Losing Track

I'm losing track of what I have and haven't done. I don't think I've eaten today, but I'm not entirely sure. I'm down about 2 more pounds, and I haven't kept up with my water but I keep on drinking it.


 I've been able to get moving some, but haven't done exercises, and I haven't had any soda or junk thats for sure. I sleep more, but I wake up exhausted. I'm not sure what to do from here. 

Day 6

Today wasn't too bad exercise wise, I started organizing and unpacking my house, so I got SOME lifting, bending and hauling things up and down the stairs. 


I haven't eaten anything today, so there isn't much to report there, but I have been trying to reach my water goal. Which I haven't yet but am still trying. I am down 3 pounds, probably because of the not eating. Meh. I will try for more exercise tomorrow. 

Weight What?

Ok! So I know I am still off track, haven't done much to push myself, BUT! I have been working on my water intake! I even abstained from the temptation of soda at Tori's birthday lunch even though I tried to convince myself that it was okay because its a birthday!!! YES!!! 


I did use my son as weights today... I guess that could count as minimal exercise, as well as quite a few treks up and down the stairs carrying said weight. Haha! Still haven't weighed myself, but I will try to get myself going again tomorrow. I am in a pretty good mood tonight, plan on doing some stress relieving type stuff, so I should be good to go tomorrow! 


Thanks everyone who keeps cheering me on!!! 

Day 5

Eh, didn't exercise, didn't eat almost anything today, drank a lot of water, though. Didn't weigh in either, so I don't have an update there. Trying to pull out of my funk and get moving, but it doesn't seem to work with me much. Ah well. Just keep drinking water till I can pull out. :)

Journey Day 4

Well, I have all but given up on my weight loss. I gained more weight, 2 pounds, and haven't got the heart or energy to continue exercising. I'm going to try and continue soon though... Stress and lack of energy seem to be getting the worst of me.

I haven't been drinking enough water, either. I never really think about it. And I have been craving foods that I shouldn't be eating, and with all my stress, I just give in to it.

Journey Day 3

DUDE I suck. I gained 2 pounds, I kept eating crap all day, and I skipped my exercises because I was tired. Didn't drink any water, either. EGHHHH. I will have to do better for the rest of the week iffen I want to reach any semblance of my goal. However I did get REALLY good sleep last night. :)

Journey Day 2

So I lost ONE pound for all that walking yesterday. LAME. But that's ok, another pound lost is another pound towards my goal. So I can't really whine about it. However I WILL whine about how sore I am. So many muscles my body never knew I had!!! I think I did ok today on my eating, but skipped the exercises. My knee has been swollen since yesterday. 


I definitely did not meet my water goal today, and had icky cereal for breakfast. But I will keep trying! I DID have pasta instead of fries this evening for my daddy's birthday dinner! Go me! I need to work on the muscles around my joints, like my ankle and such, they are stiffening from not much use. 


Tomorrow my main goal will be to drink my water. I will hopefully have drunk 6-8 glasses by tomorrow's post. 


Current Weight: 234

Oh My Lord

SO. Today began well. I lost five pounds yesterday!!! YAY!!! PARTY!!! I started this morning with my exercises, but missed out on breakfast. I had a migraine last night so it took me a bit to fall asleep and I woke up exhausted.


Today was the Festival of Colors, or Holi Festival in Spanish Fork. Like a nerd, I told my sister I would take her. What I didn't know however was that I would be hiking six miles to do so. We had to park 3 miles from the Sri Sri Radha Krishna temple, so had to hike there and back. Talk about painful when unexpected. I only managed to get two bottles of water into that as well, so I was pretty messed up by the time we got back. I am now tired, sore and seriously just want to sleep. Hopefully I can start the morning with a little less soreness, but I am HIGHLY doubting that. 


I didn't do so well on my choices of food either, but at that point I didn't give a rat's. I was so hungry and tired I just stopped at Wendy's. Bleh. I shall do better upon the morning. 

Today's the Day

So today was the first day of my journey! I woke up and did my jumping jacks, pushups and sit-ups! I struggled with the sit-ups, however, had trouble pulling myself up. haha. I managed to eat healthy for the day, and did not chow down on random junk food! Yay me! 


I started out this morning at 240 lbs. but I hope to lower that drastically and lose some inches in time for my husband's graduation. From there I intend to keep going for his homecoming. He has no idea I am doing this for him and its going to be such a fun surprise!! I only hope I can afford the clothes for my new shape by then...  


I did not make my water quota for the day, but I will try again tomorrow. I only realized this afternoon that I wasn't drinking my water! So I must buckle down and try again tomorrow! Before bed I am going to do some stretches, no major exercises or I won't be able to sleep. However, I will be taking a bottle of water with me to bed, in case I get thirsty in the middle of the night. I have managed to keep up with my meds, which will help a lot in the long run. I am way excited for this! I had SO much energy today!! And I think I might just turn in early tonight so I can start early tomorrow! 

Beginning the Journey

So this is my journey. I am not only unhappy about my weight and how I look, but it has also caused me health issues, such as heart problems and a chance of infertility. I am not going to take that lying down, and am going to slam that one out of my life.


My husband, currently at basic training in the Army National Guard, has no idea I am doing this. I want to have a whole new look and attitude about my body the next time I see him. Thanks to a dear friend of mine, also working on her own weight and self, I have decided to keep a log on this. She has motivated me and helped me in ways I could not possibly have imagined. 


My first goal is to lose at least one pound this week, starting small, but determined. If I accomplish this, I will bump it to 2 pounds for the next few weeks. And I intend on accomplishing this. 


Tomorrow begins a new day for me. Setting aside all fears, regrets and emotions, I am going to lose the weight I have hated for so long, and finally feel good about myself.
