My slimming journey

Hey Mands!!! Yay for the loss - I m glad you passed that mini plateau!! Woohooo!!

PS/ i have been curious - what does the sign in your avi pic mean?
 
Been MIA for 2 days - just got home so late that there was no energy to write in my diary.

Been doing good with my food - and I even took a walk yesterday with my little niece. We walked for about 5 minutes and sprinted back. I was knacked...can't believe how unfit I am.

Looking forward to the weigh in tomorrow as I think I did very well this week.

Saw my friend yesterday and she raved about the weight I've lost so far - felt soooo good. And it's so motivational it makes you just wanna carry on and stick it through.

Today is Thursday which means we are off to go feed the cats. We are volunteer feeders at a cat park for abandoned cats and there are about 100 homeless cats. We absolutely love animals and love our Thursdays with the cats.

Have a fab day y'all. Good luck with weigh in tomorrow!

TEAM VICTORY!!!
 
Mands, it sounds like you're doing fantastically well! Great job! The positive feedback from your friends is SUCH a bonus. Keep those words in your head on the tougher days. Looking forward to your weigh-in.
 
Hey Mands - great work on 1.9lbs down !! yay.:hurray:

Keep up your good -work on the food - nice plan to pack some healthy-food with you for the road-trip - you will be less tempted to have something "bad"...if U already have something "good" with you ...

That's nice that you do the volunteer work at the cat-park -- helping others & other creatures is good "charma"... & if U are happier & more content - then more likely to stick to good living - healthy food/exercise...

Hope the photo-work consult goes well,
cheers, Maryann
 
Hey hey it's Friday!!! And I have had an awesome week, food wise.... 3.8lbs down!!:party: at this rate I will definitely be a slimmer me when wedding season starts in May. I'm only 3.7lbs off my first goal - gonna try hard to achieve it by next week....I'm sooooo excited.

Someone asked me previously what the sign on my avatar means -it is my starsign in Chinese, Dragon. I actually have it tattooed on my wrist. I truely believe the Dragon in me got me through the years of my mom suffering from cancer. The strength and courage I had to get through it all and handle it the way I did wouldn't have been so easy if I was another star sign - just my opinion & believe.

Today is catching up on photo editing and just chillaxing at home. Want to go scout for beautiful locations this weekend to take our bridal couples to for their couple shoots in wedding season. We like to mix it up a bit.

Have an amazing weekend everyone and keep the focus on that goal!

Hi Mands I decided to visit you and read thru your entire journey thus far and my goodness are you doing amazing. Im reading your reaction to the amazing weight loss weigh ins and how your skinny clothes are starting to feel and I feel the happiness for you and you make me desire that feeling for myself, you gave me even more motivation, so thank you for that :)
 
Way to GO, Mands! That's an awesome week!
The best part is that YOU love the results, because that makes it so much easier to stay focused and do it some more.
Have a great weekend, and stay strong.
 
Thanks for hitting my thread.
Wow 16lbs in a month...you are our poster child for the month of Jan!
Keep on going..dont be bummed if it slows down a bit.
 
Just a quick update:

Got so much editing done yesterday, hope to finish by tomorrow with all the pix.

Food wise still going strong with no cheating whatsoever this year.

Today out and about scouting for locations to shoot at.

Have a fab day everyone!
 
Thanks for the encouragement in my diary :)
