So I posted a photo up in the before & after photo section and I was really amazed at the progress I’ve made. I know it’s not much but it’s enough to keep me motivated. If I can make this much progress in just two months, I have a lot to look forward to. I’m really happy.

This pasT week my weight has been fluctuating anywhere from 228 to 224. Today I weighed in at 226 and I believe I have hit my first plateau because I can’t get below 224 but it’s quite alright. TOM is still lingering around and I actually cheated this weekend and had some dinner and drinks with the hubby. More drinks than anything. Colorado Bulldogs to be exact. We had a blast and it had been awhile but now, it’s time to get serious again. I’m not depressed about the scale because my measurements are proof enough that whatever I’m doing is working.

Today:——————Sept 6:
Waist 41 in………………..43 in
Chest 45.25……………….46.5 in
Hips 47 in………………….49 in
Thighs 26.25………………27 in

My hip muscle is back to normal again and I’m back on the treadmill. Mini-Goal of 222 here I come!!!

Today when I got on the scale it read 227. I was a little disappointed but I got over it when I realized TOM was here and my wedding band is fitting very snuggly, not like usual. So I’m bloated which made me feel a lot better. I felt even better when I pulled some pants out of a bag marked “clothes to wear again someday”. I put the clothes in the bag when I got pregnant with my third child last year sometime in September or November. Anyway, I pulled out a pair of my favorite jeans, size 20, and to my surprise they fit absolutely perfect. I had the biggest smile and my eyes teared up and everything. Okay 20, is still a bit big but you know what, I was wearing a 26, so that’s excellent, if I may say so. Anyway, I wanted to share my happiness and wish everyone who is trying to better their lives by losing weight good luck. Thanks for reading and commenting. You have know idea how you keep me going. And all the comments are really appreciated. Thanks again.

I’m two pounds away from my mini goal of 222. Yessss! On a different note, I think I pulled a muscle on my leg the day before yesterday because it really hurts right by my hip. It hurt yesterday and I still walk/jogged and it felt better afterwards but by later on it was really hurting. Then this morning I could hardly move it. I rubbed some vick’s vapor rub on it and went back to sleep with the baby and now that I’m up it feels alot better but I’m gonna try to take it easy at least for today to see how I’m feeling by tomorrow. I know stretching is important and I think that’s why it got pulled. I learned my lesson.

I found this neat little virtual model type thingy. I can’t really see much of a difference. The first one is supposed to be 235 and the second one is 226. It’s fun though.

Here is my weight graph from August 1st until now. I feel so good about this right now. Just wanted to share.

I’m down to 226 today. I’m so glad that everytime I get on the scale, it either stays the same or it moves down. There no motivation better than that. The inches are moving down too. I can’t wait until I can feel the difference. When my clothes starting fitting differenty and when other people can tell. That will be even more motivation for me. I’m so happy.

I’m down to 228. Yay for me!! Next mini-goal is 222. Keeping on going…..

I don’t know what the hell happened but I got on the scale and managed to gain weight, yet again. I’m up to 234 again. I don’t know what the hell I’m doing wrong. I’m eating right and exercising although I don’t think I’m doing as much as I should only because I never have time for myself. What little time I do have I’m with the kids or cleaning. I need to get cracking. I’m not giving up and I’m not whining. This just makes me want to push myself harder and rethink my habits. I’m going to try lowering my carb intake and I’m going to make time for exercise whether I have to do it at midnight. I’m pushing forward and this makes me more motivated to get rid of these pounds more than ever.

Well, today I weighed myself because I decided that I’m no longer going to weigh myself everyday because I’m becoming obsessed. I’m going to weigh in every Sunday. So, I got on the scale today and it read 229. Thank God!! I’m back down and out of the 230’s. My mini-goal is 228 and I expect to definitely be there by next Sunday. I’ve also been researching the internet on the best weigh to lose weight and basically I have to count calories. I don’t mind right now but I’m sure I’ll eventually get sick of it. I won’t give up though. I’m bound and determined to get this done. As much as I want to blog constantly, I’ll try to do it at least once or twice a week. Yay for me, I’m out of the 230’s again.
