New motivation

I have some new found motivation in my quest for weight loss. I am going to a wedding in May. In Florida. You know florida, beaches and bikinis. Hah! I most certainly won't be slipping into one of those any time soon, or ever. But I would like to not look like a cow in my new dress. (I have yet to shop for one though, I would like to drop a size or two before then) My goal is to be 175 by then. That is 20 lbs in ten weeks. Totally doable. Right?

So I guess I took a break

I didn't really lose or gain anything through the month of October. Just the fact that I managed not to gain with my daughters' bday party and halloween candy is a pretty big deal! I am back on track for November though. I have lost four pounds so far. It feels really good to be back on the right track.

down six pounds this week

My life has been kinda crazy lately, which in all aspect really sucks, except that it is doing wonders for my diet, lol. I am sure that when things calm down my weight loss will slow down, but I will take the big losses where ever I can get them. I am determined now to let the scales turn around though no matter what! Haha

I weighed a day early...

and I am down four pounds this week! I am so excited! I had kinda gotten off track a few weeks ago, but now I am focused again and all is going well! I am feeling better and I can tell a big difference already! Yay me!

Down another pound!

I weighed this morning and I am down another pound (215). I had weighed a couple of days ago and I was 214, but I started yesterday so I figure the extra pound this morning was due to that. I am just sticking with my Monday weight though so hopefully next Monday I will be down even more. :)

This weeks weigh in

Despite the stresses of this week I managed to do pretty well. I had gained a little the week before, but I managed to lose that plus one additional pound. So I am down to 216, still behind my goal for the month, but I still have a week left so I will just do my best. I am trying not to get too hung up on a schedule or trying to set rigid goals for myself, my main goal is just to try and lose the weight, if it takes me longer than I hoped that is ok just as long as I am still losing.

A bad day.

I have had a very emotional day and when I am sad or upset I eat. I have tried to keep my eating in check, but I haven't done so hot. I am just praying that the week gets better. I will just fall apart if I get anymore bad news. Between my cousin losing their baby, losing a good friend, and just everyday stress I just want to curl up and cry for the next few days.

I did however force myself to go for a walk this morning. I only walked half a mile, but I guess every little bit helps. I just have to keep pushing through the bad days.
