Week 5

well, another .2 loss this week. Official weigh in was 186.6. although I'm pretty sure I've gained that all back since Tuesdays weigh in. I seriously have been "loosing" the same 2 lbs for a few weeks now. I have not been trying. I think that I wanted to just enjoy the loss I've all ready had. Its just so nice to wear clothes that fit again. I've gone down a pant size (no more 16s!!!!!) and my 14s that I just bought are so comfy. I need to get my motivation back on. I still really want to loose more weight, but its so easy to get complacent. Especially with all the nice compliments I've been getting from my hubby and friends. I've been going to Zumba more consistently but I've been eating poorly, which I've noticed for me is what really makes the difference in weight loss. When I was in the Army I was working out all the time, but I was still "fat" because I had poor eating habits. I'm still working on those. I just like to eat. What I'm trying to learn is how to eat the right foods and to stop when I'm no longer hungry. I have an amazing ability to stuff my face when I'm all ready full. prayers are needed and welcomed.

week 4

well, I expected this to happen. I weighed in at 186.8. yep. lost .2 lbs. Actually, I was surprised there was any loss at all because I knew I had not eaten as well as I could have and I definitely exercised more. I am trying not to gain weight back right now. My husband makes fabulous food. Its generally healthy food, but I have a hard time not eating more than I should so I am trying to remind myself that I don't have to stuff my face just because it tastes good. If I loose another pound I will have lost 10 lbs since the start of this challenge, and that will be something to celebrate. So come on motivation, lets kick some booty!! :)

week 3

I am so unbelievably happy right now. My husband got home last night. and to top it off, this morning I weighed in at 187. That means I have lost 20 lbs since my husband left for Afghanistan. oh, and I am so kicking ass in this weight loss challenge!

week 2 weigh in

This past week has been interesting... spent most of it sick. And although it did help this weeks weigh in, 190.4, I do not recommend getting sick for weight loss purposes. It is not fun throwing up peas through your nose. Just saying. Between myself getting sick and both of my children getting sick we did not do much last week at all. Now that we are all feeling better I'm hopeful that I will not gain any of the weight back and continue on in this weight loss challenge kicking butt. :) Right now I'm battling an insane urge to go eat lots of chocolate. As a stress eater it is definitely tempting to go that route... but I am so far not giving into my cravings for sweet chocolate goodness.... My husband should be back soon and hopefully he will have some encouraging things to say to me about my weight loss. I was 207 when he left for deployment. I'm kinda hoping to loose a little more before he gets here. It would be nice to have a nice round 20lbs of weight loss for my husband to see when he gets here... but I'm not sure if I'll get there or not because I have no idea when he'll actually get here. Gotta love the army!
