Day ummm....26?

Good news everybody!  It hasn't even been a full month and I'm down 15 pounds!  4 pounds since my last weigh in day and  I'm hoping to lose another 1.5 pounds by Saturday (Weigh in Day).    I'm excited to get down to the 230's.  OInce I do that I'll be on my 4th decade.  Started in the 260's, then down to the 250's, now the 240's.  Next isthe 230's???  Wholly crapola batman!

It's ridiculous to think that I could possibly be getting impatient because progress is obvious, but i must confess I am a little impatient.  Just to see the final results.  I just want to see it all now!

I'm finally starting to notice in my clothes.  I'm noticing a bit in the mirror.  It feels good, I feel good about this.  I wish I would have done this a long time ago....but no regrets, I'll appreciate it that much more this time and hopefully I can stay at my new weight once I get there.  I have to, and I need to.  I can't wait until I write my next blog from the 230's.  I'll turn the clock back to 2005 when I do that!  Here's to '05!!

Day 23: -10.5 lbs

I haven't written in a while, which I will say is a good thing.  I was writing every day at first because it helped me stay motivated.  Working out has become a routine for me.  A routine that I feel bad about if I break it.  For instance, yesterday I was deathly ill and thought I could keel over at any moment, I didn't for those of you that care, and I still felt bad about not working out.  Today I recovered and didn't go again, which I didn't feel as bad about because I still felt a bit like a train wreck.  But before that I was working out 6 days a week.  Yesterday was weigh in day and I hit the 10.5 pound mark which means I'm averaging about 3.5 pounds a week!  By this Saturday I should hit the 240's which will be a milestone I haven't seen in 4 years.  I can't tell you how good that feels.  I'm excited that I am actually doing this. 

On another note I also got a personal trainer once a week.  I don't think it's really necessary but it will help keep me motivated, and though I got a good price you can't put dollar signs on health. 

I haven't noticed a huge difference in my wieght loss, even though every time I look in the mirror I think I do, I'm pretty sure it's just mental.  But soon enough I will be at -15 pounds, then -20 and on and on.  Then i'll notice for sure.  And this time I will enjoy it. In high school I lost a bunch of weight from middle school but I was so mentally messed up in the head from being the fat kid for the 5 years previous I thought I was fat when I practically had a six pack.  So like I said, this time I will enjoy the skinny life

 The good news is I am already at 20% of my goal of 50 pounds.  At this rate in 3 months I will be at my goal weight and then I can set a new goal.  What do you think? Can I make it in 3 months?

As I said yesterday I was part of the walking dead and was super sick.  I won't get into the details.  But technically even though  I'm not counting it, I lost 4 pounds.  Not the easy way and not the fun way.  But I figure I might as well ride the wave!!!!  Do you think I can keep it up?

Food Bloggers Diet: Day 16 - Weigh In Day

Good news, I am now 8 pounds down.  2 more from last week.  I am actually really grateful just for that alone.  I know it doesn't seem like much but, i'm not sure if I told you but I cheated really bad last Saturday and gained 4 pounds back in 1 day!  So, I've been working that off all week.  I've been pretty frustrated feeling like a plateaued after only 1 week.  I've been getting up in the morning, not getting the sleep I get, which makes me cranky.  I've been depriving myself of the food I like and want, which makes me cranky.  My only saving grace is that I lost a couple of pounds this week and I'm back where I was last week.  So next week I can make a huge impact if I have a good week and get down to the 240's....Good Luck me.

Food Bloggers Diet: Day 13

Well its been a few days.  This is an honest blog so i'll tell the truth.  I went out saturday night and ate and drank alot and jumped back up 4 pounds.  I've been trying to make it up since then.  Good news is that I've only missed one gym day since.  Weigh in Day is Saturday, and i'm confident by then, i'll be down an additional 2 pounds. That means 253 from 261.  I'm eager to get to the next decade, the 240's, but I have to work to get there, its not  going to come off by itself.

More news, I signed up with a personal trainer for once a week, additional motivation.  One thing I hate is wasting money so by golly i'm gonna get my money's worth and make sure i lose some damn weight.  So, he outlined a diet for me and a general work out plan.  Let's see how it goes.
