I Bleed BLUE!

I LOVE the NY Giants. Always have, Always will. I call them my Home-Home team because I was born and raised in NJ where I learned from my older brother that we are Giants fans! I LOVE the NY Rangers. Always have, Always will. I learned that from my older brother too! I also believe in supporting your home team which is why I LOVE the Indianapolis Colts! Always will! I did NOT learn that from my brother! Maybe I just love the Manning Brothers! I once said that I hated Sundays and he replied with, "I would hate Sundays too if I was a Colts Fan!" Haha! They are my Home team! Luckily for me they only play each other once in a BLUE moon! I Love Blue!

So, way to go to my Home-Home team, the NY GIANTS, for winning the 2012 Super Bowl and bringing home the trophy....in my Indianapolis Colts Stadium!!!

No Excuses-First Day

My nose won't quit running. My throat is raw. Tomorrow I imagine I will have a cough to go with it. No Excuses. I rode my hour today. I did it in 4 15 minute increments. I am okay with this. I know that once time goes forward, I will be able to do more at a time.

Cha-Ching...for someone!

With a little bit of resistance from the hubby, it's back in the house. The Deal: I pay him $1 for every day that I don't ride it for an hour. On the other hand, he pays me $1 for every day that I do!

I'm here!

I haven't fallen off the earth. I am still here. Still plugging along. I slacked off some over the holidays but I am back on track. I am determined.

New Old Clothes

I am wearing a pair of jeans that hasn't buttoned in a very long while and a shirt that was too tight for a very long while. Determination is paying off and good things are happening!

15 lbs

The Biggest Loser was on tonight and the people lost amazing amounts this week. 10-15 lbs each! How excellent for them! We were watching and here's how the quick conversation went:

Me: I would kill someone to lose 15 lbs in one week.
Hubby: I don't think God would like that.
Me: Yeah, you're probably right.

What is weird is that my hubby doesn't talk about God. He doesn't go to Church with us. I'll be honest when I say that I'm not even sure he believes in God. I always say to our daughter, what would Jesus think of that? Would Jesus like you doing that? Maybe we are rubbing off on him! Or maybe he was making fun of me. Either way, God came out of his mouth!

So...

Trying again. Weigh in tomorrow. I want to say this is finally it. I hate to kid myself though! Two weekends ago was my family reunion. It was fantastic! 7 days ago, the pictures started appearing on Facebook! NOT Fantastic! LOL 7 days ago, I saw one of the worst pictures of myself EVER and I was mortified. TRULY MORTIFIED. It's me. HowWHY did I let this happen to me? Why have I chosen to be on constant diets for the last 11 years. Yes, 11 YEARS. That is A LONG TIME to be trying failing to lose weight! UN-BE-LIEVABLE! So, it's been 7 days. My goal for today is to make it 8 days. Photobucket is not working for me right now. I will share the picture at a later time.

-SeVeN-

7 days ago I joined Weight Watchers.

7 days ago I thought to myself, "here I go again. Will it work? Will I fail yet again? I don't know but I guess I will try."

I have successfully been on Weight Watchers for 7 days. 

One Full Week!

Weigh In Day

I've always made Monday my weigh in days. Not sure why. I guess because it's the start of a new week. Monday weigh ins are stressful for me. Getting through the weekend is tough and if I go off plan or feel like I've messed up I hate going into Monday. In order to have inner peace and sanity and to keep a positive attitude, I have decided to change my weigh in day to Friday. I think this will definitely be better for me to keep going.

Kinda Personal

I know this is kinda personal but I bought some new bras today. Size 40B. They replaced identical bras in size 42C.

That's All!

:)

A week later

So, here we are a week later than THE DAY! Today was weigh in day. 6 lbs down. I'm happy about it but not excited about it yet because as you can see by my week by week on the side, I go up and down and up and down. Once I get to 199, which is my first goal, THEN I will be excited!  As usual, I haven't really told anyone what I'm doing. My husband is aware but not how much I am actually trying. A girl at work is aware, but I'm sure she thinks that I have given up already. My first goal is 199 which is 28 lbs but I REALLY just want someone to notice.

It's Your Choice...

Sacrifice or Regret-It's your choice.

Another Day

Here we are at day 60 1 Is it day 61 or is it day 1 all over again? I don't know. So in the end of the challenge it's looking like out of all the people that started, it ended pretty much with 3 people actually finishing. I came in last place of those 3. #1 and #2 had their own little competition going on as well between the two of them. They are IRL friends and they kept each other motivated and challenged throughout the whole process. They probably also had support at home. My IRL people don't get it. They don't get it so much that I don't tell people what I am doing anymore. I think that helps me inside my head, but it also hurts my progress sometimes. It's so hard. I'm not having a pity party. I am just trying to figure out what kind of process and help gets you further in the game. Do you need people behind you helping or can you do it all on your own? Just a thought to ponder! Now, I am off to work. Sometimes I walk a lot at work. Today I am going to put on my pedometer for fun and just see what it tells me because I am curious sometimes just how many steps I take at work!  Tonight Natalie has dance but my plan is to ride my bike afterward. I will TRY to accomplish that goal.

60 days

Well the BSBWL challenge is officially over and I did not win. I am not giving up though. I have suddenly had a new burst of desire. I know, I say it all the time. What's one more time right?!

Dissapointment and Sadness

Disappointment
Weighing in is so disappointing sometimes.  Yesterday was the half way point of the challenge. The end of the teams and the beginning of the singles. My team came in third. :( I didn't lose anything last week. :( :(  I focused myself and ate on plan today but there are 4 weeks left and I feel like giving up and throwing in the towel. I'm starting to wonder if I am always supposed to look like I do.

Sadness
I am so sad. I feel like it's so unfair that I can't eat what I like. I'm not even talking about junk food. I'm talking fruits and such. I feel like there is no possible way that I can lose weight if I am not on a strict low carb way of eating.

BSBWL Challenge-Day -Weigh In Day!

Welcome back to another BSBWL weigh in day! This week I lost 3.6 lbs. If you remember back to last week you'll remember that I gained 3.6 on the last weigh in day! So I guess the past two weeks washed each other out! lol Oh well, still a loss and hopefully this next week will not bring on another gain! I just have to stay focused and ahead of the game. I can do it! I SO want to get to 199 by the end of the challenge. We are just finishing week 3. 5 weeks to go.
