Vacation

I went on vacation for 3 weeks. The whole time I am gone I think of ways to stay strong on my diet. Thankfully my cousin is all about low carb and healthy eating, she made some yummy food while I was with her. By the second week I am at my aunts house and I start to think of no this will not be good. I made sure to start walking every night. Then it turned into running. I was running a little over a mile 3 nights a week. once back at my cousins house I started running in the morning and stayed at the mile long runs. I was really nice.

Sad to say I did gain 7lbs back, but after being home 1 week I lost all that 7lbs and I am back to low carb/ calorie counting and the gym.  It was a nice brake but just so glad to be back into my normal weight loss mode.

I did see my uncle who does natural medince, well my liver in enlarged, my kidneyes are not working right and well that effects your thyroid. So I am working hard to detox my body and get everything back to working order.

you lose 100lbs and it seems like when  you're body is no longer fighting obesity then other problems come up. but thankfully I am still way better off now then I was at 330lbs.

I look forward to my next 10lb weight loss.

100lbs lost

I did it. 100lbs gone.

This morning 230lbs. It has been a long time coming. A very long year of working out and counting calories and avoiding foods that are no good for my blood type. I feel better, lighter, and healthier. Hell I am just happy soo happy. I still have 50lbs to go but that is ok, I will get that weight off before my 30th birthday in one year. But this is a huge start. So this Sunday I am having a cake smashing party. My best friend Sarah who has 75lbs and my self are buying cakes and then we will smash them as a way of saying never again will this cake get us down and make us fat again. A big turning point in both of our lives. So ready for the next 50lbs to come off.

10lbs Away!

This morning I hit 240.3lbs finally made it to 90lbs lost. I was 10 lbs short of my goal but I am ok with that. I did a lot in less then a year. My baby Tarik was born May 17, 2011 and I weighed in at 330lbs when I left the hospital. I didn't start dieting right away I waited 3 weeks until I really started getting into trying to lose weight and be healthier.

I started by just walking up and down the stairs more, Tarik needed to be changed I would go up stairs to change him, I needed to use the bathroom I would go upstairs to use the bathroom. I also started watching my calorie intake.

So I am ready to see 239 on the scale. That just means I am one step closer to may goal of 100lbs lost. It is really easy to gain weight but it takes will power to lose weight. Not everyone has the will power it takes to lose weight and to be healthier.

Lets bring on the next step in my weight loss. 100lbs lost is my next step and So excited to see that number, I dreamed about seeing that number. I am getting soo close to it now.

I lost 90lbs!

It took me while but I finally made it to 90lbs lost.

Back on Track

I brought the BodyBugg it is a little monitor you wear on your arm and it counts how many calories you burn a day and how many steps you take in a day. It is a great little monitor. On the website you can also log in what you eat and track calories. Yesterday I ended up burning 2861 calories and I ate 1500 my total burn for the day 2408 calories I also ended up taking 12k in steps. I really love love being able to track all my calories/food  it helps me stay in check and keeps me from cheating. 

Yesterday I had my follow up with my thyroid doctor it is still enlarged so he upped my medicine and now we wait another 6 weeks to either get medicine upped more or talk about maybe getting my thyroid taken out.

I weighed myself this morning and YEAAAA finally 244.8, it is still a high number but really so glad to be seeing that number and not 246 anymore. I have hope on losing that 15lbs before Tarik's first birthday. I just really want to be 200lbs before my 29th birthday in August and I just cant give up even if my body is fighting me on it. 

My pant size is between a 18 and 16 which is much better than that 28 I use to wear, my shirts are a XL or a Large. This morning I was standing in front of the mirror and I was sucking in and lifting my chest and I could see RIB BONES, talk about shocked I thought I didn't have any. Well it has been along ass time since I last seem. I also found my collar bones, wrist bones and when I lay down on my side my side bones. It is the small things that make me happy now. I can run up the stairs in my townhouse and not get tired or out of breath anymore, well that really stopped awhile go. But when we first moved here going up and down the stairs were a killer on my knee's and on me just period. It doesn't you fully until after you past that point and look back and think WOOW I have came a long way. 

Hell I have lost 85lbs in 11 months now. Seeing how all my clothes go from too tight to falling off is great. My husband is complains I don't have any clothes and I tell him, I don't want to get comfortable in a size 18 and stop losing weight, I want to buy that size 16 or 14 stuff my fat ass in them and work my butt off to get them lose and falling off then I want to buy those 12s and do the same. I have a process if i get comfortable with the size I am I will stop losing weight and stay were I am. That is not happening.
