Weigh in #3

This was a tough workout week, I actually had extra kids over here 3 of the 4 days the kids were in school. Which meant no gym.  I found a new website it's by livestrong DailyPlate basically a calorie counter but it has a 30min workout everyday if you do the workout you press done and it gives you your calories based on your weight and everything!  Then I just go over to the fitbit and can add in the calories.  

Still no soda.

And eating after 7 was good! It sucked!!  When the kids go down I just want to eat!!  

As of Wednesday Morning I was up 2 pounds I was LIKE WHAT!!!  But it finally starting coming off so as of this morning I'm down another 3 pounds!  Which means 11 pounds so far!!  Wouldn't it be so nice to lose 11 pounds a month every month?!  I could be done by summer.....   

This weeks goals

Hit the Gym more often.   

Log my food

Hit my steps

No soda

And no eating after dinner.  

Ugh!!! Starting over... AGAIN!!!

Why, oh why am I back where I was a year ago??  I started out this year fully motivated.  I love my fitbit that I got for Christmas.  It is motivating me to exercise and just be more active even outside of my workouts, but I am seriously struggling with my eating!  Jerry was gone all last week and I thought that would make it easier to eat good.  NOPE!  I was horrible.  Maybe because I knew there was no one here actually seeing how bad I ate.  I've got to get a grip on my eating.  Jerry's birthday is tomorrow, which does make it a little hard.  We're planning to go out for dinner and how on earth can I turn down cake and ice cream??
I need to get back in the habit of really reporting everything on my fitness pal.  Probably the most frustrating part is seeing how quickly and easily the weight can just creep back up.  I worked so hard last year, and in the last 4 months of the year I put pretty much everything back on that I had lost all year.  I can use the stress of moving to a new place and finding new routine to blame, but still I have to learn to deal with stress without pigging out.  Sadly, I am realizing how much eating is a part of weight loss.  And I love to eat! :(  So I will try to get back on the wagon... again, this week.  I can't get discouraged when I don't lose 10 pounds or 10 inches in a week.  I need to just keep plugging along and give myself 4 weeks to even expect to notice any difference.  But, I know I'm still going to fully enjoy cake and ice cream tomorrow night.

Weigh in #2

Well I really was hoping for a grand number this week.  With the fitbit it gives you goals so I thought for sure hitting all those every day would have to pay off.  It paid off with 1 pound.   I did a little  blog research and that was exactly what I lost week 2 last time.  "So keep going" I am telling my self....

I've enjoyed the fitbit this week it has me getting 30 activity mins which I usually hit really quick except for Friday I'm guessing it wasn't on right I spent a hour and half at the gym (hour being cardio) and I left with 13 mins of activity walking 10,000 steps which I usually get pretty easy.  But the 5 miles takes till about 11,000 steps and I think it has me 2697 calories which to be honest there are times at 11:30pm I'm doing jumping jacks trying to hit this number.


I've also fell in love with detox bath, I'm going to try take one a week.


Still no soda.  Which yesterday at the grocery store they were giving everyone a soda!!  I was like REALLY!!!  The kids got one and Maylee kept having me hold hers I think she may be against me.

Hardest part is night time!  Once the kids are in bed all I want to do is EAT!!

Weigh In #1

Weigh In #1 of the new lifestyle.....  Before I give the information a little about this week.

Probably wasn't the best week to start.  (remember one of the goal was no soda)
 - Family in town
 -Anniversary- week of
 -Time of the Month
 -kids back to school
 -husband back to both jobs


I'm happy to say No soda touched these lips!  It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  At the end of week the loss is 7.2 pounds yes that .2 is very important! :P

I got my fitbit!!  Gary also got one so I'm hoping next week it gives me a goal to reach and helps motivate me to keep moving!!

I'm BACK!!

I have been fighting the bulge a nice YoYo hoping this time it stays down.  I get to a certain point then plateau get frustrated and eat!!  I feel like after Dallin it was just a lot harder I don't know.  My plan is to use this blog and go back and forth and review my progress and hopefully help me when i get frustrated!

I did take before pics I put those up at the end of the month and hopefully their will be a difference!!  

This weeks goal is hard for me to even type.

-Getting off the diet soda!!  UGH Soda in general, I dropped soda the first time around but it was regular coke cola so logically it made since stop drinking and save calories.  Diet has no calories so logically it makes it harder for me.  BUT I have seen enough videos and read enough to know it's not good. So hopefully I can stay away.  I really drink it like I SHOULD drink water.  So I'm really nervous.  

-Watching what I eat, trying to stay within calories and watch out for carbs. 

- Workout M and W - Strength Training

- T, TH and Sat- Cardio

Friday I'm thinking maybe a walk and Sunday off 

Wish me luck....
