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!!!!

The sickies

I've been sick 6 days now with a sinus and double ear infection. I'm on antibotics, but still haven't kicked the sickness. Needless to say, I haven't worked out for a long time. My goal is to get back into the gym next week because I have a fairly easy week at work, which is few and far in between. Hubby says he feels like crap because he's been gaining weight, too, so maybe he'll get his motivation back. Being fat sucks!

Superbowl

My hubby and I had a very healthy, low calorie lunch...I just wish the day would continue. I know I am in control of my life and what I eat, but I'm going to be weak. We are about to head to our church's evening service and then stay for the superbowl party. Everyone has been asked to bring snacky type foods, which will not be healthy and I'll enjoy every bite of it. I just hoping my spinach/artichoke dip doesn't come home with me :)

We sat down last night and schedule gym time into our already crazy week to ensure we are there every night for the next 7 days. I'll update ya to see if that actually happens!

If anyone is on facebook (and who really isn't anymore) there's a group called Sunshine's Journey to 199 that is a great tool for weight loss...you might wanna check it out.

Even though my beloved Colts are not playing, I still have a Manning to watch! Go Giants!!!

Here goes nothing!

My hubby, Dwaine, and I have been on a weight loss journey since January 2011. We have both been overweight our entire life and we finally got tired of the excess weight. We did really well the first 6 months of the year (I had lost 87 pounds and Dwaine lost 100 pounds) until we lost our jobs within four days of each other and essentially gave up (and gained some of the weight back). We started back the journey again this January, but we just don't have the steam that we had last year. As of today, I have lost 65 pounds total and Dwaine has lost 47 pounds total. I currently weigh 327 and he weighs 350. Join us on our journey!
