13 Weeks!!

It has been 13 weeks since I started this challenge to myself...here I am down 20 pounds...that is better than a pound a week!!! I started losing even before New Years Day!!

I feel so much better...today had two bonuses
1. I hit the 20 pound lost mark
2. SOMEONE NOTICED THAT I HAVE LOST WEIGHT!!!!

Wow, what a feeling. I was at work, spent some time talking to a woman who I don't see very often and when there was no one else around she said "you're doing good losing weight...I was checking it out.. you look good" I thanked her and told her how much it meant to me to have her say it. She is heavy, also and I think that those of us in that club really want to make sure that we recognize each other for our successes. It made my day!

I have a meeting on Thursday and I am hoping that I can find one of my smaller skirts that fits so I can wear it...what a great feeling that will be! I am already fitting into some of my smaller clothes. My big pants are fairly new so I am going to have them tailored rather than just get rid of them. I have some older pants that I will either throw out or give to Goodwill.

Oh happy day...I guess I don't have to beware the Ides of March...it was a great day for me!!

walk on a chilly morning

My DH called me at 8am to ask if I wanted to go for a walk when he got home from work. Sure, I said, trying to be cheery, even though he had awakened me from a strange dream. My plan was to get back on track with diet and exercise today, so that was great timing. I put on some jeans that were less than clean, pulled my hair back in a pony tail, slipped on a t-shirt and sweatshirt and waited for his arrival. Shortly after he got home, I was checking out Yoville (almost have enough coin to buy my Cape Cod) when DH made a disgusted noise...he was trying to put my shoes on. You see, my feet are big and so we get our shoes mixed up easily. Anyway, we got our walking shoes on and away we went. It was cold...32 degrees! It was good to get out and walk...I have had so many things going on the last couple weeks that I have really ignored good eating habits and exercise has only been hit or miss. We were walking under the railroad underpass (highline as they call it here) and spotted a tin...

Weigh in day! One month with SP

Today marks my one month anniversary for being back on track with Sparkpeople and my 49 day on this blog challenge. I lost three pounds! I feel great, eat good food and exercise regularly, but I don't over do it! I look forward to another good week. I am not falling into that trap of 'treating myself' on weigh in days, I have to eat as healthy today as I did every other day. I don't want to eat anything that will impede my weight loss and good health!

I want, no I NEED to lose 50 pounds!  I am so sick of the lose and gain - lose and gain roller coaster.  I hate the idea of tracking calories, but I went back to Sparkpeople today.  If I follow the meal plan, I don't have to actually count calories, just eat what the plan tells me.  Maybe this time I can get a jump start and then just get used to eating a healthy, balanced diet.  Exercise is one key ingredient to my success.  Total Gym. here I come!
