48 weeks complete and a total of 44 pounds lost! That brings me to 259. Not quite my goal, but to be in the 250s is AMAZING! I am very excited to have lost the weight I have, and to be feeling more energetic! I still have more to go, but I am feeling positive. I want to continue for 22 more weeks and see how well I can do. I would love to be out of the 200s, but if I can meet my 2nd & 3rd (of 7) weight goals that would put me down under 225.
Unfortunately I didn't make my goal to earn the money, but I am going to try again! I will shoot for being 225 by Lucas' birthday week. So I will have had a total of 70 weeks and 78 pounds lost. I will try for that. That is a pretty reasonable goal, just a bit more than 1 pound a week.
I'm doing pretty well with my eating and exercise and that's going well for me. Onward and upward to keep pushing forward!
Thank you all for your help these past 48 weeks, I'm still going strong and not giving up! I haven't been this "skinny" in over 2 years, what a blessing!

Starting the "last week" 48!!
I finally sucked it up, ate healthy and lost.... (drum-roll please...)....9 pounds this week! AAHHH!! Totally amazing, super excited, can't believe 9 pounds! Wooh! So that brings me to 260 this morning making a total of 43 pounds lost altogether.
So how did I do it? I ate healthy (was never below 1100 calories and usually closer to 1400), I got the right macros (ratio of proteins, carbs, and fat) and I never skipped a workout! I am just so totally excited. I really worked hard to take care of myself this week and I feel so good!
So since this is my "last" week of my original goal, I have been thinking about making a new goal. I know that I'm not on track to reach the ultimate end goal of having lost all the weight I need to, but I have made really good progress and would like to continue my blog and maybe change some things up. Like, I was wanting to maybe post more recipes, things I am doing to lose weight, etc.
So the first goal was until Brycen's Birthday, and I think I will extend my goal out to Lucas' Birthday which will bring it to a total of 70 weeks, which is 32 more weeks and I am 32. Anyway, just a cute little idea of the next goal. I would like to be under 200lbs by then. I am on the right track to make that goal, I just have to keep working hard and doing what I need to!
In the challenge group I am a part of, one of the coaches said that the way to be fit and healthy is in doing those little things everyday. It's not spending 8 hours a day at the gym or going on a crash diet. It's working out an hour a day and properly fueling your body with the nutrition it needs. The changes at first can be difficult, but the process is just one day, one workout, one meal at a time. And really the process is very simple, and rewarding. It's the change in ourselves that is the hardest, but it's starting to come for me, and I am so happy to let go of the old and embrace the new!
So for next week, let's say goodbye to the 260s shall we? I'd really love to be in the 250s at least, I may not make the 249 like I had wanted, but I want to be as close to it as possible!
Thanks all for your help this year, you all have been such a great support to me!

Week 46: Wrong Way!
Oh boy. It's really hard to blog today. My weight went the wrong way, back up to 270. This past month has been somewhat of a roller-coaster for me. I keep wanting to pull out of it but get stuck again. Well, I do have a plan to make some changes, hopefully this week I can see them happening:
1) I stocked the fridge full of veggies.
2) I got my Vanilla Shakeology in the mail to help with cravings and nutrition.
3) This is my last week of Les Mills Pump, then I start it again.
4) Next Sunday I weigh in and start a new 90 day challenge group.
Need to stop the roller-coaster and get off. Feeling determined to pull out of the rut. This has happened before, but it doesn't have to tear me down. 3 weeks left to reach my goal, I've made it harder, but not impossible! School starts this week for Brycen, and my life gets busier too, really wanna see those changes, but they don't happen unless I DO IT!
So, saying goodbye to the roller-coaster and hello to a new week, fresh start! The good news is that even when it's been hard to post that I haven't done well, I have still been posting every week, I stuck to my word on that and I'm really happy, even though it's rough to report the "bad news". Keep trying and don't quit, that's where I'm at right now!
If you have great inspirational quotes/sayings, I'd love to hear them! I'm gonna post some around the house this week!
-Thanks!

Week 45: Back on Track!
44 complete weeks, and 2 pounds lost this week, bringing me back down to the 266. Still need to lose 17 pounds to make my goal! My good pal, Stephanie, has been such an inspiration helping me to succeed this week. Though it wasn't the number I was hoping for, I'm glad that I got back going in the right direction. Changing my eating habits still seems to be the struggle this week. Three more weeks left until I reach my first goal of 48 weeks, really want those 17 pounds.
So week 48 will begin on September 8th and I will do my "final" full 48 week weigh in on September 15th, 5 days before Brycen's Birthday. I will keep going with my "week count" to set another goal, I'll post more about that later. So it gives me a full 4 more weeks- 28 days to get to my goal.
-As I posted on my blog, making a "prize" for reaching my goal I think will be good. If I am under 260 I think I should get a prize of $25 and if I reach my goal of 249 or less I get the full $50. Also thinking of a fun "exercise" or "health" prize, any ideas?
Thanks Everyone! Especially Stephanie! You are amazing!
