Checking In

So no weigh in wednesday this week. i was up 3 lbs on wed. with no intent to share that, but it's been eating away at me. I know my problem is that 5-8pm time frame when I should go to the gym, but instead cook for my family who would be just as happy heating up a hot pocket as opposed to a real meal. why do i talk myself out of the best things for me! today, i plan hitting the gym after work. we discovered a leak in our kitchen coming from under our kitchen sink/dishwasher area on Wednesday. Our dry wall is getting removed today for water damage...that means no kitchen til Monday...maybe this is the jump start i needed. I brought all the healthy perishables in to work with me today. and plan on drinking shakes all weekend. My kids and husband would much rather get take out or enjoy my MIL's cooking so I'll focus on that possibly participating in skinnymeg's 12 week challenge...i'll update you next week! thank you for your comments on this blog and IG. i really appreciate positive feedback! Hope your weekend's a little more comfortable than mine! Bye! 

Binge Eating

I was on a great roll yesterday...had a protein shake for breakfast, Zumba at lunch, salad and sandwich....and then i bought Pringles.....cheddar, not just one single serve can but 2, and then went home and ate 2 breaded chicken sandwiches...delicious! i had this insatiable appetite...it's not that time of the month yet. and even if, i can control myself. then this morning i went to the bathroom, and yes, aunt flow was here. I've increased my water consumption today. but i was already up 3 lbs this morning. like really WTF, why why why why can't i control myself. granted i didnt eat a whole pizza. but it sure feels like it! might as well LOL! i know i shouldn't kill myself over it, but man you think you got it under control, and then you realize that wait yes you are in control...here's a little article on binge eating while on your period sigh, i gotta keep myself accountable all weekend! no excuses!! i definitely want to be down at least a pound by next Wednesday! Stay in control my friends!

Weigh In Wednesday

My first WIW! On Thursday! Heyyyy, I started this journey 01/27/14, and I am now at a place, I can share my actual numbers with you. I lost my first 59 lbs. with the help of a weight loss program offered through my doctor's office. Now, I am relying on myself to lose the next 10, 20...50 on my own free will! This week I will focus on my water and veggie consumption. I wanna drink at least 64oz of water a day and eat 5 servings of veggies a day. I use my MyFitnesspal for tracking, kxrivera. See you Wednesday!

199

Good Morning! I'm starting to hit that 200 lb. wall.....sigh....i know i know it's a mental game. that 199 seems like a mere illusion that is so close yet so far. i keep reminding myself 199. 199. 199. that's really my only goal right now. in the midst, of this journey to 199, i have decided to join a diet bet as soon as i replace my debit card. today. i signed up for zumba here at work this week. i know i know im spoiled. starts next tuesday. and i'm def upping my meal replacements from today through Monday. hopefully 06/09/14 = 199. that will put me at 60 lbs of weight loss. my secondary goal is chip away as much as i can throughout this summer. i would LOVE to be at 169 by my yearly physical. which i already scheduled to keep me motivated. it was my family physician that recommended me to my weight loss program. and i wouldnt be writing this today if he hadnt helped me. i have even inspired my old boss to join in on this weight loss journey. that truly hits home. i never would have thought i would be inspiring in the weight loss world, but here i am and 169 here i come!!!
