Tuesday Weigh-in!
226.4 today.
Didn't make the best food choices over the weekend (road trip, man!). It was higher than this on Sunday though, so I'm hoping to continue the downward trend from here on out.

Tuesday Weigh-In!
223.6 this morning, and I'm back on track again.
I have hit a small snag though, in the workout area. I have started having pain in my right knee, and I'm not sure what is causing it. It makes YBB very difficult, trying to do plies and even the cardio section has a lot of leaning and bending, and it just hurts too much. I've tried wrapping it and icing it, but that doesn't seem to help. I guess it'll be a doctor visit when things calm down at work a bit more.
In the meantime, I'm still doing my best with smaller portions and Slim Fast, that'll just have to do for now!

Wednesday Weigh-In!
224!
I was finally true to my word yesterday. I got home and put in the YBB video. I probably over-did a little bit in my enthusiasm, but I managed to do 3/4 of the workout. Then it was dinner time, and after dinner we were watching TV and Billy suggested we go for a walk. So we walked around the neighborhood for about half an hour. I'm a little sore this morning, but it was worth it! I'm planning on exercising again on Thursday, but I'll have to see how I feel. If I'm still too sore from today, I'll do it on Friday. That's the plan, anyway! :)

Tuesday Weigh-In!
Not much of a change from yesterday, 225.0
Still, exactly halfway to my goal. I think when I started out, I expected I'd be farther along than this by now, but without exercise and simply trying to eat healthier, it doesn't surprise me that it's taking longer than I thought it would. There have been a few pitfalls and stumbling blocks along the way, but I've come a long way!
25 lbs in about 7 months. Phew. Let's see if I can keep this up and be at 50 lbs down by my next birthday, eh? :)

Monday Weigh-In!
*fanfare*
First morning weight on the new scale... 225.4!!
That puts me at almost halfway to my goal, which is awesome. It took me a bit longer to get here than I thought, but there were several ups and downs along the way that slowed me down a bit. Still, I'm here, and I'm super happy about that!

Sunday Weigh-in!
What's this?? A post on Sunday??
Yep. Finally bought a scale for the house so I'll be able to get a real and accurate weight EVERY DAY. No more subtracting for boots. So, a bump back for the ticker, I came in at 228.4 after dinner tonight. Will check again in the morning!

Saturday Weigh-In!
Yep, I am at work on a Saturday, so I thought I'd check how I'm doing on the scales. I stepped on and it said 232. Minus 6 lbs for my new boots and you get...
226!
/cheer
Again, I feel lighter. I just feel good today. Even before I weighed myself I felt more confident, more... me. So here I am re-motivating myself to exercise. We have company for the next week or so, but I'm not going to use that as an excuse. I need to remember how good I used to feel after kickboxing class, and stop worrying about looking silly. There is nothing about exercising to be afraid of!!

Wednesday Weigh-In!
Greetings everyone :)
So it's been a while... as you may have guessed, the radio silence was due to another gain that I didn't want to own up to. And once I started dealing with that, I got some new boots at work. When I weighed myself with those on, it looked like I had hit another huge gain, and I definitely didn't want to deal with that! I couldn't understand why I was still gaining a lot of weight when I have been on my feet almost constantly for the past week.
This morning I finally had a chance to weigh my new boots, and things started to make sense again. One boot weighs 3 lbs. So I am carrying around 6 lbs that don't belong to me! Once I did the math, it seems that I have at long last returned to 229. Yaaaaay!!
Let's see if I can't get that number to drop again, eh? :) Thanks for sticking with me, you guys!

231 today, damn it.
I knew the 229 wouldn't stick forever. I did eat a lot of stuff I shouldn't have this weekend, with Mother's Day and all that. I'll be back on track again this week though, and I hope to see a return to the double twos soon!

Holding steady at 229, even after pizza for dinner last night and an "employee appreciation" lunch of burgers and potato salad. *cheer*

Monday Weigh-In!
I've finally hit 230. Wooo hoo! :D
Over the weekend I was putting away some clothes and came across some size 18 jeans. I've been wearing 20's, but they have been a little big for a while, and on Friday they were almost falling down all day. So I thought I'd try them on and see.
They fit!!!
That was such a huge confidence booster, I can't even say how much. They're a little tight yet, but I'll take tight over falling off any day!

Wednesday Weigh-In!
231 again today!
I am extremely pleased with this. I think I'll be even more happy when that number drops down under 230. Maybe another week or two we'll see that happen, because this weight loss thing has been nothing if not gradual. Still, it's a gradual decline, and that's what counts.
I have been reading along with another blogger who calls herself Temerity Jane. She has been doing a project where she takes a picture of herself in a full-length mirror and posts it on her blog every day, in an effort to "either notice gradual change from my diet & exercise plan or, failing that, learn to like what I’ve got based on continual, unrelenting exposure." I admire her a ton for this, because I in no way have the cajones to post a picture of myself here every day. I am taking consolation in the numbers because I am still not comfortable with the look. From the front, I'm ok, but god forbid I turn sideways. Because then I get why people ask me when I'm due (which happened again last week, hooray).
This moment of self-loathing aside, she mentioned last week that she had downloaded an iPhone app that calculated her ideal weight, and that she had 85 lbs to lose. So of course I got curious, and since I don't have an iPhone, I Googled the idea and found a web site. I am about 5'7 1/2" tall, so I checked for both 5'7" and 5'8". The ideal weight for the shorter is 135, and the taller is 140. So in between there is 137.5 lbs. That's my ideal weight.
And what do I weigh right now again? 231. That's 93.5 lbs to lose to get to my "ideal" weight. 40% of what I weigh right now. Kind of daunting. I weigh almost twice as much as I should. Blech.
However, my first goal weight is much more manageable in my head. I mentioned before that I want to get under 200 before I start worrying about anything else. 31 lbs. One third of the way to my "ideal" weight. And when I get there I can look back at this post and be happy that I made it that far.
For me, right now, it's not about how far I have to go, it's about how far I've come. And I'm pretty proud of that!

Tuesday Weigh-in
I really need to stop skipping days!
Days, weeks, whatever.
231 today, and yesterday was 232 and Friday was 234 because we had pizza on Thursday night and I made an utter and complete pig of myself. It was delicious though, so...
I regret NOTHING!
Well, maybe a little bit.

Still 232 :)
And it looks like I'm going to be getting some exercise this weekend! I'm going to be walking downtown with my sister in law in the Susan G. Komen Walk for the Cure. Here's hoping for good weather... the weekends have been uniformly cruddy the past few weeks, and I don't want to get rained on!

232!
Kind of a surprise, because I feel like all I did on Saturday was eat! We went to the movies and saw two things, so we had lots of popcorn and nachos and candy, and after that we went out to dinner at Olive Garden. Fonduta... tasty!
