Yes, I'm still alive! I've had many people recently inquire about my lack of presence on the blog. I've been a little busy with work and babies. Plus, I have to admit, it's alot easier to find the time to post when I'm doing better with weight loss. I feel more motivated to post when I've been successful than when I'm not doing as well as I'd hoped. But, I promised the good, the bad and everything inbetween...so, I need to do better about the updates.
I am finally headed in the right direction after gaining a few pounds last week. I've tried to drink more water, and I think that has made all the difference. I'm still not getting in the 40-64 oz per day, but I'm doing much better. I'm easily getting in 30 oz. The hubs and I are taking our girls to Destin in June, so I have a little added incentive to start exercising. I want to join our recreational center at work and have been threatening to for about 2 weeks now. Time to get off my big fat lazy and get it done!
We've got about 8 weeks before the beach trip, and I'd LOVE to be at my first goal of 200. I haven't been under 200 lbs in like 6 years. Realistically, I realize that may not happen by beach time b/c that would be a little over 4 pounds a week. I mean, unless you're a Biggest Loser contestant, I don't see anyone losing 4+ pounds per week. But, it's something to shoot for, right!?! I'm happy with my 16 lb weight loss so far, but I've yet to fall under 235. Keep me in your prayers, that I can push my limits, fight the food demons, get in all the liquid, and most of all EXERCISE! I go for a checkup in 2 weeks and want to be below 230.

Oh, I can tell you how to lose four pounds in one week. Have everything you eat immediately exit your body at a high rate of speed for three days straight. It's not pleasant, though.
ReplyDeleteGood job on the weight loss! Even if you aren't to your goal by Destin, I bet with working out, you;ll have lost a lot of inches along with what you've already lost! I'm super, duper proud of you!
