Jeans

Oh dear, we went to try on jeans the other day because I have literally nothing in my closet that fits me... Shirts are still too little around the belly and pants are falling down because they are too big. Well, the whole experience was depressing. I could squeeze into a 27 because the lady working at the Buckle told me to go a size smaller because after wearing the jeans for a little while they stretch out... So, that was ok, but the top of the jeans, oh my.... of course they were low rise, so my belly hung over the top and my muffin tops rolled over the sides. My husband did like how they looked in the back though. I tried some high rise on, but the crotch bagged up something terrible and they flattened my butt, so they were out too.... Needless to say, we left an hour later jeanless. Blah... better step it up a notch or 2.

Running is paying off~ hooray!!

Well, I am finally steady at 130. Last Thursday Don trained me for an hour and a half and I got down to 129!!!! But, of course back up to 130 after I drank some water. He kicked my butt, I am still sore from that workout.... But, my husband is really happy with the way my body is coming along, he says it's tighter than before kids... well, except for the belly part. It's still there, but maybe going away a little bit. I still need a girdle, but my legs and thighs and muffin tops are trimming up. I still want to get to 125 by Thanksgiving, I don't know if it'll happen, but I have been running 7 miles every other day (M-F) and running 3 and doing toning on the days in between. I have also cut calories down to 1200 per day and have added going to the gym on Sunday afternoons which has made a difference as well. Also, instead of 2 or 3 diet cheat days, only 1- on Thursday night date night... and no drinks... just water... But, at least it's finally started to pay off... About 10 more pounds and I am getting new jeans!!!!

131 Still!!!

Yeah, last week I was 131 all week... except one day I was 130 and I was so excited... but, Josh and I had a date at Red Lobster and even though I tried to behave, I went back up to 131. But, that's ok, at least I am not back up to 136! I have been running, running, running. Friday I ran 7 miles, then did 1.5 on the elliptical to try to run the Red Lobster off. I am going to run tomorrow too. I have been running 5 on Monday, 3 miles on Tuesday... like that all week and taking the weekends off, but Josh thinks I should only take one day off, so I am going to go in and run tomorrow.... I am excited, hopefully this is working.... well, I have been counting calories too... and eating every 4 hours. Trying to only eat 1200-1400 per day.... I really, really want to break 130 this week!!! Wish me luck. And people at the gym have started to tell me that they can tell I have lost some weight... Man, it's only been 5 months..... but, results are finally starting to be seen.

131

Still at 131!!!! I was shocked... hmmm, I wonder where I am losing weight from because my belly is bigger, doesn't make sense. it feels like someone attached a rock to my belly and i am carrying that weight around.... anybody want to donate to a lypo fund?? I was very strict today and only ate 1200 calories, eating small, tiny meals every 4 hours. I ran 5 miles, did the elliptical for 150 calories, and then did a little toning. I am dying to go into my kitchen and eat about 2 or 3 Reeses Christmas trees and then chug milk from the gallon container.....I need self control.....

Starting over

Well, I was down to 131, and now know I am way up... with the kids being sick and me missing the gym so much, I have gained at least 5 pounds. I will weigh in tomorrow... and I have to start over and get back in the 5 mile a day routine... because it was working for awhile. I saw on Biggest Loser that Bob says to eat small meals, every 4 hours, so I am going to start that tomorrow too. I would really, really like to lose weight by Thanksgiving.
