Day 1... done!
So I have had a HUGE kick in the butt to get it moving. And it came from TV of all places?! I was watching Netflix and going thru TV shows I wanted to watch. (I like seeing all episodes in the series) So I have been watching Buffy, and Roseanne, and The Kingdom, and Scrubs, and I came across Ruby! Ruby is a show on the style network, and it is an amazing motivation for me at least. She was over 700 lbs at her heaviest, and got down to 333lbs as of what I have seen so far. (She started the show at 470 something) I am far from that, even the 333lbs, but I am not where I feel I should be and want to be. I weighed 193lbs before I got pregnant with Andrew, and when I left the hospital I weighted 203lbs. (Mostly Water weight for the petocin.) I gained about 5lbs while I was pregnant, and have since lost my baby weight (something people said I would never do... I didn't have that much to start with because I didn't eat for two. I ate healthy for myself and my baby.)
As of this morning I weight 180lbs, I have been loosing everything I step on the scale. It just has been a slow pace. I made a new deal with Kevin last night. If I can show him that I am really committed to getting in shape by working out every day for 50 days then he will buy me a exercise bike for the apartment. Out gym at the complex doesn't have a bike, and I love to bike. Plus I can't say I'd workout if I could go to the gym because I have to watch Andrew and I am home alone, because it will be in out living room and I can do it with Andrew around, and sleeping. So I did my work out last night. The treadmill was broken when I got down there and that is how I have been working out. SO instead of coming home and calling it quits I used the stair stepper and worked out on it for 15 minutes. I felt great that I did do my workout and I am working hard to find ways to sneak workouts in during the day. Like a workout video while the kids nap, or push ups and sit ups. I also need to get my diet worked out. I am not sure how I want to do it, but I know that working out is only half the battle. I need to make sure that I am fueling my body and taking the best care of it that I can. I did weight watchers several years ago and lost a bit and I am thinking of fallowing that plan loosely and seeing about learning a better nutrition plan as I keep working. I know that I can't diet that what ever I do will have to be all my life. That's why I want to bike, because I will have to use it everyday for the rest of my life to keep healthy, not just while I am working to my goal. I just know that right now working out every night is my main goal and it will help me earn the tools I need to make it to my goal.
I weigh 180lbs, I'd love to loose at least 50lbs, and they go from there. I know that there are people who think that I will never be thin and that I am just big and will always be big, BUT NO I WON'T. I should be 110-120 for my height, and being this much over weight puts me at greater health risks. I don't just want to be thin I want to be healthy enough to see my baby grow up and see my grand-babies. I need this for me. I need to drop this dead weight before it causes a big Health problem, or worse. It I could drop 50lbs before I get pregnant that would best for me, and for the baby. But I want to be pregnant by my 26th birthday so I don't have years and years to keep at this pace. I have to get my butt in gear and get healthy.
Tonight after I get Andrew to bed I'm heading to the gym and workout. I'll post more about it later and as I learn my nutrition choices and BMI and Weight Drops, and anything that has to do with this new Journey. I am also thinking of doing a weekly Youtube update on how becoming Healthy is going. Maybe Wednesdays since that is my weigh day.

What the Hell!!!
So I haven't posted in a few days because I have been pissed off about a comment someone close to me said when they heard I was working to looses weight. I know they weren't trying to be mean and didn't mean it to hurt my feelings, but it totally did. I am fat (lets not candy coat it!) I am fat because I eat too much and do not workout. It is my fault I know this. But to say that I can never be as thin as my sister is crazy, and that I am just built bigger, and have a bigger frame then her. I am not saying that I want to be Skinner then her I just want to loose some weight. Yes I'd love to be thin not only because clothes would fit better but I would also be healthier then I am right now. It just made me upset and made me more determined to prove this person wrong.
As today... I weigh 179 lbs, I have 4 lbs to go until I get my gift card form Kevin for 10lbs. It seems like its taking for ever to loose weight, but my hope is that once it comes off it will stay off. I am going to kinda fallow the weight watchers plan (since I still have all the stuff) and see if I can get in gear a bit and drop a bit more before I end up pregnant. Since I will have to stop dieting, and just be healthy and watch what I eat.
I did only gain 5 lbs with Andrew and that was the last week, but I never did get back up to my pre- pregnancy weight until they gave me pitocin to induce labor. I was 203 when I left the hospital. ( I have never told anyone but Kevin that fact. But I have lost 20lbs since that day and I haven't gone back up. I had been stuck at 189 for months and months and now I am at 179 and can see me going down even more. I have the drive and am wanting to prove that I can do this.
Why?
I want to be there to see my baby grow up and graduate high school, to get married and have his babies. I want to be there for him and for his life, and lats face it right now I have more risk factors then I want and being overweight is not going to make anything better. In fact it could make things worse.
I CAN AND WILL LOOSE WEIGHT AND HIT MY GOAL.
starting with this first 10 lbs, and I am over half way there.
I am feeling better now what I have got that off my chest.

Dinner last night
Grandma made fried chicken strips, mashed potatoes, gravy, biscuits, pickled beets and dump cake. Kevin would have loved to stay for dinner one of his favorites, but not what is going to help me slim down. I have to come up with a plan for eating at grandmas with out packing on the pounds. She is a wonderful cook and I love her food my only problem is I don't have portion control down and would eat too much of the yummy food. So we went home and I made dinner.
I cooked a few (2) small steaks, sliced them over spinach, cooked peppers and onions, fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, feta cheese and radishes. It was so YUMMY!!!! and I didn't feel bad for eating it because it was fresh and seemed healthy to me. Maybe I'm wrong, but man it was good. I will be making it more often and hope to find more recipes like it for fast and yummy healthy dinners. I may have to bring my stuff and make our dinner at grandmas so I can be here to help, but not eat since I just cant eat her Deliciously yummy food that is packing the pounds on my fanny. (I know its not the food, its eating too much of it and until I can work that part out this will have to be my plan.)
Didn't go for that walk today or drink my water. But I will try again tonight.
Check back for breakfast and lunch and dinner, and a workout update.

Today I weight...
Today's weight is 180. 5 lbs down and 5 lbs to go to get my card. I have been sucky about watching what I eat and how I work out. I took up a new hobby and its sucking my time because it is fun. But my goal for the next 28 days is to go and walk 1 mile a day. Just one mile! (more is okay but less is not) I also need to drink 4 of my water bottles a day. I will work more on my diet and more exercise after I finish these 28 days and get water and a bit of workout.
Day 1: 1/19/2011 Weight 180 lbs.
Day 28:2/15/2011 Goal is 170 lbs.
I'll also try to post most days how things are going, that I have done my workout and also diet for that day. I will also be weighing in on Wednesday from now on.

Friday 1/7/2011 start date
So Kevin and I have a deal going on for every 10 lbs I loose I will get a $25.00 gift card to Victoria secrets or Fredrick's of Hollywood. Our start weight is 185 lbs. So my first card will be at 175 lbs. Hopefully it will be soon!! I will do my first weigh in Friday morning and then every Friday from then on. My workout and diet goals are in the planning stage still and should be up soon.
I had planned on starting on the first but since we had the extra kids that week it was just too hard to diet or have extra time to work out with them around. But now that things have settled I am great to go. Here is to getting in shape and healthy this year!?!

Coming in 2011
I would be nuts to think I could start a D!et 2 weeks before Christmas. So I am not even going to pretend that I am. Even with eating healthier and watching the sweets of the Christmas Season. Plus when do I have the time to workout while I'm rushing to finish last minute gifts.
HOWEVER:
This is not a D!et, and I am not the only one in my family who will be fallowing along come new year. My dear husband will also be joining in as well as our sweet little boy. See I told you its not a D!et. Our whole Family will be eating better so we all can be healthier as a family.
My goal is to be healthier and let's face it I have to loose some of this weight to do that. So I hope that you stop back by after the new year and see how things are going.
