Weigh in Wednesday!

Has it really been a week already? And what is that big bright thing in the sky?

Hopefully a sign that summer is around the corner. I'm beyond ready for that.

So were back at another weigh in day. I cant say that I was super happy with today's weigh in.

I weighed in at 194.4. That is one pound lost since last week. Its not a gain but I was hoping for more.

I did measure today as well. I lost 1/2 an inch in my arms and 1 inch in my hips. So it is working even if the scale isn't reflecting that. My two week goal was 190. So that's 4.4 pounds in a week now. We will see.

I wanted to share what I had for lunch. They were so good! Give them a try. I didn't put syrup on mine I just added a little peanut butter instead. I only used one egg as well. Cut down on calorie intake :)

Enjoy the rest of your week!!

Weigh in Wednesday...because my son hogs my computer

So i know its Thursday...

I did weigh in yesterday though. 

Its spring break here and Troy lives on the computer. 

I finally managed to steal it away for a bit.

So right to weigh in. 

I weighed in at 195.4!!
That's a total of 15.5 lbs lost so far!

So I'm on day 18 of Core De Force.

This week has been rough. Is been back to back long workouts.
Several resulting in me almost puking after wards. 

(I said they were hard!)

Like soaked with sweat after every workout!

The harder part though is my eating. I actually have been doing really well. 

I do take a hunger suppressant because i feel like it helps me control the snacking that i would do otherwise. 

I usually have a shake or some Ezekiel bread after my workout. 

Then another shake for lunch. 

Then i eat a reasonable dinner. 

I know what to eat. That's not the hard part. 

The hard part is not putting the stuff i shouldn't eat in my mouth. 

Can i get an amen?? 

I am setting myself small goals that lead up to my larger goal.

Next small goal is to be 190 in two weeks time. 

I am confident i can do it! 

Weigh in Wednesday!! Did you miss me??

Weigh in Wednesday!!

Did you miss me at all???

Hey Hey!!

How has everyone been??

It has seriously been a year since I have posted a blog, A YEAR!!!

What the what?!?!

Reading the last few blogs I posted last year brings me back to a rough place.

One year ago I was in the process of finding out that I had cancerous cells in a nodule on my thyroid.

Since then I had the right side of my thyroid removed.

They sent off tissue from the thyroid its self to be tested.

Praising God that the cancer was contained in the nodule, therefore no radioactive iodine or chemo of any type was necessary.

I have struggled a little with my weight and with some adverse affects of having some of my thyroid removed. My levels get checked often and have came back "normal" so far.

I say "normal" because things aren't normal.

So I am not on any medication at this point.

At this point I am trying to control symptoms with my diet, exercise and natural alternatives.

That brings me to the next part of this post!

I have been watching my diet the last few months.

Things got a little out of control right after thanksgiving and I watched my weight balloon up.

I was miserable. After the holidays I weighed in.

I was almost in shock when I saw the number on the scale.

You guys know that I have always been an open book and honest with my posts.

So here goes......I weighed in a 210.9! Insert tears here......

I wanted to cry. 

I feel like I do so well March through September and then the weigh creeps back on and by January I am starting all over again!

I'm so over it. I refuse to do that again this year.

So to update you on what I am doing currently.

I am currently doing a workout by beach body called Core De Force. I really like it!

Reminds me a little of insanity. 

You guys remember my insanity journey...I lost 40 pounds that summer! 

As far as nutrition goes. I am currently doing 1-2 frozen fruit shakes a day, then a sensible dinner.

I weighed in this morning.

Drum roll please......198.8!

I was hoping for a little more but ill take it!

I plan to start running again this week.

I had been running but my planter fasciitis flared up so bad that I could barely walk. So I had to stop for a while.

I am signed up to run a half marathon in September though.
This has been a goal of mine for years and I cant wait to conquer it!

For now I will leave you with this.

If you tell yourself you cant, you wont.

If you tell yourself you can, you will!
