Jae's super duper weightlos diary

AWESOME!!! What you are doing already is persevering. So many people would have quit after gaining back a pound or two. You didn't and now you have lost even more weight! THAT is what it is going to take over the next year to make your dream come true. You have it in you. I can tell. Now don't stop. Keep going. And when the going gets tough, well, you know the rest of it. ;)

I'm going to keep checking in on your diary. I think you have what it takes to do this. :)

That's excellent!

I went for my first run today, and my best was 1/4 mile before slowing to a walk.

1/4th isnt bad at all, congrats! You're already having a better start then I did. When I first started running, and this is sad, I couldnt even run that far without stopping. It was baaad. :smilielol5:
You'll be running a mile +some in no time.

Thank you! I've slowly come to realize that a few pounds up doesnt mean everythings ruined, because it could be water weight or god only knows what else, its not exactly fat. I usually gain a little on the weekends anywa but I guess due to my regular workouts its easier for my body to burn it off plus more?
I'm focused on my weights overall trend more than daily.
Infact, I keep a chart of my weight so that I can have a visual of the downward slope.

I wont give up no matter what now, i've come this far and I know I can do it so theres no excuse to go back. I really want to be 200lbs by December, I can totally drop 23lbs by then. Shoot, I told my husband that once I reached 220 I was going to cry, i'm so close to that I cant believe it.


I HAVE A WORKOUT BUDDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The other day I ran into my old best friend from elementary, middle, and high school. We hadnt seen eachother in about 6 years. I got her number but washed it in my pants. I was so bummed.
But yesterday when I walked into my YMCA, there she was again. Its a sign! She just got her membership and we're going to work out together. Finally, after so long, I'll have a girl to workout with.
Not that I dont love working out with my husband but with him i'm always trying to keep up because he's so far ahead of me physically.
 
Hello!

I stumbled upon your journal today! I just ready the whole thing. You're doing sooo wonderful!! You've certainly inspired me to keep going. I was down 4.6 lbs and had a bad two days but you're right, it doesn't mean I'm ruined! It's about eating badly consistently, not for two days!

Anyway I wanted to congratulate you...I'll definitely keep an eye for your journal!! :)

Aw thanks darlin! Congrats on not giving up and you can totally do it. Just stick with it, its about the mentality.




Yesterday we went to the forestry with my husbands family and played football, kickball, frisbee. It was awesome.
I'm holding steady at 222 now. Woooooeeeeeei.

I'm for sure getting a Xpole. I dont know if i've talked about it in here before. I've been wanting one for the past few years but either havent had the room or just havent had the inclination to spend $300 on one.
But this Christmas, its mine. I'd get one sooner but I want to drop some more weight so i'll feel comfortable on it.
 
So close so close so close.
I feel like this is the big one, the big step. I got down to 222 a few months ago but then I freaked out and gained it all back. Not this time, fat cells!
This number scares me, almost as if this will be tougher to break than the rest. Which, it wont be, but I almost feel like I have to work extremely hard to get them off. Like its going to fight me.
 
How anti-climatic!
221 this morning, lol. Wow that was... easy. Huh. But, yeah, WOOOOOO HOOOO.
:party:

2lb loss goal attained for the week. Now I just need to maintain that til Friday.
PIC (with hot side toe)
 
Congratulations!!!! I love that you have a pic of your scale :) I wish I wasn't too lazy to do that haha
 
Thanks!
I've been meaning to take pics the whole way but I never remember in the mornings. However from now on its 'real' so I think it will be easier to remember.

Was 223 this morning, I ate tacos last night though so i'm holding water.

NEW GOAL:
To do a handstand.
I'll probably be in the hospital. Or worse? Can you break your neck doing this?

Anyway.. um.. to strengthen my arms and core, i'm going to start doing handstands.
Now, I know, you're horrified at this. I am to. What the hell am I thinking?
I've never been able to do a handstand, a cartwheel, or a flip in my life.
But i'm going to do it.
Of course, i'm being a cheater and using the wall for now.

I cant break my neck doing this right?

I'm scared.

But doing a handstand is one of my new goals. So yeah.
Ohhhh god.
 
The good news is that I didnt fall on my face.

I cant even do a full handstand against a wall.
But, I can kick up! So thats cool, i'm just so scared of kicking to hard and tumbling over that i'm not kicking hard enough. I'm not getting close enough to the wall to fully extend out because, of course, i'm afraid i'm going to tumble down and hurt myself. :willy_nilly:

Maybe I should practice falling.
 
I went up to 224 today, Probably because Friday night I ate a ton of salty food.
But it was my anniversary. :party:
We went to Natural Bridge Ky and hiked for a few hours. I walked across the bridge!
This is what we walked across:






I've also finally decided to show my belly. :eek2:
 
224 this morning, ugh i'm so SICK. My nose is messed up, my sinuses. Blah. but i'm going to the gym anyway. Which I know is WRONG because I might make other people sick but.... I didnt exercise yesterday and i'm going crazy just sitting here.
 
Back to 222. Hooray for working out and getting back to good eating.

The pic I posted earlier of my belly was after eating a ton of pizza so perhaps I should post a pic of my side before eating.

Dont know if I can go to the gym today, whatever was in my nose has moved to my throat.
I did manage to run 2 laps yesterday without stopping, so I guess I wasnt too bad off being sick. Did some weights yesterday too. Sat in the sauna for a while, omg, it made me feel so much better.
 
220 today! YAY.
My goal was to be 220 by Friday and i've already met that goal, so now i've just got to maintain it. I mean, if I drop back down to 219 or 218 by friday i'll take it lol.

Still stick, but its going away. Me and my daughter are in the last stages, I think.

I dont know what it is, if it might have something to do with the weight i've lost or what, but yesterday I started having the worst breakout of my LIFE. This is nuts. I ran to walmart today to buy some spot cream and stuff cause its helped in the past, but man i've never broken out this way before. Its freaking me out.
 
You're doing great. How tall are you? Sorry if that was mentioned. You carry your weight really well. After having two kids and being overweight my entire life, I wish my stomache looked like yours, lol Keep it up! :)
 
Thank you. I'm 5'6". I've been lucky that my families genes tend to I guess 'hold their fat close' to their bodies. Or have... firm fat? I dont know exactly hot to describe it.
We all have the duck booty too, lol.
I'm a stay at home mom too!


After my daughters ballet we are going to the gym, and my husband is going to try and help me with handstands and cartwheels.

Handstand/cartwheel practice went...

Well it went better than the last time. I actually followed through with it. Instead of going down and stopping before or as my hands hit the ground, I FINALLY let my whole body just go.
Go right to the ground. Cause I cant get my legs to work with me haha. I cant get them to go away from my body, they want to stay close.
We practiced on the mat in the YMCA, which makes me feel a little bit safer.
