Stasia Gets Skinny

I've done much better with eating today. It's almost 8pm, and I'm up to 1100 already! Just have to get in the groove I guess.

For the competition with my husband, I still have 40 minutes of exercise to complete before tomorrow night. I'm going to hop on the bike right now and at least cut that number in half. Tomorrow is the weigh-in too- I'm pretty stoked!
 
Hit 191 for the weigh-in... WOOO! Also completed all my exercise for the week, and looking forward to starting again tomorrow. My husband dropped a good 4 pounds this week too! He played in a softball game for the VFW today. Thanks to a ton of drama (we weren't involved in the drama, but wanted to steer clear), we haven't been there in a long time. To my surprise, a few different people raved at us about how we've lost weight! Matt's lost about 20 pounds, and I've lost 15- didn't think it would be so noticable!

I did drink a beer while I was there, but only one, and only because it was free. I did really well with eating today too. Hooray!

Tomorrow's the first day of this week of weight-loss, and I'm going to make it a good one!

Got some Slim-Fast snack bars today! I haven't eaten anything sugary (well, besides fruit) since I started this round, and I'm happy to have those for serious chocolate cravings. I know they have a lot of calories for their size, but they also have lots of vitamins. I'm taking a multivitamin on days I'm not getting enough, but I'm trying really hard to get my vitamins through my food.

The scale told me I was 189 today. I can hardly believe it, but I'm stoked! It's only Monday and I have until Saturday for the weigh in, so I can definitely lose one or two more pounds, YAY!!!
 
I only have one of those needle scales (analog? or is that just for clocks?), so I take all weigh-ins with a grain of salt, but my mother-in-law's high grade digital scale confirms the 189! Only completely naked, but that's what counts, right?
 
I'm tired of my BMI telling me I'm obese. The good news is that in just four more pounds, I'll only be overweight!


...Screw BMI.
 
I added my dreaded actual starting weight into my ticker. *shudder* I went to the doctor after having been on Zoloft for a year to find THAT. My home scale had broken, and I honestly had no idea my weight had gotten that high. The Zoloft definitely contributed to my weight gain (helluvanappetite), but I know it was my fault.

I've been trying to forget that number, pretend it never existed, but I told my sister yesterday. She was kind enough to remind me that it means I've lost over 20 pounds! So... that's good, but I hate that I was ever at a point that I could lose 20 pounds and still be almost 190.

I really need to get some exercise, been doing only 10-15 minutes the past couple of days. I think I'm going to go play with the dogs for a while. Run around a lot and work up a sweat!
 
I just confirmed plans today to go to Ohio in late August to see my family for my sister's birthday!! Excited about getting to see them, and excited because it gives me a new, shorter term goal to strive for. I have more than 5 weeks before I go, so I'll make sure and lose at least 10 pounds in that time, which would put me at 178. I'd reaaaally like to get down to 170 though! 18 pounds in 5 weeks is a steep goal, but I like to have impossible numbers in mind. It helps me work harder, even if I know I'll never make it.

I'll have to be super-careful while on vacation to not eat too much, but I know I can do it! My mom has a treadmill, plus I'm sure I can use her apartment complex's gym to get an even better workout than I get here.

Still hanging in there around 188, and happy about that.
 
Had 186 for the July challenge, but hoping to hit 185 for my Saturday weigh-in with my husband. I'm not happy with my exercising. I'm doing about 20 minutes of cardio a day, but I always have the intention to do more. I guess it's not a huge deal as long as I keep losing, but I can't help but be disappointed with myself.
 
Funny how I keep going off track. Funny how so many people do. If only we still had to hunt for our food still, things would be so much easier! :)

Anyway, I've only gained back a few pounds (which I consider an accomplishment considering how much I've been eating), back up to around 190. I have about 12 weeks until I see my family for a while before Christmas, and I'd like to have at least lost a little.

The least I'd be happy losing is 10 pounds in those 12 weeks, which should be easy if I can just stick with it! Ideally, I'd like to lose 20 pounds and be a sexy 170. Two pounds a week is usually a pretty easy goal for me to reach, especially considering I tend to blow through the first 10 pounds of weightloss whenever I start. I snack soooo much at night, and taking all that away makes the weight fall off fast for the first few weeks!

I haven't had the motivation for weight loss, and far too much motivation to eat lately. I need to do a serious overhaul on my relationship with food, and I'm ready to do just that. Wish me luck!

I'm going to do one of my obsessive charts now, detailing the minimum and maximum amounts of weight I can lose in these 12 weeks. I'm a little crazy, but it works for me.
