And then there was 2...

Wow!  I made it into the 320's today!  I am so freaking excited!  I might actually make it below 300 before the new year...That would be so awesome to break into a new year and never see the 300+ ever again.  That is my current goal.  Hopefully I can really make it.  Going to kick in exercise this week so I can start working on toning my body.  I swear that even though I have never been this weight in 12+ years, that I have been in smaller pants...so I gotta start building some muscle again to pull my fat into a more compact container! :)  Wish me luck on that process...I know it could slow my weight loss...but it could also keep it going longer term so I can reach my goals

Been a while...

Well...Just realized it has been a WHILE since I posted something.  Well...as expected...end of April till End of June I was totally off the journey.  But I got refocused and have been loosing mass again for about two months.  This morning I was down to 334.6 pounds.  That is HUGE for me...I haven't been below 340 since 1999...so this is my lowest this century!  Woot! Going to get my massage at the Woodhouse soon...can't wait!

3.1

Starting the day sore from yesterday. We mowed until we couldn't any longer at our overgrown jungle.

This morning for breakfast I recreated McDonald's steak bagel at half the calories. Used a 2 oz meat portion, on a lenders bagel with half an egg scrambled omlet style, and lots of sauteed onions. I would say it compared well to the inspiration. All cooked without oil, just cooking spray to coat the pan.

Today, we have to go shopping. Then we have a birthday party to attend for one of my kids friends. Then this afternoon to my parents house for dinner. Going to be interesting keeping lite.

Week 3...weigh in

Well....down a little more this week. Lots of stress again after I had to fire one of my workers on Monday, then proceeded to work 53 hours for the week to keep up with the work load....perils of being the department head. I weighed in at 361.4 this week. That is down a total of 17.4 pounds. Happy to be still moving in the right direction, I just don't want to get discouraged because it isn't coming off as fast as previous diets. Par for the course I guess...I just have to stick to it.

Week 2

Well, second week weigh in wasn't nearly as good as week one, but they seldom are. Overall a loss is a loss. So I am still happy.363.8 lbs is where I was this week. Wish I could lose 14 lbs next week...I could really go for a massage right now! This week was hell at work and home. Monday Brandy fell and sprained her leg, so I played driving Mrs daisy all week, late for work everyday except the last two. Then had a glorious end to my week when the boss comes in my office at 330 with a problem with one of my workers. Great! Glad this week is over. I need a vacation! Two more weeks and I get a week off. Yay!

So push come to shove 15 lbs down in 2 weeks without above and beyond exercise isn't bad. I am starting to feel a little better...so maybe a little exercise is in the future.

Beginning...one week in

Well. Last Sunday I started again trying to eat better and see if I could shed some pounds. I started at 378.6 pounds. Not my heaviest but a far road to travel before I get out of the obese category according to the CDC which is my goal. I am embarrassed that Mississippi is #1 on the obesity epidemic and that I am part of that number. I know that my journey isn't going to solve the problem. But at least I won't be part of the problem anymore. And maybe just maybe I can inspire some other person to do the same. No single drop is responsible for the flood.

Anyway, this week at my weigh in...I am down 12 pounds to 366.8 pounds. I am thrilled beyond belief. My goal by summer break is to be down 30 pounds that will put me below 350 and will be the first time I have been that low since Andy was born. Andy is about to be 4...so it will be nice to get there. I also had promised myself a massage at 350 and since Brandy gave me a coupon for a massage as part of my Christmas present I have been looking forward to it for months now.
