This Is My Year!

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

End of the 7th Week

Been watching the scale too much this week.  Felt discouraged earlier this week and felt like binging on Wednesday.  I drank a chocolate protein shake, but that didn't curb my sweet tooth.  Soooo, I ate a small piece of chocolate cheesecake and didn't feel guilty about it at all.  It is PMS time, starting my cycle in a couple days.

I had a hard workout on Thursday, burned 53 calories in 5 minutes on the exercise machine that is the hybrid of a stairmaster and elliptical.  It kicks my arse!  My knees pop each stride, but it's not a painful "pop".  I decided to go to the regular elliptical and burned 515 calories in 40 minutes!  That was way better than I have ever done since I started.

I had wanted to be under the 260 lb. plateau I had reached all week, and today...YAY, I am 259 1/2.  I have also shed 2.5% bodyfat in these first 7 weeks.

Tomorrow is "cheat day"...hmmmm, I wonder if I will feel like cheating.  Probably as I'm suppose to start my period and there are usually cravings that come right along with that!

End of 6th Week

It's the end of the 6th week, here are my pics.  The first one is when I started this, and the second one is of today.  I shed 2 lbs in the last week, making a total weight shedding of 15 lbs. in 6 weeks, so far.  That makes me 260 lbs., still not under 260, which was my goal this week.  I just get to be a bit more patient.


I was so tired this morning when I took that picture and I hadn't showered yet, lol.  I feel a lot better now that I have showered and washed my hair.  Even so, I look like I have thinned out in the face and my complexion looks healthier.  It also looks like my chin is no longer "melting" into my neck.

I sure had a big cheat day yesterday.  I had pancakes for breakfast with butter and syrup, I had a Twix candybar, I drank coffee with full fat hazelnut creamer and I had taco salad for dinner and chocolate cheesecake for dessert.  AND, I'm still shedding the weight.

My measurements from last week Feb 27, 2011:

neck:  14 3/4"
upper arm:  14 3/4"
chest: 44"
waist:  36"
hips:  53"
thigh:  33"
calf:  18 3/4"

Today, Mar. 6, 2011:

neck:  14 1/2" (down 1/4")
upper arm:  14 3/4" (no change)
chest:  43 1/4" (down 3/4")
waist:  36" (no change)
hips:  52 1/2" (down 1/2")
thigh:  33" (no change)
calf:  18 3/4" (no change)

I went to the gym only once this week and had a great workout.  So great it injured my right foot and my plantar fasciitis flared up, so I couldn't go to the gym the rest of this last week.  The pain has eased up since yesterday, so I will go to the gym tomorrow and see how it goes.

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.
