Wow...I am proud of myself

The realization has just dawned on me that if I lose 2 pounds again this week I will have less than 50 pounds left to lose!!!  It is still a huge wall to climb, but 2 months ago I never thought I would have had this much success so quickly.

I hope the one donut (actually 2 half donuts) that I ate for Fasnacht Day won't hurt me this week. I still stayed within my calorie range so it shouldn't - I froze the rest of the box after DH ate his share so they aren't a temptation to me for the rest of the week.  

I am increasing my workouts to 5 thirty minute workouts this week.  This isn't easy for me cause I really don't like to work out. I don't get that rush of endorphin that supposedly come with exercise.  I really have to push myself to do a workout but the more success I see, the easier it is to get myself motivated.  Today was a day off from exercise - the next three days I will be able to get up and have a good workout first thing in the morning.  I am doing okay with my lower calorie goal but it has been tough a couple of days.  Did well today - I just have to keep remembering the success I have had and thinking of how great it will be when I can fit into those size 12 jeans again!!!!

Ok...I just thought of something...some of you are saying size 12?? that is still big...well...I am here to tell you that it is not!  For me...wearing size 12 jeans - I will look and feel great. I don't care that according to the fashion world size 12 is still plus size!  It isn't !!!!!

Flowers...springtime...sunshine!!!

I got up this morning and took a walk. We went out for a light breakfast before heading home.  I have been doing my flower gardening in stages.  I love having flowers, but I am too lazy to do a lot of gardening so I did it in steps: Cut back dead growth from last year Attacked the weed-vine that invades everything in our small back yard. Attacked the weed - vine again...and again...finally found some of its roots and dug them out...that was no small task Put down some bags of garden soil...more exercise...they were heavy Put up a wooden border to keep the dirt away from the grass Today I finally planted my Iris', lilies, and  Aquilegia Took a break to write my blog I want my flower garden to be all Perennials so each year I will have a beautiful display without much work.  The hardest part will be keeping the invading weeds out!! Time for a shower!! Stay healthy and enjoy the weather!!

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 ...

Let's Recap...

Now seems like a good time to go back and look at my goals to see how I am doing. The last set of short term goals I set were these: 1. Eat a more balanced diet (less carbs, more protein and...silly as it sounds...more fat) 2. Stick to between 1300 and 1400 calories a day 3. No Lattes for a week... put $2.00 in my goal jar for every day I don't drink a Latte How have I done? 1. I really make an effort to eat protein with each meal...sometimes that is a handfull of nuts...I added them to a salad the other day and it was very good 2. Doing well here, I seldom go below 1300 and although I do go over 1400 some days, I rarly go above 1500, my top end goal is 1560 so I am eating a good amount of food 3. I have had one or two non-fat lattes since I started this goal...just like diet soda, the less I have them, the less I want them. I will review my other goals tomorrow!
