New goal!

Ladies and gentleman I want to get to 140. That means I need to lose 40 lbs. As you have seen I have already lost 17 which will be a grand total of about 60 lbs lost. I realize I might get pregnant in the middle of all this because that was the point of my birthday goal but here's the thing. As excited as I am for another baby...I am not pregnant yet. So let's see how far I can go. Let's start with one month. I have always wanted to lose 10 lbs in a month. Let's see if I can do it!!!

My goal date has passed and I am still at 179. I am going to be honest I was soo depressed this month because I felt like all the work I have been doing has bee going to waste and if I had actually recorded the things I was doing I would have seen a pattern. I am proud to have lost as much weight as I did though. Here's the thing. Let's get real. I am actually relieved that my goal date is over because that means I can start a new one. I have been thinking to myself...how have people managed to make such enormous transformations in 12 weeks or a yet ear when the most I could do this year was seventeen pounds. How did I lose 50 one year? What was I doing different. Because right now I am practically obsessed with losing weight. In fact I think that's part of the problem. I get so frustrated with is that I skip the workouts that would have made a difference. So I think the new key here is to desires and be happy. I am going to see what happens by just eating a little smarter and some basic exercise habits and just focusing on being happy. I think it would cure emotional eating and encourage me to work harder than if I just pushed myself to the limit. I also have an announcement to make. I am not done here!!!!

I had a month of little results this Valentine season. Guess why? Cuz one day of candytuft turned into a whole week. I also had a lot of fattening romantic dinners so I took a hit and I finally got back to 179. I honestly don't know how realistic 165 will be in exactly one month but I haven't given up. I just finished my workout and I am feeling pumped that I am losing weight despite everything. I think a key ingredient to all of this is to believe and reward myself for. Progress instead of feeling likel a failure for being hungry or eating something delicious or not working out. I am strong and I am losing weight. If I even get close to my target weight it will be incredible. So I am still here. Fighting. Ps I have so many ideas for after I have my next baby. Next time this is going to be so much faster, just because I know what to expect now.

I am now 179! I can't believe I am finally out of the 80's! I feel like it might actually be possible to each my goal by my birthday. I have lost 17 lbs in total and I hope to lose 13 more. I also just started a diet that promises that I will lose 10 lbs in a single week. I started today. I have to eat all fruit and 8-10 glasses of water. Here is how the whole thing looks. I am going to follow it to the letter. 10 lbs in a week is worth a shot and if it works I am totally going to do it after I have the next baby. 1. Fruit only (no bananas) 2. Veggies only 3. Fruits and Veggies only 4. Bananas and some soup 5. 6 tomatoes, 2 apples, a salad,1 orange,1 grapefruit, some rice 6. Veggies, Salad, Soup and Rice 7. Fruits, Veggies, and Rice This includes 8-10 glasses of water a day. No juices or oils,cheese or cream. Minimum salt and pepper usage. Day 1. I love fruit but it makes me feel cold if I eat it all day, so for future days with mainly fruit I need to find a good recipie to make them warm and not add sugar or butter. Also I have been drinking a lot of water. I am going to drink more now and I get really full before I use the restroom, but my eyes are on the goal.

Next day

181 !!!

January 13th 2014

First of all, Happy New Year! I am now 182. I have been waiting to make some progress from my last blog. I hope to be 175 by the end of the month although based on my progress from the last few months I might barely break 180. But at least I have lost 14lbs from the beginning of this entire endeavor. I haven't been workout out this week because I have a bad case of strep throat and a stiff neck. I can't wait to see how much progress I can make when I get back to it! We are almost there!

Well that did not help my diet much haha! Thanksgiving really wouldn't have hurt my weight goal too much, but I stopped exercising for a whole week too. Yah, bad girl. My excuse is that it got really cold outside and I had another brief time of feeling possible pregnancy symptoms of queeziness that was probably just a sickness bug. So I gave myself a break and the last time I checked I was at 188. That was two days ago so maybe it has improved since then. I have rededicated myself to exercising in the morning and I tried out the 30 day Shred by Jillian Michael's which is a good strength training work out that lasts only 20 minutes. It left me so sore I was walking like a zombie with leg braces. Proof that this is something I need to work on. I might add that to my daily routine. Cardio in the morning, Strength during the baby's nap, and I am going back to recording the food I eat. I don't really understand why I keep slacking on that one but it is time to bump it up. I am also saying my prayers and reading my scriptures daily as well, so I am hoping that the Lord will help me stay motivated with this goal. I have still made a good step forward losing about 8lbs. Maybe this month I can get to 180, but you know I am going to shoot for better than that! I am still going to lose the baby weight before my Birthday! Let's get down to business!
