Progress Pictures

As promised, I said when I reach 193lbs. I would provide some pictures.  So here is my progress so far.  These are not really great pictures, but I can see a difference in my face and body.  I will take better pictures as I go along.
Here are me and my girls on December 31, 2008.  [...]

Two A Days

Okay so I wanted to share this tip I got on the forums.  It’s the idea of working out two times a day.  (I know, its hard enough to work out once a day!) But, seriously, this works.  Even if it is small amounts of exercise, if you break it up so that you do [...]

Not Much to Say

I’m not feeling so chatty so I’ll just let you all know that my weigh in was at 193.2 lbs which brings me to almost 20 pounds.  You’d think I should be more excited.. finally breaking the stall.. getting to a mini goal.. but no.. I feel like this is two weeks overdue.

Back on Track

Funny thing about me is that one thing that keeps me very motivated is ANGER.  Right when I had started this diet, I had a fight with my sister.. I was so mad at her it made me work harder.. “I’ll show her that I can lose weight.”  It’s funny because she’d only be happy [...]

So I was thinking I really really need to step up the exercise.. if you look at my exercise log, you can see the activity there was getting kinda sparse. Part of my problem is that I was really getting sick of the 30 Day Shred. It’s great an all and I had [...]

Aquafit

So I bit the bullet last week and joined an Aquafit class. I don’t know why, but I am totally paranoid about hurting my knees running so I decided that I would go for the Aquafit class so I can still exercise without the worry of killing my knees. I think once I [...]

194.0

Still.. I just wanted to see the lovely 193 number again.. it just refuses to come. I need to work out harder.. I think I’m getting sick of the 30 Day Shred and need to find something new.  I should be thankful that I lost 0.4lbs, because yesterday was Yumna’s birthday and we had cake, [...]

Rants and Raves

Okay, so based on some of the suggestions from the 3FC forums I went low fat food shopping.  I thought I would review some of the low fat foods I’ve tried.. sort of a foot critic for low fat food stuff.
Let me start off with the question: Why is low fat food so damn expensive?  [...]
