Motivation

Remember me????

I have to be more consistent about posting on my blog..... Workouts are still going. Got an unexpected motivator from a facebook group I was added to. The support of women with same goal is very encouraging. I am starting a couch to 5K program......PRAY!!! We shall see how this goes. I got on the scale today. 10 more pounds down!!! Don't know if it is because I have been sick or still losing weight. My eating has not been the best, but still better and still trying to workout 3 times a week.

I know this post was very random and scattered.....sorry!! Super busy, but I knew if I didn't post I would put off again....

~Operation Death of Fat girl is still on!!!!!

Moment of Transperancy

Been meaning to write this post for a while. Woke up early this morning and finally decided to put my thoughts down.

My last blog post talked about Church Fit and it has been a kick-starter for me. Since the beginning of February I have lost 33 pounds!!! Woo Hoo!!! The more I lose the more it inspires me to workout and eat better. I have my moments where I say screw this it is soooooooooo much easier being fat, but in the long run I know that the weight must come off.

One thing I do struggle with is what the end product will be.....what weight will be my end goal? What will I look like? What if I plateau and become complacent? Will I become to skinny and obsessed with my weight loss? I don't know if I will be able to answer any of these questions, but we shall see where this journey takes me.

Well, this is all I able to put into words for now. Hopefully will be posting here more often :-)

Church Fit

I am still alive and operation death of fat girl is still going.....

I have gotten a boost from Church Fit, a program my church is doing to help with having a healthy lifestyle. Well started at the end of January and since then I have lost.......19 pounds!!!

We shall keep this going and will update more, I have a weigh in this weekend, so lets hope the trend continues!

Yeah.....am I slouch

Still alive, weight is where I fail so hence.....not posting on this blog much.

This morning I woke up early and caught a glimpse of the Dr. Oz show and saw the woman who chronicled her 100 day workout journey. I thought that was a great idea. So I thought about how I can use this to motivate me.

My last do to visit was not great. Health was good.....weight not so much. Eating better workout sucks so how can I change this? Well here are some options I thought about :-/

1. Force myself to write in this blog daily like I do my random thoughts? I truly make myself write there rather I feel good or bad

2. The video diary? Not me, but then I think seeing myself on the journey might help?

3. Maybe a picture diary? Daily picture of me? Just not my face (face pics have been a staple since I have gained so much weight) a chronicle of how I look and if there is change

4. Take my mom up on her offer seriously....she has offered to pay off one of my student loans if I have visible weight loss by Christmas......money is great motivator

5. Accountability partner? This hasn't worked in the past just of my schedule and just my issue with people in general

Well....that's all I got for now :-/ we shall see....

Hopefully there will be more post on here often!

2.2 Miles???

What was I thinking???? But I made it!!! Walking/running with a group gives me motivation and it helps push me. If I was walking by myself trust walk would have ended at 1 mile! Will I push myself today? I play kickball with kids tonight, but I'd schedule permits I might can get 1-2 miles in......JESUS!!!!!

Zumba!!

Yesterday was my second time at Zumba, JESUS!!! I survived. But not sure if my arms did :-/ I enjoy the class, it gives me variety in my workout. And considering I have no rhythm it can be quite funny!!! My Zumba instructor is 8 months pregnant! She puts us all to shame.....but she is a great instructor.  Each night after Zumba I try to post a picture of me smiling, why? To remember despite the pain I still have to smile. Below is yesterday's pic.

Also.....In my head I was going to try to bake a peach cobbler recipe I had recently found...would so defeat the purpose of working out, but I love to bake and try new recipes.  But my body was so tired did not even attempt :-/ Lesson learned.

Over a Year!!!

Yes I am a slacker :-(  Blogging has been a challenge for me.....working out even a bigger challenge :-/ But.....after a recent doctor's appointment I have to step my game up.  Blood pressure was good, thyroid was good, cholesterol was good, diabetes.....do not have it, but if I continue on the path that I am going I will.  Considering both of my grandmothers had it, I really do not want to go down that path.....

So what am I doing about it??? Well.....

1. Eating less out (helps with budget too, so it is a win-win)
2. Workout plan, switching things up and not getting bored.
3. Taking it one day and one meal at a time...
4. It is about health not weight. 
5. Goal is to work out 3-4 times a week, alternating with workout classes, walking, and weights. 

So this is the plan.....started this week, so we shall see :-)
