Ive been stalled for 6 weeks... through the Holidays - that is probably a good thing.. however I need motivation!!!!  Menu ideas too!

Yep, still counting weeks! LOL

I am down a couple more lbs.  I am feeling very happy that the scale moves at all.  I still have about 50 lbs left to lose to be at goal. This will take me all year at this rate, but hey, whos counting. My New Years Resolution is to be at goal by end of year :)  SO for now its the little victories.. like, buying a pair of Levi's yesterday, in a size 12!!! Yep, so happy New Year to me!!!!

So I have been slacking on the updates, I have been really torn about what to write. I had my one year check up on October 10th :) Loved it but missed my goal of Onerland by 4 lbs...

HOWEVER - just a couple weeks past that and I am officially at 199.2 as of last Friday! :)

I have gotten away from the vitamins - so getting back on track now... and same with gym, though I have been going, now I am going to kick it up a notch and have decided to start training to do either a Triathlon or a 1/2 marathon... wish me luck!

Okay so its been a few weeks since i dropped in on this... I feel like I am out of sorts.  I'm still losing, slowly, but still moving it lb by lb. :)

Whats not happening is I still, yes STILL cant get myself on track with my vitamins. I know its important and i have no excuse.  I am eating all day long, how I am supposed to and making sound choices of what it is and in what amounts... but it seems like I'm doing okay with everything BUT vitamins. Well at least mostly everything. I have been skipping out ton routine workouts and opting for various forms of it instead over this summer... like I coach soccer 3 nights a week and running after little kids and kicking a ball around is hard work. Then I bike ride and walk a ton... but not really doing my swimming these past few weeks and weights.. well I lift copier paper, does that count???

I am staring down the muzzle at Onederland and a size 14... Motivation enough... but would love suggestions to push me there???

So - I went to support group last night and did my weigh in... :) I was down more!  I hadn't realized I was still coming down in weight. Thought I was stalling... but I guess its just not showing yet. Feeling thankful and was blessed to tell my story to some newbies.  That was encouraging. Reaffirmed my goal to hit Onderland by Oct 1 at my one year surgaversary... wish me luck!

So I skipped writing for a few weeks - I'm totally to blame. I have been emotionally swamped with life. I can tell I'm not begin good to myself, I feel run down and I have been sick I am completely off track and it just seems hard to get motivated to get back on...

Feeling great this past week. Really feeling motivated to be outdoors and hiking biking etc... something different than in a gym :)  Weight is slow to come off, but the inches are still sliding!  I pulled out the box of small 18s and 16s.. 18s too big and fit nicely (no sucking here) into a pair of Levi's 16s... This girl is feeling happy this day.

I am still having trouble with remembering vitamins... and also developed a new craving for coffee - spent my whole life avoiding it, never liked the taste nor the effects of the caffeine, just smelling it would give me jitters and wake me up... but these past two or so weeks I have been grabbing a cup now and then... :( need to break this before is starts!  Wish me luck.

Well I am 41 weeks out, I also just happen to be 41 years young and feeling not a day over 25.  I (partially) ran a 5 k on Saturday.  I really like these fun runs.  This one after I actually had energy to stick around and dance and ump up and down for an hour with a crowd in hot heat.  I thank God every day for these little NSVs!!!!

I didn't weigh myself this week but I know I am losing again, my snug pants are no longer snug and my work clothes are starting to need a couple stitches in the sides :)  Feeling renewed.

I am excited.  I had my 9 month check up with EVERYONE and was very excited to step on the scale.  Lately I feel I haven't been losing, but getting on the scale proved me wrong.  No, I am not moving as fast as I was 6 months ago... or even 3 months ago... but compared to a year ago, I am so THRILLED.

Stepping on a scale and have it read 223... yes, 223... 24 lobs from ONEDERLAND!!!!  It kicked me into high gear... I will be doing another 5k this Saturday, I got a bike (helmet to boot) and new backpacking gear... I am ready, bring on the new challenge.. I want to get this next 25 off in sweat effort!

As for stats, I am on track and doing nicely.  I will be kicking up my vitamin D... and changing up my gym routing (which I have been doing for the past few weeks)  I was out of state traveling for a funeral last week, didnt eat on the normal schedule but I filled the car with lots of Jerkey, nut, and waters... fruit also made it on the menu... I couldn't resist the roadside stands.  :)

Alrighty, wish me luck 12 weeks to go til 1 year... I NEED to get this show on the road!

So the needle didn't move, but I was able to walk up to the top deck of the baseball stadium and enjoy it and leave my seat several times to go down then back up... not winded at all :) Happy NSV!!!!
