Got The Job!!

I GOT THE JOB!!! YAY!!! Okay so now that I got that off my chest, today was another one of those days where I got up and got on the scale. Which was a bad idea. I didn't lose any weight from yesterday. (I was trying to see if and when I lose most of my weight). So now I plan on weighing myself only on Tuesdays and Fridays. This way there is an almost exact amount of time in between weigh ins. 

I'm hoping that this process will help me figure things out. And I plan on noting what I eat the days before I weigh myself. (www.myfitnesspal.com) This way when I weigh myself and if I get good results (losing more weight), I will try to curve my diet towards what I ate and did during that time frame. 

Still working on cutting Ramen out of my diet but, I JUST CAN'T HELP IT, IT TASTES SO GOOD!!! Lol. I have cut back drastically on soda, which was one of my massive set backs. But, 1 glass (8 oz) of soda every other day is what I allow myself and I do what I can to limit my sweets intake. 

Now, I am not trying to say cut sweets all together because that is not healthy. But limit how much sweets you eat. If you want something sweet, look at the calories per servings. And try to stick close to that. Also, invest in a food scale. That is what I am doing to try to portion out my meals. 

Good Luck everyone! I have to go to work ^_^

Just keep losing!

So as everyone knows I have been having a rough last month. I gained 8 lbs back at the end of July and was completely miserable with myself for it happening. But, I hit a wall in the middle of the month that put me in a position to where things need to be different and I started pushing myself to do more.

In two week I had lost 4 lbs (which I stated in a few blogs back), and I have been on track with losing at least 2 lbs per week. Last week I weighed myself before the, what I thought would be hellish, weekend. I was 192 lbs. So I was expecting to gain back at least 2 of the 4 lbs lost. (I knew I would probably be drinking and eating a lot). 

I came home Monday night but, I didn't have the chance to weigh myself until Tuesday night. My parents got me a scale as a late birthday present. So now I have a scale at my house now. 

And to my surprise when I got on the scale it said I weighed 191.3 lbs!!!

Talk about a surprise for me. I didn't gain anything I lost .7 lbs. And then today I got up this morning expecting the results of Tuesday nights weigh in to change for some reason and I got on the scale and it said I weighed 190.2 lbs!

I have lost since the beginning of the year 19.8 lbs out of my 70 lbs goal! I have 50.2 lbs to go to achieve my goal but boy oh boy am I happy. Plus, I have a job interview today to try to get part time work to get me out of the house and get money to put Klaire in day care so she can make new friends and grow on her social skills. 

These last few weeks have tested me mentally and physically and I have to say the results of it are starting to show. People who have seen me over the last week say that they can tell that I am losing weight and that I am looking good. 

What a wonderful note to end on ^_^ Have a good day everyone! Time for me to go do some super cleaning before the interview <3 Wish me luck!
