New Year, New ME!

Who is as excited for this new year as I am?!  Well, I'm excited and terrified.  For the first time in my life, I have no clue what's in store for me this year, but I can just feel change around the corner.  I like to have some control over my life, so I'd like to have one change that was inspired by me...and you guessed it, this year is going to be the year I loose ALL of my chub!  And hopefully, it will be before the summer.
I know that I came back in October all gunghoe about starting back up...but then the election happened, which ruined me! haha
So, here I am, making a resolution to take care of myself this year.  Put myself first, and take care of something that has been a burden for far too long.

My first goal: to get to 220.  (I'm not sure what I am at right now, and I just ate, so I'll weigh in tomorrow.  I know, I'm not the most responsible blogger.)

My plan: Food: Stick to my Medifast meal plans.  Plan ahead.  Don't eat out.
Exercise:  Not this month.  I need to get back on track with my calories, which means I need to get my body used to having a smaller calorie intake.

So, there you go.  I'll report back tomorrow on my current weight, and we'll get back into this whole accountability blogging business.

Short and sweet this time.

xoxo

Farewell to 60

Image
It may have taken me a little over a month to lose 10 more pounds, but I did it!! I'm finally down to 60 pounds lost!!!  This is honestly insane, and I can't fully express my emotions. 60 pounds.  Wow.  I've expressed this before to a few friends, but, when I was at 30 pounds down it was a big deal, but I didn't really see the big picture.  60 pounds proves that I have done something hard.  That I am MORE than half way to my goal.  It's kind of mind blowing to think about!  Like I said, I can't fully express the emotion. To put it 60 pounds into perspective: I've lost that much fat!  How gross is that!?!? I love to see pictures that show my progress, since I see myself everyday I don't really notice it.  Last August I went to San Francisco with some good friends to see some Giants v. Braves games.  So, here's a picture showing 7 months difference: So the left is August 2012 and the right is today, March 15, 2013. My how 20 lbs. makes

My Goals...NOT Resolutions

Image
Just a quick update on my week:  I've done good!  It was my birthday, and I even went out to eat a few times and I still lost weight!  I've stayed on track with my new healthy lifestyle, and I am SO happy! Like I said last week, I have goals that are different from my resolutions.  My resolutions are set to help me become a better person.  My goals are just things I want to accomplish.  So here are my list of goals for 2013:  (Some of them are motivated by my weight loss.) 1.  Go skydiving.   I already have a few friends that are on board to do this.   You have to be at least 200 lbs. before you can go skydiving.    So this one is a goal and kind of a reward.   SO excited! Do you like my awesome "Paint" project? :) haha 2.  Pay off debt.  I'm not swimming in it, but I am a student who doesn't really qualify for grants or scholarships. 3.  Get an Ipad.  Yup. :) 4.  Hike Havasupai.     My weight has always held me back when it comes t

First Off...Introductions

I've struggled with the thought of starting a blog.  Who am I to think that I'm important enough to have one?  No one will read it.  Then I thought to myself, "Maybe one person will, and maybe that person needs some help on their journey." Also, the thought of starting a blog about my weight loss journey terrifies me!  I don't want to put my weight up for the world to know...but if that number keeps falling, who cares, right? :) To begin. I have, pretty much, always been the chubby girl.  I gained weight when I was about 7 or 8, and it just kept piling on. One of the first steps to losing weight is: understanding WHY you gained it in the first place.  So, why did I gain my weight?  Simple, I'm an emotional eater.  My life has been amazing!  But has it been full of sunshine and daisies, unicorns and rainbows?  No.  Life's been hard.  If things get hard or stressful or sad, I eat. When I was 8 my mom got REALLY sick.  She was diagnosed with kidney fai
