Really Proud

I'm super proud of myself. :)

Last weigh-in: 134.2 and 27% body fat
Yesterday's weigh-in: 131.6 lbs and 26.1% body fat

That's almost three full lbs! GO JACKIE! :)

I've been doing really well eating the right amount of calories. 130 will be what I weighed after Christmas and before I got pregnant. I gained 7 lbs being pregnant and I've finally almost lost it all.

128 will be my pre-christmas weight. I'm only three lbs away.

To meet my final goal of 119 by the shore, I would need to lose at least two lbs a week. Possible? I'm sure - I'm just not sure how realistic that is.

So I'm still hoping to be 128 by July 13th - my sister's wedding. That would be 15 days. 3 lbs in 15 days? Sure, why not? Then three more lbs for the shore, but 8 more would be great. :)

Our Tri is this weekend. I'm excited but Eric hurt his knee and I'm worried he won't be able to run with me and I can actually run now!!!!

PS don't forget about my free money challenge - let me know if you want to sign up and get free money!

Weight goals

I can't believe I didn't give you my weigh-in stats on Monday. I forgot because I've been feeling so sick.

But I didn't have to give anybody money. :)

I weighed in at 134.2 and 27% body fat. So even though I lost a little bit of weight - my last weigh in was 134.6 lbs and 27.2% body fat- I didn't really feel accomplished. I heard once that the belly fat on your stomach will not come off if you're eating sugar, so that's right folks, off of the sugar again. I feel better when I don't eat it anyway, so why not?


As of today, I weigh 132.4. But, I'm sure it's what I like to call "fake" weight loss. It's because I haven't been feeling well. This always boggles my mind though because my doctor says I need to eat at least 1200 calories to survive, and less than 1500 calories to lose weight. But when I barely eat anything when I'm sick, I lose weight. If I'm not sick, and barely eat anything, I gain weight. I don't know how to find that perfect balance and it is SO annoying to me. Any advice is extremely welcome.


I'm annoyed that I'm not feeling great because I needed to be swimming like every day this week in order to conquer the tri next week. And I definitely needed to pick up my running.


Because I felt like crap, I obviously didn't start p90x2. Hopefully I'll start it next week.


My goals are this: to weigh 128 by my sister's wedding (July 13th). That gives me three weeks to lose 4 lbs. It SHOULD NOT be that hard. We'll see. Then, I'd like to weigh 125 by the time we go to the shore. That's what I weighed last year, and would like to look the same - not like a fat-I had knee surgery and couldn't do anything-slob. Plus, we're taking family pictures. I need to look good for that. :)


Then I'd like to lose the last five and hopefully be happy with that weight, and ready to get on with the rest of my life. 


Anyway, here's to hoping I'll weigh in around 131 something on Monday. :)

Weigh-in tomorrow

Tomorrow will be my first weigh-in and the only person who will get any money if I gained weight will be Angela! Come on guys! Guess I should get this posted on my other blog.

I hope I lost some weight since last time. I have been pretty good, but could definitely be better. I need to eat better again. I know I can do it, so what's the hold up?

FREE MONEY REMINDER

So... read my last post for my challenge, and how you can make free money.

A side note - you need to leave a comment on THIS blog telling me you are participating in the challenge.

Also, my weigh in was on Monday - it was 134.6 lbs and 27.2% body fat.

I need to lose either body fat, or weight to NOT owe you money. Hopefully both.

I'm going to start p90x2 next week as well. :)

I'll start recording more here! Keep me motivated people!

FREE MONEY

So... I SUCK at losing the last five - ten pounds. I always get so close, and then something happens, and I'm done. Sometimes it's a good excuse for stopping - like knee surgery - other times, I just forget how badly I want it.

I also need to stick to a better budget.

And I also need to blog more.

SOOOO... I figured out a way to motivate all three.

I want to weigh 119 by the shore trip - I'm not sure how possible that is. However, I do know I can lose that much weight. SO, I'll do my first weigh-in tomorrow, and each week - so every monday when I weigh in - I needed to lose lbs or body fat percentage. If I didn't do either, you get money.

So how much money do you get?

For every comment you leave on this blog or my other blog (one comment per entry), you'll get counted for a $1. If I don't meet the goal of losing ANY WEIGHT or any body fat percentage, you get the total of the money you earned from your comments.

I think it's a great idea and will keep me accountable to you I hope!

I plan on doing swimming - m, w, f (we are training for a tri that is on June 30th and then another one on Sept. 8th), biking as often as we can, and running t, th, f. On top of that, I'm starting p90x2 - it's five days a week so I want to try to do it t, th, f, s, su, but will just do it as I can, and then I go to the gym every morning - when I wake up - for one or two gym classes.

My biggest downfall must be how I eat though - so going back on the p90x2 diet. Basically eat everything that is healthy. :) And I'm going to give myself one treat A WEEK. Then I won't feel like I can't ever have something sugary.

So here goes trying again and getting back to my pre-surgery self, and on top of that, better than I've ever looked self. :)
