I'm a loser!

Just a little update. I lost 10 pounds this week!! I feel like I'm getting back to the basics of eating right and exercising. I know I can't lost that much each week and shouldn't, but it's a great new start as I continue down this "loser" road.

continuing on this extreme makeover journey..........

It has been several weeks since I have written on this blog due to being way too busy and not giving enough attention to my weight loss journey. I have been on a plateau since about April, and now I'm starting to gain back some weight but, instead of giving up, gaining it all back, and quitting the whole journey, I am doing what I have been taught and have learned to do in a challenging situation: go back to the basics and do those things that I know will give me weight loss success. I went back to my WW center today and joined for another session and I am continuing with my trainer at the Y. I am now ready to get back with it and continue to lose. I would appreciate the prayers of my family and friends as I continue to do positive things to make this journey happen. This may take years!!!

Good news! I've been a little out of pocket for the last few weeks, but I started back with my trainer today. I'm already sore, but knew that would happen!! I've also started on another 10 week session with Weight Watchers. I haven't lost significant weight in the last few weeks, but I keep remembering that this is a journey and every little step counts.

Wow! I haven't been very good about putting my losses on here. I've been really busy, but that's never a good excuse. I will do my best to catch up on here and then it will be a while before I post again due to being out of the country on a cruise vacation during spring break with the family. I have been keeping up with cardio 4-5 times a week and keeping my food journal points for at least 5 days out of 7. I have lost another 1.2 pounds since I last posted. That's now an official total of 26.8 pounds. It's been slow, but consistent. I plan to continue my cardio while we're on the cruise at their fitness center onboard the ship. I do plan to eat sensibly, but there will be lots of food so I hope I don't gain weight! Bon voyage!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

I did it!! I hit the 25 pound mark!!! (Actually, it's 25.6, but who's counting?) My WW leader recognized me at the meeting this morning and gave me a 25 pound weight loss charm. This is very exciting!! Have a wonderful valentine's day!!

Another pound lost this week! My total now is 23.8 pounds lost. My gameplan for this next week is to write it if I bite it (journaling food points with WW) and to do my cardio exercise for at least 5 times this week. I REALLY want to hit that 25 pound mark next week!

I'm a loser! In a good way though. I lost two pounds this week which puts me officially at a total of 22.8 at WW. For some reason, the scales at the Y show a 26 pound total, but I go by the "official" scales at my WW meetings. I hope to hit the 25 pound mark soon!!!!!!!
