Let's Lose This Weight

Hello Again

2006-09-30T20:08:00.000-07:00

Well, it has been awhile. I have been maintaining my weight, not losing any more. It's been a rough couple of months and would love to continue my weight loss. My husband and I just celebrated our Anniversary last month. Seven years together.

This summer went fast, now the cold weather will be coming. The leaves are falling and the holidays are just around the corner. My baby girl is now in daycare and my son has been "moved to the other side" at his daycare. That means he is starting to get ready for kindergarden. They grow up so fast. I used to laugh when I heard that but it really is not funny. The days that have past I will never get back again. They are growing. And I couldn't be more proud of both of them!!

Well, like I said, I wnat to lose at least 10 more pounds before the end of November. I think them I will be happy and be prepared for Christmas.

Wish me luck!!

I'm Down a Size!!

2006-07-13T17:51:00.000-07:00

Well, I have lost a total of 21 pounds these past six weeks. And I am down to a size 8 again. Before I started the diet, I was starting to move into size 12 which I vowed 4 years ago that I would never be that size again. I am short and the weight I am now is still considered "moderately obese." I am happy of the progress I have made so far. I didn't think I'd be this far ahead. By September 1st, I would like to be at my goal of 135. Then I will see if I can lose another 5 pounds by the end of October. I do not want to go below 130, I think I was just alittle too thin. But those are the goals I have set and come Halloween, I hope I have met them. It will be just in time for the holidays !! But I am in a size 8 hoping to be in a 6 again in the fall!!

This is one of my favorite pictures of the summer. This is my son at the park. He is the best!

Still Maintaining!

Haven't lost weight this past week but haven't gained, either.It's been a pretty bad week. Our fininshed basement was flooded and my husband and company had to pump the water out. Everything should be ok, not quite sure yet. So I did some stress eating! I am feeling better now so I plan to get back to my diet. There is a party on Sunday so I will have to be good!

3 Pounds....GONE :)

Well, I lost those extra pounds I gained last weekend plus 1! That made my day. I am feeling and looking better than I have in awhile. When I had Jonathan, the weight just melted away. I was thin and happy. I couldn't believe it. I felt so good about myself. Can't quite explain it, really. But I was a bit too thin and really don't want to be that size again but I want to get close! About 20 pounds to go! The Deit Group has helped me tremendously and my friend, Eliza. We both support each other at work when it's lunch time and all we want to do is pig out! We can't do it alone! Need to get back to exercising. Can't seem to get motivated again. I haven't strayed from drinking water or eating. I never really liked exercising. The pilates were ok to do but since I haven't used those muscles in years, it hurts like hell. I did the ABS pilates and my ribs up tp my chest ached for about 3 days!! Tried them again and I couldn't do it! These are beginner's dvds I am talking about. So, I am stumped on what to do. It's too hot to walk and I am on my feet all day at work so when I get home, I am drained!

Well, it's been almost a year now that our dog, Dukie had to be put to sleep. I miss him still to this day. He was such a good fit for our family and I don't see how another dog would ever fill his shoes. He was a great friend! He always knew what kind of mood I was in and how to be there for me and the rest of us. It still hurts to think about him.

Well, I am off to lose some more pounds! :)

Gained A Couple...

2006-06-20T04:02:00.000-07:00

Well, all my partying this weekend added 2 pounds back on. I am very pleased that it was only 2 pounds! I really tried hard not to go off the deep end! Plus, I haven't been exercising the last few days, so I must start up again. I think I want to do some walking. And my pilates. Must get refocused! I still have a long way to go!

Lost A Couple More.....

I belong to a support group that has been giving me my motivation to lose the weight. Our group is now being sponsored the "Diet Channel." We started off as a small group on Flickr and it keeps growing. It seems there are a lot of us trying to shed some pounds and to keep the trend going. I have lost some weight but I still have a long way to go. I haven't felt this good in a long time and I know from past experiences that I need the support from family, friends and the-diet group to keep moving forward. I know I am in good company!

Losing Some Pounds

2006-06-13T05:40:00.000-07:00

I have lost 12 pounds in about 2 weeks. It's very encouraging. I feel so much better and have more energy. I have been doing pilates and I am going to try yoga on my vacation. I haven't been doing so good with the bike riding. Must work on that. But overall, I am doing well with the diet and there is still a long way to my goal.

We went to see "Cars" last week...it's my new favorite movie!

Exercising

2006-06-05T16:42:00.000-07:00

I rode my bike the last few days. I can't ride for long being that I am out of shape. I am riding for about 20 minutes a shot. It doesn't seem like it's a lot but I can feel the difference! I have more energy and I can play with my the boy outside. Last Tuesday, I was dead tired trying to shoot some hoops with my son. He has tons of energy being only 4 he never stops. I realize I need to catch up so I can play with him and my little girl. I know I am doing the right thing for myself and the kids. I am feeling great.

I'm Fat

Hello,
Decided to start a blog. I have gotten alittle too chuncky this past year. I want to lose about 30-35 pounds. I am not happy with my appearance as of late. My husband has always said I look great, but a woman will never believe what they say. We have to feel it ourselves. I am staring to drink my water, lots of it and eat less. My calorie intake should be about 1100 calories per day. I am going to ride my bike and start walking. It's going to be a long road since I am soooo out of shape.
