This Is My Year!

This Is My Year!
I plan to shed 125 lbs. in the next 56 weeks. This is my journey...

Beginning of 3rd Week...Discouraged

I have worked out 4 times this week instead of 6.  My right foot has pain on the foot pad again, limping around.

I gained 2 lbs. this week, but have been very strict with the eating plan.  I had good weight workouts, so I am thinking the muscle fibers being developed are adding weight faster than the fat is shedding.  I shed 1/2 lb. by the end of the week, so I am at a 10 lb. total shedding, so far since I started.

Still not bad, but not what I was hoping or planning for.

I feel a little discouraged.  I had my "cheat day" yesterday and really didn't eat much sweet stuff, except the creamer in my coffee.  I find if I do, I don't feel very good.

Here is my weekly picture for comparison:


So, the first picture was 2 weeks ago, the picture of me in the gray tshirt is today.  My belly is starting to disappear!  Woohoo!
I still haven't found my cloth measuring tape. I will buy a new one.

I also feel the need to plan my workouts better, write them down, keep track of each weight I do, how many reps, sets.  That way, I can make sure I do the same weight, or more, the next time I work each machine.

I have been having cravings again, but I am managing them with protein bars and protein drinks.  They are rich and sweet, so they help.

I just want my foot and hip to stop hurting for good.  I may need to shed 10-20 more lbs. before that happens.  I may need to just deal with the pain and work out anyway, like gymnasts or ballet dancers.  They deal with a lot of physical pain while getting into shape for their sport.  I just deserve to be careful to not hurt myself permanently.

About Me

My photo
I have fluctuated over the years with my weight. Every time I have had a baby, I gained a lot of weight.

I have three wonderful boys to show for it!

Each time, I hit the gym and shed most of it.

This time I cannot blame pregnancy.

I am a stress and comfort eater and I admit it. Through two divorces (to and with the same man), I have finally come out on the good end of things.

I am blessed to be re-married to the first boy I ever had a crush on.

Now, we have a 1 year old baby and I have never been heavier.

I am starting this journey at 5'9" and 275 lbs. and 46.7% body fat.
