Tales from the Scales Tuesday!!

The tale from my scale said:

179

That is maintaining for me.

I am at a 14lb loss, have not loss any clothing sizes but I do feel better!!

Goals for next week:

Stay very strict on eating (after all the cruise is less than 2wks away)! Including Thanksgiving!

Workout at least 4 times this week!

Lose 4lbs!? I'll be happy with any loss, so I am setting my goals high this week!

OK those are good goals, I'm happy with them!

Happy Tales from the scales!

Music Program at School

I am not a "cool" mom,
I am the gitty,
crazy waving like crazy, picture snapping, insane mom, in the bleachers!

In my defense, my baby girl was so cute and she wanted nothing to do with it:

It became obvious this evening that she is old enough to embarrass and yes she thinks she is too cool for this kid stuff!

I still loved it, it was by far the cutest music program we have been to. All the songs were about food and silly foods.I didn't know my daughter had so many talents, not only can she play the tambourine, but she can play the water jugs!!! Now that is something to write about!!! Even though baby girl is to cool for it!
She is still awesome a did an awesome job!!!!

As for me, getting back on track... an awesome crazy woman's workout tonight followed by a good dinner and a good blog!! Beginning to feel better and get back to somewhere near normal, where ever that may be!! Thanks for all the well wishing and praying!! I'll be back for tales from the scales tomorrow, when I can weigh in in the morning, for me that is best!!!!!!!!

Tales from the Scales Tuesday!!

The tale from my scale was a loss of 1lb. YEA ME!!!!

In case you were wondering...... I got that totally awesome, make a woman feel good workout today, and in only 45 minutes!! Hubby had to be gone (he has a monthly card game with family)! I did it, I went in and began immediately. I think I was breathing heavily and no one wanted to work out around me, but frankly I don't give a dang!!!! I loved it, relieved some stress, hopefully relieved some weight and relieved my mind! Yes, yes, yes a perfect workout!!!

My goal for next week, break 180lbs (oh, my did I post that, did I actually commit that, yes I did) down at least 2lbs. that is a healthy goal. There aren't any crazy dinner plans this weekend, so maybe I can somewhat stay on track!! Maybe some extra food at a card party I may make it to, but other than that things should be easy!!

Can I be completely honest.... It doesn't matter, I have been to this point so I will continue.....
I came home from the gym feeling like "I look good" a total feeling of "I feel sexy" you know what I mean! I don't know if I am feeling the weight loss or if the work out was that good! My stretch jeans are a little baggy maybe that counts as a different fit from my clothes! I'll let you know when they are hanging off of me, cause that is what I am going for!!

More to my goal, workout two time next week, like I did tonight!!!

Happy tales to you!!!!

TIME OUT!! Tales from the Scales!!

This month seems to be a little difficult for me!

Alrighty, so it has been a good week, I have chosen to eat a couple of things "not on the menu", but I was able to eat them in controlled amounts!! I refuse to give in. The scale numbers are still going down, even though I do not see a physical difference, yet!! So the weigh in you ask..............................................................................................................

2 Pounds!!!!!

That is a total of 10 pounds!!!!!!!!!

I really do not see a physical difference. I knew this would happen, the last time I supposedly lost weight, everyone else noticed except me!! I just don't see a change in the mirror right away or I have to good of a body image that I do not see the truth. I can see the weight on me when I look at pictures, but I am not ready to post weight loss pictures just yet, give me some time!!

I did not make it to the gym this week, not very like me. I really, really enjoy going to the gym and have always used the gym for more of a therapy. I use it to fight depression and clear my head, you know, get my thoughts in order. It helps me to sleep well at night and awake rested, OK I could go on and on! So to get to the point I will be making more than zero trips to the gym this week and if I can't go I will walk with the dog and kids like I did yesterday!!

I am still committed and staying away from the fast food!!!!!!

Tales from the Scales Tuesday!!

It was a good week for weight loss, 5 pounds, (I don't care what kind of weight the scale read less) actually a little more than 5, but less than 6 but who's counting!!!!
I have never done this SCALE weight loss thing before, I have always gone by how I feel, I have done the "how it fits" in recent!! So this is all new. I don't feel any different and I am not wearing anything different, but the scale said I lost weight and I am encouraged by that!! This is the encouragement I never gave myself before!!
Thanks so much for all of your encouraging and sweet words, I really appreciated all of them. I am definitely one of those people who likes to allow myself to think I am being held accountable!! The reason I enjoy group fitness, work, family etc. etc. they all hold me accountable and I MUST rise to the challenge. Don't get me wrong, everything in moderation. I do enjoy it when something as silly as blogging about weight-loss held me accountable and held me through week #1. So even if you don't want to, I am having you hold me accountable, Thanks a bunch!!
