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.

    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.

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...
