This week I had some different things going on.
With me gaining weight last week, I started the new week off pretty dissappointed in myself. I will say this I have come this far and I will continue my journey
Sunday June 14, 2009. I celebrated my 33rd birthday. It was a good day. I sit back and think how far I have come even from this time last year to today. It is so amazing that I was able to turn my life around so quickly.
I did have my measurements taken on Thursday June 18, 2009. With me doing my measurements this month there wasn't much of a change. considering all the ups and downs that I have had this past month. I did end up gaining 3 pounds overall for the month
When I was scheduling with Mike to do my measurements i kept of procrastinating on having them taken. By the time I finally did the measurements i was starting to run out of time. After we did the measurements. I was disappointed in the outcome. I was hoping they would have been more of change. But for the most part everything stayed the same except for the weight. I was walking back to the locker room to get my I Pod when Mike was trying to talk to me but I just kept walking away. I really didn't want to talk to him or anymore else. however, that didn't work out that well. he got my attention and we talked about things. Next thing I new he was offering to meet me at the gym on Friday to workout together. I thought that was really nice. I am hoping that maybe in the future we can do that again. It made the workout time spent go by faster having someone to workout with.
something that I need to work on is my eating and drinking routine on Faraday's. Considering I am always worried on Friday's. I never want to eat or drink much after about 3 pm. that way I know it should be out of my system by the time I weigh in on Saturday mornings. That is the next thing I am going to talk to Mike about.
well this week once again I did end up gaining again for the week. However, this time it was only .8 pounds. I can handle that. I am just wondering what the outcome will be in 2 weeks.
I know for sure that I will not be able to make my weight watcher meeting on Saturday. I will be actually out of town. I will be enjoying myself in Hawaii.
I have learned another great thing about losing all the weight that I have. That would be with flying. In the past I wouldn't be able to buckle my seat belt. depending on who I was traveling with I would eight act like I have my seat belt on or I would just at the flight attendant for a seat belt extender. With this time I didn't have to worry about doing that at all. I was actually able to use the regular one and be able to tighten it up.
SOMETHING TO REMEMBER: NEVER GIVE UP! In the hardest moments in life you are being TESTED to see how STRONG you really are.

Saturday June 6,2009 weightloss Update
Well this week i started out thinking what am i going to do differently this week to get me back on the right track.
i thought about it for awhile and for some reason I really haven't been to motivated to be going to the gym. I have been going don't get me wrong but I really haven't been putting that much effort into it like I have in the past. Whether you have a personal trainer helping you stay motivated or not should not mean that you start slacking off. You need to keep going on your own.
When I started this week I made a commitment to myself that I would change things around at the gym, diet. I would start focusing harder, staying committed again for the entire This week I actually managed to get to the gym everyday at least once. Then on Wednesday and Friday I was actually at the gym twice a day. I was determined to have a good weight loss this week.
Well this week I ended up losing 6.2 pounds. which is exactly what I needed to lose to reach my 100 pound mark at weight watchers. I have now lost a total of 112 pounds since May 2008. I now weigh 243.2 pounds. With me losing that 100 pounds I was presented with a certificate congratulating me from weight watchers. I also got a new 100 pound magnet and another weight to add to my key chain.
:):):):):):):):):):):):):): wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwooooooooooooooooooo

Saturday May 23,2009 weight loss update
I know I have not spent much time lately keeping you all updated but here it goes. I am still actively doing everything that I set forth in doing in August. So here it goes.
This week I was planning on going to weight watchers like I normally do every Saturday morning. However, on my way to the gym I noticed I was having some car problems so I dealt with that instead of going to weight watchers this week. I could have gone another day but I have decided to go ahead and wait until next Saturday and go.
I am done with my personal training time for right now at the gym. However, Mike is willing to work up an exercise routine that I work on for about 2 weeks then I go back to him and he changes it. I still go to my water aerobics class.
Here is an update on my milestones that I have reached since coming back to the gym in August 2008. Thank you Adam (my first trainer) for being so motivational for me in the beginning and now. We all wondered how far will I actually go and will I stick with it. Here I am today still at it. Not planning on quiting anytime soon either. I have come so far and so much further yet to go. Thank you also to my other trainers that I have had or have Jill, Mike and April (water aerobics instructor)
8-23-08, 1) walked through those big doors
10-11-08, 2) lost my 1st 10% of my starting weight
11-8-08, 3) weighed under 300 pounds
12-23-08 4) (not a milestone) but I broke my pinkie
1-10-09, 5) lost 20% of my starting weight
4-3-09, 6) weighed under 250 pounds
4-18-09. 7) lost 30% of my starting weight
6-09, 8) losing 100 pounds since August when I started
5-13-09, 8) while doing my monthly measurements I found out that I have now lost 15 inches off my waste. To give you an example of that. when I started in August my dental scrub pant was a 5X. They were actually getting to be to tight. Which I definitely can't wear anymore. I then switched awhile ago to a 3X. Last week I noticed that those were getting to be to big. So I went and bought another new pair. Well I am so amazed but they are XL. They are a little tight but they are wearable.
With losing all this weight. And having more energy, confidence, better self esteem this summer I am in the process of learning how to golf. I have never golfed in my life other than put put. Next month I will be taking a class. I have been out several times to hit balls. Then on memorial day my mom and aunt felt like being adventurous. We went ahead and played golf on a golf course. I did have fun and want to do it again. I am happy to say that I didn't lose a ball like my mom did. Especially on the first hole. However the score needs a lot of improvement 73. But, hay I am learning and the people behind us had plenty of time to rest.
I have also gone now 7 months without gambling. I have so much to look forward to. Rather than waisting my money and time on that. In the PAST my focus was when can I go to the casino next. No matter what that consequence will bring. In most times broke and depressed. That i lost all that money.

This is a life change that is well worth it. And I want to see how far I can go. Like the energizer bunny. I just keep trying to focus one day at a time with everything.
One thing with weight watchers that I need to do better is focus on tracking what I eat throughout the day and week. Instead of trying to remember what I have eaten. Also that way I have a log to look back upon in the future to see what I have found out what worked and what didn't work.
Well have a good week.

Saturday April 18, 2009 Weight Loss Update
This past week for some reason who knows why now but I really didn't pay close attention like I have in the past to my diet and exercise routine.
By the time Saturday morning came I was really dreading the weigh in process at weight watchers. I really wanted to just pay and go to the meeting and move on with my day and not weigh in. But then my curiosity got the best of me. You are here no matter how bad of a week you think or know you had you can always change it the next week. So I hoped on to that wonderful scale and I found out that I had Lost weight. I lost 3.6 pounds. I now weigh 246.6 pounds. I have lost 96.6 pounds since September. And a total of 109 pounds since May.
