Weigh in Day 2/15/13 -1.6 lbs, 47.6 lbs down 42.4 lbs to go

Yay me!!!!  I feel like I am truly back on rack with my weight loss journey and personally I feel like 2 weeks of weight loss in a row is pretty awesome.  Plus the amount lost isn’t too shabby, especially since I got my monthly pain-in-the-butt-proof-you-are-a-woman-in-the-most-annoying-way-possible on Tuesday.  I usually put on a few poundsContinue reading “Weigh in Day 2/15/13 -1.6 lbs, 47.6 lbs down 42.4 lbs to go”

Weigh in Day 1/11/13 -1.4 Lbs, 45.4 lbs down 44.6 Lbs to go.

I was pretty thrilled with my weigh in today, it was a tough week getting back on track and I blame popcorn.   Yes, Popcorn.  Not my inability to control my urges or the fact that I fell off the wagon, so to speak, a few weeks ago, but popcorn.  It was in my dreamsContinue reading “Weigh in Day 1/11/13 -1.4 Lbs, 45.4 lbs down 44.6 Lbs to go.”

Weigh in Day 12/7/12 +.6 lbs 45.4lbs down 44.6lbs to go

Aaaarrrrggggg, I don’t even know what I did wrong this week and yet I gained weight.  I stayed within my calories each day and got in great workouts all week-long.

Weigh in day 11/30/12 +.8 = 46 LBS down 44LBS to go……

I was way too thankful last weekend, I mean WAY TOO!  I think the hardest reality was that I did so well until Thursday and then it was a nonstop eating marathon, like the flood gates had opened on all crappy for me food in ridiculous amounts.  All week I stressed about weighing in knowingContinue reading “Weigh in day 11/30/12 +.8 = 46 LBS down 44LBS to go……”
