Well last night at the gym I saw 201.5 on the scales... That is one more down...4 more to go and a month to do...That's 1 pound a week, I can soo do this!
Last night I went to the gym and then to water aerobics. I love that class, but man am I tired when I'm done... the instructor works us hard, and that in combination with the chlorine just makes me tired and hungry, but more tired
Hi Ladies
Man are you guys motivated...After last weekend i just cant get back into it. Well gonna go to the gym today..see how motivated i can get there. Ill brave jumping on the scale .... See how bad it is...lol.
Jenn - Are you still going to take those pictures for a portfolio?? I think you should SO SO SO do it! Congrats on the one pound loss, I think I'm going about 1 pound a week too, I'm happy yet frustrated. I really want to go 2-3pds a week but I guess slower is better in the long run! Postive thoughts postitive thoughts!!
Cat - I totally agree with you about exercising in the morning, I literally have to drag myself to the gym after work in the evening and I'm to tired to really go nuts in there! Then you have to worry about what to eat afterwards is a huge dilemma because I'm STARVED!! HA!
I have decided that I have a couple of milestone reward goals that I am going to honor myself with after a certain amount of weight loss - have you girlies thought about that? I might add then in my signature for extra motivation - we'll see.
So today's question is:
"what will your personal reward be for becoming a healthier you?"
1. At 220: New Tattoo
2. At 190: Spa Weekend
3. At 170 : *GOAL* Shopping Spree!!!
The most important thing to me is that once I reach my goal weight I will be setting my wedding date. I have been putting this off too long but I don't want to be married in this body. I know my fiance loves me in this body but he fell in love with me in my other body. This is something I need to do for me, and that will be the biggest reward ever!!!
One more sleep until friday!! Yippee!!!!

Thank you for the encouragement Miss P! Great question btw!
Let's see, so far I only had one set reward, maybe I'll come up with some more today, as of right now, this is it:
1. 199 - Trail Ride on Horse back with Tim (almost there )
2. 185 - ???
3. 170 - ???
Krissy - Don't be afraid of the scale... if it has moved in the wrong direction then it is just telling you to step it up a bit to get back into the swing of things... You CAN do this!
Well just back from the gym and the scale actually went in my favor. Im down 1 pound. WOOHOO!!..lol
Anyway my fiance and me are waiting to set a date to be married as well. Not for any particular reason other then trying to decide where to do it. I want small wedding in tropical place, he wants big wedding here. Its hard to meet half way on those 2 ideas...
I cant think of any good rewards for weight that i plan to lose. I think its a good idea though. I need to think of something really good...something that ive wanted for awhile....hmmm.
Great job Krissy! I told you there was no need to fear the scale! Usually it is the woman who wants the big wedding... go figure that you guy wants one and you don't, lol
BTW, I wanted to update my rewards:
1. 199 - Trail Ride on Horse back with Tim (almost there )
2. 185 - Day trip to Nantucket
3. 170 - Hawaii? (A girl can dream, can't she?)
ohhhh Hawaii sounds good, and actually, that was one of the hot spots on my mind for our wedding. We are both previously married so we just want to do the island get-away ourselves.
Krissy - Congrats on the one pounder loss!! WTG Gurl! And I totally agree with Jenn, the scale isn't predicting the future, just letting us know where we can step it up!! I go on the scale once a week, if that and I never go near it inbetween, well...... it helps when it's busted, HA!
Jenn - You are almost there on that horse - can you smell the oats yet? hehehe....WTG with you and your losses so far too!
Anyways - have a great weekend all and I will check in tonight after my workout!!
Thanks Miss P! I'm hoping to reach ONEderland by next weekend We'll see how I do.
I hope everyone is having a good Friday and has a wonderful weekend. I'm off very shortly to go to the airport with Tim to pick up his family (Mom & sister) and I will unfortunately be out of contact until Monday or Tuesday. SO I guess I'll talk to y'all then!
Well Done Jenn and Krissy on the losses i'm down 2lbs myself this week which i'm extremely pleased about after my gain from last weeks binge i walked 4.5mls yesterday and 3.25mls this morning
I have'nt thought about any rewards cos the biggest reward for me will be how i feel when i'm able to fit in all my 'old' slim clothes and the other one will be the looks on the faces of my hubbies family when they arrive mid August and and get a hold of the new me that will be priceless
I think i was a bit ambitious with my Canada Day goal weight cos its June 1st on Tuesday where did May go? i've lost 8.5lbs this month it would have been more if i had'nt partied so much over my birthday but they're only once a year so i won't moan about it too much the only gliche in the coming month is hubbies birthday if i don't stuff my face too much on that day i'll have a good month coming up i may not lose the 20lbs but i'm aiming for it still
I just wanted to drop in and let y'all know that everything is going great with Tim's family here. They are really nice people (of course, they raised Tim, didn't they?)
Anywho, I just wanted to say on the 2# gone, Cat!!! Keep it up!
Cat - WTG on the loss of 2 pounds!! Keep up the good work chickie!
Jenn - Good to hear that things are going good with the "in-laws", family is so important to me and I am so thankful that Kent has such a wonderful family as well.
Well, I renewed my CPR yesterday, then went grocery shopping and then started on my house cleaning. Needless to say I didn't go to the gym, but I am going today for sure! This weekend has gone by SO fast, ugh I can't believe it's almost monday! Well I guess that's life! Anyways, I hope everyone is having a good weekend, I'll cyz all on monday!
Jenn, glad you are enjoying the family being with you
Miss P, I was working this morning so the weekend went even faster for me but i'm off tomorrow so thats good i'm just vegging this afternoon but i'll treadmill tomorrow
Walked 3.5mls this morning then had a lovely lunch which i was ready for cos i missed brekky to treadmill first being hungry made lunch taste all the better now i'm ready for the mall, one of my favourite pastimes
Good morning ladies! Hope everyone had a great weekend!
The weekend with Tim's mom and sister was great. They are just so nice! We went up to Maine on Saturday and to a cookout at my family's house on Sunday. Yesterday I left them alone so they could have some time with just Tim and while they were out, they bought me 'Wizard of Oz' magnets because "they saw them and thought of me" - how sweet are they? I went out to dinner with them last night and then we just sat around the apartment for a while. Tim is driving them back to the airport today... I wish I could see them off, but my sister is on vacation this week, which means I can't take the day off, so I said my good-byes last night.
This morning I went to the gym first thing...I wanted to get my workout in now so I could spend my ENTIRE afternoon with Tim since we hadn't had any personal time to just snuggle with his mom and sister staying at his apartment...anywho I weighed myself while I was at the gym, and I actually cried...HAPPY tears... I saw 198.75#!!!! I DID IT!!! I'm in ONEderland!!! After a holiday weekend and not going to the gym since Friday...I am soooo excited!
See how bad it is...lol.
