Sunday, May 12, 2013 Mother's Day

When I weighed myself this week, I finally lost!  It was a 1.5 lb weight loss.  It seems like I have steadily been gaining almost .5-1 lb per week but the small loss was a glimmer of hope.  I even got in almost 10,000 steps yesterday (Fitbit said 8000 something) on a regular average day.  walking to yard sales was really helpful and I love yard sales! I got two beautiful plant stands for $5 each and they really look good in my living room. 

But today I will celebrate my Mother's Day with my beautiful Granny who at 90 years old is a breath of spring to me, my mom who leads each day with a smile on her face and embraces life to it's fullest, and my mother in law who let's no adversity stand in her way.  Earlier this week I had the pleasure of spending Thursday night dinner with my step mama whose strength is phenomenal.  Happy Mother's Day to all.

Today I walked almost 12,000 steps.  I am really wore out!  Hoping tomorrow's weigh in is promising.  unfortunately I am gaining about 1/2 pound each week for the past three weeks and that is getting a bit discouraging :(  But I refuse to live on cardboard and air.

Last Monday when I weighed, I weighed in at 255lbs and 46% body fat.  So up another half a lb but down 2% body fat.....Hmmmm.  Well tonight I went to Zumba and hit 12,000 steps today which was my personal best for one day.  Hoping to lose at least 1 lb so I can get that extra point for our wellness challenge :)  Wish me luck!

Tonight's Zumba class was great.  A little more challenging than the last class.  I believe I was just wore out to start with.  A BIG THANK YOU to my friend Mary for keeping me going.  It really helps a lot!  I didn't achieve my goal of 10000 steps today like the last day I went to class but I really enjoyed myself and always do!  I weighed in yesterday with 254.5  lbs  and 49% body fat.  I need to work on a few things and get up from my desk more.  The issue is that the work I do is a LOT of desk work.  Well I will weigh in tomorrow and we will see if I was successful at all.

Zumba baby! - April 4, 2013 Not sure how many days it is....lost track!

Weight this morning 255 with 48% body fat.  I don't get how I am gaining weight.  This is crazy!  Im committed to go to my first Zumba class tonight with friends Mary and Tracy.  We had a blast and I put in more steps during the hour of class than I had then entire day up to that point.  It also helped me to achieve 10,000 steps today which is my goal every day!  I am sure I will sleep good tonight.  thanks Mary and Tracy for the head start!  I will definitely go back.  Surely I will have lost lbs or body fat tomorrow....right?

Day 7- Saturday, March 23, 2013

I have been unable to post for a few days due to being at the Annual Meeting for our company.  It is a very harried time but I LOVE IT!  It is a lot of walking and I love to be of service to my co workers.  Anyway yesterday was my first day back in the office so I weighed myself yesterday morning.  It read 253 and 47% body fat.  Kind of a bitter sweet result since I felt like I walked my ass off but if the weight had to go up at least the body fat percentage went down.  I am not sure if I reported it before but it was 49%.  Today I am taking my boys to bowling along with some of their teammates so I won't get much walking in there.  I will have to find some other way.  I will keep you posted.  I bought a Fitbit and it keeps track of my activity so i can report that to you too.  Here's to a great day!

Day 3-Tuesday, March 19, 2013

3:58am- Can't sleep.  Can't get my mind to shut down from this crazy meeting.  Lol.  I consider helping plan this meeting a perk of my job.  It is really rejuvenating to see all our store managers, regionals, and vendors.  Think I am gonna channel this energy and do some stretching to put myself back to sleep.  Wish me luck!
