Update - Too Busy, But that's going to change!

I have neglected this blog, as well as my plans with weight loss for a month now. I have pretty much maintained what I have lost, teetering between 177 and 179 pounds.
When I was looking at my calendar, I realized that my next mini goal is fast approaching, September 14th, when I am supposed to weigh 169 or less! I really want to meet this goal and I have 19 days to do it!

I have not been walking at all, it is way too hot, however the evenings have been cooling off recently. I have no choice, I'm going to have to do it!

So I set my starting weight at 179 as of today and hoping to lose 10 pounds in 19 days?! We shall see.....

Wednesday Weekly Weigh In 7/21/10

This is the first weigh in I have had in 4 weeks! The last weigh in was on June 23rd. Many things have kept me busy, which I knew they would, so I didn't post on this site, nor did I really worry about my diet or exercise. I took a short break, which ended up being a month, and I am ready to start again! Though I was not worrying about my diet so much, I didn't go and eat anything and everything in site! But I did not  count any calories at all and there were many fast food trips and a couple of grill outs that I attended. There have been many sno cones and Ice creams bought and I haven't cooked the healthiest of dinners lately. I haven't took my daily walk/jog in a month either! My body has been craving it, but I just never made myself do it. I haven't been very active at all and found myself feeling very sluggish this month. I think I have sabotaged everything I have accomplished, but I could not bring myself to get on the scale to check!

I knew a few days ago that today would be the day that I start back on my calorie counting and walking, and I have been scared to know the damage I have done from taking a month off. I started my journey May 11th at 189.6 lbs and as my last weigh in on June 23rd, I weighed 177.2, having me lose 12.5 lbs.  That was the most success I have had in any of my weightloss attempts in the past. I had set a mini goal to be 179lbs by July 12th and I had reached it in June.

I was so nervous this morning for the weigh in. Giving my past history of dieting and then stopping I figured I would have gained it back, or at the very least be in the 180's again. But I took a deep breath and got on the scale this morning to find this:

I only gained  0.4 lbs in a month! I am still within my mini goal! I haven't sabotaged myself at all!
It is such a relief and I am so excited to be starting again without having to lose pounds that I put back on.

I really don't understand it, Maybe whatever I was doing before kicked my metabolism into  gear and allowed me to burn what I was eating the way its supposed to. The only thing I continued to do during my break, was drink a 16.9oz bottle of the Lipton Diet Sparkling Green Tea everyday. So whether that had a little part in my metabolism I don't know. I'm just very happy! 

Wednesday Weekly Weigh-In 6/23/10

Sigh, I knew I should have tried harder to get some more activity in for the week. I have had one of the laziest weeks this week! The types of foods that I was sometimes eating weren't the best either. I am happy that I didn't gain weight. I am really going to try harder this week! Last weeks weigh-in I was at 178.2
When I weighed this morning I was at 178.6.

Like I said, I am very happy I didn't gain and I am still in the 170's! It just shows that eating within calories is not enough! I cannot slack in the activities if I want the weight to shed!

Wednesday Weekly Weigh-In 6/16/10

What a week this has been! I did great with sticking with my calories. I only got in 4 days of activity. Been very sick the last 2 days. I weighed myself this morning and very surprised and happy at what I Saw!

I lost 4.4 pounds this week! Not only that but I hit my 1st Mini Goal   3 and a half weeks early! Since I started this journey 5 Weeks ago, I have lost a total of 11.4 pounds!

I'm expecting to hit a plateau week(s) soon. I just hope it is easy to stay strong through it.

Welcome to the first of many, Wednesday Weekly Weigh-In. I will share with you each Wednesday the results of my weightloss Journey. I started this journey on May 11th, 2010 weighing 189.6 I have set mini goals for myself, that you can read more about here. My first mini goal ends July 12th, where I am hoping to weigh 179! I think I am going to do it with no problem! Because My weight today was

So I have lost 7 pounds in 4 weeks.  I will say that I probably could have done better. During the end of week 2 and start of week 3 there was quite a few bad days! I hosted a Shrek Ever After Mcdonalds party and though I got a grilled chicken sandwich, I ate way too many nuggets. I also didn't do any exercise four days that week and My hubby took us to Outback one of those nights. But I am still happy that I am keeping up with the goal and already so close to meeting my first mini goal!
