Weighed myself this morning and am proud to announce a 1/2 lb loss.  Down to 256.5.  I will take it!

Weigh in delivered a number of 257.  I can live with that considering I spent 5 days in Mexico eating their food!  Shooting for 255 by next Monday.

Happy birthday to my cousin Eric today and cousin Alicia yesterday! 

This week was a bit disappointing.  I tipped the scale at 260 on Monday which has become my weighing day.  This morning I decided to take advantage of the great weather and walk from my new house to my old house where I still feed my cats twice a day.  I don't move them because they have nothing at the new house to hid under to get out of the weather when necessary.  So I took my miniature pinscher, Allie, for a walk and we trekked the 2 mile round trip there and back.  poor Allie is really tired with those little short legs!  I however feel renewed.  Probably because the weather was cooperative and the high today is only 70 degrees and I didn't sweat to death or struggle to breathe because of the pollen, etc.  I wonder if I can commit to doing this a few mornings a week?

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.
