HULA

Well we just decided last night that we really need a vacation...we usually go camping/roadtripping but have never just went somewhere to relax, So we are going to be going to Hawaii on may 1st. Neither of us have ever been and I am super excited but also I am really nervous about this weight I need to get off. I mean I wanted to look good for my HS reunion this summer but I had no doubts about that timeline. May 1st is only one month away!! Any quick loss schemes besides starvation you ladies know of???

Update

Well the scale hasn't budged but I have been sticking to my workout plan like glue.....eating plan is still a hit and miss. I just love food so much, I do eat healthy all week long but I seem to go bonkers on the weekends. Any advice ladies?

Boys suck...

Okay Molly Rose I commented on your last post about how I was so excited about this new guy I'm seeing...talk about a major disappointment. Needless to say he is no longer in my life hahahahaha. The only thing I can really do is laugh at this point. ;) I have learned a valuable lesson in the dating department and I am way more determined to lose weight. lol

I have no idea where I am right now on the scale but I know it's not budging. So I am going to amp things up. Try to do the walking videos at least 4-5 times a week, swimming twice a week, and just keep walking with my mom. My eating habits have been very off lately but I am getting back on track with WW. I will lose this weight no matter what! I am so grateful to you ladies. I am glad I can come on here and talk not only about my weight loss but about my failed romantic life haha. You ladies are the best. Lets lose some weight!

Focussing on gratitude.....maybe that will help?

Hi Ladies! Sorry I've been out of touch for a bit. I am still trying to climb that wicked wall out of my funk. I think this past week of warmer weather and sunshine did it - or at least got it started. I've been down for the count for two days with lower back pain, and last night I slept about 1 hour! I called in today and went back to bed. I woke up at 11am! I guess my body was trying to tell me something.

Anyway, I bought an eliptical from a co-worker and it was delivered on Thursday. I am about to use it for the first time - as long as my back holds up through it. I have also started working out a plan B for getting out of my toxic work environment. It's scares the living daylight out of me to be thinking of career change at 41 with two kids a year and two away from college. ugh.

Anyway, I am vowing to find at least one thing to be grateful for each day to help me continue moving in the right direction. Today, it's you two! :)

Back in the game

I think that I really enjoy the YMCA this time around. I have met some inspiring people there already and that is encouraging. My home and work life is becoming a downer for me I am so overloaded and I am at a major burn out. I don't know what is going on in my relationship, it's like 8 years is just slipping downwards to dark. I am so worried that it could become full on depression. I am really trying to focus on the positive right now and the only positive for me is that I am finally feeling comfortable in my skin, for the first time in a long time and nothing and no one can take that feeling from me.

Sammy I promise that I will post some pics soon...my sisters and I are going to a concert soon and we went last year around the same time so I will be sure to post last years and this years so you and christine can see the change. I really owe you both a big thank you. This blog has helped my so much. I am so thankful we have this...Christine THANK YOU. Sammy THANK YOU.

Day light savings...change of plans and time

Well I am so fed up with waiting on getting my elliptical. I am joining the YMCA again instead. There is more to do and how often will I really get up and use an elliptical at home. I have a friend who wants to meet me there(YMCA) 2x a week and then I want to go on my own 3x a week. It is litterally right across the street from my work, like I can see it from my office. I can go workout in the morning and go to work from there. It is sort of expensive...$46 a month. But you know what I spend that a month on stupid stuff I don't need like food. So I am going to make it work. I need to get this last 9 lbs off by May or I have failed myself and my goal. May will be one year since I started this journey and I want to have reached my goal by then.

March Goals

Hey there ladies. Sammy you have set yourself a very attainable goal for March. You CAN do it! I am sure you will. If you need motivation then think of your heart...it's a muscle and it needs to be worked to stay healthy. Keep at it Sammy, I know you are still recovering so focus on safely exercising. How are you doing with the walking plan?

After Feb(total bust) I need to really get on it. I shoveled and spread gravel over the weekend and boy what a workout!! I am so sore and that sucks because my job is physical. I still haven't gotten my ellpitical because living in a small city when they are out of stock, which they are, you have to wait 14 days before they get more in so I have lost a week of planned running on it. Pooh! I hope they are in today. It has been raining so no walking since last week. Really could've put that elliptical to good use! My sisters and I are going to see a concert on April 15th and I want to lose about 5 pounds before then so...My March thru April 15th goal is to lose 5 lbs. That would put me only 4 lbs away from my goal weight. Then it's on to toning it all up hopefully in time for summer, and the big reunion!!

How is everything?

Hey ladies how is everything. Everything going well? What's your goal for March? Mine is to lose two pounds!

Not doing to hot

Hello ladies I hope all is well.
I'm unfortunately having a hard time being motivated these past couple weeks. I have not been tracking my food on WW and I haven't been very active lately. I feel so down and I am frustrated with myself. I really want this to work and yes I have slowly improved some of my eating, but I still feel like I'm not doing enough. I haven't lost any weight last week and so far I have only lost 5Ib. Sunday's weigh in is not looking pretty. I can use some advice from you ladies. Anything would help :).
