The HUBBY

The Hubby

Finally Mo & I are exercising together. I personally have waited for years for this to happen and now I'm very happy that I have some company with my exercising & pain. With our weight bench that looks like it comes from the dark ages, treadmill, medicine ball, step and weights we are off to a good start with our home gym.

Our first official workout was two days ago. Knowing my husband the way I do I looked at the weights that he wanted to start off with and just knew that his arms would be hurting so I told him to start off with lighter weights. Ignoring me he continued to lift and he HURTS. Me being the wimp that I am started out with lighter weights and guess what no pain just tiredness. Well it just goes to show that men don't want to listen to women and sometimes we do know best.

In my last post I mentioned my quest to find a new recipe that Mo would react to telling me that he really enjoyed it and that I would share it with you. Surprise, I'm still on this quest after trying many new recipes the only reaction that I got was it's okay. So maybe next week.

I don't have any weight results for you this week because we did get the bad weather that was in our forecast last Friday. However, I will have results for you on my next post. Hopefully there will be less of me to report to you.

Until next week...

Pound by Pound

Pound by Pound

One pound is all I lost last week. This is not the start I wanted for the New Year but it's what I got. On a good note it was one pound in the right direction.

Tomorrow is my weigh in day and it looks as if the weather is going to be bad here so I may not make it to a weight watchers this week. I have to come up with a plan for the next week so I continue to go in the right direction with this weight loss.

I'm going on try out some new recipes this upcoming week. Most of the time when I make something new and ask Mo what he thinks he says "It's okay." So my goal is to find something he really likes and share it with you on my next post along with his reaction.

Last weekend my cousins kids spent the night with Mo & I and, I have to say it was nice to have kids in the house. This makes me want to work even harder to get to my goal.

Here is my latest results:

Weight: 296.2

116.2 lbs until adoption process begins.

Believe

Believe

The slogan for Weight Watchers this year is Believe. I'm so not believing in myself at this point but I refuse to give up. I got the new year off to a bang then boom all I wanted to do is eat. I don't know why I go through these cycles but I must break them.

Exercise has been a big part of my week and I plan on sticking to it. Today I'm going grocery shopping and stocking up on fruit, vegetables and other good for you items. Also, I'm sick of feeling like a beached whale when I try to sit up from the lying position so I'm going to start using the Biggest Loser game on our XBox. I'll let you know how this works for me next week.

Well here are my results from my last weigh in. Like I said last week it's not pretty but this is just another bump in the road for me. The important thing is that I stay on my journey and become a BELIEVER.

Weight: 297.2 lbs

117.2 lbs until the adoption process begins

Happy 2012

Happy New Year

Every year people make resolutions when the new year comes around myself included. . There are so many things I want to resolve in my life like eating healthier, exercise more, be a mom even if my husband and I have to adopt, and make my life count. I realize I have all these things within my grasp all I have to do is be dedicated to them.

So having said that my resolution for 2012 is to be dedicated to my journey. Which will lead into the a much happier and healthier me.

So stick with me we are in for a wild ride.

I will be weighing in for the first time this year on Friday and I am so not looking forward to it. What the scale will say is in the past and I'm ready for my future. I will tell you all the results of my weigh in on my following post.

Till next week....

Holidays

Holidays

We are half way through the holiday season and with concerns to my journey they have not been kind to me. With all the sweets and treats that have been around my house and the lack of tracking and exercise I'm pretty much back to where I started my journey.

With the New Year ringing in this weekend I am determined to get back on with my journey. Mo's parents and sister will be with us to go out with the old and come in with the new year. Which brings on a whole other food challenges for me. My first concern is the amount of oil in Indian food and then my second concern is the amount of food and times that we will eat. A typical day with Mo's family goes as follows: Breakfast, Teatime, Lunch, Teatime, Dinner and yet another Teatime. Not exactly the best way to get back to my journey but that's life.

Getting back on the treadmill this week will be a challenge but with help from Mo I am hoping to at least get some exercise in.

Till next week...

Doctor

Doctor

Two weeks of suffering was enough for me to break down and go to the doctor. This is a big deal for me because I hate taking medicine and always try to let my body fight it off first. I am happy to say I am feeling a little better each day now and slowly returning to the land of the living. For the first time in weeks I started to planned out what I will eat and tracked it in my food journal. I may even jump back on the treadmill and go for a slow walk today.

Now all I have to do is get my house cleaned, decorate, and shop for Christmas.

Here is the latest results. Which I might say I'm not proud of but I'm being honest.

289.4 Weight

It's now time to pick myself up and get back on my journey.

Till next week....

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Day came with coughing, sneezing, headache and congestion. Yep, you guessed it both Mo and I are sick. If you have read my previous post you know that we picked up my in-laws at the airport when they returned home with colds. So, why are we sick?

All in all we just had to switch our plans for Thanksgiving some and spent a few hours at my parents house. I did go to Weight Watchers on Friday and sat far away from everyone at the meeting with hopes that I didn't make anyone sick. Exercise has been on the back burner since I have been hacking up a lung for the past few days.

Continuing on this journey is what I'm planning for the next week. I know I have been off track lately. Now it's time for me to get feeling better and back to a healthier way of life.

Here is the latest result:

284.4 lbs

44.5 BMI

104 lbs until the adoption process begins.

Till next week.
