December 28th, 2011

Alright so I weighed in at 199 so I was down 2lbs over the holidays not great but not bad either...I went down over the holidays even with my cheat of turnip and table spoon of stuffing..LOL.

Yesterday Andrew was eating ketchup chips in front of me...I really wanted one but I resisted.

Well I am 49lbs away from 150 (maybe my goal) and 69 away from 130 (maybe I will pick it somewhere in between).  I have almost been on the diet for 2 months.  I will let you know the final total for December on Friday.

December 27th, 2011

Okay so I have my after Christmas weigh in tomorrow, and well I cheated but I mean I cheated with Turnip and a table spoon of stuffing....at least it wasn't with chocolate or anything else sweet.

Who would have ever though that a cheat could be turnip...LOL.  But I LOVE turnip and so I had to have some.

I just hope I don't throw off the scale too much I will let you know tomorrow.

December 23, 2011

Well it is getting harder and harder to resist all the yummy Christmas Treats.  I bought a mini gingerbread cupcake (it came in a bunch of cupcakes I bought for present opening with friends tonight) and immediately placed it in the freezer for later.  I really wanted to eat it - LIKE REALLY, but I have a goal I am trying to get to on Wednesday so I cannot cheat.

I weighed in today and I was 201.8.  My goal is 199 by Wednesday (it is a goal they set for you).  I hope to get down to that as it would be 35lbs down since November 1st.

But Christmas really is not the best time to try to lose weight - apparently most people gain 3-5lbs over the holidays so I am working against the grain here.

But as I have said before I will be cheating at Tristan's first birthday - I just have to its my little mans birthday.

December 18, 2011

SO lets start off with the fact that I went to a birthday party with pizza, dips and other yummy food and I got to eat vegetables (ones without dip even...ARG).  There was also ICE CREAM CAKE.

Second I went to the Olive Garden with friends yesterday and as the bread and salad and all the yummy pasta entrees came, I got to eat a plain chicken breast and broccoli.  I was not impressed LOL.

All the yummy food at the table...I had to distract myself by playing with a 20 month old...LOL.

I weighed in today and I guess my choices were a good one as I was down another 2lbs since Friday.  I am down to 203.  I am 10lbs away from my pre-baby weight and right at where I was the first time I went on a diet for my wedding.  I can fit into 2 pairs of regular jeans, 1 of which was pre baby (although they are a little tight in the tummy but hey I can do them up so in my books they fit...LOL).  Still in a couple pairs of maternity pants but not tops so I am moving up in the world.

December 16, 2011

So I have been having a very hard time of it.  Partially because my hubby keeps eating things I cannot (like last night Chicken fingers and onion rings) and partially because the weight was not going down at the same rate as it was...but I had not cheated.

Today I weighed in at 205 so 29lbs down and my waist measurements were down 1 1/2 inches and my hips were down 1 inch.

Now don't get me wrong 29lbs down is great and I know it hasn't been that long, only 6 weeks but considering what  I cannot eat I want the weight to come off quickly I mean that is why I am doing this particular diet.

In order to keep the incentive going I just bought (as my Christmas present from my hubby who told me to get something) a new lululemon sweater and top that doesn't fit yet but should in about 15lbs.  That should keep me going...I HOPE.

December 13, 2011

So I went in yesterday and I had to change the location of the shots...TOO many bruises.

I weighed in at 207 so I was down one..I will admit that I cheated on the week-end.  We were at a friends ugly sweater party and I had 1 jalapeno stuffed with cream cheese...I LOVE THEM but I did take off the bacon so I cheated but not really.

I tried on my pre-baby jeans (which are a large size but still didn't fit after baby) and they fit...well I can do them up they are very tight and create that lovely muffin top but HEY at least I did then up :)

December 9, 2011

SO I weighed in today and I am 208 so that is down another pound.  The only think stopping me from eating a chip or 2 (or 100 LOL) that are currently in my cupboard (as hubby likes to tell me he still needs snacks) is the fact that the numbers are still going down.  By my calculations I should hit 198(ish) by the end of the month which is just shy of the 20lbs that I lost for the month of November.  I did hope to lose another 20in December but I guess I will take what I can get.

December 7, 2010

Well I am fully entrenched in this diet, but let me tell you I would really like to eat some potatoes even...LOL.

I weighed in and I was 209 so I have gone down again...seems to be a bit slower than before...OH well I just have to stick this out.  I cannot believe that I have not cheated yet...maybe it is knowing that if I do I lose an entire week and well this diet is too expensive to lose an entire week...LOL.

December 5, 2010

Weighed in today - I am down 24lbs to 210.

This is good, but does it mean I don't want to just eat some chips or have a cupcake...NO...will I...HOPE NOT...No no I WILL NOT.  Agh I am not hungry just wishing I could be like all those skinny girls you see who eat like my Hubby and don't gain a pound...why did I not get a metabolism like that.

Festivities have Started

Well it is getting a little hard to not eat what everyone else is eating as the holidays have started.

I weighed in at 212.6 so it is going down and this is the only reason I have survived.  We went to a Bull Dogs game and everyone else had chocolate and candy as snacks and I had an Apple.  Yes an Apple it was not that exciting.

What does not help...I made diner for my hubby and what did he want chicken balls and onion rings so my house smells like ONION RINGS and how much did I want one...ALOT and what did my hubby say or some on just have a bite...ARG.

1 weigh in before the 4 month Mark

Well I had my last weight in before the 1 month mark - I was down to 213.2 - WHOOT that means I have achieved my gal of 20lbs in a month I am sooo happy.  I am actually only 9lbs away from my heaviest of 204 (before baby).

It has been a VERY tough week, last night was my Son's baptism which means there was lots of food and very YUMMY cake...did I eat any...NO.  Do I wish I had....yes and no, I mean I was happy to hit my goal of 20lbs lost but all the food looked soooooo good...LOL.

I will however have a piece of cake for Tristan's birthday there is just no way around that, I want to celebrate with my son.

almost 4 weeks

Well next Wednesday is 4 weeks.  I weighed in today at 215, so that is 19lbs down...WHOOT.

Also my measurements when we started were 43 waist (OMG) and 49 1/2 (OMG) .  Today I was measured again and my waist was 39 1/2 and hips 48 so that is a 6inches gone in total...FANTASTIC.

Is it hard...Oh yes and I am sure it will be even harder in a few weeks with all the holiday parties...but I am determined to lose this weight.  I am hoping to be back down to 190 by the end of December which was my pre-baby weight still not a nice number but better then after baby weight of 23.

Wish me LUCK

Monday November 21, 2010

SO I went for my weigh in and I am down to 217.6 - so almost 2lbs down.  We went to dinner last night at my grandma's and I had cooked my dinner and packed some fruit to take with me to eat while everyone else had some yummy pot roast and mash potatoes.  AND what did I do....I left it all home...yep left it at home.

Lets be clear I remembered all of Tristan's food, toys and stuff but did I remember anything of mine..NOPE.  So I had a couple Brussels sprouts while everyone else ate....I think that might have been one of the hardest days thus far.

Some how I made it and got to eat my dinner at 8:45 when we got home...let me tell you I was HUNGRY.  LOL

Doctor visit today

Well I met with the doctor today and did she know why I had hives...NOPE...ARGGGG.

She did tell me however that I am not exercising enough, well let me tell you has she ever had to carry a 17lbs baby around everywhere, up the stairs and then down and then up....cause that to me is a lot of work...LOL...she tells me no that doesn't count...BITE ME...lol.

I weighed in at 219.4.  My weight loss as slowed slightly...could be that time of the month.

Also they say well you must have sooooo much more energy...nope I have a 9 month old that doesn't sleep through the night I am ALWAYS tired. LOL

2 Week weigh in

Well I hit the goal they set for me but missed my goal by .2lbs DARN IT.

I weighed in at 220.2 so that is 13.8 (almost my 14lbs).  The goal they set was 227-224 so I hit that at least.  I am on my way to 20lbs a month.  I have 2 weeks to go and 6lbs to go to hit my goal.

I am not going to lie this is a strict diet and oh course every time my hubby eats pizza or McDonald's I just want to grad a slice or a fry.  So far I have resisted.

I think the worst part is my favorite Starbucks is a gingerbread latte which I cannot have - why did I decided this was a good idea to do over Christmas????

I also have Tristan's baptism and a baby shower I need to get through - then the biggest challenge...CHRISTMAS.

Two week weight this Wednesday

So it is 2 days before my 2 week weigh in and I weighed in at 221 this morning.  WHOOT - 13lbs down. 

The only problem...I have broken out in hives...yep hives and they are itchy.  I spoke to the nurse this morning (a new one and one I don't really like), hives she said really well those don't look like hives she says...umm let me tell you they are HIVES.

I have an appointment with the doctor on Friday so I will speak with the doctor.  If they stay the way they are now I can deal, but if they get worse I am not sure what I am going to do.

It will be 2 weeks this Wednesday and the gold they set was 224-227 - well I have passed that I am would love to see 219 which would be 15lbs down, but will be happy with 220 which will equal 14lbs in  2 weeks.

Friday November 11, 2011

I went for my weigh in today and I am 223.6 - so that is 10.4lbs down (in 10 days).  WHOOT.

Biggest challenge - walking into Fortinos today and smelling and seeing all the yummy food...LOL.

I am going to the US today (until tomorrow) for some shopping for Tristan and well this is going to be hard.  As I am sure you know the U.S. is not exactly now for healthy food, I mean the last time I was there was all ate Tacos from Taco Bell...LOL.

I am thinking I can do this - I know I can. 

I will update next on Monday after weigh in :)

Have a great week-end

Tomorrow is another weight in

So today I wanted my hubby to come shopping with me, but he was hungry so I had to promise him Mcdonalds - MY GOD did that stuff smell good.  I did not have a fry not a one but that was the hardest thing EVER.

I weight in again tomorow and I am hoping for 224 which would be 10lbs in less then 2 weeks.  This would allow me to keep on track for my ultimate goal of losing 80-100lbs in about 4-5 months.

I hope to start the month of April a new person.  But we shall see.

Wednesdat Nov 9, 2011

Alright I went to the docs today and I weighed in at 225, so that is 9lbs down in a week and a day this is great my 2 weeks goal that they set was 224-227 so I have already surpassed the one with another week to go.  I am hope to lose about 20lbs a month (this would set me on track for 5 months before all the excess weight is gone). 

I am sitting here wondering why I didn't do this before, cause Tristan is 9 months and I could already have been at my goal weight.

Oh well I  cannot think like that - I will just go mad.

What I cannot stop thinking about is - can I have cake at Tristan's Birthday party...well I asked and no not really but if you do you do.  SO I might have a sliver I mean it is the kids first birthday.

First Full Week

Alright so I went in for my weight in today and well the scale said 227 - so that is GREAT I am down 7lbs WHOOT.

I am not going to say it has ben easy - cause it has not. I was hungry yesterday like you would not believe.  Not to mention my child has decided to wake up every hour so I notice the hunger more when I am standing over him at 3am LOL.

I am having no crazy dizzy spells - apparently some people have. 

Well this is the start of another week so I am hoping to get down to 224 by friday - that would be 10lbs in 2 weeks for an ultimate goal of 214 by the end of the month.

1 good thing I bought a few pairs of pants in different sizes from VV and I am wearing a pair - Yeppers no maternity pants today LOL.

First Day

Alright so on Tuesday November 1st I walked into a Dr. Bernsteins and signed myself up...Yep that's right the diet with the shots.  Now I don't like shots, not one bit but I guess I like being not fat even more.

So I walked in at 234, now kep in mind I just had a baby...well just is a bit of a stretch as Tristan just turned 9 months.  I was not that skinny to begin with then Tristan (who is the love of my life) came along and craved Mcdonalds (was it him or me...well we will go with him).

So when it was all said and done I had gained 60lbs with only 1 baby.

Lets just say Tristan was born at only 6lbs so I am not sure what the other 54lbs was all about (maybe that damn Mcdonalds.)

So I signed up and I hope to lose 80-100lbs (the baby weight and then all the extra).

I decided to blog about it, well because I have never blogged and because I hope this will keep me accountable..

So on my weight in (there are 3 a week), on friday I was 231 so that is 3lbs down, WHOOT only like 97 more to go.

My next weight in is Monday so I wil keep you posted.
