I’m back at it again! I swore to myself that I was never ever going to see 200+ pounds again and *sob* I have 205 to be exact! I did notice the gradual tightness of my clothes but was too cocky to think twice oh yeah I will lose weight again…no problem.*snort* uh-huh! This time the poundage is fighting back, this extra fluff seems happy to stay, so I need to take some serious action and get off my lazy ass quite literally! I am so tired all the time! Like seriously so I am making a doctor’s appointment to get all checked out etc. I’ve also started taking a multivitamin Centrum Women’s Ultra? Good bad? Along with krill oil, suppose to help stable out blood sugar (no clear evidence) I’ll let you know! I’m gradually getting back into my Yoga but I think I need something that packs a bit more punch my favorite is kickboxing! I’m also going to wean myself off soda (diet too) and processed foods as much as possible! Any tips, hints, tricks, recipes would be most appreciated! Thanks Buddyslimmers!

Well I’m a slacker and I could give a half million reasons but I won’t, I could’ve made more time for my exercise and food charting but alas I did not….but I have only lost 1lb since Jan. and that bummed me out but I only have myself to blame and the half million Hershey kisses I ate…darn valentines day On the bright side I did lose a pound and was able to maintain so that is a little something Well I’ve started working out again with my yoga which really helps with my stress levels and all around feel better. I’ve decided not to pursue my gym anymore I do much better on my own and I can’t stand the pressure of going half way across the city and then finding out the class is full and the machines are full…ahhh enough of that I may go here and there but I’m not renewing in June. I gotta admit food charting is a really good tool to use because when I have to write everything that goes in my mouth it gives me pause do I really need to eat this anyway it helps also the whole visual of seeing what your eating makes me realize I need to make some big changes again I eat waaaayyy to much junk I’ll have to have my scone once a month..Good luck everyone on your weight loss journey!

I was doing great…until recently and the explosion of yummy chocolate flowed freely about me…*sigh* sadly I’ve gained 4lbs..I’m creeping back up there and it’s making me a bit nervous so I joined a GYM! for me that is a huge..I mean HUGE! I would never in a million years see myself walking on a treadmill or yep, taking a Zumba classs (love it) and Kickboxing class (love it more) I have not been doing my yoga though…I really need to but time is so limited and I’m so tired but enough excuses it’s time to get back on track slowly but surely as Mister Turtle does it anyways that what’s going on with me 50lbs down so far…44 lbs to go!  Happy Holidays everyone!

I’m no longer considered obese just overweight this losing weight stuff is hard work ;o) Just had to share

Confidence something I don’t have much of and my boyfriend called me out on it.  He said Confidence is the most sexiest thing on a woman, have some your gorgeous.  Okay so I tried it on, it didn’t fit quite right,  I looked in the mirror and was Okay, I have pretty eyes, oh man my belly is really gross, wait no um…it’s ….so you can kind of see where that is going I won’t bore you with the details.  I tried to start with the positive and ended up focusing on the negative.  How does one feel confident? So onward with the experiments today I am going to try to be confident even if it means pretending to be and I shall see what happens.  That means I’m even going to post this blog.  Step one down so many more to go!

I’ve given myself a week to log in my food and kinda watch what I eat and I’m a JUNK food junkie…not good. So now I monitor everything I eat and alas actually go by the serving size, I was shocked to say the least, thinking to myself they got to be joking! but I’m doing it and the first couple days I seriously thought I was going to starve but I drank water, okay a lot of water and it helped and now I feel really good and I can’t get as much food in my gut as I used to.   I weigh in tomorrow so I’ll see if I’ve lost any but honestly I know I have, I feel way lighter and my pants fit much better.  Oh yes I am eating way healthier too, more whole grains and low fat etc. Wish me luck I hope I can steer clear of the junk!
