About to get my workout on.... Someone this week motivated me a liitle more with a couple of simple words, thanks Anthony Johnson. I appreciate everyone that has motivated me and keep me going with just a liitle help along my way... Andre Johnson, Kimberly Proulx OConnor and anyone else who has just said anything or helped with anything about my journey! THANK YOU! Still 230lbs, but Im not doing bad. Once again I have not gained! Its beed alittle hard, working overtime, holidays, its cold and I wanna just hibernate, lol! I still have 4 mo to meet my goal of 200lbs by march when I go to Fl. I will make it. Baby plans and everything is riding on this!! Sorry its been awhile since I blogged but im back. Thanks for the support!!

Day 50

       My weight is now 233.8....PROGRESS! Any progress is good progress to me, im glad Im going down and not up. So I started going to the gym more with Andre. Its funny cause he goes much faster then me on the tredmill and the elipticle and I still loose the same amount of calories. He is such a competitor and Im not. So to have him bust his butt and me still win is nice.
     I also got my sister invilved alittle bit we went to the resevoir yesturday (my favorite place) and the girls road there bikes. Im hoping to rub off on her so she can feel as good as I do about myself. After awhile its kinda addicting, I do have to say. For the last two weeks I have not been as stricted on my eating as I was in the past and it makes me feel guilty. Which is a good thing because what Im eating is always in the back of my head on every calorie I eat. Before it was whatever went in went in, LOL!
     I have 7mo to hit my goal of 50lbs which from when I started will bring to me 200lbs, Now I only have 33.8 to go. At the rate Im going I think Ill make it and better! We are going to Florida in April and it will be great to be 200 and less! Everyday ia still a struggle and I dont deprive myself which is helping me to stay on track, just remember eat less and exercise and progress will happen!

Day 31

      This week has been so stressful with friends and family, hard times. Times that I wish never would come. It kinda is hurting my weightloss and Im sick. So with both of this I thought my progress was going to be not where I want it. So I weighed myself today and I weigh 237.2lbs. Maybe the stress helped, IDK cause it never has helped with my weightloss before.
      Im loving this, I put on my capri's that I where pretty often and they are baggy, at the belly and thighs. Thats great because those are to spots that I really need to loose!! Im going to start going to the gym next week, when we are able to and have a sitter. Teja starts school so it will be alittle easier to go and andre can come with me.
     Andre I LOVE YOU! You are so supportive of everything I do and/or shouldnt do, Thank you! Even if I dont agree with how you support me, long story!
      Its great to have someone always there even when you feel like the rest of the world isnt. My weightloss Journey gives me something to keep my mind on thats positive and not the stuff that hurts. When aia get upset I go for a walk or do my video instaed of eating. It def crosses my mind and I have messed up here and there. But the best part is I am so conscience abgout what goes in my mouth, my calories. Before I never looked at calories and I never would think about everything that goes in my mouth or out for that matter cause sometimes I talk to much.
     O and yesturday was my gramps Bday (RIP), HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I love you and miss you. I know you and nanna had a great party together and I know you are so proud of what Im doing for my body. You know my nanna helped with me eating junk. She use to give me soda,chocolate,chips,pizza...whatever I like and I loved it. Yet she use to tall me I should loose weight. I love her for that she was always in the back of my mind with my weight and Im doing this for them because I know they are looking down on me and are so proud of me getting rid of my bad habits that they loved to spoil me with,LOL! LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH!!

            Thanks everyone!
           

Day 28

      Whaooo! So happy I am officially 239.0lbs. I dont remember the last time I was in the 30's. This is keeping me going, I am trying to weigh my self every week now cause its weird. Sometimes I will loss weight, workout and then my weight will go up and two days later it will go back down. Whe I see that I my weight went up its discouraging, so no more of that. Monday I will be posting my measurments again.
      Today is the day of the hurricane and alot of place are closed and I cant go to my favorite spot to work out so its work out video time. That video makes me sweat my butt off. I hate it but I love it cause thats what helps me loss the weight. I think Im going to invest in a sweat band,LOL!
      The last couple of weeks have been stressful with life relationships and I found myself wanting food for comfort. I did eat, but I eat the right things. I am working on it and working on no stress. I talked to a friend about whats been going on and I have realized that she probably knows me better then all my friends. She isnt always around, but we always end up finding eachother. Thats the friend that means the most! The one that is there even when she is not physically there. She understands me and the decions I make. We are helping eachother with what we are both going through and Im glad I can be there for her. Everyone might not like her or like her dicisions but which one of my friends actually do like eachother.
     Well I got alittle of track,  but stress is apart of weightloss and gain and I just needed to talk about it. Thank again everyone for reading my posts and SUPPORTING me!  :)

08-16-2011

        Just wanted to let everyone know how great I feel!!!!!!!! Went to the resevoir today with Teja. She rode her bike and it was much easier for her. I ran alot and I felt great! Im going to go like twice a wekk, I love that place, its so pretty.Today with eating was a great success!
        I dont know everything about loosing weight, but I am learning. There is so much opinions out there about how ppl think ppl should loose weight. I take then all into consideration, Thank you! I need a game plan a routine, but in my life a routine is just not reachable. So my game plan is to eat right, work out more and just stay positive.
      I cant let anyhting about this journey make me feel down even if I gain a lb. Ill I can do is try. I want to loose 50ls by Aprill 2012 and I wont stop there. This journey is FOREVER!! Its a life change because once I change it ill be damned if I go back! Im doing this for me and my life!! I will do this always.
      If anyone wants to join me I will love it, I will support you and help you like I have support. Its the best to be supported. My friend wants to get together a support group to talk about what we experience, give advice and exchange healthy recipes. Let me know

       

8-14-2011

    So Im realixing that finding great tasting good things and healthy to eat is easier then I thought and filling. Im finding my stomach is shrinking which is great! This will help me to eat less and not feel hungry which I havent been.
    One thing I def  lack in is exersice. I dont go to the gym, I walk, but def need to walk more. Mt friend Kim wants to start a support group and maybe this will help and a friend at work wants to walk with me. Im a chicken and scared and wont walk in certain places by myself. So this week I pledge to myself to get to the gym!!!
     My friend kim is doing great, when I look at her I def can tell and I want people to look at me and saw wow, good job. In just a month you can tell the difference and that great!
     My things to work on the most is my belly, under my arms and my inner thights. Does anyone have and exercise to help my chin,LOL! :)
    So started at 251lbs. and I and now 246lbs, just the beginning of my journey and a very nice one if I might say. Im happy Im doing this, but I still have work and a little more self control and motivation to work on.

Day 7

    So I havent wrote in a couple of days cause I messed up! I didnt eat right when I went to a function because they had absolutly nothing healthy! I had 2 slices of pizza and that my weakness and some potato salad. A small amount of potato salad, but what I did so wrong id that I didnt stop, I had 2 more! I was so mad at myself. I felt so guilty!! After I thought about it, it helped me at this party so much. I didnt like how I felt when I had that pizza, I felt like here we go again back to the same way of eating. But no cause it just made me feel like crap that I let myself down. One lesson learned!!
 So Im finding it easier to eat better, but Im not finding it easy to find time to work out. My days are so busy!Im trying. I park further away from place and to day I had a party, there was a bounce house. So why not... I got in it. I sweated my butt of bouncing, but hey if it works then do it! I had will power and eat good at the cook out too. I loose weight like everyday.
I dont know yet if I should keep weighting every day or every week? Soon I will be posting my weight and measurments, brace yourselves people,LOL!
 

Day 4

       Yesturday was kinda a struggle. I ate right, but was feeling constantly hungry. I tried to trick myself with water, but it didnt help. Got some exercise with teja,andre and the dog we walked.
       Today was much better I didnt really feel hungry and if I did I had water and fruit. Took teja and my niece to a softball field and did laps around the outside of it. I did some jogging to, Im trying to push myself Pep talks help alot. It sounds silly but it kept me going. What makes this all worth wild is since monday I lost 2lbs. Its exciting!!!

Day 1

     So I started my journey on monday, So far so good its been 3 days. Im doing some more exercise, on tue I went on a 3.8mi hike. Sometimes I felt like dieing but kept going, even running sometimes.Im doing this for my family ans because andre and I want more kids, when I left the hospital after giving birth to teja I cried. I was so upset at what I was looking at. I never want to feel that way again!!!! I have alot of support and is looking out for more.
      My family is very supportive and join me as well as my friend kim. If it wasnt for her I wouldnt be so motivated. She is doing great with her weight loss and I want to conquer this with her, so we can be two hot mamas on our 30th birthdays!
Thanks Kim!

I dont think Im struggle yet ask me next week.

Today wed, we as a family are going swimming, I love swimming so I will do some laps in the pool.
