February 2013 Update

I have never been so glad to see a month end. February was a rough month and I did some emotional eating for about 2 weeks and it really shows. The first week of February I did AWESOME, then things went down hill. I'm back to me now and will hopefully have these last 8 pounds off by the beach!

Needless to say, I'm just glad I Los this month, as of yesterday I thought it was going to be my first up month in quite awhile.

January 2013 Update

FINALLY A MONTH WITHOUT HOLIDAYS! And there are actual results. I will say, trying to actually loose weight the last 3 months of the year is virtually impossible for me, I've decided. Too many eating events.

Not only have I don't great this month but I've hit some very BIG milestones with this mornings weigh-in.

1. As of this morning I have lost more than 100 pounds (100.7 to be exact :)) since I started this journey. That's a little person....HOLY COW!

2. I am now less than 10 pounds away from my goal! I've got 8.8lbs to loose to reach my doctors recommended weight.

Skydiving...here I come ( in 8.8lbs)!

Hockey and Weight Loss

So how do I incorporate my favorite sport into my weight loss. Easy! My husband bought me a Hurricanes jersey for Christmas in 2009...(if it wasn't '09 it was Christmas '10, but I believe '09 is right) when he bought the jersey it fit, I mean the arms were a little long but in the body it fit. Well needless to say, it's so big it's hard to wear. I hated that! The arms were so long they were in the way and you could probably fit another person in the jersey with me.

I was bummed, jerseys are EXPENSIVE. Bring in 50% off all Canes apparel due to the lockout, if I'm going to buy a jersey now is the time....HELLO NEW JERSEY. Hello Jersey that is is a children's size! A children's jersey is $45 cheaper than a adult jersey at regular cost...CHA-CHING! I will say, I tried on the adult jerseys and even the smallest sizes the arms were too long...the kid's jersey fits perfectly!

Look at the pictures to see the difference in sizes...woah! I surprise myself.

December 2012 Update

Wow! What an amazing year 2013 had been. I've grown, learned about myself and became a better person through it all.

I lost a total of 49.6 pounds in 2012 (boo to just 0.4 lbs shy of 50) and since I started this journey (May 2010) I've lost 95.5 total. I'm within 14lbs of my goal and I hope to kick things in to high gear and get those 14 lbs gone early in 2013.

I have discovered a love for running which I would have never thought would happen but I did. I ran 10 races this with a 5k PR of 31:04. Hopefully I'll be able to get that below 30 in 2013.

November 2012 Update

Didn't think it could get much worse than October in the weight loss department....then November came. I'm actually surprised I have a loss to report as I hovered around my beginning month weight.

Here's how I'm trying to stay positive and not get frustrated. I've lost a ton of weight this year, I'm so close to my goal (of course it's going to be hard), if I keep working I'll get there eventually. With all the events an parties the last 3 months of the year are always rough and not just for me but most everyone. Slow and steady wins the race. Anything is progress. Taking it one day at a time and enjoying this wonderful life I have. :)
