Hello forum friends!
Why 165lb you ask? There are two reason I want to go down to about 135lb so 165 is the halfway point....165lb is also the weight I went down to for my wedding almost 7 years ago, back then loosing 22lb had been so easy, I decided I wanted to loose 30lb for my August Wedding so I started Weigh Watchers the week of Halloween 2005 by Jan I was down 22.5 lb so 8lb away from my goal and I had 7 months to do it I was extatic then in February no pounds lost even when I upped my workouts (cause back then I had a Gym membership, and I actually used it) In the begining of march I found that I was expecting so we moved up the wedding to may and I was able to maintain my weight until the wedding. 2006 Was the year my life changed. I became a wife and later that same year a mom it was a good year one of the best, but I also lost myself, my husband had to find a better paying job, since we had a baby on the way he did but the hours where weird typical shift work. I had to let the gym membership go cause of my c section no point in paying 6 weeks I wouldn't be attending and then with day and night shift my husband was working having time to go to the gym was no longer existent so I went out walking alot with my baby girl when it was time for her nap I would bundle her up (late fall baby) and I would walk around the neighbourhood for an hour each day then I would bring her up on the porch and inside the house and I would use free weights to finish my work out, I was able to loose about 15lb o 15 the 30lb I gained while pregnante, then in the spring of 2008 I was expecting again this time I only gained 15lb ( I was craving fruits the whole time
) I left the hospital wearing my pre baby jeans needing only to loose 5lb of the baby weight plus the 15 I still needed to loose from baby number one! I find that since I had babies my emotional eating is at an all time high, I get angry because of a tantrum I go to the freezer and I eat ice cream or drink some pop. I am not blaming the kids...that is my own bad habit to deal with, and since the hollidays I have been doing better. Stress has been at a all time high my work contract ended at the end of December I was prepared for that but tought that I would be back at work but the real probleme happended at the begining of February when my hubby's work place went up in flames, a 125 years in business and then all up in flames, last year we had a very good financial year money was still tight but that was because we where paying back debt paying back like over 5 thousand dollars in one year......trying to maintain our payement plan this year is hard but .we will succeed, and even with all this going on I have maintained my weight.
I want to go fromwhoops steped on the scale this morning and it is 197.5 195 to 135 lb that is 60lb so I decided to cut my goal in two by the month of may I would love to be in the lower 170s and by July at 165lb, I will be following the P.I.N.K. Methode as a guideline to my weightloss they have really good meal ideas and workouts and a very rigid schedual wich I think I need. I am adding vitamine suplements and as the morning shake I will be using the Cinch shake from Shaklee cause that is a good tasting one and easily accessable for me! I aslo got an used threadmill for xmas and when my son is napping I do 20 min each day I now run 1.5 min at a 5 min interval started
with 30 seconds! I want to make sure I lose fat but not muscle so I still have my free weights and some elastics that I will be using 3 times a week . I will post my measurments tommorow on here. I plan to use this journal to keep track of my food but also instead of jumping into the bag of chips when I feel stressed out I will come on here and let it all out, so this might be a rant exesive diary but it's mine, so I can!!!
