Week 10 of NEW HEALTHY LIFE (WHOOO HOO)

Mar 28, 2010

So I feel like it’s been a while since I wrote about my goal to becoming a new healthier me. It has not been the easiest 2 and a ½ months of my life that is for sure, I have had lots of ups and downs, but I’m glad to report that I’m doing so WELL!!!

For those of you who don’t know (probably because I didn’t mention it on here) is that I told myself, that once I got down to 300lbs I would treat myself to a meal at my favorite restaurant, Olive Garden. It has been so hard, I’ve stayed around 310 forever… I was definitely like WTH? I honestly felt like just throwing in the towel. I was eating again, as you may have read previously. Then spring week happened, I had so much to do. I gave up  my prep period on a daily basis to set up for lunch time activities, and then spent my lunch having the kids do the activities, so that left me no time for a real meal at lunch, or any time to snack. So I drank my protein shakes and stayed busy. Not to mention that I totally worked off a lot preparing for mine and Gloria’s performance at the talent show (Which if you missed it, was awesome!- hopefully I’ll have it posted soon, for all to see).So with being so busy I didn’t even concentrate on my weight. I did however had to deal with the cravings of my stress food. Every morning I had to tell myself, no double cheeseburgers, no double cheeseburgers.

So Friday afternoon, I went to weigh myself. I usually do so Monday after my week, but I thought since I wouldn’t be in school this week, I should go ahead and low and behold the scale read 300. I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy!!!! I have not weighed this since I was a sophomore in college. I can not tell you how proud I am of myself. All of my clothes are fitting a little baggy.  Even in areas that I was not happy about, but I’m still smiling through it. So Olive Garden was my reward. Even though I was exhausted on Friday night after the talent show, Gloria, her husband, and Mona took me to celebrate. I barely made it passed the salad and bread stick before I was full, but it was great. I’ve enjoyed the rest of it all weekend. Monday it’s back to the grind which will be my real test since I’m home this week. But I think the key is to stay busy. Do relaxing things, but also do some active things.

So here’s to my next goal…. 275, is only 100lbs away from my goal weight, so here I come. I’m still thinking what could be my incentive… Olive Garden is way too hearty, I can’t even make it through a meal, but it was delicious. We’ll see. I’m going to see Chris Daughtry on April 26^th and Prom is the 24^th so I’m hoping to be down at least 15 lbs before then. If anyone wants to workout this week, let me know, I can use the group motivation.
