I know I am behind, this always seems to happen to me. I don't know if I will ever stay on top of things. It kind of upsets me. But let's get to why I am here. At first, I was feeling okay about the weigh-in, and then the day before, I just had a not-so-good feeling. I was spot on. I turned out gaining. I was disappointed, but at the same not disappointed. Because I thought of it like this. If you gain weight, even the smallest amount. You look back and see what you have been eating, and make the changes to make your next weigh-in a success. In all honesty, all weigh-ins are a success in a sense, because you are trying to achieve something. That to me is a success. I was going to put both my weigh-ins together but I decided against it, so they will be back to back. I am sorry that I didn't post this sooner, I really got busy, and Continue Reading
Weigh-in #02 – Getting A Good Start!
Here I am with my 2nd weigh-in. I did good, it was not nearly as much as my first, but I knew it wouldn't always be high numbers. Even this weigh-in I feel will not be a normal number. The last time I was doing this, my usual number was 2 lbs a week, and that is with no exercise, apart from the normal doing around the house, doing laundry, going downstairs to the basement, and whatnot. Unfortunately because of my weight, I cannot get on the treadmill yet. I don't want to break it lol. Pretty much the same thing I did last time, I didn't get a treadmill the first time until I was well below 300 lbs, and right now I am still over 300 lbs, so this is how it goes for now. Now for my weigh-in progress photo. I noticed in my last photos the picture was way too close, so this time I decided to back up with the camera a bit. I lost 5.4 Continue Reading
Happy New Year’s Everyone!
We are into the new year now, and I am trying to stick to my new year's resolutions. Did I mention what they were? My first one is to read the Bible daily, and guess what? I haven't done that, yeah I disappointed myself. I do listen to daily prayer, but it is not the same, so that is going to have to change. Why is it I can stick to a diet, but not read the Bible every day? I have to, I need to do this. Dear Lord, please encourage and inspire me to read your word, I need you in my life. Before I go on. I need to do one thing. I am back. I just wanted to check in with a friend. I feel better now. I was going to talk about my sister but I decided not to. We are estranged sadly. Maybe another day. I pray she and her partner are doing well. Since starting my diet on January 3rd I believe, nope it is January 2nd I am keeping track Continue Reading
Slow as a snail! But I Don’t Give Up!
I am back. For the past 3 months, I have had quite a struggle with my weight loss. I am very happy to say I have not gained back the 100 yay!! But the struggle has been harder than I thought. After the 100 lbs loss, losing more has been a yo-yo thing. I lose, then I gained. I do blame myself though. I was stricter during my first 100 lb loss. By now I should have lost 24 lbs but I have not. I have only managed 10 lbs, which is still something, but as I mentioned, it has been nothing but a yo-yo effect. It has bummed me out, but I thought I will just get as strict as I have when I first started losing weight. Because apparently, I gain weight so damn fast!!! That is not why I have not posted. I just have been super busy, with all the things I have going on in my life. I feel bad because I wanted a good record of my weight loss. I Continue Reading
Weigh-in #22 -Staying on Track!
As you can tell by the title, this last weigh-in was a good one as well. Not as great as last week's 5 lb loss, I still don’t know what I did differently but it was really good to have a huge jump like that. Now let’s talk about this passed weigh-in, I weighed myself, hoping I didn’t gain, but was pretty confident I wouldn’t, below is the image of what my weigh-in was. It is about 2 lbs I lost which is what I like to lose per week, so this weigh-in is another success story, which makes me very happy, considering a couple of bad weigh-ins I had in the past. My honey tells me that I am going to make my goal, which was to lose 100 lbs in a year. I officially started my diet on January 12, 2014, at this point in time, I was not logging into the MyFitnessPal app that helps me keep track of weight, what I eat, and calories. Wish I had it Continue Reading
