3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

I have majorly neglected this journal. See...this is why I would never make it as a blogger! It's not that I forget about coming on here to post..I just say that I will do it before bed and well... FAIL! Sorry not to keep you updated jeez! I suck.

So, DH and I did well. It was challenging through the holiday. My stomach / waist are looking great! Me legs NEED WORK! Tons of it. As a matter of fact...

I have cottage cheese on sale if anyone is interested.

2 tubs for $1.00 :D

Don't everyone come rushing me at once! I've got plenty to go around. :rofl:

By the way...HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Now let's plan how to conquer these 150's! 159 to 149 is a b****! Why, because I stayed in the 150s for a lonnnng time in my life. My body likes it there. I don't mind it myself but my clothes do fit way better when I am in the LOWER 150's. But I feel best between 145 and 150. But boyyyyy does it take a lot Of effort to maintain (for me).

So what do I have up my sleeve for the new year ? Well first I would like to start getting a bunch of green smoothies and juices in my diet. I normally wait until spring and do a juice feast because the produce is so lovely but I really want to do one now because I will be trying to conceive by spring and I just want to be giving my body Tons of nutrients NOW. I want to try my best to put my body in a great place before getting pregnant. The healthier the better.

Another thing before I go and start working. I was thinking about my marriage with the scale. I love that thing even tho it doesn't like me sometimes. I just noticed that over the past month I could literally look in the mirror and see results and could get on the scale, see a sorry number and would swear I could no longer see the SAME results that I just saw 30 seconds prior. It's the friggin number game! It's wicked! Lol. Everyone knows by now that the scale should not be your only way of measuring yada yada yada but still sometimes you still want that NUMBER validation too.

Anyway, am I throwing out my scale? Heckkkkk no! I don't believe in divorce, but I need to tweak our relationship a little. LOL. I Just don't like how I will literally take away my own compliments to myself if I get on there and see a higher number. I know that's simply crazy. I've been in this game long enough to know better, but still..

So what will I do? Well I have taken pics so once I take new ones I will be able to compare which is always great...AND I guess I could start tape measuring (which I never was fond of). Other than that I could TRUST my eyes. How about that? The idea here is to work on trusting myself, loving myself, without validation from the scale. I still want to use it (a lot..lol) but I want to be able to look at myself and SEE with my progress with my own two eyes and trust that what I'm seeing is real, that's all.

Anyway, I could go on and on but I think I will end here for now.

The green smoothies are in effect daily!

Oh! I'm all over the place but I'm rushing because I'm supposed to be working ... exercises I've been doing - jogging, elliptical, and the STEPmill! Just started the STEPmill yesterday. Whew, that's a shock to the body! I like that machine a lot. I can jog for a good while but a few flights of stairs and I was winded! Will definitely keep this machine in my routine!

For weight training, I dug out some old P90 and Supreme 90 DVDs. I'm not going to do the plan according to their schedule. Nope. I'm going to make my own. I am going to start throwing in weight trying twice a week, so on those days, if I'm not at the gym, I will just pull out one of those DVDs. That way I can fit in a good upper and lower body weight training session each week. Ok sorry for all of these scattered thoughts, but I had to get it all out while I can.

Ok. Work is calling ! Have a great day!
