Down goes the weight

At my weigh in yesterday I was down to 229 I am finally down 25 lbs....
One week on one week off is how my exercising is going.

2down

Diet going well, hungry today, but doing well.  Exercise is stagnating, I really need to get off my butt.

Went well.

My doctor's appointment went better than expected.  I lost 2 lbs., overall with the ups and downs I have lost a total of 15 pounds.

I had Dr. Kelly perscribe the appitite supresant - PHENTERMINE  37.5 MG  to jump start me again.  I take 1/2 a tablet at 10am.

I walked 1.5 miles Tuesday, back and forth from Bailey and the house.   Today I got in 1 mile this morning and I am hopeful to put in a little Wii, later.  Boy, were my calves cramping today, just really tight, I need to work that out.

I started DailyBurn.com and a few challenges on that website to help keep me motivated.  My goal is 30 miles walking by Halloween on top of other exercise.   JUST DO IT!

Doctor's appt tomorrow

I have been taking a diet vacation. I do not know if it is stress, the change of weather or just having so much going on but I have not been very good at my eating regiment. I usually start the day out fine but by luch it is down hill fast. I am not looking forward to my doctor's appointment tomorrow. da da daaaa I just hope I haven't gained weight, I know I haven't lost any. Today I am doing meal replacement and it will continue till after my doctor's apointment at 1pm tomorrow.

I did go out and bought a Wii Fit Plus 2 weeks ago. I really love working on it but I need to be strict on setting a time for myself and the Wii to comunicate, (ie exercise)

In addition to my appointment with Dr. Kelly, I have an emergeny appt with the dentist, I knocked my left bridge out Saturday night and we shall see how that goes tomorrow.

Surprise!

I almost did not go in and get weighed on Wednesday but I have to keep dedicated and take the disappointments with the triumphs.  Well, surprise to me, I lost another 6 pounds....Yea!!!!   I am shocked.  That brings me up to 17 lbs now I believe.  This will encourage me for the next week.

Still fat.

NO change yet.  I have been too blase about my diet I really need to get back in the game 100 percent.   I can, I will, I must.

Still no change

Still no change on the scale but I am retaining a lot of water.  Hopefully that was the problem.  I start walking on Monday.  This first week of school has been challenging.  Getting my old body use to the early wake up call and just getting back onto a set schedule.  I can do this, I must do this, I WILL do this.

Well.....

Week 3 - I had a pretty good appt today with Dr. Kelly....it was update time.  I have lost 10 lbs and 4 inches off my waist.  My BMI is down 4 pts and my Blood Pressure is almost back down to my normal (excellent) range. 

I am so waiting till the kids start school this Monday.  I have promised myself that I will get serious about organized exercise everyday once they are out of the house during the first part of the day.  With my found energy I have been cleaning house but as usual it is work that is never done. 

10 down 90 to go.

Two weeks (offically)!

Two weeks dieting and 11 pounds down!  Yeah! 
I weighed in yesterday and I and unexpectedly lost 4 additional pounds this past week.
I had been having a weakness for pasta and bread the beginning of the week.  I only nibbled off the kids but it was hard not to wolf it down.  I was very surprised when I had actually lost weight. 

This weeks goals are to add more activity, more organized exercise, into my week.  Last week I had been very active with this kids outings, involving walking and pool movement.

No change.

I guess no change is good change for this week.  With camp and camp food I am not surprised.  Goal for next week is 247 lbs.

I can do it!  I can do it!  I can do it!

Back from camp.

My doc was right, forget trying to diet at camp.  So back on track today.  I really wasn't mentally ready to jump back on the wagon but no procrastinating.  I doubt if I lost any weight this week, tomorrow will tell at weigh in, but it has been enlightening and educational.  I have learned how out of control my eating had gotten.  This really needs to be a life style change not just a diet to loose weight.

Well, we will know tomorrow.

Planning

I forgot how much time it takes to plan when you are reworking your eating habits.  It is amazing how much you forget about how food relates to your body.

It begins.

My first appointment with Physiciansway and Dr. Kelly today.  It went well.  My blood work was right on target.  My target weight is good and now I just have to live the dream.  I have a lot of reading and planning to do but Richie got my groceries for day one.......protein protein protein!

Beginning weight.      253 lbs
BMI                         40/44
Cholesterol                158
HDL                           54
LDL                            91

Even my blood sugar was within limits, which was my concern.  Now, I just have to learn how to read my blood test....I am curious what all those things mean. 

Alright, the adventure begins tomorrow!

The Begining.

It is Saturday, I got up very early and went up for a blood test.  I have an appointment with Physician's Way on Monday.  This blog is to document my journey towards my goal in weight loss.

Goals:

1. Loose 100 pounds in 10 months.
2. To enjoy the look of my body, to feel comfortable in my skin again.
3. Have more energy to be more active with my Children.
4. To improve my overall health.
5. Okay to have my photo taken.
6. Buy clothes and bras at a regular shop, not plus size and online.

I found it very very very hard to find a photo of me.  I refuse to be in the photo because I just cannot believe that I have gotten so heavy.  Notice the float statically in front of me, yes it was a conscience decision.  Camera, OH NO!  What can I put in front of me!!!!  This photo was taken on June 23, 2010 at the beach on Vacation.
