I didn't realize just how much I had gained since I had Megan until some coworkers and I had started talking and the new scale came into work. I thought to myself - oh it can't be that bad so I went and hopped on it and the worst scream came out of the scale - it kept saying 225 225 225 for days afterwards it's all I could focus on was that horrid number - I didn't even weigh that much when I had Megan or David. For years I was at 180 and I was content - not happy but content with that number but at 225 no that's just not ok. SO I got to thinking and remembered the only success was Jorge Cruise's 8 Minutes in the morning - I had lost a good amont of weight with that program so I started to look for the book. I couldn't find it so I started looking for info on the internet but couldnt find the book then Tim was looking for something and found it - so here we go I start tomorrow May 9, 2011. Last week I cut out getting my 20 ounce peppermint mocha's I lost 5 pounds last week. on Friday I weighted myself at work and I was 219 still not good but better, so that's a permanet cut I made - no more peppermint mocha's. I just took the main measurement that I"m worried about which is my tummy - I mean when I look down and I can't tell where my boobs end and my tummy starts that's a bad thing right so the measurment around my tummy at my belly button is 48 inches - yeah I can't believe it either. DAMN
My goal is to be at 140 by Feb 4th 2012. that's 2 pounds a week for 40 weeks - it will be interesting to try this during the holidays and all of our birthdays but by then I'll be an old pro at it and the temptations to eat alot of cake or sweets won't be as bad as it is right now. Since Tim and David don't want to do this with me (at least this program) I have purchased the things I need food wise and asked them not to eat it and when I'm eating my meals with the family - it's more portion control than anything. So every Monday am I am going to post my weight and the measurement of my tummy so I can track how the weight loss is going. I even took a pic of me side view with my gut hanging out in all glory to the world. as soon as I can figure out how to post it here to my blog I will and no I'm not sticking my gut out lol that the natural pose lol
