WLJ (Week 8 - 10)

Man have I been bad about posting updates. Being super busy should not be an excuse to just sit down and reflect what has happened or is happening. Especially when I only need to really do it once a week. Maybe I should set a reminder on my phone like I do for everything else. LOL.

Well since May 9th I have had my ups and downs. I have gained and lost. So I didn't weigh in the last 2 weeks because I felt that I had been very bad during the week. I had been eating out and even though I did eat veggies with my food (big accomplishment for me) I still felt horrible. I have been telling myself you need to keep exercising, eating healthy etc. but some nights I would just give in and tell the kids lets go eat. Isn't that much easier? Yes but it does not help my end goal.

Well today I decided to weigh in instead of waiting for tomorrow because I wanted to make sure and get back on track right away. Well holy cow I did a dance and I was fully clothed when weighing in and I still lost 4.9 lbs since last weigh in. So since I had gained in previous weeks it only takes my total weight loss since starting to 11 lbs. I think that losing on average 1 pound per week is good for me. Little steps and soon enough I will be celebrating much more.

Stay tuned..

WLJ Week 4-7 (Bad Month)

Wow it seems like it has been forever since I posted last. Well I can honestly say that this past month was a month that I don't want repeated for a very long time. I had a very busy work life and home life. I managed to fit 4 city(building) inspections, IFA inspections (all 13 buildings and apartments), employee changes, 2 weddings, track meets, ear surgery, CIAA meetings/changes and my normal day to day activities into ONE month.

So with that said I did not keep track of my food intake or my exercises the way I should have. I would gain one week but then lose it the next. Now I am ok with taking my time on losing this weight because I need to learn what I am doing wrong and how I need to keep off the weight.

This week instead of going into each week of gains and losses I am just going to say that since I started my WLJ I have lost 8.5 pounds.

I am starting this week with new goals and ending the week with going to Okoboji to see JACI!!!
