Week Twelve: Weigh In

Weight: 207lbs

As my last post stated, I am trying out the Lean for Life book, to help structure my weight loss. The first three days are protein days. My motivational tools:

I decided it was time to do something about my weight when I realized I was starting to feed my daughter the same bad food that made me feel so bad about myself for so long.

Goal weight: 111-150

My personal motivators:

1. Teaching Charlotte how to live a healthy life
2. Being able to play with her
3. Looking and feeling amazing for my 21^st birthday
4. Feeling more attractive
5. Feel proud of myself and healthy

Personal satisfaction: 7

My current BMI is: 35.1

My Rule of Thumb ideal weight is 125

Today I weigh 211lbs

My goal weight is 130 lbs

To achieve this goal, I will lose 81lbs 

This last section was the hardest for me to write here, on a blog that anyone can see. I am committed. I am the pig, when it comes to eggs and bacon... haha.

By the way, even though I have lost 4lbs in two days, yesterday was one of the hardest days on a diet I have ever experienced. I ate only protein, I had two ounces of tuna for breakfast, two ounces of cheddar cheese for a snack (gross) I had two eggs for lunch and a protein shake for dinner. I didn't have the two other snacks I was supposed to because I kept falling asleep! I literally couldn't keep my eyes open for any length of time past 12:00pm. I also had a massive headache for most of the night and I was nauseous for most of the day. I did do Ab ripper X from P90X though...

Wish me luck! I want this to be the program that finally does it. Any advice would be appreciated :)

Time Goes On

Week Eleven and a Half

I have been gone for quite some time now. Like I predicted a lot has changed. I am no longer working at the shoe store, for personal reasons. I have started a business called Mama McKenzie in the meantime ( www.facebook.com/Ms.MamaMcKenzie ) to help financially. We have had a lot of love and support from our families as well, a special thank you goes out to them!

I have let my goals go, and I felt like giving up for a long time now. In a way I did, I simply stopped trying to improve myself. Stopped caring about what I was giving my body. All this needs to change in a DRAMATIC way. I just weighed myself and I am back up to 211lbs. It hurts to even type that... but I havent gained all my weight back, so that's a plus.

My new form of action is Lean for Life. A tool that my mom has used that has helped her. Another resource I will be calling on heavily, is my husband, Nick. He really is my rock, and has said, "whatever I ask him to do, he will do, to help me through this." Yup, he is pretty amazing! :)

So here we are, starting a new adventure. Join me?
