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 :-)

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!

Weight Loss!!!

Got on a scale this morning.....GOING DOWN!!! I had gone back up, but I am going down!!! Will post weight next week.  If you follow me on my other blog you know I have been going through a lot.  Well half marathon is in 2 weeks.....am I ready, NEGATIVE, but I am not giving up hope.

For me right now it is more of a mental challenge than anything. 10 miles this weekend. My goal is to finish no matter what it takes.....we shall see :-)

Welcome!!!

Welcome to my new blog! Some of you might follow my other blog and others might actually know me in real life and decided to see what this was about....Well, yesterday on facebook this was my status:

okay....operation death of fat girl has started. No fried foods, no alcohol (pray for me!), and working out at least 5 times a week....Running Race for the Cure on October 9, 2010 and walking the Music City Marathon on April 30, 2011. With God and accountability it can happen....JESUS!!! What have I gotten myself into????

This status received various comments and encouragement so I decided to track my journey.  In my other blog I talked about my weight on occasion and one of my 30 things to do while 30 is to lose at least 30 pounds. As a way of accountability and a way to track my progess this blog was created.  I will give updates on goals, milestones, activities, recipes, and things that I do that work...and don't work to help me acheive my goal....death of fat girl!!!

I have been overweight the majority of my life, but as an adult I have become obese and this has to stop! Thank God I have had no health complications and through operation death of fat girl I want to keep it that way. I am open to suggestions and ideas and encouraging words along my journey!!

Thanks for reading and/or following!!! First post will be the beginning of my journey ;-)
