"Whoo Hoo!"

I DID IT! I weighed in at 140 lbs this morning! 20 pounds ago I was just not cute! (to me anyways) It's about what's inside, honey! Can you tell I'm a little happy about this final pound dropping of...cause I AM! Can I get a "Whoo Hoo!" for sexy jeans and another "Whoo Hoo!" for meeting goals, no matter what they may be!

one pound closer....

i'm at 144.5 and counting. I'm trying so hard, what's the deal? I now the more you are to your ideal weight, the more your body wants to hold on to the extra fat, but let it go already-I don't want it!... Now i need a tan!

I also wanted to share this bit of info....The Unhealthiest Drink in America Baskin Robbin’s Large Heath Bar Shake (32 oz) 2,310 calories 266 g sugar 108 g fat (64 g saturated)

Let's look at America's Worst Drink in numbers:

73: The number of ingredients that go into this milkshake.
66: The number of teaspoons of sugar this drink contains.
11: The number of Heath Bars you would have to eat to equal the number of calories found in one Baskin Robbins Large Heath Bar Shake.
8-12: The average number of minutes it takes to consume this drink.
240: The number of minutes you’d need to spend on a treadmill burning it off, running at a moderate pace.

5.5 lbs to go!

Today I'm at 145.5! I resisted a huge peice of chocolate cake this afternoon at a mother's day party. Not Easy. But worth it, I hope!

update since Monday

I just wanted to update-- I'm at 146 lbs as of this morning, and since my last post I have been on the tredmill (in the garage) every other day and eating really well. Hooray for weight loss! 6 more to go and I'm there!!!

In a rut

I haven't lost any more weight since my last post. i am not happy about that at all. I 'm not being careful about what I eat, and I'm not exersicing hardly at all. What's going on? I have been so stressed out lately about opening the hair shop, it's sooo much work, when I'm not at the shop, I'm still at home stressing about it. Stress is killing my weight loss goal, along with me saying"i just need to eat something that tastes good right now" I'm feeling like really stuck. It seems like if you eat one thing unhealthy than more you want to keep eating bad food. I need to get back on track and stop making excuses. So next post will be awesome, I promise!

147.5 lbs

I haven't weighed in for a while because all of the craiziness going on! I am at 147.5, only 7.5 to go!

Counting down from 9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1!

I am at 149 lbs! Only nine more to go! Someone, who shall remain nameless, wanted me to share what I a m doing to loose weight-so here it is. Know what's healthy and what's not! Wheat bread vs. white, 100 calories in a doughnut is not the same as 100 calories in fruit. I try to a keep low fat version of everything in the house. I try to never get HUNGRY. Always eat snacks between meals, even if your not really hungry. It will definitly keep you from pigging out at dinner, or making a bad food choice. Know your nutrition labels and what they mean. You meals shouldn't really go over about 300 calories and snacks over 150. That's about 1,200 calories per day. Allow one day a week to eat a sinful meal. It's actually good for you because it shocks your metabolism and gives you the chance to get it out of your system. It also let's me resist something I really want to eat, because I know I have to save it for that day. Soon you will find yourself loosing a pound here or a pound there and guess what, it adds up! The most important thing? Determination! You CAN loose weight if you want to. Don't give up when you feel let down by the scale or your favorite food has caught you eye... again.
