off the diet and exercise bandwagon. I cannot remember the last time I ate healthy or exercised....well until today. I wish I knew what was wrong with me, but I don't know. I just kind of gave up and didn't care. Sunday night a fire was lit under my butt and I went to Wal-Mart and bought more than $100.00 on just healthy food. Today I ate all healthy food and I am not tired nor am I hungry. Thus far I have only eaten 850 calories and I am done for the night. I missed that feeling so much more than I knew. 

I am back up to 332.6 calories and I hope to be at like 228 this Sunday. I know it's possible...I just need willpower. I've decided to make my first little mini goal here and I hope ya'll will hold me accountable for it. I work in a residential group home for teenage girls and their last day of school is May 25 and we have all kids of cool things planned for them. One of those big activities for them to do is for administration (me!) to take them to Holiday World for the day, which includes riding all the rides and going to the water park with them. I want to do this with them and enjoy myself. So, here's the goal: I will be at or under 299 pounds by June 1!!!!
