Life as it is today....

It's been a while since I have written a blog, even though I have been wanting to write one for a while now. But I think last night really set me off. My dad called me last night and we talked about normal family things and then right before we got off the phone he was asking me about my weight loss. He pissed me off by have the gall to get onto me about not getting to the gym as much as I should lately. Telling me how easy it is to gain the weight back. I hate when talks to me like I am a child, I'm 33 years old and have been at this weight loss journey for close to a year and half. Even with the slight gain of about 5 lbs or so I'm still down over 90 lbs over all. All my smallest size clothing still fits without any issues. 


Yes, I know that I have somewhat slacked at getting to the gym the last three weeks or so and I let my food choices not be what they should be and I will take all the responsibility of that. But I haven't given up totally. My life has changed a lot this past month. Our car situation changed so that we are back to sharing one car, so its been a bit of a challenge to nail down a schedule that works for both my husband and I, and I think that we have found one that will work. I'm trying to finish up my schooling by the end of the year so that I can hopefully have a job by the first of the year to help out more with our family and I'm also volunteering more in my husband's squadron, taking over a position that I'm happy that the spouse's have that much faith in me. So I'm a lot more busier than I was a few months ago.I'm also struggling with some sort of cough/congestion, but not letting it stop me totally. These aren't excuses, they are just the way things are and now that I have all of this going on I need to figure a schedule so that I don't let the gym fall to the wayside. I also need to get back to really paying attention to what I'm eating and how much I'm eating. I have had so much success for so long that maybe instead of a plateau my body and mind decided to rebel at the gym. I have said many times that the body is a strange creature. And I still hold onto to that, lol.


I guess my point is that: Yes, I do let people know what is going on with my weight loss and I do look for support when I'm not feeling like its going as well as I want but don't insult me and treat me like I'm stupid. Either support me or keep your mouth shut, making me feel like crap isn't going to help! And as far as my dad goes I'll just lie and say everything is good since I don't want to fight with him.

  1. Oh this would have pissed me off too. Girl you have done awesome and parents seem to always see where we have been instead of where we are going.

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

2014 Update

It's been a while since I wrote a blog...almost a year in fact... I have struggled so much with my weight over the last couple of years. I went from about 145 lbs up to 200 lbs. I'm back down in the 190's but so upset since I was so happy when I was in the 140s. I need to tighten my belt, for lack of better words, and get back to watching my diet and really and truly get back to counting calories since I know that works for me.  What really is heart breaking for me is going up in size in clothing. I went from wearing a size 8 to a 14, now back down to 12. I hate buying new clothes when I ones I love just sitting in my closet now being worn. The good thing this all is that I truly never gave up working out. I might have not been doing it at the intensity that I was in the past but that has change about 5 months ago. Five months ago I found CrossFit and fell in love. I have found through this program that it is very humbling and empowering. I have done more things that
