9 month check up

Aug 23, 2011

I had my 9 month check up yesterday. I was so thrilled with the results. My BMI is 29, they want me at 25... sooo close. My muscle is about 4 lbs under where they want me so they gave me some strength training advice. My eating and my exercise is right on track. The Medial assistant walked by me and I said hi. She stopped turned around grabbed my paper work out of my hand and said OH MY GOD Melissa You look so fantastic, we have to go see Dr Halpin. So she rushed me into her office to show me off. It was pretty crazy! Dr Halpin, said she was so proud of me and has no doubt that I will be where I want by my one year anniversary. I gave her a big hug and thanked her for the support that I had gotten from her whole staff and told her I was greatful she had given me my life back. She said she just gave me the tool. I'm doing all the hard work.  It was a really awesome moment for me....

1 lb!!!!!

Jun 16, 2011

I have 1 lb... Just 1 left to hit my 100 lbs lost.   May and half this month it really slowed down. I  am going to take responsibility though as I didn't work out as much as I had, stupid rain.. We have had so much rain that I used it as an excuse not to go jogging and walking.  Like I said, excuse, Not a reason. I also have found that I have been creeping in snacks.  I have started writing everything down, religiously because I noticed it a week ago that I was snacking I wasn't hungry I was just eating for no reason.  So I have a journal in purse.  So my goal this week, write everything down and walk at least 45 minutes 3 days this week. Goal for next week, Write everything down and get a jog/walk in 4 times at min 45 minutes.

10 LBS on Month 6

May 02, 2011

So this is month 6.  I am 10 lbs from 100 lbs lost.  I am very motivated this month to put it down on all fronts.  I haven't been writing everything down lately so I'm going to get on that and do a better job.  I'm going to increase my exercise and up my protein. I would really like to see 179 by the 31st.

I remember....

Apr 01, 2011

This morning I was on the shuttle van from the employee parking lot to the airport when it hit me about my weight.  I was this weight about 5 years ago when I was being tested for allergies.. I have horrible allergies and I found through testing that I'm damn near allergic to every tree, weed, grass, known to man.. Living in the NW means that my seasonal allergies are horrible.  Anyways, I was going to get shots and I had went to this Dr. , I can't think of his name....  Anyways, I remember sitting in his office and he came in to talk to me about my allergies and what  he could do for me.  He sat down at the computer across from me and as we was talking to me he was typing all my information in the computer free form.. The very first sentence said " Melissa a 29 year old female morbidly Obese">>>> That was the first time in my life I had ever seen myself associated with the word morbidly obese. I knew I was big, I knew I needed to loose weight, but morbidly obese?  I couldn't stop thinking about it.  At that point I didn't hear anything else he was saying I just kept starring at that first line.  After I he was done talking I got up and walked out, in fact I never went back.  I was mad that he had put that on there. I was embarrassed that he put it on my chart.  I went home and cried my eyes out. I joined weight watchers, then I really started obsessing about my weight. When I had only lost .16 of a lb after 3 months I gave up on weight watchers..Its funny how something like that stays with you.  I keep getting told how small, and tiny I look. But I know how much I weigh and I know that I'm only half way to goal so I still have a long road ahead.  But, I'm doing it. I'm getting there. One day at a time.

Mar 31, 2011

                             Well I'm here. I under 200 by my birthday a goal I set for myself last year on my bday.. I told myself next year I will look better, next year I will go out dancing on my birthday, next year I will want to do something.. The last 5 years I haven't done anything on my birthday.  I have found excuses not to go out. This year, This year my promise to myself is coming true. I am going out, well not till Saturday but I am. I going to dance my butt off and have a great time. I promised it to myself right?   I do feel better.  I love being able to run up the stairs at work and not be winded. I love working out! I love the sore stiff legs through the week...LOL! I love it all and I wouldn't trade it for a piece of Bday cake!!!

Slowly inching toward goal..

Mar 18, 2011

Well I thought I would have been in Onderland by now.. I work out, watch I'm eating, measuring, everything... And just slow,slow, slow I'm inching there.  I'm not going to weigh myself until Sunday, Ive decided I'm not stepping on a damn scale until Sunday!!!  Hopefully by then I will have the magic number I'm so desiring on the scale on Sunday(Fingers crossed)!!!!  I'm going to just keep plugging away at the workouts.  I have also learned that eggs and I are not friends.  I have dumped 3 separate times on eggs.   Ugh! I love eggs, so I'm not sure if I'm going try them again for a while.. Maybe in a few months but just the thought of eggs and what happens makes me feel ill.  I'm 13 days from my birthday. I have 13 days to get to Onderland..  Its weird to have people say I'm skinny, tiny, small, I'm not any of those yet. But when I compare my pictures I can see where they would say that.  I'm just having trouble with taking the compliments all the time. Its almost awkward.

10 lbs to first mini goal

Feb 22, 2011

My birthday is March 31 and I'm 10lbs from where I wanted to be by my birthday. I'm so happy I can hardly stand it. I have been pretty consistent with my weight loss.  I mix up my foods, eating pattern, and excercise and I know that this is helping.. Something I used to do when I was an athlete so I know it works. Got to keep the body guessing....  I went to  the beach with my family and friends this weekend and I was so proud of myself not to ditch out on working out. It would have been easy to just sleep in but I got my butt up and ran/walk the beach in the morning before everyone else got up and got moving... It was super cold and the sand was frozen, but it was beautiful, sunny and clear.   I found myself going farther than I even thought I would.  I was able to enjoy my day and not feel guilty for not going in the morning like some of my family who had the intentions of going to work out but never did... I was that person last year when we went. No motivation.  I even went in the Hot tub, there is no way over the last 3 years we have been going I would have went in the hot tub.  Its exciting to have mini victories and know that I am stronger than my addiction.
