3 Pounds Loss

Not to excited this time. I am craving some real food now. It's kind of hard to stay on task. I am doing it but, it's not as easy anymore. I have to find ways to motivate myself.

Sure, I am please with the result but, I wish there was some magic wond. I guess there wasn't any magic when I was consuming more than I was burning off so....the price is consistency now.

I need to find another avenue of exercise and activity. Tough week...but, still  loss weight. 

5 Pounds Lost

A good day at Weight Watchers. I was a little down because I didn't know where my weight was. I knew for sure that I had a good week. But, just looking in the mirror I could tell a thing. Eating so many vegetables and fruit had me bloated on most ocassions this week. But, when that lady said 5 pounds I started to cry.

And, this is the first week that I have deviated from my normal Tuesday @ 11:45 am meeting. I was not feeling myself so I waited for the Wednesday @ 6:00 pm meeting.

So many times this past week I was down on the process. Thinking of ways I could kick start my matabolism. I was thinking that I needed to increase my exercise. But, I just didn't consider all of the activity and exercise I had gotten from the delivering food and going up and down the stairs. And, once I prepared it loading it in the car and the unloading it. And, there were a couple of days when I could not fit my lunch and dinner in. Time was a problem and....I had snacked on so much fruit and vegetable I had made til dinner with just oatmeal or cereal, lots of fruit, and some crackers.

I know without a doubt that's probably not the most nutrious way of going about it. But.....desperate times call for desperate measures.

I was so happy coming home from Weight Watchers. I felt like my work...my efforts had been validated. I was after all on the right track.

So, I have lost 42 pounds now since Feb 1st. My goal is the get to 50 pounds lost by May 1st. That maybe too lofty of a goal but....I am certainly going to try.

This is without a doubt the best I have felt and looked since 2005. Amazing that I treaded water and didn't put my foot forward all those years.

2 Pounds Lost

Definitely not feeling my best. I must I have to give myself credit for making it through Easter without giving in. And, I cooked. I baked a Ham. I did greens with turkey necks. I did yellow rice with sausage in it and, some rolls. It looked and smell good. But, I did not touch it until I weighed on Tuesday. And, then I enjoyed the greens and turkey necks only. I eventually had to freeze the ham and give the rest away. It was well worth the effort. Any weight loss is better than none. I made it through a holiday.

I loved this outfit. And, I thought it looked good on my. Now, it didn't make me feel as shapely as I wanted it too....but, I was very pleased with the look, the sandals, and the nails done. I also thought my make up turned out pretty good. Definitely a step in the right direction of regaining my gracefulness.

Go me!!! I am so glad I decided to set the bar a little bit higher that I had it. I was feeling good on some days but, far from looking it. A new standard....and being consistent has changed my life.

2.8 lbs Loss....

Well, I didn't like the feeling on April 3rd. Even the loss an additional 2.8 pounds I was really tired of the process Tuesday. I just wanted a day not think about what's going in my body. Thankfully I did not deviate from the regiment. I stayed the course. But, nine weeks and 34.8 pounds loss since.....can be an exhausting task. It finally caught up with me. It seems the more I lose the more I realize how much I had gained and what a humungus goal I had set for myself.

I didn't take a picture on Tuesday. I decided to wait. I wasn't feeling smaller. I wasn't feeling my best.

But, today...Thursday and I realizing how much of a difference that amount of wait makes. Wow, I feel so much better. My clothes are so loose.

I heard this at Weight Watchers on Tuesday....

"It is nice to go shopping in your own closet. I was tired of settling on something to wear solely based off of the size and fit alone." 

It is revelation for me too. So many things I had purchase with a disillusioned eye and thought process. I never thought I was as big as I was. But, I was. And, I rationalized my size every day to make myself feel better. Well, now I really feel good. I really continue to be proud of myself.

And, this can get old. But, the daily reward is above all the other things that I feel.

Reality Check Yesterday....

 Was thinking that I was smaller than I was. But, the truth is I am a 14 or 16. Now, that's a far cry from being a 20-22 just 9 weeks ago. But, it is also a far cry from being where I want to be....and where I thought I was for a moment.

It's a good reality check though. That will push me...
