Losing it!

I am really proud of myself! It is going really slow with the holidays and everything but I am down 26 lbs and still losing! I haven't taken my measurements in a while but I will do that and update you next week. I still have a lot more that I am trying to lose, and I need to get into a workout schedule so I can tone up.

Losing it!

Weekends are always hard on me. I guess it is because I am at the house more and we eat out a lot on the weekends, and to add to that I didn't work out at all last week. UGH! I felt horrible. I was in a lazy mood and even though I still lost weight on this weigh in I gained inches and I could tell how sluggish I was without my workouts. So far I have LOST 4 pounds!! not a lot but I am super proud of myself!! As far as inches go total I have lost 11 inches total from different areas of my body. I am still a work in progress so off to the elliptical it is :)

So far so good. Last week I just tried to eat smaller portions and get used to working out daily. This week my goal is to keep exercising and actually watch what I am eating. I am writing it all down and counting points, but im not obsessing over it.

Weight: -1.5 pounds

Inches: -4 inches

(We changed the plans a tiny bit and instead of going till December we have 8 weeks, which puts my target date Nov. 8th.)

I am really proud of myself so far, I used to make every excuse in the book to not go on walks or get on the elliptical (which has been gathering dust for almost 2 years now) but now I look forward to my morning workouts.

Losing it

Today at work I will step on a scale and let all my coworkers see what it says. EEKKK!!! Why would I subject myself to that kind of torture? We are starting a weight loss challenge today. We all pay $20 and weigh in weekly. On December 1st whoever has lost the most weight will "win" all the money, which I think totals out to be $160.

I have tried numerous weight loss methods so I am hoping that by blogging about my successful days and my not so successful days it will keep me motivated to stay on track. As of right now I am not brave enough to post my starting weight but I will keep you informed on how many pounds/inches I am loosing.

I haven't picked a specific "diet" that I will start, I am just hoping to start exercising more and eating healthier.

Wish me luck in losing it!
