Not the best day!

Well, I said I would start blogging everyday with a full report of my diet day. Today was not the best day. It would have gone much better, but my daddy took me out for my birthday tonight. Without further delay, here is my first full report.....

• Calories - about 1500 :(    Chili's hurt me tonight!!! (but it sure was good)
• Water - 50 ounces (that is pretty good for me)
• Exercise - Walked 3 miles, Climbed stairs for 10 minutes

Hoping for a better day tomorrow!

Time to be Honest

Honestly, I haven't done very well the past few days. :( I don't know why. Just can't seem to stop eating. My Biggest Loser competitors will be happy to read this I am sure. I have got to get back on track. I have worked too hard to get where I am. I can't stop now. I want to reach my goal by summer. I hung up my "dream jeans" where I can see them. I am going to try a couple more things to stay on track. I am going to put a paper on the fridge where I have to write down everything I eat every day and amount of calories. Another biggie...I AM going to start drinking water!!!! Also, I am going to try my best to blog EVERYDAY!!! I am going to report the amount of calories I eat, how many cups of water I drink, and how much I exercise. Hopefully by adding these things to my routine I can get back on track and FINALLY get to my goal!!! I am not giving up!

My "Dream Jeans" :)

First, I would like to thank my cousin and fellow weight loss blogger, Heather, for the idea of "dream jeans". You can follow her weight loss blog here, http://cannonfamilystories.blogspot.com/2012/01/dream-jeans.html?spref=fb. So, I have this pair of jeans I bought off Ebay about 2 1/2 years ago with every intention of being able to wear them when I got them. But obviously, with it being Ebay I couldn't try them on before I bought them. Of course, when I got them they were too tight. :( So my goal was to get in them. I NEVER did!!! Life threw me a curve ball and I put on a whole lot of weight. The jeans have been just hanging in my closet laughing at me ever since. After reading Heather's blog tonight about her "dream jeans" I decided to pull mine out and try them on, and GUESS WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

No, they didn't fit. (Gotcha, didn't I? hehehe) They are still laughing at me. So now they are going to hang where I will see them everyday and one day soon I will be the one who is laughing. :) I have also posted a picture of Heather and I taken a few days after Christmas. I will post one of us together when we both get in our "dream jeans". Love ya Heather....We got this. :)

Going good

Just wanted to update on the Biggest Loser. It is going great. I am totally going to win it this year. :) Sorry to all my competitors. LOL I am going to get to my goal weight by summer and I am going to post a pic of me in a bathing suit looking much better than my first and truly embarrassing picture on this blog. I also wanted to give a shout out to two of my most faithful readers. Hey Kristen and Belle! Thanks for reading and cheering me on! :)

Biggest Loser

I am so excited about starting the Biggest Loser at church yesterday. Competition drives me!! I am hoping it will keep me motivated to get off this last 35 pounds. I realize today is Monday and I should be posting a weigh in, but because I am in the competition I have decided not to post my weight loss until the final weigh in. I wouldn't want to give my competitors any idea about how I am doing. ;) However, I will be posting information about my exercise and how my diet is going. I am happy to say that I walked 6 miles yesterday. I felt GREAT!! Today, I played dodge ball and basketball with the boys for an hour and 30 min. That was fun, except the headache I have from getting hit in the head with the dodge ball. I love that exercise can be fun and I can include my kids in it as well. One of the reasons I am doing this is to show them how important it is to be healthy and exercise. We are loving the Dance Central game on the XBox Kinect. It is a sight to see (LOL), but so much fun!!

Weigh In #20

The past four weeks I really haven't tried to lose any weight. I haven't exercise or dieted. This is my first week to really get back to work after Christmas. I only lost one pound since my last weigh in, but to me this is a success. I am sure I put a few pounds on during the Christmas holiday. This brings my grand total weight loss to 46 pounds. I am looking forward to Biggest Loser starting Sunday. I know it will help motivate me to get off this last 34 pounds. With today being the National Championship game, I also want to give a big ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

I'm Back!!! :)

Okay, so I took a bit of a break from my diet over the holidays. I didn't want to worry about losing weight during Christmas. It is a new year now, which means it is time to finish what I started in July. I have 35 more pounds to get off. I plan on looking good or should I say FaBuLoUs in a bathing suit this summer. :) I will NOT look like I did when I started this journey ever again!!! So it is back to it today. Also, I am excited about starting Biggest Loser at church in a few weeks. I love competition. :) To all my competitors out there, good luck and get ready to LOSE!! :) Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year. I plan on making 2012 the best year of my life!!!!! :)
