Weighing In -2015

April 12, 2015 | By Heidi | Filed Under: health, Weighing In, weight watchers | Leave a Comment

Weighing In 2015

Hello… so, my last post in this series – for lack of a better word – was in November, 2014.

At that point, I had lost over 50 by eating healthier, following Weight Watchers, exercising, and really living healthier.

I could go into 1000 excuses or reasons as to why I stopped. But I won’t.

I am beginning again.

I didn’t gain all the weight back that I had lost. I did gain some back and honestly, right now I don’t know what the number is.

It doesn’t matter what the number is.

All that matters is that I am starting again. Anew.

My journey begins again.

This time, I am planning on also writing my feelings during the week as well as my eating/food/weight watchers part. I think I focused on that moreso last time, and this time I want “weighing in” to mean more than just weighing in at the scale.

I want it to mean weighing in on my self, my emotional state, my well being as well as what the scale says.

It all goes hand in hand, ya know.

My loose plans are:

  • Start back at Weight Watchers – this week we start over. Thursdays will still be my day…and now I have no conflicts to keep me from going and staying for the meetings.
  • Exercise – start walking again! I was so committed to walking on a daily basis and I completely stopped. I need to get back to it.
  • Check out a gym – Doing this soon…hopefully before the month is over.
  • Walk this puppy – he has a lot of puppy energy and needs to learn to behave on a leash and I need to walk. 2 birds, 1 stone.

So that is where I am at. New beginnings… even in the 4th month of the year.

How about you? Are you on a healthy journey as well? Link up your blog, instagram, twitter, tumblr, whatever! in the comments so I can follow you and your journey. Have some tips for me? Leave them in the comments as well.

Weekly Weigh In – Week 30

November 5, 2014 | By Heidi | Filed Under: health, Weighing In | Leave a Comment

I know it’s the eve of another weigh in but I wanted to document that I have weeks where I gain as well.

This past week I gained 1.5 lbs. Which puts me at 50.4 lost.

And since I like to show the loss in a visual way and ilostwhat.com makes it so easy…

50lbslost

 

I just want to add that when I weighed in I was wearing a size 18/20 pants and at the beginning of this part of my journey I was in a size 26 pants. Right now I am wearing a pair of my husband’s 2x cotton pajama pants.

I have mentioned the clothing issues in previous posts. I really need to sit down and put all my thoughts about that together. I have been having a really difficult time with shrinking out of clothes and not knowing what my style is.

When you get to a certain size you are limited to where you can find those sizes and whenever I found a top that I felt comfortable in I would get it in every color or multiple colors. Hence why I have 3 short sleeved collar shirts each in a different color. We can wear collared shirts to work…I guess they’re called polo shirts. We can wear them to work. I would have gotten the shirt in 5 different colors, but I just had 3.

Like I’ve said before, I have a whole clothing post in the works. I need to sit and actually put it together.

Does anyone else know where I’m coming from though? Leave me a comment! I’d love to connect with you!

Weekly Weigh In – Weeks 20 – 29

October 26, 2014 | By Heidi | Filed Under: health, Weighing In, weight watchers | Leave a Comment

Ok…so been a while since there has been a weigh in update. AND why is this week’s graphic different than the others…Well, I wanted it to be a little special…because…

Drumroll….

I FINALLY GOT TO 50 LBS LOST!!!!

Insert happy dance here!!!!

Total lost to date is actually 51.9 lbs…or

51

Wow. Whenever I see these graphics from ilostwhat.com I can’t believe I was carrying that weight (and more) around with me every day. Amazing what the human body is capable of.

I did have a few hiccups getting to 50 lbs. I did have a few small gains getting there and a week where I didn’t lose quite enough.

Talk about frustrating!!! Being 0.8 lbs away and losing 0.5 lbs made me want to throw something…but THEN to gain that 0.5 the next week?? UGH.

But….

Here I am on the other side of 50 lbs lost and moving forward.

Here are a couple meal photos from the past week and one of my 50 lb award.

The photos were posted on my Instagram page. Follow me there for more meal photos, inspiration, or to follow along with my life in photos.

I follow a lot of people on Instagram who are on program. I think it’s great to follow people on social media who are going through the same thing that you are. It’s a good support system and a number of them post great inspiration and motivational graphics. Sometimes it helps to just browse through your feed and see something that applies to your day. Makes you feel a little better right on the spot.

So…I am still plugging away on program. I’m stepped up my walking and added an extra 2000 steps to my FitBit goal of 6000…I haven’t met the new goal of 8000 yet, but I just set it on Friday, so hopefully I’ll be able to meet it this week while walking on break and lunch at work.

Thanks to everyone who has been following my journey. I appreciate the support.

I do have a few posts I am working on in my brain. I just need to sit down and write them. One is about the clothing issues I’ve been having It’s a long story and a mess. That will be the next post.

In the meantime though, 75 lbs….I’m coming for you!!

Any questions, comments, words of support, complaints? Leave me a comment!
