Getting to Onderland

  1. Need For Change….

    The past week has been terrible.  I am starting to have back pain again and am not able to work out.  With this happening, I am finding it harder to track and work towards weight loss.  I need to change.  Right now, I am writing this because I want to make a promise.  I want to complete the TurboFire Prep Schedule for the next 9 weeks.  I also want to track my calories and work at losing a minimum of 18 lbs.  I will do this!  I will do my starting weigh in first thing tomorrow morning.  I will also not hope that I lose the weight.  I will lose the weight!!!!

  2. I Am Soooooo Sore….

    The one great thing about working out for the first time in a long time is that sore feeling that shows your hard work.  I am feeling that this week.  I can’t believe how I have let my body just barely reach it’s exercise potential.  I hope very soon that I will get better at the exercises and keep doing them 100%.  My week consists of 6 days of TurboFire’s Prep Schedule and 1 day of dance.  I think 7 days of exercise is amazing.  Usually 2 of these days is just stretching.  Now, all I am wondering is what to do about my schedule.  I am such a night person, so I do better with working out at night.  But sometimes this just doesn’t work out.  So, I will later see if I can get into a morning workout routine.  We shall see.  I guess as long as I get it done, it really doesn’t matter when I do it.  I will keep you all posted…..have a great week!

  3. 2 More Days….

    Until I need to weigh in for the end of week 4.  Weighed in at 257 lbs. this morning.  I am on my way to getting down to 255 lbs.  I realized that my lax eating was not the best choice this week and that next week I will be more careful.  I went through a little setback but I am now going in the right direction.  2 days to get down 2 lbs.  I think I can do it!!!!

  4. 259.8?

    Yep, that is what the scale said this morning.  It is time to get back on track and start losing again.  I have had 3 whole days of eating way too much!  I guess that is why I like to weigh myself every day.  It is a great way to know when I am going overboard and when I need to be more strict with my diet.  Goal today?  I am going to eat right under my daily calories.  I will NOT go over today!!!!

  5. Change of Plans…

    So, this morning I weighed in at 256.4 lbs.  That is a total loss so far of 7.6 lbs.  I am so excited on the progress that I have made so far.  The plan was to only lose 2 lbs. a week.  Well, I am ahead of that plan.  I only need to get to 256 lbs. by next Monday.  The same thing happened last week and I allowed myself to indulge more than I should because I was so far ahead.  I guess the reason that I am writing this is because I need to not lose focus.  I need to take advantage of the faster weight loss right now and strive for more.  So, I will work on losing one extra pound this week.  My goal is to get below 255 lbs. by next Monday.  It would be even better if I can make it below 254 lbs.  I will work on my eating more this week and strive to lose the weight.  Stay tuned….

  6. Goodbye to the 260’s….

    This morning, I weighed in at 256.4 lbs.  I am very happy about my weight loss so far.  Soon, I should be halfway through the 250’s.  I guess that is why I wanted to write a goodbye post to the 260’s.  I mentally did this when I lost the first time and never got back up to 280 lbs.  I told myself that if I ever got close, that I would continue on weight loss and get back down out of the 270’s.  This has worked really well.  There had been a few times that I have been in the mid 270’s but I would always lose again.  So, now I want to make this promise with 260.  I will never weigh 260 lbs. again!  

  7. Getting to Onderland…..Soon

    On the 31st of December, I weighed in at 264 lbs.  I was sad and happy.  Sad because I am still in the 260’s after almost 3 years here in Spain…but happy because I am no longer 280 lbs.  I really had to sit down at the end of 2012 and think about what I was doing wrong.  I know what I need to do to lose weight.  The true problem was that I was doing the wrong things.  I was mentally telling myself that I couldn’t and wouldn’t do it.  I was setting myself up for failure because I was too lazy to track my foods and I would always put weight loss on the back burner.  So, at the end of 2012 (Literally December 31, 2012), I promised myself never again.  I made a promise to never restart weight loss and to keep tracking.  I also promised myself that I would succeed.  No more excuses and no more negative thoughts.  I will work on getting to Onderland by this summer.  I will work on losing 2 lbs. a week so that I can lose 64 lbs. by 12 August 2013.  I CAN do this!!!!
