Crazy Days!!

Well I can't believe how fast time is flying! Two weeks just vanished before my eyes. I was a little down in the dumps for awhile but getting my groove back. Did yoga today and signed up for a Saturday kick ball team. You ladies are doing amazing, rock on girls!

Not good but not bad!

finally unpacked my scale and got on...didn't loose any really but didn't gain any either...hoping to loose a little more before weigh-in day! Salads...Salads...Salads for me for the next couple days!

Scale is packed in a box!

Well my scale is packed in a box somewhere and I am grateful! I was really doing well at our last weigh in and I actually felt skinnier however, I am not feeling not so skinny now :(. The dining out because of moving and the Easter candy in the office is not helping. The only positive is the house moving has me working out a lot more then usual...I hope this is helping! I plan on breaking out the scale to day or tomorrow...cross your fingers!

Easter Candy!!!!!!!!

Why did my boss have to stock the whole office with bags and bags of Easter candy!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. I was doing so good and now every time I stress out at work (which is a lot!) I gorge my face with Hershey bars!! GRRRRRRRRRR. I normally give up chocolate for lent but I was told that I should give up something that makes me a better person, so my son and boyfriend agreed it should be swearing and yelling...ahahahahahahah!

What day is it?

I'm really not even sure what day it is that's how crazy life is right now!! My desk moved to a different area of the office and it's full of candy and food! I was doing so well on my diet and now i feel like it's all going down hill! Even though I am loosing weight I have not been exercising and my body is starting to look flabby/saggy...ugh! Plus I'm so pale...not a good combo! Must get some sun and on a treadmill ASAP!!!

Well I think I lost weight but can't remember what I weighed in at...that's how crazy life has been these past few weeks. I have not made it to the gym but I have been doing a lot of construction work and my tight budget has me cooking more at home and bringing my lunches to work. I am not very good at blogging but I do enjoy the competition and reading all the wonderful posts from everyone else. Cheers to everyone...wishing month two is just as awesome! Congrats to the winner of Month 1...you rock!!

Week 1 of the 2014 Annie Weight Loss Challenge!

Well I'm off to a great start thanks to a stomach bug! I can't eat much...I guess that's good! However I am too weak to even imagine going to the gym plus I'm not sure where I would find the time in-between full-time job, Mommy job and house renovation!!! We're getting a freezing snow storm tomorrow so maybe some squats and sit-ups at home! My goal for this challenge is 15lbs! Crossing my fingers...I really have not lost more then 10lbs in the last 7 years. I think it's time for a change.

Spring is here!

I need some sun! I can't wait for summer and for my summer body. Going to visit my Mom in sunny southern California in July and I hope to be at my goal weight by then. I want to wear a bikini again!

Feeling good about this!

My feelings about this in the beginning were not that positive but in the last couple weeks I am finally seeing some weight and body changes that are making me really happy!

Feeling alot better about this!

I am still not seeing crazy results but my bad habits are getting much easier to control and doing the good things are feeling much more natural. A little bit more exercise and in a month I should start seeing more results!

Weekends Kill My Diet!

Woo hoo I made it four days to the gym last week. Ate good all week then ka blam the weekend came and so did my bad eating habits. I am now so much better at work because I am busy pounding water and eating my healthy snacks I bring from home. I have found a good solution to the mid-day chocolate craving I have (60 calorie mousse pudding). I think the midnight snacking has stopped however sometimes I do it without even realizing, but there has been no food remnants on the counter when I wake up so that's a good sign. Just now looking for a good solution to weekends with the family you know pizza Friday and movie night Saturday and birthday party Sunday!!! Going to try and get at least 4 days in at the gym again this week but this week is looking a little crazy...wish me luck!

Comfort food!

I was doing so good and then that special time came...and its been all down hill. I have been eating a lot of fruit which is good but too much cheese and chocolate!! I need some low calorie, low fat treats (excluding Jello & Pudding) for this special time. Any suggestions??

Ugh!

Wow what a month! I hope I loose at least one lb. this month, I do feel like mentally I am headed in the right direction I just need to physically get there. I got some good workout videos that I really like and one night did a hardcore weight workout on my own. Not so good the next day for I almost had to call into work because I was pretty much immobile. Thanks to my boyfriend I was able (with his help) to sit on the toilet. I have a really volatile, obsessive relationship with my scale and I am about to dump it...out the $u&%$g window. At this point I am praying I loose at least 1 lb by weigh-in day. Bigger hopes next month :(

I Can Do This!

I can do this...I can do this...I can do this...Almost done with this month and I am feeling a little discouraged. Two crazy weeks at work totalling over 100 hours making it really hard to get to the gym. I made it once last week and once this week hopefully going tomorrow making it twice this week. I ate really well but I am really not seeing any difference in the scale. I need to stay off that thing its almost obsessive. Since my major projects at work are over I am hoping to get more time at the gym.

Healthy back into my life that is....

Ok every day I ask myself how did I get like this? How did I let this happen? This is so not me or maybe it is...I have been this way for 2 years now. I went from years of fluctuating 2-3 lbs to 20 -25 lbs!! I can't blame it on the baby he is four now and I only gained 29 lbs during the pregnancy and was my skinniest ever months after he was born.

Then I started my NEW JOB ugh! 8 hours a day in an office only to get up maybe once for my fat girl lunch, plus I work with 50 of the best bakers in America who bribe me with food to do their job.

I also blame it on the East Coast when I moved here from California I was like Mayo?? what's that? Sausage egg and cheese...disgusting! I stayed strong for about 2 years and then I adapted.."I'll take a double egg, double cheese on a hard roll please". I definitely can't blame it on my boyfriend Peter who works out 5 days a week and has a compulsive shopping habit for mirrors...oh and who also bought me a training package for Christmas!

What matters now is I am approaching 29 and can't imagine spending the last year of my twenties this big! I am going to go back to my old way of thinking and with a little help from friends, family and the gym (thanks Peter) hopefully I can accomplish my goal!
