Of course you can do it your doing so brilliantly already. It will be great when you see your grandmother. She will be amazed at the difference in you. Sometimes we don't see it ourselves, but when someone who hasn't seen you in a while, sees you, then see such a big difference and it will be such a boost to your motivation. Your doing so fantastic Jacqui well done and keep up the fantastic work. Your certaintly motivating me anyway so thanks a million for that. Hope you have a great day Maddie :waving:

Thanks :) I'm hoping to be able to buy a sexy red dress for christmas (but not too sexy for church) And you are my motivation. :)

Fell off the wagon a bit this weekend, so i'm back up at 242 BUT, I also think that maybe the 240 was just the scale dying, because I put new batteries in it and it is much more firm on the weights it shows me. lol.

I'm going to go get dressed in warmer clothes (it got cold!) and take my puppies for a walk. :) should be interesting. lol
 
Hey girl! YOU TOO on the water weight! Everyone needs a little wiggle room, LUCKY YOU it only lasted for a weekend!!

Good luck this week! Happy hump day!
 
I'm sure you will look amazing in your xmas red dress! You know we'll want to see pictures, right? ;)

I definately will take pictures! :)


Anyway, its been a looooong day. Had extra work at the barn BUT I'm back to 240 as of this morning, so I'm hoping that for the challenge weigh in tomorrow I'll see 239. That would totally make my day!

I've been super good for food today, an english muffin with smart balance for breakfast, and a one piece of bread turkey sandwich. :) I've also been drinking lots of water too. :) Trying to keep my salt intake to a minimum.

Anyway am feeling pretty damn good today. :) Gonna do more push ups and sit ups, and leg lifts and stuff like that. I did a bunch yesterday and I'm super sore, but Its a good hurt. :) Makes me want to do more!
 
just got done doing a before bed toning workout. 15 pushups, and 300 crunches. Golly after yesterday, it was super hard with the pushups, only did half as many as yesterday. BUT am going to increase them, slowly, so that I can do more. My fitness goal for strength is to do a pull up. I've never been able to, as I've always been heavy. SO, that's another goal. Be able to do a pull/chin up!
 
Who's in the 230's? I'M IN THE 230's!!!!!!!!!

Barely at 239, BUT IM THERE!!!!! :)

So being super duper good to keep myself there. :) And that makes 20lbs. :)
 
YAY! Awesome job, you must have been so excited! And pushups, wow, I could probably do two before I'd just decide I was done, haha. Great job all around!
 
So a big motivator for me, I just got some pants out of the wash, and they used to be super tight on me, and I'd never wear them... They went on without a hitch, and are actually very comfortable! Woohoo! Anyway, hope you all have a good weekend! I'm off to go help out at an open barn for a Norwegian Fjord Farm. It's always fun!
 
spent all day at a farm helping people learn about horses and micro farming. Twas fun. :) Lots of walking, and working. :)

Am hoping for three lbs lost this week. Am doing sit ups and pushups still, and am hoping to go running tomorrow.
 
So, two super duper things of good news.

1. I weighed in this morning at 238! Woot woot!! *does a booty dance*

2. My parents bought an elliptical! It should be here on friday! YEEEEESSS!!! Now I dont have to go find a place to run, (especially since 3 women have been attacked while running in the last 5 days) and I can just go downstairs and chug away! Thank god! Now the weight will seriously fall off!! I'm so excited.

Anyway, am getting ready for halloween, so I'm going to go pull my corn stalks, then go to a costume store to look at costumes, then I'm going to go get some creepy looking bones to bury in our front planter... *rubs hands together* I love Halloween, we (my brother and I) truly enjoy scaring little and big children, and their parents. However, if we scare the little kids too badly, we go after them, show them we're ok, and give them LOTS of extra candy, :)

Then, I have a voice lesson at 2 today, should be fun, and then I'm going off to work. :) I want to ride today, so it should be fun. :)

Hey Xorie!! That is fantastic news about your pants fitting! Bet you that feels pretty awesome!

And yaaaay for the new elipical! That's great!!

Cheers :)
 
Yay for the new elliptical!! I love mine. I am much too lazy to go walking or running outside. I just go down the hall to my elliptical and hop on, with a fan blasting cold air right at my face and while watching TV, haha. You're gonna love it.

I love Halloween too!! It's always been my favorite holiday, probably partially because my birthday is right before it and I always had Halloween themed birthday parties as a kid. I usually have a party and go all out with my decorations, but this year I decided I have way too much going on so I'm not having one. :( But I am still dressing up. My husband's aunt has a Halloween party every year. We are going as Waldo (Where's Waldo) and Carmen Sandiego.
 
Oh so close...

I saw 237 this morning... BUT then it popped up to 238. Oh well. Am going to be super good today, because weigh in for the challenge is tomorrow, and I want to do well.

For breakfast, I had a "Julie's organice frozen strawberry yogurt" AKA, happiness on a stick. It is the best thing I have ever tasted, and only 100 calories! the company aslo makes these amazing one hundred calorie fudge bars too. Am super happy about that.

Anyway, I went riding last night with the woman who I work for. She's got plans for the 2016 olympics, and she is an amazing dressage rider. She told me that I had a very pretty seat... YES! Thank god, I was super nervous riding with her, even though she is the nicest person. She also says that she is going to teach me dressage! I told her I'm not allowed to get lessons from her until I'm under 200lbs. So there is a huge goal from me. She's a top rider, and has had training from a whole bunch of amazing top international riders! I can't wait!

And, the elliptical will be here Monday, so starting next week, the pounds should start falling off!!!!! WHOOOOOHOOOOO!!!! I'm stoked for the next chapter in my life!

Cant wait for my grandmother to see me when she comes out on the 18th of November. The last time she was here, we had a talk, and she said that she was worried about me because I was heavier than she has ever seen me. I can't wait to show her that I can do something about my life!

Anyway, hope you all have a great day! I'm off to work!

...I just tried to get up... holy rusted metal batman, I'm so sore!

Lol, I see that journal and sometimes click on it thinking it's mine. I visit that one a lot though, so I realize my mistake soon enough... :)


Anyway, I'm not going to be able to use a scale tomorrow, I'm going to be housesitting, and I don't think they have a scale... (if they do I'll weigh in again) BUT I hopped on the scale before I got in the shower... aaaaannd....


TAH DA! 237! Woot woot woot !!!! :):party:

Super duper happy at the moment... like, can barely sit still to write this down happy. Anyway, if they have a scale, I'll hop on in the morning, but I'll take the 237 now! :) *does another happy dance*
 
Oh lordy lordy... I've been bad... not completely horrendous, but close. My food nemesis (chicken and cheese taquitos) were on sale, and I am unhappy to report that I could not resist their siren's call... I was bad... and then I went and just ate tooooo much of pretty much everything... My digestive tract is unhappy about that... and it let me know... *sigh* BUT we got our elliptical. So I'll be able to erase the bad days once I get home from farm sitting.

Anyway, there are about nine/ten weeks until christmas... I figure, that If I can lose 2-3lbs a week, that's another 20-30lbs by christmas. I'm making that my goal. 20 is mini goal, 30 big goal. Wish me luck.
 
236! Woot! :) Not as much as I'd like BUT as I was bad this week (for the first half at least) the fact that I lost a pound is pretty awesome. :)

Anyway, off to my violin lesson, will post more later. Later taters!
