..Just Keep Swimming....

My life has been super busy lately. I have still been exercising but last week I missed 2 out of my 5 days because of late nights getting in so late after handling some business with my husband. That also meant I had to eat out since I could not make dinner. Sucks, but that's life. So this week is going to be a refreshing week to get me back in the groove of things....eating well and exercising everyday through the work week. I need to keep progressing. Happy week to everyone! ..Just Keep Swimming....

56 lbs lost so far

Hey luvs. I have lost a total of 56 pounds since I had my son 4 months ago, and being 412 pounds. Like I said last journal...I am back at it after recovering. Did only 21 minutes of exercise yesterday on my lunch break because I was running behind schedule, but it still made a world of difference. I will be doing anywhere between 20 to 30 minutes of exercise a day everyday mon through fri. I can't say for the weekends because those are my rest and down days usually and its kinda hard to get outta that habit...but we will see. I am transforming so who knows. I'm down 2 pounds since getting back on it from not doing much for a week.

340's I'm coming for you!

Back after a week of Sedentary fun...lol

So I am back in action after a week of being pretty much sedentary besides Monday as I had to recover. Today, I will be resuming my exercise routine going home on my lunch break and exercising for 20 to 25 minutes on the treadmill. I am not really looking forward to doing it because sedentary feels so great, but I know that this journey is one that I refuse to quit or give up on until I am at my goal weight. I am currently 358lbs and am ready to take on the 350s and move on down to the 340s. Let's Go!

Hey all. Just quickly checking in. I am still on the prowl...just had a minor setback that I had to deal with this past week which has left me quite quiet at home recovering. But nonetheless, I am here and still trying to eat well under the circumstances. I should be back to myself in a few days and back at it with eating right and exercising. For now, I am just eating right...or trying should I say.

The Up and Down Battle - Stay Strong

So I did exercise yesterday but I did not eat as well as I would have liked. Went way over my calorie intake just for one of my favorite home made treats, rice krispy treats. So I didn't lose anything and I am sure it was a small set back. But nonetheless, that does not stop me. You know my motto, Every day is a new day to start over! So here I am on that new day to reevaluate my calorie intake. Today I am shooting for under 1500 calories to make up for yesterday. Having these moments can make you feel sad or want to give up but the point of this journey is to experience the ups and downs, but make sure there are more ups than downs, and to reach the ultimate goal. No goal is ever reached without a little setback. Am I right? Now let me not have another set back for at least a year. LOL Here's to a great dieting and exercise day for us all!

Sometimes you have to do things you DON'T want to do

In life there are things we all do that we don't want to do. We go to work everyday, we compromise with our spouses, we wake up instead of sleeping in, etc. There are so many things we do because we NEED to do them and not because you WANT to do them. As I sit here in pain because of exercising for these past 8 days, I realize I do not want to exercise today. I mean are you kidding me? I hurt...no thanks.....

BUT...and this is a big BUTT if you will....I need to exercise. LOL. I need to exercise today on the treadmill at lunch for 30 minutes because I WANT to lose weight. I want to lose a tremendous amount of weight in a year. So, I have to do things that I particularly do not want to. So I will push through, pain and all, and pop a Motrin after I am done and come right back to work like nothing ever happened.

But ask my body, ALOT has happened. Well, I guess my motivation will be the fact that I have lost 12 pounds since starting to walk on the treadmill everyday for 30 minutes last Monday...and today is only Tuesday. I told my body this, and it doesn't care....well, at least not yet. But it will....one of these days soon...it will thank me.

Wish me luck!

In the 350s!!!!

Yes! I did it. I am in the 350s for the first time in over 3 years! woot woot! But no celebration yet, long way to go til I see the bottom of 300s and so on. But for the moment, a small victory! har har har.... Happy Saturday all!
