lose weight

lately my weight has been 117lbs which is just annoying because I was 112-114 for months. i’m not sure if it’s due to going to the gym but it definitely makes me feel heavier all around. bummer.

anyway, i want to reach 103 lbs so that is 14 lbs. i really don’t have a plan for getting there…i know eating junk food really keeps me from reaching my goal weight. that and i have never been that weight so it is hard to imagine getting there. anyway, off to hit the gym! :)

i’ll try to think of a plan in the coming days…

when i eat CLEAN the pounds just DROP. i was around 117ish all last week and then I ate:

-cereal with almond breeze
-chicken soup with brown rice
-huge peach
-chicken soup with brown rice again…both big bowls

TA DA, my weight was down to 115. gosh, going to eat right!

I AM:

-going to reach my goal weight of 103 by the end of this year with ease and the healthy way. yay!

i was maintaining for quite some time, then took a work trip and ate around the clock eating out (but i didn’t think it was tragic) and came back at about 118. this is beyond frustrating because i can just tell it’s getting bad. :/ i totally don’t mind maintaining but going UP?! oh noo i didn’t.

anyway, to remedy i guess i may post here more often just to keep myself accountable. my GW is 103-105 so if i just say i’m going for 105 now that is 13 pounds. gosh seems so far away but i am going to clean up my eating and i’m going to continue going to the gym. even if i gain weight from muscle i hope to lose some of the ‘softness.’

today i was 113.2, down from 117 i’d seen for the past 2 days and down from the 115.6 i’d seen all of last week. just hope it stays that way!

if i’m 113 then that’s great and means i just have 10 more pounds to go til my ultimate lean mean fighting machine dream weight. i just know i DO have the extra ta go! and can’t wait to have it turn into lean muscle. so in that way, if i don’t make that weight i’ll be fine because muscle does weigh more than fat. i just ideally would like to be at the lowest BMI for my height, while being healthy and the fittest i can be. definitely a work in progress! i am SO happy i joined a gym though. it just feels like ‘me’ time and i love it.

shall keep you posted!

I think I’m currently around 113ish and am hoping to get to 103 asap! Haha…my body is taking it super slow but I also know I haven’t been trying hard to lose. Perhaps this week will kick start my loss. I’m hanging with friends on Saturday and would love to surprise em even more—I’ve never been the skinny one but I’m well on my way. ;)

Also at a lovely 103 everything will fit amazingly (clothes-wise) and I’ll be at my ideal BMI of 18.5 wow, makes me long for it just thinking of what I’ll look like. I want to be toned and fit—can’t wait!

I just checked my height today and indeed I’m 5’2.5” so my goal weight that I’m aiming for is 102. Yesterday morning I was 111 so that’s 9 lbs to go. I’m not sure how long it will take to get there but as long as I do it healthily and eat properly, I don’t mind it taking awhile. The main thing is I have lost 27 lbs to date and for that I’m quite proud!

Also I’m going to get back in a routine of exercise because I certainly don’t want to be skinny and un-toned. And I’d rather prefer a higher weight with a tight rockin bod. ;) hehe.

Wow, just looked at a calender and I could reach that weight by the end of July if I just lost a pound a week. Too bad for me I am not a calorie-counter and therefore can’t guarantee a loss of anything by that date…I just eat when my body tells me to, but I can’t say it’s failed me. Anyway, it’s good to have small, measurable goals and for now I’ll just eat cleaner and start the exercise back.

so i haven’t checked my weight for the last 2 weeks (at least, might have been longer). and much to my delight i DID lose weight over that course of time. for about a week i ate clean and well, when i went to nyc, i had pizza & a bagel with lots of cream cheese just about every day and practically no fruit or vegetables. i did do a lot of walking though. anyway, today i jumped on the scale and i am 111.6 lbs. sweeeet! ah it’s so nice to see a change and kind of a big one (i was 115-116 last time i checked). so thankful to be going back down and just in time for the party this weekend which i still need to shop for! only 6 more pounds til i reach my goal – yippee!

2 weeks from now, as in a mere 14 days there will be a wrap party that i’m going to and will use as motivation to reach something below 115. that will be my intent although i’d be ridiculously elated if i was 110 or below. ah, that’d be a miracle! i haven’t weighed myself recently though so i’ll check my starting weight perhaps tomorrow?

anyway i’d like to look good because of old faces i’ll see and gosh darn it i am going to do it!!! WISH ME LUCK and i’ll update! now to find the perfect outfit….;)

10 more to go – the last stretch of my weight loss! i am not going to rush anything but giving up sweets & dessert is actually LIBERATING! and i’m loving my exercise to look forward too on a daily basis, it really makes me feel accomplished. :)

11 pounds is it for me to reach my goal weight. when i think about it, it’s kinda measly, no? i don’t know if it’s because i’m soo close i can taste it or if it’s getting out of 110-ville that i can’t seem to wrap my head around it or if i’m afraid i can’t maintain it or what.

point is, i’ve lost 21.5 as of today and only have 11 more to go.

i’m going to stick to my 30 day shred and no sweets throughout the month of march and see where it takes me.

it’s all about making small changes you can stick to and we CAN do this!
