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!

Week 44

Boy these 260s sure are rough for me. I bounce up and down through them. Went down this week, then back up. Did so good at the beginning of the week, then lost it at the end. Grr. Right now I'm back up at 268, ugg. Just feeling blah right now. Don't know where that motivation went, starting to wobble. Need help! Please feel free to give me a swift kick! I have a few more weeks before the end of my first 48 week goal and I really want to hit 249 and I really want to gain back that momentum. So folks, give me that tough love!

Week 43

Starting week 43 this week, had a rough eating week. Unfortunately the scale really felt it and I went up a few pounds. Did really well on those workouts, only missed that one, and I adjusted the rest days so I actually didn't skip any, so that was really good. The eating really got me this week. Well, I did better yesterday and hope I'm off to a good start for this week. Wanna re-gain some of the ground I lost, mentally. Really want to eat better, but I have to more than want it, I have to do it! So here's to a little less talk and a lot more action this week!!
