GONE GONE GONE!!!!

Good morning!

A full week and 8.9lbs gone, gone, gone! Exciting!

So I said that I have a goal in my last post of 150 lbs if I can lose 8 pounds a week you know I could weigh my goal weight in less than 6 weeks but is that even possible? Really, 8.9 pounds this week WOW! My goal is to lose at least 5 lbs a week and by my birthday, which is February 21, 2011 is to weigh 160 lbs. that is 5 weeks. The virtual model below on the right is was I could possibly look like at 160 lbs. The one on the left is what I possibly looked like at 195 lbs.

195 lbs 160 lbs

So the question is how? How am I losing the weight? I am on a diet called the Ideal Protein Diet (look it up) (there is also a diet called the New Lifestyle Diet which is almost the exact same thing and is much cheaper) which is basically all your food for you except your veggies and your dinner protein (lean meat). A breakdown of my week is below. I keep a food diary and drink at least 60 oz of water a day and take vitamins! REMEMBER you pee out fat so drink drink drink.

I have not started working out yet because you’re not supposed to for the first 2-3 weeks. So I will slowly add in approximately 30 minutes a day beginning next Monday, Jan. 23^rd.

I did a lot of things WRONG last week that I do not want to do this week. Monday I did PERFECT, Tuesday I did alright I didn’t have my 2 cups of veggies at lunch time, Wednesday I didn’t have my snack, Thursday I didn’t have my snack, Friday I didn’t eat lunch and had almonds, Saturday I didn’t eat my snack and had ranch dressing and Sunday I did HORRIBLE! I totally cheated. I had popcorn, hamburger patty, beans and cheese on my taco….not good; but, ok because it’s ok to have a cheat day as long as you get your ASS in gear for the next week! J

So on to this week!

TTFN!

Happy New Year…..a little lat

Hmm….do I even remember how to blog?!

It’s been a long time (a year to be exact) and I need to get back in the saddle and start this up again for my weight loss and for my family blog.

I started this whole journey June 21, 2010 at a whopping 203.9 lbs….holy fat ass! (excuse the language) Now when I started back up for the ten millionth time Monday, Jan 9^th I weighed in at 194.8 lbs. In 2 years I have only lost 9.1 lbs. wow! I know I can do better than that! Let’s do this!

Yes this is me at 203.9 lbs….I don’t ever want to see myself at that weight EVER AGAIN!

I have a goal and that goal is to weigh 150 lbs. I wish losing weight came easy for me but it doesn’t I LOVE FOOD! J But I have a very strong support system and with the encouragement from them I can do this.

Until Next time!
