Exercise, Schmexercise

I don't think I'm very good at this whole blogging thing. I have been checking out some other blogs, and I guess I just don't have a lot to write about.

Well, maybe I do. Ever since we got back from Disney I have had very little motivation to exercise. I only exercised twice last week. And I did not work out this morning. This time change stinks! I do not want to get up in the mornings because it's still dark outside. I'd rather sleep. But I know I need to get my lazy bum out of the bed and MOVE! I guess it's time to hook that second alarm clock up.

I need to do something, I have to wear a bridesmaid's dress next month & a wedding dress at the end of the year.... oh yeah and the fact that I started writing this blog to lose some poundage. =)

Well I guess that's all for now. Here's to hoping I get up in the morning!

Weigh-In Time

I was down this morning! I'm getting excited because I know I can do this!

Previous weight: 139.6
Today's weight: 138.8

It's going slow, but it is going.

I went out to eat last night and had a salad with grilled chicken. I really wanted something more tasty since we were at Jim-N-Nick's. But I guess eating healthy paid off, because I'm sure if I had had something really heavy it probably would have messed with the scale this morning.

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

Can I Maintain Once I Lose?

So I think I wasn't quite as bad as I thought I was in Disney. =) I've cheated and weighed myself twice this week and I'm still around what I was before I left. So I'm excited to see what I weigh on Friday.

I'm a little concerned though that I see my goals as turning 30 and fitting into a wedding dress. I really want to maintain my happy weight when I reach it. That is usually my downfall. I lose the weight, get extremely excited, and then tend to put it all back on. I think it's because I normally have the mindset that it's a diet and not a lifestyle change. I really need to keep it off because gaining and losing is not great for my body.

I know once I get married and I'm cooking more than normal, it will probably be harder for me to keep it down. I know most married couples tend to put on weight and it would be nice if I could keep it off. It would be great if it were simple for me to just be smaller. But I guess hard work will have to be part of my vocabulary and life if I want to enjoy a smaller me.

I'm wondering how the stress of planning a wedding will affect my weight loss. I usually want to eat, even though sometimes I feel like skipping the food. Oh well, pray that I don't pull my hair out. =)

After Disney

Well, I haven't weighed myself. I'm a little scared. I did a lot of walking but I also did a lot of eating. So I may weigh myself next Friday.

However, I have even more motivation now because I'M ENGAGED!! So now I have to lose this weight so I can look good in a wedding dress.=)

No date is picked yet, but I'm one very happy girl!

Hopefully I'll have some very positive posts to blog next week and hopefully a good weigh-in on Friday March 25th!

First Weigh-In

Well, I'm not that excited about my first weigh-in. I guess I definitely could have done better on my eating this week. But here are the results:

Starting weight: 140.2
Today's weight: 139.6

A loss of .6 lbs. At least it's not a gain. Oh well. I won't give up, just need to try harder.

Also don't forget to pray for those affected by the hurricane and possible tsunami that is predicted to happen.

Happy Friday!

Yesterday & Today

I really wish I could eat and eat and eat and lose weight. All I think about is food. I don't know how you start thinking about something else. It's like when you're a child and your parent tells you not to do something, and you do it anyway. But that's pretty much the only thing that seems to be on my mind lately.

But yesterday I did fight some temptation. One of my girlfriends at work offered me part of her Chick-fil-a wrap and I told her she needed to eat it. I wanted it and I love those things, but I also know I have to weigh in on Friday and post it on here, and that wrap would not help my weight loss. Hopefully Friday will be a good weigh-in. I guess we'll see.

I'm beginning to wish I was guy, just for the pure fact that they lose weight so easily. I know I didn't gain this weight overnight and I'm not going to lose it overnight, but it would be nice. =)

I have worked out every day this week. I've been trying to write down what I'm eating and not snacking, but sometimes it's hard. Yesterday I had pretzel M&Ms and a chocolate milk. If you're a girl, you'll know why. =) Sorry guys. But pretzel M&Ms are the most "healthy" out of the M&Ms, so I wasn't too bad.

Well, I suppose I'll quit babbling. I have Bunko tomorrow night, so I'm hoping that I don't go overboard on the food.

I don't know what to write..

I was thinking about it today, and now that I've started a blog, I don't know what to write.

So I guess I'll just write about my day.

I didn't get up this morning and exercise. I was really tired and figured since I was planning on walking this afternoon, I'd be alright. I did go for a walk with a friend from church for an hour. That was definitely a good work out. And going with a friend is much better than going by yourself. As we talked, the walking didn't seem to be that big of a deal. And the time went by really fast.

As for food, I have had almost all of my points but 2. So I guess in a little bit when I'm craving a snack, I can actually have one. I did want to snack while at work. The afternoons always seem to be my weakness. I always want something salty. Luckily, one of my friends at work lets me mooch her Special K Cracker Chips.

Hopefully, tomorrow I won't be feeling quite so lazy and I'll get up and work out.

About Me

So I thought I'd give a little more information about myself so no one thought I was trying to reach some unattainable goal.

Age: 29

Height: 4'10" (and a half =) )

Current weight: 140.2

Birthday: October 1

According to Weight Watchers an ideal weight for me is somewhere between 98-124 pounds. So I'm thinking 114 is an okay weight for me to be at. I know this is going to be tough. I probably haven't weighed that since high school. However, if I do reach a certain weight and I feel totally comfortable with it, I might just stay there... which would mean I'd probably have to change the name of my blog. =)

I want to be smaller!

I have decided to start blogging about my weight loss journey. Thank you Doobie for the inspiration! Hopefully, this will hold me more accountable.

I've struggled with keeping weight off pretty much ever since after high school. That's been about 11 years. I have done the Weight Watchers program on and off for about 10 of those years, so I figure I'll still use that program. About 3 weeks ago I started getting up in the mornings to exercise using the Kinect.

Today while watching The Biggest Loser, I decided that my new goal would be 30 before 30. I've already lost 4 lbs from when I started going back to Weight Watchers, in October. (This has been too long of a period of time with barely any results, so blogging for accountability-YAY!) Well anyway I have 26.2 lbs to lose. I weighed myself yesterday and I was 140.2. Since I started this blog in the middle of this dreary day, we'll just go with yesterday's weight and I'll make Fridays my weigh-in day.

I think my biggest problem is lack of motivation and laziness. Oh & I love food. I should have more motivation since my clothes do not fit and I do not want to buy anymore. (And I have some pretty cute clothes from when I was smaller that I really want to get into.) The laziness has hopefully passed since I have been getting up in the mornings to exercise. And my love for food... well, I just need to make healthier choices and find some healthier recipes. Hopefully posting my weight to the world every week will keep me motivated! Thanks for reading.=)
