"Diet"

First of all I'd like to say I lost 3.1 pounds this past week!!! It's a nice feeling to be at a weight I can't even remember the last time I weighed that much! :) 273.8 pounds OH YAY!!!

Now-I want to know what you think when you hear the word "diet"?

I personally don't like the word, because of an attitude of my mom that she got from Dr. Phil.

To me a"diet" is a short term thing, a quick fix, it's a fad. I'm after a life style change! I don't want lose weight to gain it back or go from one crazy thing to another. Anyways, the reason for the diet question is a friend has used that word a lot about my eating habits and in a way it bugs...BUT then I think who really cares what they call it Because the recognize that I AM losing weight!!!! Let me know your thoughts on "diets".

I'm really wanting to give up...

BUT then I remember I'm 4 pounds away from having lost

40 pounds!!!

"Before" was taken November 2009

"After" was taken May 2011

Can you see a difference?!

"There's no shame in losing weight" --Justin from The Biggest Loser

When I get discouraged by a small weight lose I'll think of this quote!

I AM losing weight and doing what need to be, I'll get there in time!

Another thing from a recent biggest loser episode...Brett took his team out to hike and be in nature. I personally can't wait till it is warm and I can exercise outside!

Bring on the warm weather!!!

Results

DOWN 1.1 ---a whole pound finally!!!

Results is what I want...Results is the reason I might have tried out for The Biggest Loser.
I decided not to tryout, Because I need to prove to my self that I CAN do it on my own.
(Of course with the support of all my family and friends)
I think The Biggest Loser is great show, that I love to watch.
However I don't know that I really need/want to go though all that it would Intel.

So that means you still have to put up with me cause I'm not off LA to be come the next reality star! Ha ha

Biggest Loser

If all goes like planned I will be trying out for The Biggest Loser!!! Crazy huh??!!

I really don't think I'll make ....However I don't want to look back and go "What if..."

Funny thing is a co work said "Sorry I don't think your big enough to make it on."

I though it was really sweet and nice, totally made my day! :)

Oh in other new I gained 0.2 pounds. Psh I can take that off easy!!!

Trial and Error

I wish I could find something that worked!! I hate the really good week (-4.0 pounds), followed by okay weeks ( 0.9) pounds and THEN there is bad weeks (+anything!).
I would love to have consistency even if it was just down one pound, I'd at least know what I was doing was working. This week was an "okay week" down 0.7 pounds!!!

I want to start doing a "spotlight" on people who help, inspire, motivate encourage me!
First of KAYLA PORTER!!! I'm lucky enough to work with her, she is amazing! Everytime I see her she ask how my weeks been going. Giving me suggetions on what to eat, things to do for works out. She always so proud when I "run" no matter how fast a go. Haha Also she'll text me though out the week and on friday to see how I'm doing. Not only does she do all that she walk the talk making her a great example!!! I'm very grateful to have Kayla in my life! :)

L.O.V.E

Let

Obstacles

Vanish

Effortlessly

For Valentine's Day I though this saying was appropriate.

We all face obstacles and with effort hopefully they vanish.

As for as my weight 0.9 pounds "vanished" from me!

For the record it was -1.0 pounds not -10 pounds in two weeks!

Hahahaha

(I think I'm funny)
