Saturdayyyy

I wanted to go to the gym today, but no babysitter + lack of vehicle made it difficult. I'm about to go tuck my lovebugs into bed + then I think I might go for a short jog... cuz I'm really feeling the need for some heart pumping soreness :/

I still haven't begun tracking again. I'd like to kick myself EVERYday for not doing this. It was such a great tool for the beginning of my journey..it's a big reason I dropped about 50lbs so far. I need to do it + stop forgetting, or being lazy or whatever...maybe pictures will help? Pictures of everything I eat again, to post ? Hmmm

Today was very lazy, I didn't binge on anything or even over eat a meal it was moderate, but no water. I need to set up some weekly goals for this coming week, & make myself stick to them. I just know if I can get out of this plateau and back in the full swing of this journey I can lose more weight instead of being stuck at around the flux of the same 5lbs. I'll set up some weekly goals + refocus on my short term goals to achieve & possibly a reward for achieving them will motivate me more!

Jeans are still MIA.

Digits & Things xo

Hello lovelies! Lots to blog about, since returning to blog world I felt the need to update some #'s as well as set some # dates! First & foremost, I weighed in today,just to have a number to post. Weigh in days will go back to being Monday's. I like Monday weigh day's because it's like starting off my week right (or in some cases very wrong) either way I know what goals to set for the week and it can help me to focus a little more oh my plan. So although I weighed in today, I will weigh in again on Monday & most Monday's thereafter.

273.4lbs
That's 46.6lbs down from when I started this blog.
That's 50.6lbs down from when I started this Journey.
That's 28.4lbs away from my short term goal weight.
That's 117.4lbs away from my long term goal weight.

I still have a long road ahead of me, but I'm damn proud of what I've accomplished already. 50lbgs is a big freakin' DEAL!! It's something to CELEBRATE! Anyone who's been on this journey knows that losing 2lbs can feel like a great thing! I am happy, but of course... I still have more work to be done.

I took my measurements tonight.. it's been a WHILE. I've decided that measurements will be the last day of each month no particular elaborate reason other than that's what today is lol.

The Current Digits:
Bust:48"
Chest:42.75"
Waist:42.5"
Hips:50.5"
Thighs: L-29.25" R- 27.5"
Calves: L-18.25" R-17"
Upper Arm: L-16.25" R- 16.75"
Lower Arm: L- 11" R- 11.5"
Booty: 50.75"
Neck:16.5"

I have lost overall since last measurements 11.25" & overall since first measurements 37.5"
I just love doing measurements and seeing the inches fall off, even if it's just 1 or 2 here & there it's so nice to know that even on days it doesn't feel like anythings working it is : ). Now mind you, I took these in the evening shortly after a cup of coffee & eating all day lol but I'd bet they're pretty accurate!

Some side notes about life! My kids are healthy as can be & doing great- I normally don't post there pictures on here but they really are my focus on a healthier lifestyle! Kaila, who is 7 is my daughter & she has no problem telling me on a regular basis that I'm the best mom ever & how beautiful she thinks I am, My son Carson is 6 & lights up my life all the time with how much affection he shows.

I got my license!! I am 25 & lord knows it's been a long time coming! WOO! It was a great big fat (pun intended) hassle for years trying to get it, but I did it! Now I just need to get a car.

I'm pretty sure I informed you readers of my job, Service Desk @ Kmart, which I still have but now I'm also looking for something else to bring in some extra $$ to get a car!

I will also be re enrolling in school after the summer. I want to now but I know that with looking for a second job & the little lovebugs being out of school all summer, schoolwork for me would be nearly impossible... so in the fall I will officially be a college student again! yay!

Oh & readers, I have a dilemma .. I can't find the latest pair of goal pants :| until I can find them I wont know if how I fit into them yet! Tomorrow's plan of action is to clean my room & search frantically for said pants.

Fat Girl's BACK!!! : )

Ok, So I know I've been coming & going like you wouldn't believe. I finally got my computer fixed!! So now I should be here to stay. Even though, I have been way off track with things I'm hoping that now that I can be back in blog world I can start to focus again with the help of my wonderful fellow bloggers! I missed you readers like crazaayy!



Anyways, some updates since last post!

I have joined a Gym, I am now a proud member of a 24 hour gym - I was really good at going but lately things have been ridiculously busy. I'm going to start scheduling gym time in my planner so I can force myself to go. I enjoy going to the gym. I love the sore feeling my muscles get afterwards, plus the natural high that I get. I drink more water going to the gym because it tastes so damn good when I'm working out.

I have been to the nutrionist, It wasn't as productive as I thought it was going to be, we talked for about 20 minutes and then she told me if I wanna chat again sometime to schedule an appointment. I don't know why I thought I would naturally just see her on a regular basis as I was on this journey, & I also thought she was going to give me more ideas or help with food. She pretty much just told me what I already knew... So for now I think I'll just stick to researching health food ideas and what not.

I still haven't stepped up my game with tracking my food & I think that's a really big reason as to why I still eat really unhealthy foods at times or divulge in far too many calories in one sitting. I will work on it though...

Here I'll leave you with the latest (closest thing to a body shot) I have :) mind you, I think this picture makes me look much, much thinner than I've gotten ? lol but I like it!
