I call this my "Big Bird" shirt and I ain't proud of it. Oh well I think that I have given up, not totally but of course there is the holidays coming up and the New Year is looming in the distance and making promises to me that I will have super motivation then but not now. Never give up, never surrender!!

My Arch-Enemy!!

I know that I have posted about this before but the problem keeps coming up!! I freaking love soda and Dr. Pepper specifically. I went off for an entire year once and went right back. I have even done Diet Dr. Pepper but eventually switch back to the hard stuff. How I love the burn of the bubbles going down my throat! I am still a work in progress but I am VERY aware of the huge statistics about how awful soda is for our bodies and how it can pack on weight the fastest. I am working on it ladies, I will never give up the fight. NEVER SURRENDER!! Dr. Pepper I shall defeat you someday!! ARRRGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vacation and Food!!

My father in law passed away this past week so we zoomed up to Northern Utah for a week, that is where I packed on 6 pounds. My mom and others cooking for us not to mention going back and visiting all the familiar delicious restaurants from my hometown. Traveling 12 hours on the road didn't help either it was soda, chips, and licorice to keep us all awake. I need some SERIOUS tips on how to travel and still stay on track. Any tips ladies?????

Stinkin' Halloween Cookies

So... I love to bake and give away treats to neighbors and friends but of course as you cook you eat, and as you frost, you eat, and as you deliver them you eat some off of the plate. I am making no promises for Halloween night I will do my darndest. I did lost one pound this week so I feel completely triumphant. I think that my tonsils are healed up enough so that I can start exercising again. It really hurt when I tried before and was sucking some serious wind through them. Ya, me!!!

Bad Time for Weight Loss

Sooo.... exactly two weeks ago I got my tonsils out and THAT is when the challenge should have started. I lost a total of 11 pounds and I am feelin great. Unfortunately today and probably tomorrow are the days that I am feeling the best and when I will probably start eating foods for the first time in 2 weeks. I am not sure that I will do so great the first few weeks of this challenge but hopefully my stomach has shrunk and that will go in my favor. So don't judge me by the weight I am at right now it is a total fluke of nature. I might be completely level for a few weeks and won't lose anything. Good luck ladies I am checking all of your blogs and I am sprinkling dreams of diet drinks and vegetables towards your future goals.

Size 10!!

OK so because of the trip my husband and I are taking I ordered a whole bunch of clothes from Kohl's and of course I thought well... I am usually a size 16 or 14 but I'll order a 12 and low and behold they were tooo big!! I had to return all of the capris I ordered for 10's!! Holy moly cow!! I am getting way excited about buying clothes again. I can't believe it!! from a 16 to a 10 its unbelievable!! I ordered this cute little outfit above by the way and its super cute!

Kickin it into High Gear!

OK so I am at 143 now? Like what? I still see pictures of myself and I look absolutely no better than when I was like 170. Am I losing it from my neck or possibly ankles or something?? I really thought that I would be TOTALLY happy at 150 and than like 145 and still I am so unsatisfied. I must have some serious head problems. I have been running like a crazy person every morning and also doing Slim in 6 arms, butt, and abs. I think the Slim in 6 has helped me to burn more fat but not necessarily to tone me at all. I still loathe my stomach and wish that it would magically disappear. I barely got out of bed this morning to run but alas I did it and of course I was proud of myself afterwards. I just want results too fast(don't we all). I am refocusing on daily accomplishments such as did I work out today not necessarily did I yesterday or will I tomorrow. Little steps we've all hear it but it is so hard to master. Alright still moving forward.
