Week 18 Weigh In and Radom thoughts....

Happy Tuesday, can you believe the 4th of July is over? I cannot. I had an amazing time this weekend with family and friends. I truly love this holiday. Here a few pictures from over the weekend...(which freaks me out as I have never really posted a picture of myself...)

This is me at Kings Garden Vineyard  I am very lucky that we live in wine country...and that I love it!

PBR and I outside of Wagner. They have an amazing brewery.

My sister and I at the parade on the 4th.

This picture is totally for my sister, she loves a patrotic tootsie roll-can't blamer her!

Next up the weekly weigh in.  I cannot believe it when I read the Wii this morning! I actually weighed myself 3 times, just to make sure and triple checked-ha!

Pounds this week: 6

Total pounds: 40

 

Sorry I need to say this:

HOLY CRAP!!!!! 

Ahhhh, so exciting! I actually might cry-I am really proud of myself. Honestly. I have been a little low lately (emotionally) and really needed this. I did. I never thought when I started this I would see that. Wow!

 

I have set another goal-because thats how I roll (did you catch that ryhming?)-by August 7 I want to loose 10 lbs. Making that an even 50 (huh, what, wait a minute did that say 50?). You are probably thinking why that day? Becaue that's when I go to the Speidie Fest and CY is going to be there. HA! 

 

I am happy to report on this Tuesday its going to be a glorious, sunny, fun filled, happy Tuesday! I hope there is something today that makes you feel awesome as I do right now.

(Oh-and I have another little secret I have to ask permission to blog about first :) )

Week 17-Back on Track

Happy Tuesday!

Can you believe its the last week in June! I cannot! The time is flying by. We are so busy that I honestly think that summer will be gone before I have time to enjoy it, if you know what I mean.


This is the first time I have weighed myself since I went to TN, I was a little nervous!  I will not lie! Ha.


Since we ate this:

These are PBR's favorite things: Fried Pickles.  I know sort of gross, but she insisted I try them.  She perfers the spears as you taste more pickles than fry stuff. They were ok-I am not sure I will run out and get them tomorrow but...with a beer, ok.

And these:

I guess you are in the south when Fritters are just placed before you.  I told PBR that I have never had them-she replies "Don't freak out there is corn in them" Ha! So funny-I didn't, but I really appriciated the warning none the less.  They were good-mainly reminded me of an elephant ear you get a fair. But hello they had powdered sugar on them...who can go wrong.

Those two pictures alone you can see why I was a little hesitant to jump on the scale...but I did this morning. Even after a wedding and birthday party this weekend, and I am happy to report:

Pounds this week: 4 (over a few weeks)

Total pounds: 34 (WHAT??!!?!)

Have a great Tuesday!

Week 13

Hello and happy Tuesday!

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day-I spent time with some great friends and my family; went to Old Navy got some great $3 tees and Mother Nature gifted me with yet another farmers tan-this time RED! Oops-I guess I forgot the sun screen on myself-the kids had it however.

Total Weight Loss: 29 lbs

Days to TN: 8 days

I cannot believe that TN is only a week away. The list has started to form.  And my goal is 30 lbs before I leave for TN-1 lb to go...here is hoping I can get rid of that by next week! I will be one happy little chica!

Have a great Tuesday!

Week 12-Check in

*Week 12*

How did that happen? Wait, what, its been three months already? Holy Cow! (from the mouth of PJ).

I cannot believe it, I thought this morning I didn't loose anything when I weighed myself, but I guess I shouldnn't do 'higher' math so early in the morning because after using a calculator I actually lost 3 lbs! Yeah! I am only 3 lbs away from my goal and 16 days to kick ass to do it in.

Total loss: 27 lbs!

Days until TN: 16

(sputter, spat, humm, what the...16 days)

 

I will happily report that I recieved our tickets in the mail and texted P and said...are you ready? Her reply...YAY!!!

 

So I guess we are both excited....

Week 11 Check in

Well Ithaca, I love you...to a point...but mother nature needs to get a butt kicking! Dear lord it started raining on Saturday and it is supposed to rain all the way until next Sunday! 8 days straight! Lord help us.

I lost 0 lb!!

Yes, a goose egg!

Total loss: 24 lbs!

Days until TN: 23

 

I know why I didn't loose, I continued my normal workout except on Friday I didn't go to the gym...I was out of town Friday and Saturday which means eating out. I didn't make the best choices in regards to meals-I clearly know that.  I even...gasp...had ice cream.  It was just me and Alyvia-I couldn't say no to her!

 

This week, back on track regarding eating...the excersing I have found I actually really like-really during the day I like that is de-stresses me! Ha. Its nice to get away from the office too. 

 

Next week could get tricky, its senior week and graduation here at work so the track I walk at is closed from 26-31 so I am hoping for nice weather to walk at the outside track or I might have to do laps in my livingroom-tee he.

 

The goal is still 30 lbs before TN-I still think it is possible-just need to focus and get to it!  It comes out to 2 lbs a week....

 

WISH ME LUCK!

Week 10 check in-a little late

It was a beautiful Wednesday! Simply amazing. The weather was steller-I walked outside today because they have closed Barton for finals until the 20th, so the weather better hold out! Time is dwindling down now.

I lost 1 lb!!

Total loss: 24 lbs!

Days until TN: 29

Week 9 Check in

It's another rainy Tuesday.
Ahh, I love NY!

I lost 3 lbs!!

Total loss: 23 lbs!

Days until TN: 37

My goal is 30 by TN, I think I am on the right path. Anything after that is a BONUS!

Week 8 Check In

Happy Tuesday!

I lost 2 lbs!!
  Which makes me at:

No-not 80! Silly people!

Total loss: 20 lbs!

Days until TN:  42 days
(Ah-6 weeks I cannot believe it is coming up so quickly!) If I stick to 2lbs a week I should be at or a little over the 30 lb mark! Yeah! Keep your figures crossed for that ...please!

Have a great Tuesday! I  know I will the sun is shinning and I hit a major goal today!

Week 7 check in

Happy Tuesday! 

I lost 1 lb!!

Total loss: 18 lbs!

Days until TN: 51 -Holy Moley!

Well, I know why the loss was low-Sunday I made cookies two new kinds (check out my other blog:simpleinspiredhomemade.blogspot.com) if you want to check that out-but I am a SUCKER for raw cookie dough. I know, I know one should not eat such indulging items-seriously who can resist! So needless to say I ate my fill on it. Dang it!  It probably is sitting right back to my butt-like a brick!  The days until TN are dwindling down so fast-I am so excited, I am such a child! But, I just know P and I are going to have so much fun. 

I am going shopping at the tale end of May with B for some new clothes-I am very much looking forward to that as well.  Not just for buying new clothes but for hanging with B. I am lucky to have a groovy friend like her.

Week 6 check in

Happy Tuesday!  Sorry I am day late, you know it goes when you have to get up really early on a Monday and I was up late on Sunday reading! Dang it!


Anyway...here we go.

I lost 5 lb!!

Total loss: 17 lbs!

Days until TN: 56 -Holy Moley!

I guess that was worth the wait! Ha, I really brought it last week, this week I am adding in somemore!

Have a great day!

Week 5 check in

Happy Monday!

Yes its raining and blah but its got to be really close to Spring...right?

 

I lost 1 lb!!

Total loss: 12 lbs!

Days until TN: 64 (yikes-that is coming quick)

So-I have to say 1 pound is good because it's a loss but, I still feel bad it wasn't the goal of 2 I set for myself.  I totally take responsibility for that-yes I busted my butt last week working out but I aslo slacked BIG TIME on the food portion. I kept it under the calories but made some poor choices regarding those calories. Back on the wagon this week. I will have one free day-Thursday, because I am going out with friends but other than that-FOCUS!  TN is coming so quick! So excited!
