:( STAY FOCUSED SARAH!
And actually that weight is good bc a week ago I was 195!!! lol
Too much birthday cake and fried foods UGH...
Back on Fatsecret. I haven't been on in so long!!! I really believe fatsecret helps me stay focused on this, so I am back. And I just realized the update to where it notifies you of friend's activites--AWESOME!
I really want to get to my goal weight of 150. I went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago. He mentioned my six pound weight gain and that I dont want to start going in the wrong direction after losing 150 pounds. I've worked way too hard to end up back in that situation...smothered by pounds and depression. I told the doctor that I want so bad to get down to 150...He said NO WAY that I would look weird at 150--im too "big boned"???...He went on to say my shoulders are broader than his :(...He wants me to be at 165 at the lowest... Just you wait doctor! I am going to get to 150 and I'm not going to look weird--I'm going to look pretty damn sexy. Maybe I'll get to 140! I'm not that big boned...he really made me feel masculine...
SO update on the tummy tuck to lose extra skin. Not happening....YET. Insurance will not cover it. I want to have children one day SOON--like within the next year! So I figure if I am going to get it done I will wait until after the pregnancy.
I've been exercising with my boyfriend a lot lately too. Not JUST walking but actually RUNNING! Who would have ever though I could run? Last time we ran my stomach was so sore the next day, seems like running is really doing wonders on my stomach and waist. I have also been lifting small 8 pound weights trying to tone my arms, and doing crunches every night. At my job I walk a lot. I wasn't aware of how much I walked until I put a pedometer app on my phone and kept it in my pocket at work all day. SIX MILES! At work! So I feel like I am doing pretty great on the exercise factor of weight loss...now if only I could control my appetite and my food choices.
The past few days I have done great with my meals. I stopped getting fast food when I am at work and I bring food instead. It is saving me money AND calories. I take fresh grapes to snack on, yogurt, and left overs or a lean pocket. I have been having mad craving for rootbeer lately, I need to cut back to just water like I used to do, but MMMMM rootbeer :) so delicious. I'm not going to buy any more rootbeer though...not worth it! I'd rather get my calorie intake in from nutritious food.
In September me and Todd, and two of my friends and their boyfriends are going on a cruise to the Bahamas. My new goal is to just feel better about myself by the time we board that cruise. I want to be toned and tighter, less flabby. And honestly I don't care WHAT the number on the scale is, as long as it isn't more than that it is today. I am going to keep exercising and eating right and let my body be what it decides to be.
