Weight loss: Week 7

So I completely forgot about this post last week. But last week was my week that I didn't want to post. I only got 1 post out for my craft blog that is usually 3 per week! I was so lazy!  With that I wasn't as good with exercising but I did get 6 or 7 days in of exercising so at least it's a step in the right direction....
Here are the measurements:

Weight: 185 (-2, total 11) YES! Past the 10 lbs mark!
Chest: 43 (same, total .5 inch)
Belly: 40 (same, total 2.25 inch)
Hips: 43.5 (-1, total 1 inch)
Thighs: 25 (same total, .5 inch)

Well I guess the exercising is helping! That's motivating! I'm hoping that I can have it even better next report! And I made my hip goal which was to lose one inch off my hips. sure it took 3 weeks instead of 2 but who cares? I MADE IT! Here are the goal for this next week:

I will eat well with plenty of fruits and veggies
I will exercise EVERYDAY except Sunday for 30 minutes
I will lose a total of 2 inches on my body where ever my body takes it off.
I will have only small amount of sweets and never go for seconds on them!

I think the only way I can make all my goals is to: follow the 1st goal religiously and the rest will follow. I believe I can do this even with Easter on it's way. To the next 2 week!

Weight loss: Week 4

I'm a little embarrassed about reporting my weeks. I didn't do as I should. I was to start the exercising these last 2 weeks and I didn't do anything! Urg! I feel bad writing it but I have to be truthful if this blog is going to help my journey. I did keep to my portion sizes but there were a few days with brownies, lots of brownies but for the most part did good with the food. Here are my measurements. I'm sure there won't be much change from the previous post.

Weight: 187 (-2, total 9 pounds) I miss posted last times total loss should have been 7 not 6.
Chest: 43 (-.5)
Belly: 40 (same, total -2.25)
Hips: 44.5 (same)
Thighs: 25 (-.5)

Well I'm pleasantly surprised but need to be better cuz the hips are really where I want to loss stuff besides the belly. Need to get in those cute pants I own! So here are the goals for the next 2 weeks:

1- I will exercise everyday, except Sunday, for 30 minutes.
2- I will continue to eat well
3- I will stay away from sweets
4- I will lose 1 inch off the hips

Hopefully I will have a better report to make next time! If you need motivation go over to my sister's blog Splendid Failure Crafts. She has made is below 170! Way ta go sis!

Weight loss 2 week restart

Ok I have been trying to work on portion sizes and focusing on lean proteins and fruits and vegetables for the last few weeks and it felt good. I haven't been doing exactly the pink method like my sister. I feel it is impossible to do that without the items that come with the program. I am trying to do what I know is right and try not to eat sweets. My sister was here this last weekend which means I HAD to be good. I didn't make it.. I have a weakness that is too strong for me to ignore, white cake with butter cream frosting. I LOVE cake over basically everything else! So the 2 days we were over at my parent home to visit everyone I didn't do well and it also showed me how much I fudge the rules when I don't have someone who is looking at what I'm doing. Not saying that my sister was staring me down or anything, there was just this connection knowing that they knew exactly what I should be doing. It made me feel guilty and want to do better and I did except when that cake was involved! :) Well here are my measurements. I am taking this as I write this blog so it's like I'm learning at the same time as you. At least as close as it could be! Let me go get the tape measure... Here we go..
Weight:189 (-2, total 6 pounds)
Chest: 43.5 (same)
Belly: 40 (-1 inch, total -2.25 inches)
Hips: 44.5 (same)
Thigh: 25.25 (same)

We'll see what the next two weeks brings with adding exercise with the good eating. There won't be ANY white cake this week so I think I can do it! Can I tell you that I am so excited to be under 190! I haven't been that for over a year now!
