Baseball season

OK... so, I've decided to make a change.  (Again) I am going to start hCG drops on Sunday April 2nd.  I know I said  wasnt going to use any form of diet help on this journey, but I changed my mind.  Baseball season starts today and lasts thru April and May. Because my boys are going to be on two different teams I cannot go to the gym Monday thru Friday because I have to get home in time to take one to practice while Dustan takes the other.  My weight mysteriously crept up 2lbs so now I am at 242.  I am going to work dilligently at losing those two pounds and start my HCG diet at 240 (Even less then that would be awesome.)
Chow. :-)

Down another pound!

Almost out of the 240's! This morning I was 240.1! That is all.
:-D

update

So, I love the body bugg.  It reports sleep efficiency among all the other cool things it does.  I have been sick for the last few days and it makes total sene that for the week before that I had no energy to get to the gym.  I would pass out the minute my head hit the pillow and wonder why I was so tired.  While I am officially not 100% yet I am attempting to go to work today.  I've missed the last two days. 
And update on my weight loss... I am -1 more pound for a total of 31lbs.  Im sure next week when I am feeling better and I get to the gym the weight will start falling off again. :-) Have a good day everyone.

The addition of... THE BODY BUGG!

That's right! I am the proud new owner of a Body Bugg.. well its not the body bugg brand but it works the exact same.  Its from body media.  It is a small device that straps to the back of your upper left arm and it calculates the calories that you've bearned throughout the day.  You go online at the end of your day and type your food consumed during the day and it tells you what your calorie deficit is.  I am very excited about this.  It is plugged in to the computer right now, charging.. and I cant wait to put it on and do some stuff to watch the calories burn on the webpage! I'll let ya all know how it works out! Chow!

YAY!!!

Ok, I dont have much time to blog right now, but I am so excited I just had to share it with you all.  As you all know, I have been on a stupid plateau for about 2 weeks.  I played with the same number for 2 weeks. Well, yesterday I woke up and had lost a pound.  Today I woke up and had lost 3 more making my total weight loss -30lbs!! I still have between 67 and 92 more pounds to lose, but I am definetly on a roll.  Thanks all for your prayers and support. :-)

FINALLY! I've been bouncing back and forth for about 2 weeks with the same number on the scale! Finally this morning I saw a new lower number.  245.8 (I never count the .whatever.) total of -27lbs, and I hope to see that number drop easier than I got it. :-)

Just Keep Swimming, Just Keep Swimming....

In the last 10 days, with the scale not moving, I have considered doing different things.  I've considered changing to WW, or Atkins.. I've considered doing HCG again, I've considered changing times I workout and even adding supplements.  And then, I decided on something.  No. No I am not changing my diet.  No, I am not changing my exercise.I may change the intensity of the workout and give my self some variance, but  I am sticking with this till the end.  I am just gonna have to push.  Push thru this flat land.  (AKA FAT LAND)  I am going to focus on how my body feels and I am going to focus on my endurance.  I read a Jillian Michaels quote this morning that said "If you dont puke, faint or die, KEEP GOING!"
I'm gonna keep going. 

stuck.

I keep bouncing up and down between 246 and 249.  Its been this way all week.  I will weigh in tomorrow and if things dont change I am going to take the advice of a friend.  She said to have a cheat day where you cheat on all the foods you love (in moderation.. it wont be like the hcg where you gorge yourself for 2 days.)  It will no doubt raise the number on the scale but then when I work hard at getting back down I will go below where I was before. 

I am too impatient for this crap.

Well that's annoying!

Ok. Lets play the "I hate it when.." game. I'll go first. I hate it when I work my butt off at the gym and chose the completely right foods and cannot see one single thing that needs to be changed about my diet and Im still fighting with the same flippin' pound! at times like these its hard to dig in and keep going. Its discouraging.  However, I have found a thought that will keep me going this week.  I work with people who are developmentally disabled.  They live in group homes and as much as we dont like to admit it, most of their big choices are made for them.  Most of them do not have an opportunity to live out their dreams.  I do not have the RIGHT to quit.  I do not have the right to not live out my dreams.  "My destiny is just waiting for me to show up." (Jillian Michaels)  I will keep going.

Hello March 1st!

In all of my years of weight loss attempts, I usually quit about mid February. This is the first time in over ten years that I've gone this long! Hello March 1st! I will celebrate you with all of my heart because it means I have made it 2 entire months and still havent quit.  So far I'm down -26lbs in 2 months... If that streaks continue I will hit my ultimate goal weight of 150lbs by September 2011. 9 months start to finish. I am committed.
