Day 105... Not even going to talk about what I've eaten today!

Nope not going there!

I had tap class tonight so I got a workout in today... not as good as if I went to the gym but at least it was something. I really need to get back to the gym and soon.

So I was offered the job and took it. I have a split shift of subbing tomorrow then I officially start next week. I'm really looking forward to this new chapter in my life. It should be a challenging and exciting endeavor.

Tomorrow is weigh-in day. I'm excited to see where I'm at.

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 104... I'm actually scared...

to go back to the gym and I don't know why... I just can't make myself go. There is no reason to feel this way... nothing has happened at the gym to make me feel this way. I'm hoping that this feeling goes away soon I really need to get back to working out. Tonight I will get a small workout in while practicing my tap dance and tomorrow I have tap class so I'll get some exercise in... even if it is just a small amount.

Once again I haven't been very hungry today... I've had lowfat cottage cheese and 2 1/2 bottles of water. I need to up my water intake if I don't want to have a migraine again like Sunday night. Just incase you ever think that drinking a gallon of water in an hour and a half is a good idea... don't do it... it will end badly... very badly.

I guess I should have listened to my friend Sarah about not stopping going to the gym. It was a stupid idea and now I'm having a hard time going back. This is going to be one of the hardest hurdles for me to get over so far on this journey... I just hope I can get over it without tripping!

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 103... Guess I wasn't ready...

to go back to the gym... I couldn't drag myself out of bed to go. Tomorrow is a new day though. My plan for this week is to just do cardio and then start with the strength training again next week... this will ease me back into working out.

Haven't been very hungry today... I've just had some lowfat cottage cheese and 3 bottles of water. No idea what I'm going to have for dinner... I never seem to know what I want for dinner.

So these last few days I've been overly emotional and I don't really know why... crying while watching a tv show, over antsy, mood up and down, not wanting to get out of bed. The only thing I can think of that might be causing it is the nerves over not knowing if I've gotten the job. Also, my doctor told me that working out helps with anxiety so I have a feeling that not working out this last week has something to do with it... that should be a good motivator to get back to the gym.

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 102... Date day with Ben

Today Ben and I went on a date and it was fantastic! We went to Pollo Ray for lunch... I had the Roasted Chicken Salad minus dressing and cheese. Then we went to see This Means War... excellent movie. We also played some air hockey at Gameworld... that was a lot of fun! At the movie I endulged in Butterfinger pieces and pink lemonade.

Today was my rest day but I'm really looking forward to hitting the gym hard tomorrow. Tomorrow is total body and cardio... should be about 2 hours at the gym.

Haven't been good with my water intake today... I've only had 2 bottles of water today. It's going to be hard to get in the other 4 but I'm determined to get it done.

So I heard back from the job today... they are still trying out other applicants but they do want me to sub 2 more times this week possibly more. I'm really hoping that I get this job.

I weighed myself today for my weekly weigh in... I'm down... actually even though I haven't worked out this week I have still lost weight... this really surprised me especially with all that I've been eating.

I've finally decided what I'm going to do for when I reach 180. I'm going to go visit GiGi at Illuminate Salon and get my hair cut and add some highlights. :)

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 101... Day 6 of not working out

So today is day 6 of not working out and I almost gave in and went to the gym to keep my mind off of not hearing anything about the job. I decided to continue with my break and wait until Monday to return to the gym.

We went to Red Robin today for lunch... I had the Brucheta Chicken Sandwich. It wasn't as good as I remember it being... think I will stick to the Grilled Chicken Salad next time. I've also had 4 bottles of water today... 2 more to go. I've decided that I don't like Powerade Zero... it tastes too salty... I think I will just keep to water from now on.

So my goals this week were thrown off when I decided to take a week off of the gym but I have been able to get in a gallon of water each day. Next week's goals are the same... workout every day except Sunday and drink a gallon of water each day. I've missed the gym this week and am looking forward to getting back into the swing of things.

I still haven't heard about the job. I just hope I hear from her soon the waiting is killing me. It is taking a lot for me to not contact her... patience is one virtue I don't come by easily. I've decided though that if I don't hear from her by Monday afternoon I will contact her. I just have to work on not sounding desperate. :)

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 100... 100 days woohoo!!!!

I actually made it to 100 days! I can't believe it. It doesn't feel like it has been that long... only 265 days left! Hopefully they will go just as fast! I have a little under 50 lbs left to lose and I see myself being able to accomplish that.

So I felt like having ramen noodles for lunch today... they weren't as good as I remember. I won't be craving them anytime soon.  I have no idea what I'll have for dinner... I'm not very hungry. I've also had 3 bottles of water... 3 more to go.

I'm still waiting to hear if I got the job or not... needless to say I'm not very good at waiting. It is going to be a long weekend... luckily I will be busy for most of it. I just hope she doesn't wait until Sunday night to let me know... actually I just hope that she lets me know this weekend like she said she would. :)

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 99... Day 4 of no working out

I've decided that I will go back to working out either Monday or Tuesday. I couldn't stay away for long!

I haven't been very hungry today I've just had a bag of popcorn and 3 bottles of water. Last night we went to IHOP for dinner and I ate too much and made myself sick. Not the best way to spend an evening. No more IHOP for me at least for a while.

Things are starting to fall into place for me emotionally right now I just hope that I get this job! The waiting is starting to get to me and it's only been one day!!! I so hope she contacts me this weekend!

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 98... Day 3 of no working out...

and it is getting harder to not workout. I do have tap class tonight so that will be a little bit of a workout.

I had a snickers bar today. Other then that I've had a granola bar and a piece of chicken... oh and 4 bottles of water. I really need to get back to eating healthy. I have been very lax with what I've been eating and now that I'm not working out I definitely need to watch what I eat.

Today was my last day of subbing at the school and I'm hoping that it won't be the last time I see those kids. I will hopefully find out this weekend if I get the job or not. I really hope they give me a chance to learn the ropes. I'm really ready to go back to work.

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 97... El Gallo Giro

Went to lunch with my father-in-law today... we went for Mexican food. I had a taco salad and a bunch of chips and dip. Not very healthy but with how little I normally eat I can afford to have a high caloric meal every once in a while. I've had 3 bottles of water so far today... 3 more to go.

Today is day 2 of not working out and I must say I'm starting to miss it. As of right now I might only make 1 week with no workouts!

So today was my first day of working in 3 months. I must say it was tiring being on my feet for 4 hours straight. I think I'm going to like it... it will take some time to get use to it. I just hope they think I did a good job and want to hire me.

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 96... Taking a little break.

So I have decided to take a week or 2 off from working out except for Wednesday tap class. I just need a break and I think that taking some time off and then restarting again will jump start my weight loss again. I haven't decided if I will be taking just a week or 2 weeks off but I will let you know when I decide. I am also doing this to see if I can maintain my weight with not working out so consistently. I hope when I get back to working out I will have a new excitement for working out... right now I'm getting bored.

I haven't been hungry today so I haven't had a thing to eat yet today. I really need start eating more often. I have only had 2 bottles of water so far today... better get to drinking.

I start subbing at a local Montessori school tomorrow and I'm really nervous. I just hope that it goes well... if it does this could become a new job for me. I wouldn't be subbing if I get the job I would be a toddler assistant. I would work mostly the mornings so I can still workout after work. I'm not going to let this get in the way of my goal... it is just going to make it a little tougher... I will have to be more focused.

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 95... Not much to report today

Not much going on today. No workout today and a birthday party with cake.

Back to the grind tomorrow... total body and eating healthy!

On a different note I start subbing at a possible new job on Tuesday to see if it is a good fit. I hope I like it. :)

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 94... Not so good day

So Ava had a bad night last night and both Ben and I missed our workouts today. :( I'll be back at it Monday though with total body!!!!

So last night I ended up going to Ihop for dinner... bad decision but at least it tasted really good! :) Today I have had a Power Bar and 3 bottles of water. For dinner we are going to a friends house and they are making pork burritos somewhat healthy just have to stick with just one burrito and not over do it.

So I once again haven't done good on all of my goals this week. I missed my workout today but at least I've been able to reach a gallon each day. This weeks goals are the same as last week... workout everyday except tomorrow and get a gallon in everyday.

During this journey I haven't been working so it has been easy to get to the gym and get my gallon of water in daily... now I'm starting to look for a part time job and I just hope that I will be able to continue with the success that I have been having while working. It will be harder but if I stay focused I should be able to make it happen or at least I hope I can.

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 93... I'm actually kind of sore today!

I'm so happy that I'm actually kind of sore today... it's about time. My legs are still sore from yesterday's workout. I'm glad I pushed myself yesterday! Now if I could just get to the point where my whole body is sore!! :)

Today at the gym was upper body and I pushed myself again. I added weight to each exercise except planks and pushups. Bicep curls and chest press were especially difficult but I pushed through and completed all 4 sets of 12. I also did 10 minutes on the elliptical and 50 minutes on the treadmill. Tomorrow I was planning on going for a walk with Ava but it is supposed to rain so it looks like I'll just have to go to the gym and do my cardio... which I loathe doing. I wish cardio was more enjoyable.

So all that I've had to eat today is... well nothing... I keep forgetting to eat. I have had 3 bottles of water and some Powerade Zero... trying something different and it was actually pretty good. I don't think I will have a lot of the Powerade just because it is expensive and I don't want to get hooked on something new but for today it was a nice change. I better get started on drinking more water if I want to reach my gallon for the day.

I think I'll go have some low-fat cottage cheese, snuggle up with Ava and watch some Spongebob. :)

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 92... That wasn't very smart but at least it helped a little bit.

So last night wasn't the best night for me... I had a very frustrating night at tap... I feel like I will never get the dance... so what did I do to take out some of that frustration? I ate a pint of Ben and Jerry's Phish Food ice cream... and yes it made me feel sick but it did kind of help my frustration... I still can't get the dance though.

To counteract the pint of ice cream I really pushed myself at the gym today. I did 30 minutes on the stair stepper instead of the normal 20. I also upped the weight on all of my exercises and threw some squats into the mix. I then finished with 30 minutes on the treadmill. Tomorrow is upper body and I plan on pushing myself again... plus I might take Ava for a walk tomorrow to get some fresh air.

Once again my appetite is shot and I have been terrible about eating. All I've had today is an apple and 4 bottles of water. For dinner I'm thinking brown rice with peas and corn... it just sounds really good right now. This weekend it will be impossible to eat healthy... game night with pizza and friends and then a birthday party with cake and what is bound to be delicious food! I will just have to concentrate on not over doing it.

I will not let this pint of ice cream throw me off my game... I will push through this.

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 91... Weigh-in day

Today was weigh-in day and I just barely made it to my goal... but I made it. I weigh...

185.0

My new goal is 180 by March 15th. That gives me a month to lose 5 lbs. I think this is reasonable. I just need to cut out all the sugar and carbs I have been eating. That is going to be the tough part.

So I was unable to convince myself to get out of bed at 6 this morning and since I had Ava today I had to skip the gym. I did however get in a workout... Ava and I went for an hour and 5 minute walk around the neighborhood. I also have tap class tonight so that will be extra cardio. Since I didn't do my leg workout today I am moving it to tomorrow. 

Today at family lunch we went to Panda Express... I had some very bland fried rice (only about 1/4 cup) and some string bean chicken... at least the chicken had flavor. I also had an apple today and 5 bottles of water. No clue what I will have for dinner probably some cottage cheese. My appetite is still shot. I was going to try to eat every 2 hours today but after the big lunch I had I forgot to eat. :(  

I'm starting to wonder if 135 is too skinny for me. Since I have had many people tell me that I don't look like I weigh what I do and that loosing 50 more pounds seems like a lot and that they can't see me at 135 I'm starting to reconsider my goal weight. I just don't know... I guess once I get closer I will just know... for all I know I could be more muscular then fat and it is impossible for me to get to 135 and still be healthy. Maybe I need to stop focusing on the number and go with how I feel and look. I need to stop weighing myself everyday... I just get frustrated when my weigh fluctuates. I need to get back into the habit of only weighing myself on Sundays.

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 90... Pedicure

Today I got my pedicure as my reward for reaching 190... it felt so good that I might have to set up another one once I reach 170. Nici who did my pedicure couldn't believe that I weigh what I do... she said that I really don't look like I weigh that much. That is the 3rd person that has told me that.

I still haven't decided what my reward will be once I reach 180... I'm thinking maybe new workout clothes or maybe some type of food that I've been craving... nachos or taco salad!

Today at the gym I grudgingly did my cardio... I really didn't want to. I did 10 minutes on the elliptical 6 minutes on level 18 and 4 minutes on level 19. I then did 4 sets of 12 of pushups and 4 sets of planks for as long as I could. I ended with 50 minutes on the treadmill level 4 speed 3.8. Tomorrow is leg day... I will have to get up really early to workout tomorrow since I will have Ava all day. Not looking forward to getting up at 6 in the morning to workout but I gotta do what I gotta do. I do however have a plan if I just can't force myself out of bed... I will go for an hour long walk with Ava and move leg day to Thursday. Plus I will have tap class tomorrow night.

Haven't been hungry today... so far all I had to eat is an apple and 4 bottles of water. I really need to get back in the habit of eating every 2 hours. I have 2 more bottles of water left to reach a gallon... should be easy to fit it in.

Today I had to run out to Nampa to drop something off to my brother... he told me I looked really good but the most touching thing he said was that he was proud of me. That meant a lot to me. He also asked me when the last time I was under 200 lbs... I really realized today for the first time that it has been over 5 years. I haven't weighed under 200 lbs since before my wedding. I never want to go back to that and I never will!

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 89... Self conscious

Ben took today off to spend the day with me. We went to one of our favorite resturants... Ono Hawaiian Cafe. It wasn't the healthies place to eat but it was delicious! I didn't over do it while enjoying the buffet just had a little bit of almost everything. I had some fruit, coconut infused rice, sweet and sour chicken, kahula pork and macaroni salad. I stuck with water as usual... I still have 3 bottles left to drink to reach a gallon... it's going to be tough to squeeze it in but I think I should be able to. All of this was followed up by The Muppets... cute movie... I didn't even need popcorn to enjoy it!

Today was total body at the gym. I pushed myself to lift heavier then I normally do. It felt really good. I just wish that I could get to the point where I become sore again after my workouts... I miss that feeling. I also did 10 minutes on the elliptical and 50 minutes on the treadmill. This evening I spent an hour playing at the park with Ava and Ben. It was a very cold trip to the park but at least I was burning calories! Tomorrow is cardio and some planks and pushups.

I wore my size 12 jeans and size large shirt today. I must say that even though Ben told me that I looked good and Crystal said I looked good I was still very self conscious of my midsection. Until I get a flatter stomach I'm going to be self conscious... just have to keep up the cardio and lay off the carbs... for now I might just have to invest in some camis that suck everything in. Crystal told me about some really good ones that Target carries I might just have to buy one or 2.

So I don't think that I will make my goal of 185 by Wednesday... my weight keeps fluctuating. Somedays I'm below 185 then the next day I'm above. I just hope that I will be able to say that I at least lost some weight even if it just a pound.  I know that I'm losing inches since now I can fit into the size 12 jeans so I'm guessing I'm just putting on muscle... which is a good thing. Maybe all this strength training is doing something afterall.

Tomorrow is my pedicure! I'm so excited if you can't tell!

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 88... Shopping!!!!

I had a blast shopping with Crystal today!!!! She pushed me to try on smaller clothes and guess what... I can wear size 12 jeans and size large tops!!! Thank you Crystal!! I'm looking forward to getting together again with you!

Today was my rest day so unless you count 3 hours of shopping as a workout no workout for me today. Tomorrow is total body! I have to get up earlier to workout tomorrow... Ben is taking tomorrow of for his birthday so we have a fun day planned just him and me. We are going to one of our favorite resturants Ono for lunch then to see The Muppets! Should be a nice fun day.

Since I spent most of the day shopping I haven't been very hungry and have been too busy to drink a lot. I still have 3 bottles left to reach a gallon. Not sure what is for dinner though we are going over to Ben's mom's house tonight.

So Tuesday I get my pedicure!!! :) I can't wait... I plan on doing a black base with purple and teal polka dots!!!

Today has been a good day! Tomorrow will be one too!

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 87... Ben's birthday

So today was Ben's birthday so all bets were off! Hamburger and cake! Wonderful!

Went for an hour long walk for my workout today it was fantastic.

My goals weren't all met this week missed the gym on Thursday but reached a gallon everyday though. All goals are the same this week.

Tomorrow is shopping with Crystal! Should be lots of fun.

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 86... Much better day today

Today was much better then yesterday... I made it to the gym and spent 2 hours there! Today was upper body. I pushed myself to add more weight to all of my exercises! I also added pushups into the mix... still have to do them on my knees but oh well. Someday I hope to be able to do pushups the normal way. I also did 10 minutes on the elliptical and 50 minutes on the treadmill with 3 minutes of jogging. Tomorrow is cardio but I will probably throw some planks and pushups into the mix.

Haven't been very hungry today... especially after I got sick this morning and ended up throwing up... that was not fun at all! Tomorrow is going to be a rough day diet wise... it is Ben's Birthday and we are having hamburgers and cake! Oh well just can't over do it. I still have 2 water bottles left to reach a gallon but that should be easy to drink.

Two times now I've seen a guy talking on his phone his whole workout even while using the weight machines! It was very distracting. :( I almost asked him to take his call outside or over to the lockers. If you are going to talk on the phone at the gym be respectful and don't do it on the floor... no one wants to hear you trying to get into some girl's pants!

One thing that I have never understood... how can people workout in regular clothes especially jeans?!? How can that be comfortable? I see it a lot at the gym especially with the older crowd. What really gets me is the older gentlemen that workout in business casual attire. Kind of makes me smile a little bit even though I don't understand it. Must just be a generational thing!

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 85... Extremely low day today

So today was one of the worse days that I've had during this journey. I couldn't get out of bed today to get to the gym... so no workout for me today. Then I spent the whole afternoon asleep on the couch. All I have had to eat today is an apple and 4 bottles of water.

I was so depressed today that I nearly broke down and cried.  This is truly one of the worse days of this journey. I know that I'm going to have low days on this journey but I didn't expect it to be this bad. I just hope tomorrow is a better day.

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 84... Leg day and tap class

So today was leg day and I had an ok workout... I was sweating afterwards but I didn't feel like I worked my legs as much as I could have... I miss the sore feeling I would get from working out. I did 10 minutes on the stair stepper then did 4 sets of 12 on the leg press machine, 4 sets of 24 of lunges and 4 sets of 12 the leg curl machine... all followed by 10 more minutes on the stair stepper. Tonight I have tap class hopefully will work up a sweat. Tomorrow is cardio.

Went to Mongolian BBQ for lunch today it was ok... would seem that everything is just ok today. I'm doing
really good on my water intake today... only 1 more bottle left to reach a gallon. Last night I ruined my diet with lemon cake and a sugar cookie but I didn't gain anything so I guess that is a good thing. I really need to stop giving into cravings... I'm not going to get anywhere if I don't stop!

I'm still having a hard time getting up in the morning and going to workout. I'm finding that I'm losing steam... I just wish that I could start seeing some results again. I need to find some motivation. I just don't know what to do to get motivated again. There must be something. Maybe I'll start looking for photo shoot ideas. I need to do something to keep moving forward.

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 83... Chili's again

Today I went to lunch with my friend Karen. We went to Chili's where I had the Grilled Chicken Salad without cheese or dressing. The chicken was fantastic the salad not so much but oh well... the company was fantastic. :) No idea what is for dinner hope it is something healthy. I have 1 more bottle of water left to reach a gallon!

Today was cardio at the gym and it felt really good. I did 10 minutes on level 18 on the elliptical. Then I did 50 minutes on the treadmill jogging for 3 minutes and walking at 3.8 speed for 15. I plan on practising my tap dance tonight for at least 15 minutes so that is an extra workout for the day. I believe that tomorrow is leg day which should be just as good of a workout as today.

I have lined up the photographer for my photo shoot! I'm really getting excited. This is just another motivator for me to keep pushing myself. I just need to decide what I'm going to do for the shoot. I guess it will all depend on how confident I am when I reach my goal. Hopefully I'm as confident as I believe I will be when I reach 135.

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 82... 2 hours

I spent 2 hours at the gym today. I did 10 minutes on the elliptical then focused on total body strength training. It felt really good working everything. I followed everything with 50 minutes on the treadmill... I jogged for 2 minutes (I can't wait until I get back to the point of where I was before). I almost didn't do the treadmill today but then I reminded myself of the photo shoot that I want to do and I decided that I need to push myself if I'm going to be ready. Tomorrow is cardio and I'm looking forward to it.

I'm having a hard time wanting to workout... even though I look forward to working out the actual getting to the gym is getting hard. I find that I want to stay in bed instead of getting up. I really need to get back in the swing of things. I just don't know how. I think it is just going to take time... once I start seeing results again I think it will get easier.

After the weekend of splurging I had I needed to stay focused on eating healthy. I've done good today I just hope that I can stick with it through the night. The evening is always the hardest for me... I find myself always giving in to my cravings at night. I just need to stay focused on my goals it is the only way I'm going to make any progress. My water intake has been pretty good today I still have 2 bottles of water to get my gallon in for the day but that should be easy to do.

So last night I ended up getting a workout in afterall... it felt good. I did 20 minutes of tap practice then 30 minutes on my mother-in-law's exercise bike. I was sweating pretty good by the end of it.

I'm getting pretty excited about the photo shoot I'm going to do... I just wish that it was sooner. I still have a long ways to go but I'm determined to get there. I'm also wondering if maybe I should do a middle of the way photo shoot. I just don't know if I would feel comfortable enough to do one. I will just have to see how I feel when I get to 180.

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 81... Splurge Day 2

So today is another splurge day... but come on it is the Super Bowl so I have to splurge! :) On the menu for today is chili, chips, deviled eggs among other things!!!! Should be a good day!

No workout for me today... today is my rest day. Tomorrow is total body and I'm ready to push myself! Gotta get ready for the photo shoot in November... have a long ways to go.

I gained a pound after yesterday's splurge day... I'm just hoping I don't gain more then a pound from today. We will just have to see. The good thing is I don't feel guilty at all about these splurge days just know I can't do it often! :) It is good to have a splurge day every once in a while. After today I have 2 more splurge days in the wings... Ben's Birthday next Saturday and the Game Night with friends the following weekend. Need to just do really good on the non-splurge days to balance out.

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 80... Splurge Day

So today has been a total splurge day... no gym... french dip... onion rings... oreo shake! I've enjoyed every minute of today! Tomorrow is going to be another splurge day and it will be fantastic as well.

I spent 2 hours walking around the beautiful town of McCall with Ava, Ben and my mother-in-law and step father-in-law looking at all the awesome ice sculptures. That was my workout for the day and it was really nice.
                                                  

Me and who I'm doing this journey for... oh and Buzz Lightyear!

I haven't done very good on my goals this week... I didn't workout everyday and today I've only drank a 1/3 of a gallon of water. Next week will be better! Same goals as last week... a gallon of water a day and workout everyday except tomorrow.

I've decided that at the end of my journey I'm going to do a photo shoot. I'm going to get all dolled up and do a fun photo session just me. This is going to give me extra motivation to keep going and to get in the best shape I can. I really need to start getting serious about training... have to start pushing myself everyday.

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 79... Upper Body

Last night was not a good night... I pigged out on junk food and totally regret it now! Today is a new day though and I don't plan on messing up tonight. I will avoid the junk food! I will choose apples over animal crackers! I have 2 more bottles left to get in my gallon for the day.

Today was upper body day at the and I pushed myself on every exercise. It felt fantastic. I also did 10 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes on the treadmill. Tomorrow I'm trading in the gym for a day of walking around McCall with the family! It should be a blast.

So this weekend the diet is out the window... tomorrow we are possibly going to a place called Lardo's and then the Super Bowl on Sunday. I just hope that I don't gain too much of the weight back. I just know that come Monday I will need to hit it hard again!

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 78...

So today I traded in time at the gym for an hour long walk around the mall... not even close to an even trade off but it was a lot more fun then walking in place. Tomorrow is upper body and I'm really looking forward to it.

Last night I totally blew my diet... cheez-its, a bag of popcorn and animal crackers. I really need to stop eating that stuff. I've been doing good today... cottage cheese and an apple. My water intake is ok today... I still have 2 bottles left to drink to reach my gallon but that should be easy to get in.

I had to get another ring resizer today the original one broke because I kept having to adjust it. I also need to buy some new jeans... I'm not down to a size 12 yet or at least I don't think I am but my size 14 jeans are loose. Maybe I should go try on a pair of size 12 jeans. :)

Let the lbs melt!!!

Day 77... Weigh-in Day!!!!

Today is a good day! I was so excited to weigh in this morning I actually woke up early to weigh myself.

I'm at:

186.2!!!!

I surpassed my goal of 190!!!! I get my pedicure!!! My next goal is 185 by the 15th! I should be able to beat that goal too!!!!

On of the most exciting results that I saw today was not the scale but the progress picture I took today...

This was taken first thing this morning so no make up and a sports bra so forgive me for the bad picture but the difference is amazing in my mind. I still have a long ways to go but this gives me the motivation to continue.

Today was family lunch day and we went to Pollo Rey... it was wonderful. I had the Roasted Chicken Salad without cheese and dressing. It was so good without the dressing didn't even need it. I still have 2 bottles of water left to reach a gallon but it should be easy to hit.

Today was leg day and it was a fantastic workout... I pushed myself and sweated like crazy. First I did 10 minutes on the stair stepper... I didn't think I would be able to do even a minute! Then I did 4 sets of 12 on the seated leg press, 4 sets of 24 lunges and 4 sets of 12 on the leg curl machine. I followed all of that up by another 10 minutes on the stair stepper. Oh and I have tap class tonight which always makes me sweat. Good day for working out!

After weighing in today and seeing the progress pictures I'm more determined then ever to continue to get to my goal!!!
