Monday

Hollie's challenge is a super motivator to walk everyday. I walked two separate times today. Went out once with Crystal and Rock. They were very ready to be done after an hour. I still felt great so I went back out for another hour...2 hours just today! So far, I've walked 3 days out of 5 that count for the challenge. And I've logged 265 minutes.
I weighed in this morning...no change. I expect a really good loss next week.

Happy dance

I got renewed motivation to walk. Hollie has started a walking challenge. From June 4 thru Aug 4, whoever logs the most minutes walking gets a $50 gift certificate. I really could use $50 bucks to buy new clothes. I walked 1 hour and 25 minutes today. I got an Ipod for my birthday and I love it! I feel like I could walk forever when I have a good song playing.
I went yesterday and got new shoes for work. I decided to look for new jeans too while I was there. My old size 20's were falling off...seriously! I picked up a size 18, went and tried them on. They weren't quite right. I asked my friend Crystal to go find a 16. She came back, I tried those on, buttoned them, zipped them. The fit!! And I could breath and sit. I did a happy dance all the way out the store and to the car. Last night as I laid in bed I was still smiling thinking about it.

I went to the store and bought a pair of size 16 jeans and they fit!

Monday weigh in

Short and sweet...weighed in this morning at 205....5 more and I'll be in Onederville!
Off to work now.

Back on the right track

I don't know how many days I've been 100% back on the plan I made for myself. But I'm back on track and feeling great. My sister got married yesterday. I was a beautiful wedding. I didn't have any wedding cake. I might have if it had been chocolate. But I'm not about to break my diet for white cake with white icing.
I moved almost 2 weeks ago and I'm still trying to get things put away and get into a routine again. I haven't been walking as much as I should but I'll get there.

Weigh in tomorrow. I expect a good number. At the very least I want the 3 lbs I gained back with the birthday blow out to be gone again. Fingers crossed!

Trying to get back on solid ground

So much has happened since my last post. I had a birthday, I finally got the insurance money from my car wreck in Jan, I moved. I had decided I was going to go off my diet for my birthday. But I ended up eating poorly and off plan the day before and I'm still not back to where I was. It's been 2 weeks. So far today I'm doing good. I plan on walking with the dog and exploring my new neighborhood today before I have to work.

New Pics

Finally got new pics. I can see a difference. I'm a 1/3 of the way to my goal.

monday weigh in

I only got in one walk this week. My lower back has been killing me. I don't know why. I probably need new shoes but I got new insoles instead so we'll see if that helps. So it's no surprise that I only managed a 3 lb loss this week. Nothing bad about losing 3 pounds. But I know I could have done better.
Weight today 207. Total lost so far...33 lbs.
I really need to get progress pics taken. I think a friend is helping me do that tomorrow.
I had a really great weekend...off work today and tomorrow...gotta clean house and whatnot
