So ashamed

I am so disgusted and pissed off at myself right now. I just stepped on the scale, and I managed to gain 13 pounds this holiday season. I just cannot believe in 2 weeks I could gain that much. I am hoping alot of its water weight, I am bloated from eating so much junk.

So right now, I am 179 pounds. It makes me sick to type that.

I am going back to the gym today, Ive been a slacker in that department too.

When I woke up this morning, it was like a switch flipped in my brain, and Im back to being motivated again. I am starting a "Biggest Loser Challenge" with some friends on the 5th, and that helps motivate me as well.

Lets hope for a big loss this week!

Holidays

Well, Its the holidays, and so far I have managed to keep losing weight.

I am now sitting at 166 pounds. I am very proud of how far I have come in just 3 months! I hope to lose 2 more pounds this week, although I dont think its going to happen because even though Im still working out, Ive had a couple christmas cookies, and some chocolate LOL and I had pizza on Saturday.

The holidays are so tempting its such a hard time to lose weight. I hope to get through to New years at least maintaining my loss. I am going to my moms this week to help her bake her cookies...yeah we all know Im gonna eat some. LOL PLUS Im making cookies tonight, and fudge! Oh well its only Christmas once a year.

One good thing is that I asked for a heart rate monitor watch for Christmas! Its for people that are serious about fitness and it was not cheap! So if I dont go to the gym, my husband would kill me LOL

I know I need to post pics again!!!! It has been 3 months today.

Update

Im still here!!!

I am down to 168.4 as of yesterday. I was very surprised, since Thanksgiving and the day after I was not a good girl!!!!

I am still lifting 4 days per week, and Ive started doing HIIT for cardio. If you dont know what that is, its High Intensity Interval Training. Its a BITCH. I run 2.5 miles on the track at the gym, but it is .1 mile SPRINT and then .1 mile walk. I swear Im half dead by the end! Its much harder than just jogging 2.5 miles.

My husband told me the other day, Im getting so skinny! I was excited.

I am well on my way to my goal!!!

I need to keep it controlled at Christmas time. I tend to eat like crap the whole week before!!! And Im on vacation, so it will be even worse. AND Im going to my moms to BAKE of all things. She asked me to help her with her Christmas baking. YIKES!!!! I guess as long as I get back on the horse, Ill be ok.

Pictures

I cant believe its been a month already. So embarrassing!

Ive been busy!!!

WOWZERS!!!! Ive been a busy girl lately, and I have not had much time to get here and post! I also dont think anyone is reading this stupid thing anyway!

I have been hanging in there, I lost 2.4 pounds last week. That puts me at 23 pounds lost! This week I had a very naughty day on Saturday. I ate grilled cheese, some chocolate, and I went to TGIF's and had Cajun Shrimp and Chicken pasta before my Nine Inch Nails concert!!!! Oh well though, I need to keep my sanity!!!! Oh yeah, I had some nacho's and a beer at the concert too LOL

I just realized its time for me to post progress pics again. So Ill do that soon!

Ive been running on the treadmill at the gym, for 30-40 minutes. Im slowly trying to increase my speed. And Im still lifting weights 4 times a week too.

been good!

I am doing good, havent cheated yet this week!

Tomorrow Im going to a movie with the kids, gonna bring my own popcorn that I can eat.

I am really proud of myself, today I did 30 minutes on the treadmill without walking!!!!!

frustrated

I was so frustrated with my scale yesterday morning I just wanted to bash it with a hammer and throw it outside. I once again only lost 0.4 pounds.

I know I was naughty on wednesday when I ate all that candy and then Friday I had some too. That prob has something to do with it. I also *hope* I am gaining muscle mass. I am seeing a difference in the way I look which is good, I know. I need to stop focusing on the scale so much I guess.

I am very proud of my progress in the weight room!! I am now using 20# weights for dumbell curls, and all of my shoulder excersizes. I also use them with my dumbell bench press. I am using 25# for my dumbell back rows, and overhead triceps raise. I squat 67 pounds 10 times comfortably. I would guess my max to be around 90-100 pounds.

So progress! But I swear Im gonna be really good this week and not cheat at all. Well see what happens!
