Another good week !

Lost another 4 pounds this week!!

Well, I'm at 46 lbs total. Almost half way there. I feel really amazing. I'm totally proud of myself. I've changed in so many ways. Everyday I think about WHEN I'm going to exercise, not IF I'm going to exercise. Every time I'm feeling hungry, I ask myself OUTLOUD "WHY am I hungry? Am I really hungry?" I check the time to see if it's almost my next meal or snack time and if not, I realize I'm probably just bored or distracted. I focus on something else until my meal or snack time. I also fill myself up with water. whenever I'm offered something really fattening at work, I think about the pictures I've posted on this blog and I easily say, "No thanks!". I also see greasy fattening foods as unappetizing !! Completely opposite of the old me. The best thing is that I still eat what I want, just less of it. I'm much more balanced. I have to say, that hearing my kids talk about being healthy by exercise and eating right makes me very happy. They both "run" around the house saying, "I want to be healthy! I want to be healthy!".
Well, another week of healthy living... slow and steady, slow and steady... Every meal is a new chance to make the right decisions...

Week 14!

2.6 lbs loss this week.

What can I say..... I'm on fire !

My darling sis Ali bought me the most beautiful clothes from Lord & Taylor! Size 18 & looks awesome! Can't wait to wear it at next get together !!

Woo Hoo !!!

Week 13

I didn't weight in for Week 12 because I had too many errands last Sunday. I actually had to abandon Silvia at the meeting and she had to walk home! LOL ! Sorry Silvia !!

Anyway, this week's weigh in showed a 5.6lb loss! Again it's for 2 weeks but it's still perfect! Still exercising regularly, making smart choices about my meals, having healthy snacks in between and not eating my kids left overs. It's such a mind over matter thing. I completely talk to myself before I put anything in my mouth. Now, this doesn't mean I don't treat myself. I just decide what lucky food will get to be the treat that week. Last Thursday I feasted on Sushi. I mean feasted! But keeping up with my workouts and eating smart the rest of the time still gave me a weightloss this week. I'm eating all the time and am rarely "hungry".

By the way, I donated 2 huge garbage bags of all my size 24 clothes! I only kept one pair of shorts that I wore all the time last summer. I want to keep them to remember how bad it got for me. I want to take one of those pictures of me and another person in them! LOL !! I think I'll use Allison since she has such a small waist ! LOL !!

Alright, another week to begin and another week to look towards a good weigh in next sunday!
Later All !!! Hoo Ra !!

Size 18 !!!

I was a size 24 when I started my journey.

I'm now a size 18 ! I went shopping this weekend because all my work shirts looked ridiculous on me! they actually were hanging so ugly on my body! I bought 5 new tops all size 18. I also spent some time taking out all my size 24 clothes out of the closet and I'm getting ready to donate it. I will not save them because I will never be that size again. Ever.

My shoes even feel looser on my feet !!

3/17/10

I started getting comments at work today. Feels really GOOD to hear "You're really losing weight!! How are you doing it?!" Then I say, "It's amazing what eating healthy and exercising will do to your body!" 3 different people randomly said that I look really great! I feel great and I can't wait for the next few months. I feel sooooo good now I can't imaging feeling better but I know I will and I can't imagine it!!

Anyway, thanks to everyone for their continued support!

I'm actually going to freak out when I hit 199. I haven't had a 1 as the first number in my weight in almost 10 years !!!!!

I know it's just a matter of time. It's not IF I can do it, it's WHEN I do it !!!

Thanks to everyone for your encouragement!

I'm in a zone and on a roll. Lost 4 lbs this week.

My total loss is 31 pounds! I started shopping in my closet and it feels amazing. I'm wearing a size 18 !!! I've been a 24 for so long I almost donated my size 18 clothes !! Can't wait to get into my 16 skirts and when I get to 14 I'll have to go shopping because I only have 2 things that are a 14 ! LOL !!!

Can't wait to not shop in the "Woman" size sections anymore !!!
