Back on Track

The image on the left is my update. I don't know if you can really see much of a difference but there is a 6 sizes difference! I am still working my buns off literally but it is always fun to see a little bit of a difference! In person I think the difference is much more noticable. Not to toot my own horn but I have worked really hard to lose these 34 pounds! I will still continue to update!

I am now back on track to hopefully losing the rest of the weight I need to get off of my body. It will make me happier with myself but I also feel better. I have done really well for about a week and a half even though I haven't lost any pounds I am definately losing some inches. I joined a weight loss challenge for over the holidays hopefully that will help me to stay focused and make some really good progress. I lost 25 pounds when I was working at it the last time and that was over 2 and a half months then I just maintained for a 6 months or so but when the kids all got sick I put about 8 pounds back on so now I am working really hard to lose those plus the rest of what needs to go. I even thought I would post a picture (not even a good one)

That is my Back on Track update for now. I will post occasionally to let mostly myself know but if you are reading this maybe you are interested.

I have decided that I will just continue to edit this post with my updates. I will just do each update in a new color.

My update today is that since my first post I have lost 4 pounds (that was last friday one week ago!) When I started to get back on track I was 3 pounds more than than my last week on friday weight so total I have lost 7 pounds! I will just go off of friday's weight though. To do this I have been working out at least 50 minutes 5 days a week and 20-30 on saturday. I also try and keep my calories really low so everything I eat I try and make it something really healthy. I hope next week goes just as well as this week has! On a side note I haven't had any pop for two and a half weeks!

Dec 1st. My update is I made it through Thanksgiving without over eating and I was able to exercise six days last week! I have decided that I am really going to be successful this time and even when I feel like it is killing me. Exercise is still not an easy thing for me. I procrastinate for as long as I possibly can!

Ok so in the begining I told you how I had lost 25 pounds and gained 8 of those back. Well my post now is that today is week 4! I have lost 12 pounds (9 for my weight loss challenge)!! So I am officially at my 30 pound mark!! I am so excited that I probably won't weigh myself for another week or so! I did do two weeks in a row of 6 50 minute workouts! I am also adding a turbo workout in. I have been trying to do 500 calorie burns per workout and I will add 2 more a week that are 750. That means another 25 minutes to the workout! Wish me luck!

Dec 22nd, I am at 32 pounds lost since February. My weight loss has really slowed down in the last three weeks. It is so frusterating. I have been working out for just about over an hour six days a week. I did check some measurements from February to now and I have lost 6 inches around my waist alone and some in my calves and pouch. So that is awesome! I am really hoping to pick up the pace for the next two weeks because I really really want to win the weight loss challenge. I am at 11 pounds for that. If I can just get a few more lost that would be great! I have been eating a few cookies so I need to not do that! I guess we will see how it goes! Wish me luck!

Well I thought I would just update how things ended for the weight loss challenge. I got 4th place out of 32 (20 actually finishing). I lost a total of 12 lbs for the challenge so that is great! I am still working on losing weight of course so I am exercising everyday and trying to eat more fruits and veggies! I have lost another pound this week, my goal is 4 in January so off I go again!
Well off towards the end of January and I am stuck! I lost a pound so three to go by the 31st! That means 11 days and three pounds! I am really excited about what I have accomplished though! I just went shopping this last weekend with my mom and sister and I was able to comfortably buy a size 10! I have lost 6 sizes this year and that is AWESOME!!! I didn't think I would ever start shrinking! I am the smallest I have been since Olivia was born and that was almost 7 and 1/2 years ago! I am going to really focus on Mind over Matter and work on the 4 (fruits and veggies) 3 (protiens) 2 (whole grains) and 1 (extra fats, sugars, oils)! My goal is to really get to where I feel great about me and just be healthy! So that is my update for now, we shall see how it goes!
