Weigh In

I gained 0.4 lbs, which was to be expected. It was a very rough week. I was sick. I did not count calories, just ate for strength and only worked out 1 day. =( Not what I wanted especially since I have a goal to hit, but sometimes life throws you curve balls. I am definitely getting back on track, now that I am feeling better. Can't believe November is almost over. Where did this month go??

Weigh In

A day late on posting, but I weighed in yesterday at 177.4 That's a loss of 1.2 this week. YEA!

I woke up yesterday feeling horribly nauseous. I couldn't keep anything down. Spent the day with my head hovering over the toilet. By noon, I had to call hubby home from work, to take care of our baby boy. I went straight to bed and slept for about four and a half hours. I woke up, headed straight to the bathroom to get sick and I passed out. Hubby came in and rushed me to the hospital. We were there for about 7 hours. I got lots of fluids, meds, and they finally let me go home. They think it was just some kind of bug and I got dehydrated. I hate getting the stomach bug. It is the worst!!!! So, I spent today making sure to eat and drink lots of fluids. Going to take tomorrow off from the diet as well. I am still weak and need some nourishment. Will get back on plan first thing Monday. So anyway, that was my weigh in day. Fun stuff huh?!

The upside to dieting....

Is that when you are making bad eating choices, this little stinker:

comes along and wants to eat your food, so it all works out. You still come in way under your calories, b/c he ate all your food. =) HAHA! This week has been a bust. I haven't done so great on the eating part. I do really great during the day, then dinner time comes and I have just been eating whatever. I guess we will see tomorrow at weigh in what damage I did. I have journaled my eats, worked out, and done lots of cleaning at the house. So maybe between all the activities and Brody eating my meals, I maintained or lost a little at least.

My little man's 1st birthday is in just 3 weeks and I really hope to be close to 170. When he was born my goal was to be under 150 by his first birthday. Well of course that did not happen. I procrastinated way to long. I am proud of the 46 lbs I have lost since he was born, but a year later I should have been able to hit my goal. I honestly for a few months there, just didn't care. Then one of my closest friends got married. The next week pictures of her big day were posted and I was in the background of one of them. 

This is what I saw:

My jaw hit the floor. Really? I am that big? Well at that moment I said no more. I will lose it. So, this picture is the reason I am back on this journey. This is what gave me the want to... to lose the weight. I will not be this big. I am proud to say in the last, a little over, a month I am down a jean size, and about 10 pounds. I have around 28 more to go, but I am headed there and that's what counts! 

Weigh In...

Whoop Whoop... I passed the 180 mark. YEA! I lost 1.4 this week weighing in at 178.6. The scale is going down my friends. =) 

It's a new month so time for some new goals:

1. Workout at least 4 times a week.

2. Lose 8.6 lbs to pass the 170 mark.

3. Journal all my eats.

4. Try a new workout.

Short, but sweet.

Here's to a great week!
