Slowing Down!!

I think that in the beginning of this competition when I started at 171 that I was really losing weight very quickly like 2-3 pounds every week and now... well I am definitely slowing down. I think that possibly my body is starting to regulate to the weight that it is supposed to be and so it is going oh so slowly. I am barely squeaking out a pound a week now and it is frustrating. I have serious goals for not going overboard this holiday season like if I really want dessert than skip on the carbs at dinner like rolls and potatoes. Good luck girls and have a super Christmas!!

I Can't Believe I Cracked My Way into the 140's

I don't know if I should call this picture my inspirational one of the week or a picture of something that I will never be!! I mean she hasn't had any kids and so her boobs are still perky and her stomach is flat, don't mind me I'm just bitter and she's 39 for crying out loud!! Anyways I cracked my way into the 140's I am officially 149 but maybe not at the end of today but I am right now, and I am celebrating!! I am running really good right now and for longer stretches and thanks to you who gave me advice on if I should run for distance or for time, I appreciate it. I am doing better with eating but a problem I am having now is that of course I am stopping my eating by 7:00 but I don't go to bed until like 9:30 or 10:00 so I start to get hungry again. I guess I should just go to bed earlier but hey my kids are in bed and I run around getting stuff done. I need to find a way to take my mind off of it. OK so ward Christmas party is tonight and I need to plan now what I am going to eat and not eat. Maybe no rolls and no potatoes but I have to have cheesecake maybe half a slice. It is always better to make a decision beforehand so you don't get roped into other things when you are there. Sounds like an after-school special moment right. It's true!! Good luck ladies

Bloated!!

This contest is making me go banana sandwich. I can't freakin lose like the last one and it is making me totally crazy!! I just started my period yesterday for the first time in a year and half due to pregnancy and nursing. I don't like feeling bloated and crampy again and it makes me just mad! Alright enough ranting and raving. OK maybe not, how come it is so easy to put weight on in like one day (Thanksgiving) and than its like 2 weeks to take off, the world is not fair I tell ya. Since we live in the mountains I am always like huffing and puffing to run. I went to Yuma for Thanksgiving and was like running all over the place and not getting tired or winded I seriously am mad at elevation! You would think that because I have lived here 3 years that it wouldn't make a difference but it totally does. I have been eating seriously great this past week so it makes me mad that mother earth's gift snuck back in after soooo long for the weigh-in. Oh well better luck next tim. Good luck chickies!!

Down 3 more pounds, Ya!!

So I did a lot better this week than last and guess what it shows! The most shocking thing of all is that when I lost from the last contest I really didn't see it at all, anywhere but I finally realized it. We live in Pinetop in the cold country and we are leaving today to go to Yuma for Thanksgiving so I got out a whole bunch of old capris that totally haven't fit me forever but I looked at them and said why not lets try them on, and they all fetchin fit!! Not just fit but were slightly loose when they were skin tight before. It's a Thanksgiving miracle I say. I actually have summer clothes that fit. I am so excited I could do a jiggy jig. I am getting a big nervous about Thanksgiving and I am saying just for me that I am totally taking that meal off and not feeling a bit bad about it. I am not speaking for everyone but for me I am having a heyday. What other day is totally about food I mean come on!! I will just have to step it up for workouts. Happy Thanksgiving ladies and doesn't it totally suck that our weigh-in is the day after. Yikes!!

Sick,Sick,Sick

So I got sick with a wicked cold this week and of course its not the flu so I sat in bed and ate more than I should have. Yes I lost like 2 pounds but I should have lost more this first week. I couldn't exercise either so there ya go. I sure hope I do better next week, I need some better motivation and a better food plan. I think that I have to like make a better meal for the week which I will totally try to do. Good luck ladies, keep truckin

156 and 16 to go!!

I had to post my latest picture of my Halloween costume. I don't think it would have fit 20 pounds ago. Alas I could not find my camera but I swear I'll have it for next week. 156 means that I have gained 5 back from the last contest but it'll come off fast. I have learned that of course there are more things that I can change about my diet. More protein,less carbs and more water drinking. I only tend to drink with meals and that needs to change. I do not like the cold weather coming on that means less time outside and more in and that can be a struggle with working out. I am going to be dedicated and do even better. I would probably fall over dead if I actually got to my goal weight this time it would be wonderful. This little taste of success has defintely given me the confidence to do more and I love it! Good luck ladies.
