Can you say.....SORE!!!!

Ok.....If I knew now that I would be so incredibly sore...I would have never stopped working out when I started a few years ago. I look back on that time and vividly remember that I got through the first month and felt incredible. I was full of energy....felt my body changing....felt strong and limber. I wish I could fast forward but......My dear friend says to me that Pain is weakness leaving the body!!! I must be pretty weak because I am in a ton of pain. It is good pain though. I'm BAAAACCCKKKK! I also got on the scale last friday....OMGOSH!! Why didn't someone tell me how I had ballooned! 215 is NOT where I will be a month from now. OK...I said it. How awful! Love you all and your support!

getting my grooooooove back!!!

Life is so getting in my weigh....I mean way! I am having a difficult time staying focused on ME! I know that this is a daily struggle until I can get my groove. I have had the groove so I do know how it feels. I just gotta get it back. I am turning my page as we speak. I am so tired of being so tired. .........tomorrow is a new page!!

Ok....I am back.

Actually I have been back for a week now. I restarted my weight again at 212. After the first week I was down 6 lbs to 206. Now...my last weigh in was 205. So Tracy.....here we go. I was so sad last night to see a member of the yellow team go. He so needs to be there but the after show interview was amazing to see how far he had gone on his own. WE CAN!!!! My issue is food as well so today I have started LOGGING everything that enters my mouth. What a difference it makes. I will not post any pictures yet....just suffice it to say that my gut is hanging over all of my pants. I want to stay in my jammies all day just for comfort. But when I put on my tight clothes.....then it makes me want it even more. So....here we go...time to turn the page!!

No news is not always good news...same ole

June is halfway done and so is Disneyland....thank goodness!! One thing about Disneyland regarding weight. As we walked around I was amazed at how many people that I saw that were obese. I am considered obese but....holy cow....and I mean cow. You know when you see someone who is in a motorized chair who pulls up to a hot dog stand, gets out of the chair long enough to order 5 dogs, gets back into the chair to ride around because they are too big to go the distance. What an eye opener! I know that Idaho has its share of overweight people but at Disneyland alone....not only the tourists...but some of the workers. Maybe I was just sick of seeing my own reflection and I paid more attention to it. I am home now and back to the grind. As for my weight....no change...Pretty good for vacation (and I got sick on Saturday).

Stay tuned!

It can't be June already!!!

OK....I know. I have been a slug for the past month...(and a half). The fact that I got married and am trying to get used to another body in the house...much less in my bed, and May typically is so busy with baseball and end of the school year stuff I think that I did ok. I didn't work out like I should have and my eating went right out the window. But now it is June and the start of a new month and a re-energized Lisa. Tracy....you are a great inspiration...keep it up. Nik, 1 mile is a good start for a race....so....game on!!!! See you at the finish line (I am sure that you will have to wait a few minutes).

Love you guys,

Lisa

Down 3 more...so sloooooooooooooow!

After having such a bad week I will take any loss that I can. I ate better and went to the gym faithfully. I will post a new photo later. I have a feeling that next weeks loss might not be as great considering (its m-cycle time) I will be bloating and a bit grouchy. Poor Brian. One week before he is to spend eternity with me and I am a bit not like myself. Anyway see you soon.

Lisa

I know....I know....???

Ok....the reason that I didn't post on Sunday is because I was so upset at myself. I didn't get into the gym but twice (I was exhausted) and my eating was terrible. With so much that went wrong (again...my fault) I was surprised to find that I didn't gain. But....on the flip side...I didn't lose either. So........today is wednesday. I have been in 3 days this week and my eating is great. Brian is now out of tax season and he is going with me. It helps to have someone else to count on being there who is counting on you as well. Stay tuned....better results to come on Sunday!!

Lisa

Ok....what is up with this?!!!

The scale is stuck!!! Or I am gaining muscles. I will take the latter and work harder this week. I guess it could be worse. I could have gained. You will have no picture this week but stay tuned for next week. I hope to have a bigger loss. I have been stressed out because of all the wedding plans and kids activities. Stress doesn't help with weight loss so I will find a good de-stresser and let you all know how it works for this week.

Lisa

Ok...Beware...This is ugggggllllyyyyyy!!!!!

Yikes....look at those arms, gut,...Tracy....be brave!!!

OK...I know...I can't even get these buttoned. But....I will...I CAN!!!

Back in the Game...at 5am!!!

Ok...I am trying something new. I am going to the gym at 5am. I find that I am just too tired to feel the pain!!! I also love having my day start off early so that I can get so much more done. I will be posting a picture of me soon.....another YIKES!! I will wear the same outfit (once I choose one) so that my progress can be seen. Happy day!!!

Lisa

Crazy couple of weeks!

I have been so busy with wedding plans. My kids have been gone. I went to Salt Lake to get my dress. Ex was back in town. Although a bit stressful I am down 5 pounds from when I started. I also am adding a new goal. I quit drinking soda!!! I am a cold turkey kind of gal!!! I am on my 4th day and the headaches are gone. Water is my best friend. This next week will be the clincher....getting back into the gym. I CAN!!!!

Going...Going...Gone....Well....slowly.

Here is the first day of the rest of my....life? My journey has started several times only to come right back to square one. So....my friend Tracy is blogging her weightloss journey and hopefully for the last time....this will work for me. I am only sending this blog to a select few because of the personal nature and struggle that I have with losing weight. Please feel free to write what you feel and the more encouragement the better. Thank you for going along with this ride. I am sure that there will be straight, downhill moments and well as curvy, uphill mountains to climb. I am getting married in 7 weeks and I know that I don't want to be seen by my sweetie....like this. So here we gooooooooooooo!

This is so awful....I hate pictures of me!!
