Weight loss...
What a HEADACHE!!!!
once upon a time I used to be a tiny size 5... as time went on I got bigger and bigger and bigger! Here it is... my journey back to thin.
May 10th, 2006
174 lbs yuck! That's ridiculous! Well I've lost 6 lbs since April 5th... so I feel like I'm on the right track. My husband and I have been walking every week day 3 miles a day. We probably ruin about half of the calories that we burn because we stop for ice cream at either DQ or the Old Colorado City Creamery... but that's stopping. We'll bring water with us from now on; it's time to start feeling comfortable being me again.
I'll start posting pics of my progress soon. I'm hoping for a digital camera for mothers day. Oh... you're probably wondering why I get a mother's day gift when I'm not a mother, huh? Well... technically speaking I am. I have a 4 year old step daughter, her name is Alyia. She is so special to me. I can't imagine not having her in our lives. We have her every weekend with the sole intent of raising her in church.
I've set my main goal weight to 115 lbs by November 30th of this year. But 59 lbs is a big number when you look at it like that. So I've broken it up as follows:
Goal weight #1 157 lbs- loose 17 lbs by July 7th my reward will be getting contacts
Goal weight #2 141 lbs- loose 16 lbs by Sept 1st my reward will be getting a manicure
Goal weight #3 127 lbs- loose 14 lbs by Oct 20th my reward will be a pedicure
Goal weight #4 115 lbs- loose 12 lbs by Nov 30th my reward will be a shopping spree (I'll definately need a whole new wardrobe.
Rewarding my self isn't my only insentive. My husband is planning on joining the Army this summer, and when we leave to our first station I want every one to remember me happy with who I am. I want to be comfortable in my own body! Well, keep us in your prayers!
