Day 32: Getting back into the workout groove

I didn't get to post yesterday since I had a friend over and was busy for the rest of the evening.  I did get a small workout in yesterday.  I did some crunches, leg lifts ect. , then got on the exercise bike for 15 minutes.    Tomorrow morning I think I am going to go out and do my run for C25k, I'm hoping to get to bed early enough that I can get out around 8 or 9 so it's nice and cool.   As for my Weight Watchers I am doing wonderful I even had 4 points to spare yesterday. 

Still day 30: Been a fantastic day!

First I want to thank the Lord for the motivation and strength to keep going.  Today I have not only stuck to my points I went running for the first time in about 8 years...yes, 8 years.  I used that new app I found and though it was still a hard first day, I got through it and I felt so good after I was done.  Yes, the embarrassment of running in front of people was still there, but I got past that for myself...it doesn't matter what other people think,  I am working on myself and I am proud of myself and that is all that matters!  This has been one heck of a commitment and I still have my bad days, but I am thankful that my cough is better and I can start really putting all of me into this.   My husband for the first time really told me that he was proud of me after I got back from running.  It really made me feel good.  I am doing this...the one thing I thought I couldn't do because I didn't have enough willpower or strength.  But "With God all things are possible".  I couldn't do this without his strength egging me on.  Thank you LORD!

Day 30: A month in and 10 lbs lighter

Weekly Weigh-in: 241 (8/6/12)
Starting Weight: 251 (7/9/12)
Weight Lost: 10 lbs

I weighed myself this morning and to my surprise I am now 241 lbs.  I have hit my first small goal to get the first 10 lbs off.  I am so excited and proud of myself for getting this far and I am praying for the strength to do another amazing month.  I know with the lords strength I will be able to do this.  :)

Day 29: The start of week 5

I am happy to say I am still in the game. I have been on weight watchers for 4 weeks and I am still going strong! I have to get myself into exercising, I have been trying to let this cough get better but it is now time to get off my butt and get into gear, the more I work out the more weight I will lose. Even if I only do 15 minutes that's better than not doing anything at all. I really would like to start walking/running every morning. I just downloaded the couch to 5k app and I think I am going to start with that. I pray I can get over the embarrassment and do this for my health.

The Afters: Lift me up

Day 28: 8 lbs down

I weighed myself today and to my surprise I am 243, yes it is still a big number but slowly it is getting smaller and that makes me smile.  I am 8 lbs lighting than when I started 28 days ago.  & I am still going strong.  Andrew has been telling me I need to help him lose weight and stay on track and what he doesn't understand is it has nothing to do with me and all to do with him.  I can't give him the motivation to stick to eating well.  It took me many times of trying and failing to get myself on the right track.  It's all about positivity and looking at it the right way.  You've got to know that you can do it and stop listening to that voice in the back of your head that tells you your going to fail.  

Day 27: Been doing wonderful!

So I know I haven't written since Monday, but I am doing wonderful.  I have more than stuck to the weight watchers ,  I have made many wise compromises and have stuck to the diet more than every.   I know this is a journey and I will never be done with this...it's a life long change.  I haven't lost any more than the 7lbs...since I gained a couple back I have been working to get those back off and now I'm back where I was.  Yesterday I started taking Raspberry Ketones and L-carntine to help aid in what I am already doing.  I wouldn't have even thought of trying this but I know someone who is using them and saw them on Dr. Oz and they are working for her.  Since I have only taken them 2 times  I can't say if they work for me yet but I can tell you I have tasty burps from the raspberry ketones lol.    Other than the new supplements I am taking  I am starting to get into the habit of thinking about everything I put into my body.  Just yesterday I got a free soda and usually I would drink it without a thought but instead I looked at the nutrition and checked the points before I drank it.  I'm proud of myself for not giving up :)  I pray for more great days like I have had this week!
