Thoughts on my weigh in today plus another random thought.

You know what the best thing about weight loss is: how the damn scale yo-yos back and forth with my weight....NOT!! One week I'm 149.2 and the next 150.2. Yes, I know the reasons why its back up to 150.2 and those reasons are: not really being as careful with my food this week, not getting in all of my workouts and the fact that my period is due to start some time this weekend, hence the not so carefulness of my eating. And yes, it's only a pound...but let me tell ya that pound is hard as shit to get off. I have spent the last 2.5 months working off 10 lbs.  I'm not terribly upset about the "gain" as I know what its from and there's a good chance that it will be gone by the end of the weekend. Yet, it's still so frustrating. 


I am one of "those" people who is a scale watcher and I have come to accept that. But I don't let the number on the scale determine how my day is going to go. I will still go to the gym and do my workout how I had planned it out...I will not try to do more so that number will go down since in the end it will all average itself out. I might pout a minute or two until the reality of it sinks in, but that to me is human nature. In the last year I have had a few times where I have gained weight back and I didn't let it stop me and this measly little 16 ounces isn't going to either. I will be solidly in the the 140's by the end of this month!! And to me that would be around 147-148....only 2-3 lbs and I still have two weeks left. Yep...I'm gonna make that goal!!


Plus I'm trying to keep in mind that I'm building more and more muscle every week as I continue to lift weights and that when I go back for my BOD POD test at the beginning of December that I will have the results of not only less body weight but less body fat too.


Onto another topic...


This morning as I was relaxing before the kids had to get up for school I had a random thought pop in my head. Last year at Christmas time my mom took a group shot of all of us since we haven't been together in so many years. At this time I was right about 200 lbs. This year when we have the picture taken I am hoping to be 135 lbs...that's only about 15 lbs from where I am now and I have little over 3 months to get there. I really can't wait to see the difference. That will be a 65 lb difference in photos...with an over all weight lost of about 107 lbs. 


Here's a picture of what I looked like last Christmas....can't wait to show an updated picture in a few months. 


I'm the one in the yellow (yuck!)

Back on track???

I'm hopefully back on track...today was a great day. I didn't go crazy with eating so much I felt like crap...not that I ate the best considering I had a bag of peanut m&m's. Those plus Reece's peanut butter cups are my weakness. Thank god the last bag is gone and I'm not going to buy any more any time soon. Plus I got in all 5 miles that I had planned today. They weren't my fastest miles but I was only working on distance today. And for once I never thought of stopping before the 5 miles were done. Though about a half mile left I slowed down to walk a few seconds and my legs felt a bit numb, its been a long while since I have ran that long. But I think after this coming Wednesday I won't be running in the afternoons anymore. The warm weather was taking its toll on me. For me a perfect running day is when its a bit cloudy and about 55-60 degrees out. I'm also thinking about just doing the circuit training class on Tuesday and Thursday without any ext...

That Ugly Fat Girl?

So I was taking a look at my past blogs the other day and I came across the blog I wrote back in April that showed my weight loss journey in pictures. And all I can say is OMG! That starting picture is so freaking horrendous. I can't believe that I actually thought I looked pretty weighing that much. I can't believe that my husband actually found me attractive then. And I can honestly say that I was not one of the pretty fat girls...I was just plain fat and ugly. Its funny what lies one's self will tell them to help them feel good about themselves. I look at myself then and then I look at myself now and can't even comprehend that they are the same person. I feel like I'm a completely different person now. I AM a completely different person now.  But every once in a while I still look at myself I still see a fat, overweight, ugly person. Like today, I know I had just rocked it on the treadmill doing sprint intervals (definitely going to add that to my workout plan ...

Plateau Anyone???

Yep its the evil word: Plateau!!! I feel like I have been playing with the same 5-7 lbs over the last 2 months. I knew that getting closer to my final goal that it was going to be harder and harder to drop the weight. But I'm getting quite frustrated at seeing the same weight over and over every week. Yes, I'm happy that I have gotten this far along but I don't believe that this is where I am going to be the happiest. I want to be  in the 120's. I don't think its an unreachable goal considering I'm only 5'1.5" tall. I've already settled on knowing that I won't ever have a completely flat stomach, some to do with being overweight for so long and some to do with having two c-sections, without having to have surgery. I've already accepted that I'm going to have each skin on my arm and thighs, but I do believe that I deserve to be at a happy weight and to me that in the mid 120's.  I am going for my bod pod test today at 3 and I beli...
