Almost a Year later....

WOW! I can't believe that almost a year has passed since I last posted. I would love to say that I am back 50 lbs thinner, but that would be a big fat lie!! But I am still the same weight and will be about 20 lbs less here shortly. I am currently 33 weeks pregnant and have maintained my pre-pregnancy weight which means after delivery I will weigh less than when I started. Now I just need to have 5 more babies to get down to my goal weight. *snicker*snort*

I am planning on picking up here again, but this time it will be not only about weight loss but about life in general for a chubby chick. The fat life can be embarrassing, entertaining and downright crazy! Those that struggle with their weight will understand, I am sure. Maybe we can lose weight together. Or if not, at least commiserate together!

where's my wagon?

I am so far off the weight loss wagon that I cannot even find it anymore! I am going through a no appetite phase which sounds good in theory. In reality it means that I am hungry, but since nothing sounds good I snack on unhealthy foods to curb the hunger. I am not cooking and planning, just snacking. BAD! I have been fighting a migraine for a few days so this is making me very tired which in turn keeps me from exercising. Aunt Flo is on her way out (finally!) so maybe I can get back on track. The worst part of it all is that I have to go through sugar withdrawal all over again. bleh!

Weight loss is NO FUN!

Why is it that putting the weight ON is filled with ooey, gooey goodness, but the taking it off is, well, not? The trip to chubbyville was a lot more fun than the one to the land of the lean. I did really well on Wednesday and Thursday. And last night I got a candy bar. And today breakfast was a second candy bar and a cup of coffee. Not much nutritional value there! Dinner was pizza. Where, oh where has my willpower gone?? Tomorrow is my mom's birthday and I made her chocolate covered cherries, marshmallows and pretzels. I nibbled on a few. And snacked o a few more. *hangs head in shame* Then my niece came over and we made her a few candies and, well, you know the rest.

Tomorrow is a new day and I hope to do better. Though I will be up early and a Pepsi is already calling my name. Not the same Pepsi that I had tonight either, but a fountain one. MMMM Nothing tastes better than an ice cold fountain Pepsi. Sunday I will be good. If not, then Monday for sure!

Gym today!

I went to the gym today!! Go me! I did not sleep well last night so I was debating on whether or not to take a nap. I decided to go to the gym instead of nap!!! And I am down 1 more pound for a total of 6-lbs!! WOO HOO!!! It feels good to do something healthy for myself. I want to go to the gym more but I have to ask my dr about it tomorrow. I am not supposed to exercise "too much" but I am not really sure what that means. I should know tomorrow though!

A Speedbump

Right after I posted that the scale moved I went and gorged on junk food. Go figure!! I had sodas, fried chicken, cupcakes, brats, and other yummy unhealthy foods. I have no idea what possessed me to eat like I was on death row, but I did. And it is over now. Today I jumped back up on the horse and am doing my best. I am not going to allow myself to get discouraged over this most recent set back. I am going to work harder at eating healthy and exercising. At least until the next food craving hits.........

The scale is moving!!!

It is about time! The scale is moving.....in the right direction, that is. Originally I had lost 5-lbs but I quickly gained them back. I had assumed that it was because of my pending visit from aunt flo, but she has yet to arrive (due tomorrow-ish) but lo, and behold, the scale moved today. I am down about 3-lbs and I am hoping that when PMS and AF leave it may move some more. It is so exciting to see some results!!! I cut down more on the carbs and that seems to have helped me. I am one of those really lucky women that have PCOS and carbs are a no-no for me. Well, unhealthy carbs anyway. And not too much of the good ones either. I am also walking more so that helps too. Now I need to get my butt in gear and start exercising ! BLEH!!!

well..............

I have kind of avoided posting cause I am not doing as well as I should be. Though I am not doing too bad either. Aunt Flo is knocking on my door so I am fighting cravings and bloating. I am really hoping that once she is gone I can see some movement on the scale. If I don't lose any weight soon I am going to buy a bag of large peanut M&Ms and a 44 oz Pepsi!

I must admit that I do feel better without all of the sugar and salt. I rarely have cravings and I have more energy. And it is no longer a chore to eat healthy. I just hope that it works!!!
