Boy oh boy did I get off track! I am back now and ready to go! My husband and I have decided on a friendly competition to see who can lose the largest %age of weight in 6 weeks. Anyone that knows me knows by “friendly competition” I mean I will try my best to destroy him. But really in the end we will both be winners, healthier, happier people. Unless I lose, then he won’t be happy much. :)
IT’S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG!
Well the scale said 169.8 this morning. Not a big deal to most, but finally seeing the 160s was huge for me!! Very excited! Have a great day!
This morning I was at 170.0! Took long enough. I have been fluctuating between 170.8 and 172.8 for weeks!! Now that I hit this mark I am going to be diligent to knock of 5 more as quick as I can! I went shopping this weekend and was able to buy smaller sizes than I have in a long time!! I put on shorts from last summer and they still fit, actually they were a little loose! I got my hair cut short and I feel pretty! It is so weird to look in the mirror and not feel like gagging or crying! I can feel it in my bones that this is going to be a good week for me. I hope you all feel the same for yourselves! Have a great Monday!
Golly it’s been a while! I really haven’t felt like posting lately, therefore I haven’t. I haven’t given up on my diet, but my metabolism is sooooo used to the same foods day in and day out that I still can’t get below 170!! It is beyond aggrevating. I am continuing to eat healthy meals and healthy portions, but the 17 Day Diet - as wonderful as it is - isn’t for me any more. Of course I will take everything I learned and still follow most of the plan, but I have to do what works for me, and while this worked in the beginning, it’s not working any more. Maybe in a few weeks I will be able to start with a fresh perspective. I AM NOT GIVING UP, I know some of you will read this and assume that I am going to go on a food bender, well it’s not gonna happen, so don’t worry your pretty little heads about me. I know what I was doing wrong before I started this journey and I am not going back to those bad habits. I am still going to be on a form of the 17 day plan, just one that better suits me. It’s all good. I will reach my goal, and hopefully you are here to celebrate when I do. Have a great day (even if it’s Monday)!
UGH - I felt horribly ill this morning due to my junk intake over the weekend. It was good while I ate it, but not worth my suffering in the long run. I only gained .8 since Friday, so I didn’t totally wreck my progress. Next time I decide to cheat I will limit it to one day or one meal even, lol. Lesson learned! My back and shoulders hurt so bad from my sunburn, I hope the sting comes out soon!! Sleep wasn’t peaceful last night! Anyway, I am glad this is a short week. Y’all have a great Tuesday!!
I’m a cheater and I’m ok with that. I earned this weekend. I had a great time with my boys. We went to a man mad swimming hole and had so much fun. We are all varying shades of red, but totally worth it. I’ll get back on track tomorrow. Until then, I’m having pizza for dinner! Love you all…don’t judge me. :)
Well last night I punched on a punching bag for a while and my knuckles are scraped all to heck! My gloves didn’t cover enough skin! Next time I will know better! After the punching bag I hit the treadmill for a brisk 20 minute walk. And of course the scale went the wrong way. Oh well, I am starting to see subtle differences in my appearance and my self esteem is boosting. A few ounces here and there aren’t gonna bring me down. My body is so pure right now, no caffeine, no tobacco, no drugs or alcohol. My headaches and bouts of depression are lessening. I am becoming a new, improved Leslye and it’s awesome. I won’t be able to work out tonight because our nephew Jacob is graduating and it is an hour drive one way. Don’t know what my meal plan will be either, but I will do my best to stay in my guidelines. Stephen has 2 award ceremonies at school today, I will only be able to go the the one this afternoon, then headed to the in-laws for graduation. Tomorrow is Friday, YAY! And the weathermen say it’s gonna be a gorgeous weekend, maybe I can finally put some color on my white skin! Have a great Thursday!!
I am so ready for the long weekend!! I wish I could have bbq ribs, tater salad, baked beans and naner pudding. I really wanted to be closer to my goal by this weekend, but it’s all good.
Today I want to give a big thumbs up to my friends and family who are making healthier choices - Momma, I am so proud of you for doing this. I know it’s hard to do and you are being a real trooper. So supportive of me and an inspiration. I love you. D - you are hitting the gym like a pro, I am jealous of your determination. I am proud of the choices you are making and one day all your hard work, both in the gym and in your business will pay off. Each of these people have inspired others to make healthier choices for their lives, it feels kinda like Pay It Forward. I am glad that I can be a part of each of your journeys.
A big thank you to my husband and son for helping me keep my faith every day and for cheering me on the whole time. All of my friends are really making this easier every morning I wake up and even if I have a couple of extra ounces I know that I can come back stronger and better the next day. You all inspire me and I am blessed to have such wonderful people in my life. It’s been hard posting my weight for the world to see, but you all have made it less scary. Thank you all!!
I am really close to my 170 goal - I was 171.8 this morning. I had a good weekend, I was really tempted to cheat, but I stuck it out. Heck, I’ve made it this long, why not see if I really can go the distance? Last week was a bad week emotionally, not sure why my crazy girl hormones were on a roller coaster, but I think I am back to normal. I have faith in myself! And I know y’all have faith in me. I am hoping for a big week this week in terms of loss, but if I don’t get the numbers I think I should than I know I will be ok. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Have a great Tuesday!!
Again?? I start burning calories and putting weight back on? I am not doing muscle building exercises, so I don’t know what the heck is going on. I haven’t cheated on my diet, despite the constant urge to throw my hands in the air and say “FORGET IT!”. I am thrown for a loop on this one. I know my water intake has decreased and I am working on getting it back up to the 64 daily ounces, maybe that will help? Or maybe since I have been on the same diet for so long I do need to cheat one day and shock my metabolism back on track? Don’t worry though I will not quit. I am in this for the long haul. It sucks though I was feeling really good about myself until I stepped on my scale.
Does anyone have any suggestions or tips for me?
