15 pounds to go

Yes I am still here.  We went to Disneyland a few weeks ago when I was 16 pounds to go.  Then when I got back it took me till well this week to get back into gear.  I would start then the little excuse would come up and I would drop everything.  This week I feel like cross my fingers I finally have a schedule.  But I am nervous it is our Spring Break all next week which means Gary and the kids will be home.  Which means even though we are not leaving town, going crazy on vacation mode!! 

I have been eating a apple for Breakfast
lunch-Pitta Pizza (pitta bread, pizza sause, a little cheese and lean turkey oven at 400 for 5 mins!)
dinner-  Just watching my quantity. ( I am kind of counting calories in my head then making dinner around that)

So far this week I have workout every day but Wed. But in my offense Wed was beyond crazy and by the time the day ended, I felt  like I ran a marathon! 

And the best news of the week.  I am a COKE/PEPSI girl, but hate diet coke the taste of it nasty!  This last week I found PEPSI NEXT!!  It is good I can do it! 

Frustration

Yes, I'm frustrated. Why does it have to be so hard?? Why does food have to taste so good? I printed up the training schedule for the half marathon that we followed, wondered if that is going to be the only way I'll get in shape - but I don't have the time to run that far every Saturday. I also want to save my feet a little bit. I took my waist measurements the other day because I was making a skirt, and found measurements I'd taken on Nov. 1st. Only 2" smaller!!! WHAT??!! That was less than 2 months after I'd had Luke and now it's 4 1/2 months later and I've only lost 2 inches. I had lost more in my lower belly area, but still. So. far. to. go.
So yes, I'm frustrated. It doesn't help that I chose to write this on a day when I'm extremely exhausted anyway - sorry for the depressing update.
BUT I'm not giving up. I can't! I don't want to be this size, or bigger forever.

Vacations, vacations

It is so hard to eat good while you're on vacation. And I didn't! I am proud of myself for exercising a couple of the days we were at my sister's. And we did a ton of walking while in New York, but I ate a LOT of junk! Once we came home I did exercise and tried to eat good, but I was still mentally on vacation since Jerry was still home. I also had some sick kids so I wasn't able to get to the gym, so I just worked out at home. Tomorrow I'm going back to the gym. I feel like I workout harder at the gym because I'm not so rushed. Wish me luck.

16 pounds to go!

Had to do the weigh in today! I lost 4pounds and actually measured my waist on Monday and I lost one inch!

10 weeks!

Sarah will be here in 10 weeks! Give me new motivation to get my butt in gear! I am trying to be more realistic, it is hard for me. I want to wake up and be where I was and it is not happening. I keep doing this drastic diets which only last for a week, because there is no way I can live by it. I keep trying to talk myself into doing it how I did it before, but then I don't know what happens and I end up on some crash diet. So I have am trying to talk myself into that losing 1 to 2 pounds a week is okay. I changed my trigger and my goal is to loose 20pounds in 10weeks. That is only 2 pounds a week. And I think/hope the first 10 will come off pretty easy leaving the second 10 that will hopefully at least come off??? Wish me luck it is getting very frustrating.

March is here!

March is already here! Wow, that came fast. I didn't quite make my goal of losing 25 lbs, but I did lose 16.5 which is a better place than I was. This week I only lost .5 lb. Not good. But I'm going to try to stay positive because I did exercise every day and ate well, so I'm hoping it was a losing inches/building muscle kind of a week. But I'm really hoping to lose 3.5 lbs this week. I know... ambitious. But at least it will average out to 2 lbs per week. We are going on vacation on Thurs so that will make it even harder - but possible.

My new goal is to lose 20 lbs by the time we come to Vegas in May. I still won't be at my ultimate goal - but much closer than I am now.
