Happy Friday Eve

Great day ya'll. It's Friday eve and I am thrilled. After a long work week filled with meetings and long days and nights, I can't think of anything better than a weekend of rest. My 2 sons are going to their grandparents (my in laws) for the weekend, which leaves me with a day to myself as my husband goes to work on Saturday, and a day for just the hubby and I on Sunday. It's been a minute. And although I'll probably spend this wonderful "me time" cleaning on Saturday...I will do so knowing that it is only adding to the wonderful movement and exercise I have been doing that has me successfully losing weight. So, I weighed myself this morning and I am down a solid 3 pounds!!!! And yes, I am a daily weigher. What can I say? I'm a need to know like right now type of gurl. So I am 360 pounds and about the hit the 350s for the first time in about 3 years when I was doing Medifast (see previous blog entries). I feel a huge transformation in the near future!!!

So, I technically am down more than I logged but I went back up because of the weekend of good eating at the beach! But I am happy to even log this minimal change because it means that I am doing something right. I am not excited though until I see the 350's. I should have been in the 350's but I can't cry over spilled milk, just have to keep moving and doing what I am doing and I should see the 350s in no time. I am just hoping to keep everything going so I can see a new number every two weeks. like 350s...then 340s...then 330...etc. Everyone have an awesome day!

Lunchtime Workout a Success!

Just got back from walking 30 minutes on the treadmill and let me tell you my body is asking me WHHHYYYY!!! LOL. I also did 30 minutes yesterday too. I am going to keep this up to see if there is a difference in the scale. I believe so. I only ate 1100 calories yesterday, and I doubt it will be any different today. SHOUTOUT to my FS friends! You all rock with motivation and pick me ups....that's why I need you all for this long journey. I hope you all are also doing well!

Long Time no Blog

I have not been on here for at least 2 years, but wanted to start it back up as I continue this weight loss journey. After having my son on April 18th, I was 412 pounds and determined to get to a healthy weight as I was trying to do before I was preggers. Now, 363 pounds, I am down 49 pounds and won't stop. I want to share this journey with whoever dares to read as many people go through this struggle in life. I have concurred everything I put my mind to, so why should this be any different? It isn't. So I will succeed....in time. I am currently walking on my treadmill for at least 30 minutes 3 times a week and eating 1500 or less calories a day. I go through ups and downs but will see this to the end, which is my goal of 180 pounds. Thick with nice curves, but not morbidly obese. This is an intimate subject for me as I have confidence for days and love myself and my body, but am ready to LOOK the way I FEEL. Care to join me and watch me on this journey? My blog is back active! Let's get it!

ARGH!!

All comments are welcome:

Although I know that I am not stopping or quitting my dieting habits, I do get a lil thrown or discouraged when I stp on the scale daily and see a gain...no matter how small, when I know that I know that I know that I have been dieting well under my BMR and exercising 20 and 30 minutes a day. I understand that the body flunctuates and blah blah blah but it is still discouraging no matter the reason. I will definitely still be dieting for sure, but I can't help but hope that tomorrow stepping on the scale yields a loss after 2 days of a gain. I mean geez...I'm 370sum, why should little flunctuations affect me when I have alot to lose. Why does the body do this to me....ARGH!!!

Back into the habit!

3 days back into Medifast and I must say the adapting to the foods has been alittle horrible but I have stuck with it. Needless to say, DINNER is like my favorite time of the day. We must admit, Medifast foods are an acquired taste and initially they are QUITE nasty to be honest. It is only after eating those foods and ONLY those do your taste buds adjust to thinking they taste better. Right now though, I am still trying to hold my breath and drink...lol. These are days when I ponder on nutrisystem, BUT medifast just loses weight faster and is healthier...therefore I rather eat dirt and lose if the results will come much faster. I am looking forward to seeing the scale drastically go down day by day and week by week and hope to be where I was before VERY soon because I never made it past 327.

Have a good day!

Amber Alert: Gone MIA

So,

I've gone MIA for a lil while. That tends to happen when you get off the weight loss bandwagon. A lot has happened in my life that have caused food rage (similar to road rage). Nonetheless, I have checked myself and am back on the program. Hold the phone, not back directly on Medifast, but back to my calorie counting and trying to get in some exercise. I have tried Curves, walking, dancing, as well as Zumba...and just trying to figure out which one I like the most. Well, while I do that...here is my latest FastSecret Post:

Weekend...need I say more? lol. But the weekend was really up and down....getting back in the groove of dieting takes more than just exercise and calorie counting. It takes a self check and maybe even a self snatch. You know what that is? Its the think where you yank yourself and tell yourself to pull it together..."remember those smaller size pants...remember you wanting to be smaller by X date....then GET IT TOGETHER!" I've had to do that to myself a million times now. I always said I would never quit....well,

Happy Monday and have a great week od eating...I know I will!
