Great Weigh-In!

Today I had a great weigh in!  I am down another 1.6 pounds since last Thursday!  That brings my total loss to 6.3 pounds so far!  At this rate, I sure hope to meet my first goal of 220  by March 1st. 

I am a little concerned with going out of town for work.  First of all, we are driving to Canada, which is like a 7 hour drive.  I will NEVER do this again!  Second, I'm driving with this heinous bitch.  She is so mean, I don't know why I ever agreed to drive with her.  NEVER AGAIN! 

I am bringing my workout clothes and will do my best to stay the heck away from her.  She makes my skin crawl...

Sunday Burn

Today I had a great workout.  I love that they opened a Planet Fitness so close to my house.  I'm kind of bummed that they don't offer classes, but they have a ton of equipment and it's very convenient. and cheap :)

I've been using this app called Fitness Builder.  It's basically pre-designed workouts for any body part.  There are hundreds to choose from.  I love it!  It's great for someone like me who doesn't want to spend the money on a personal trainer but wants a workout designed for them.  It totally takes the guess work out of it and for instance today I did arms and chest so it gave me a whole routine to follow.  I'm still on the 30 day trial period but I think I'll purchase it when the trial is done.  I'm kind of bummed that it doesn't sync with My Fitness Pal.  I bet I could put my workout on there though!

I have to go out of town for work on Tuesday and I remember that the hotel has a gym so I hope to get a couple of workouts in.

Below is today's workout. I also did some cardio and abs.

Well hello, old friend!

I'm very excited to announce that this girl is back on the wagon!  I officially restarted MWLC last week.  Found out I'm as fat as I was when I started my weight loss in 2011.  Seriously...what the crap?  Well, no time like the present to acknowledge that I'm fat and I don't want to be fat no more :)

So anyway, got my blood taken last week and the blood results came back - low HDL and pre-diabetic!  Geez oh pete's, I'm a fat ass and now this???  So anyway, it time to get.down.to.bid'ness.

I'll go with last Friday's starting weight, which was 229.3.  I got weighed in the other day and I was already at 224.6, so I've made some progress already.  Just got to keep it up.

My ultimate goal would be to get to 150.  I know I can do this if I stick to it.  Losing weight isn't impossible, it just takes commitment.  Getting healthy and not being embarrassed to get pictures taken with my kiddos is a huge motivation to me.  I want people to look at me and say "damn, you look good for being (almost) 43!".  I'm realistic that I'm not going to wake up skinny tomorrow...this is a marathon, not a sprint.

My first goal is 220.

What works for me....

- logging my food
- working out
- NO WINE!!!!!
