Happy 2013

Well, it is now the new year, and with new years come fresh starts! I must say though, 2012 ended wonderfully. One of my best friends got married!

In other news, I am now 10 days into successfully tracking my food. Not eating PERFECTLY mind you, but a lot better than I was. Also, I have lost just under a pound and a half this week. I’ll take it!

So, besides losing weight, I have also created a bucket list. My goal is to get 100 items (which is a lot harder than it sounds). Right now I have nearly 60 I believe. You can see what I have on my list here.

It has been SO MUCH FUN creating one, and hopefully I remember to post when I have accomplished something off of the list. ETA on first cross off? Well, I have tickets to see Mother Monster herself on Jan 23!!! PUT YO PAAWWZZ UP!

Inspiration – Clothes

One thing that always keeps me inspired. Clothes. Pinterest is the ultimate enabler. When I lose enough weight to wear clothes from Modcloth, I will never have money again, and I know this.

Getting Back on the Saddle

im_back

Well, my last post was August 14, and today is now December 11. Needless to say (but, I’ll say it anyways), that I had done the inevitable. I had pretty much given up on this blog and on WW. Well, I am happy to report, that within the last few months, my roller coaster dieting and exercise has landed me here. At 222 lbs, which is realistically only 1 pound weight gain since my best loss. So, I am still down 14 pounds, which is a great place to “start over.”

I have decided to return back to Weight Watchers. I started doing Atkins (I know, I know), knowing full well the harm it could do, and rationalizing it with, “well, it’s also harmful to be overweight, so I’ll take my chances.” I actually thrive on Atkins. My last big weight loss was my last quarter in college, and I it was 20 lbs. So, after having somewhat of a plateau with WW, I decided to stop blogging, so I wouldn’t be judged, and go back to Atkins.

Well, I had a lovely chat with my doctor the other day, and she informed me that I had high cholesterol, something I had never had before. Well, I decided that my diet of bacon and red meat, while effective in losing weight, had to go.

So, here I am! Back to blogging and WW. Merry Christmas.

A Better Day

Alright, well today is a better day. A fresh start. I did well yesterday as well. I posted in this blog, which is quite a feat these days it seems, and I stayed within 5+ of my daily goal. I went over, but not to the level that I usually do.

Stepping on the scale this morning, I was already 3 lbs lighter, but I have a feeling that had to do with my woman-ness approaching and also my body releasing ALL the the beer I drank this weekend.

(This is what I looked like. Yes, i know…)

Well, I am ready to keep this up. Lets see how I do :)

Derailing

Derailing. I think this is the word that describes it the best. I am spiraling out of control. Just weighed in this morning with a 7 POUND WEIGHT GAIN. I know this is my fault. I went to the lake this weekend and binged on beer and chips and god knows what else. I’m not sure what else to say about that. I know what I did wrong, I know what i need to do, I just need to do it…

Here is to not having a breakdown? Ya, sure that’s it….
Hopefully I have a more positive post in the future.
