One month

Here is where I'm at today: Down another 1.5lbs

Two months and 5 days since I started my journey = 17.5lbs lost and 18 inches lost.

One month today since Bridal Bootcamp started = 10.5lbs lost and 9 inches lost.

I am exactly half-way through my journey. I have 17.5lbs left to lose and approximately 17 inches.

Not Much

Not much new to report today. I've been keeping on track for the most part. We went away for 5 days and I kept up with my exercise but fell off the diet a little bit. I didn't show any weight loss this week but I'm o.k. with that. I seem to go a week without losing and then I catch up the following week. In a couple of days I will be 25% of the way through bridal bootcamp. I'm satisified with my results so far and hope they continue.

Bridal Bootcamp

I'm just loving this Bridal Bootcamp program! I'm in the middle of my second week right now and I can already feel an improvement in my strength and energy. I lost 3 lbs this week. I only want to lose 2lbs a week because I fear losing lean muscle if I lose anymore than that. I'd love to lose it all in a week if I could, but I just don't want to wind up flabby. I'm really happy with my progress so far and I'm at the point that people are starting to notice. I'm fitting into a few things that I haven't been able to wear since the beginning of my pregnancy. My goal is 130 but I know when I reach another 10lb loss I'm going to be feeling really good.

One more pound

I didn't weigh myself all week so I had no idea what to expect today. I was glad that I lost a pound but was really hoping for atleast a 2 pound loss. I decided to take my measurements just out of curiosity and I lost an inch in my waist so that boosted my spirits just a little. I began Bridal Bootcamp on Tuesday and I'm feeling really good today. I feel like I have a lot of energy and motivation to keep me going!

My weekly update

I'm participating in an online challenge and we recently wrapped up our first month on Tuesday. I was happy to report over 8" and 9lbs lost for my first month. This month my goal is to focus on my arms and my abs. I'm going to incorporate more fruit and veggies into my diet. I'm actually having a good time with this. It's nice to see the pounds and inches melt away. I also for the first time ever seem to have the patience to take it one pound at a time. In the past I always wanted super quick results only to be stuck at the same weight forever. It's much more rewarding to see a pound lost here and there and be thinner by the end of the month. Until next week............

Getting There!

Well, I'm down 9 pounds since I started this diet. I feel really positive about what I'm doing. I have really conquered one goal which is drinking my water. That makes me feel great! I feel that's a very important goal for effective weight loss and a healthy lifestyle. Prior to this month I was drinking several diet soda's a day. I hadn't had one in several days and yesterday I had one with dinner and only drank 1/2. Feels good! The loss of 9 pounds feels great! I'd like to lose at least one more pound by Tuesday so that I'll have an even 10 pound loss for the month of February! Now that I've conquered my water goal I want to begin using the treadmill everyday! I would like to say by the end of March that it's just become part of my daily routine :)

It's Friday Again!

Well, here it is....Down another 2 pounds. It is really going slow! I have to keep it up though! It's still very possible to be at goal in 10 weeks. I need to keep reminding myself that it will come off if I stick my mind to it! The weekend is here and Cory will be home so I really need to stay motivated. We went out for Valentines Day this week and that's what really blew it for me. I'm still satisfied with my weight loss. I'm hoping for a 4 pound loss by next Friday. I really need to step up the exercise.

Friday's Weigh In

Well, I haven't weighed myself yet. I'm nervous to find out what the scale says. I've been doing well with a few minor set backs. #1 being that I have a terrible pain in my tooth so everytime I try to exercise, my head feels as if it will pound off! I've been making great choices when it comes to meal time. More fruit, less meat, less fat, less calories, smaller portions. I know that I can't change my eating habits overnight but I'm really working on it and it feels good. Water, gulp, gulp. I feel as if I'll float away. My water intake has been really good which is very hard for me. I think today will finally be my day to reach a gallon. I was stuck at about 80 oz. a day but I think I can manage to gulp down a gallon today! I'm going to search the net today for a few new recipes. It's just the girls and myself this weekend so I don't want the temptation of junk food so I'll have to make something creative. I'll be back later to update my weight ticker.

Felling Yuck

I'm not feeling too good today. Got up and had some toast and O.J. Hopefully as the day goes on I will start to feel better. Good news is I'm down 4lbs! Yay me! :)

The losing begins!

Originally I had decided to start my diet today (Feb. 2nd), but yesterday at about 11am I changed my mind and decided to start at that moment. Yes, I had already eaten things in the morning that wouldn't be considered diet food, but what did I have to lose by starting at that time rather than eating more of that bad food for the rest of the day? I lost 1/2 a pound because of that decision. I know that's not earth shattering, but it's 1/2 a pound towards my goal.
