February 26 finally!!well i finally lost on the scales!!! mom and I both lost 3lbs each. I was so excited that the scale started moving again.
We have both been very good about staying within calorie range, exercising and drinking our water.
I posted new pics of us and I can actually see a diffrence. Its so exciting to finally see results from all the hard work we have been putting into this. I hope that everyone is having such great results and fun that we are having. I am actually loving this and who knew eating right and exercising could acutally be fun!!!
I am signing up for the personal training course in april for my gym. So by June I will be helping and motivating people just like me.
I am sooooo excited and in shock that I actually want to be a personal trainer. I owe it all to Jillian. she is such an inspiration to me and so many others. I would so love to meet her and express my gratitude to her in person!!!
oh well, Im trying to get things ready for our trip on Thursday so I will probly not be blogging much the next few days but I will catch up on Sunday or Monday and let you know how our journey is going!! February 24 im loving this!!!!!! well i havent blogged in a few days, we have had alot going on trying to get ready for disneyworld this week. Tomorrow is our weigh-in and im hoping I start showing on the scale but if not I wont be upset. I went shopping today and was pleasantly surprised to find out I am a size smaller in everything!!!!! So I now realize that just because the scales aren't moving doesn't mean Im not making progress. I was so excited!!!!Mom and I continue to stay within our calorie range everyday and we also get in atleast 30 min of exercise a day. I have been trying to get 2 hours in a day and I was able to do it 3 days this past week. Im gonna try for 4 days this week. Im kinda sad that this challange will be coming to an end very soon. I hope that everyone will still continue on their journey to get healthy just as we are.
I will let you know our results after our weigh-in tomorrow and I also plan on posting new pics sometime tomorrow. I have to take one of my mom first!!! she looks soooo good. I am so proud of her. February 20 blah......Its really hard to eat and exercise when your sick... We have been visiting the hospital so much that mom and I are now sick. Which is very frustrating because after the weigh-in on Monday I was planning on working out harder and longer this week to see if it would make a diffrence. So I hope that I feel better tomorrow so I can get back on track, at this rate I am not going to make my 15lb loss goal for this challange. I know our chances of being picked are very slim and this point we are just doing this for ourselves. Its not so much about the contest anymore. I have said many many times I am so thankful for this challange because it has forever changed our lives and has brought us some much closer together. That in itself makes us winners!!!
I also have another test coming up next weekend, we are taking our daughter to Disney World for the first time and I am sure there will be lots of temptations. Being there is really gonna show that i am on the right track.
I am very proud of the progress we have made up to this point and I am soooo proud of my mom. She is my inspiration. anyone who was facing losing her dad and staying at the hospital around the clock and still managed to keep on track and lose 20lbs is awesome!!! She says she didnt want to let me down, she is so wonderful and I hate that it has taken this challange to make me see that.
We are seeing this thru and we are going to continue on until we reach our weightloss goals no matter how long it takes, we are gonna miss this challange when its over though. We have met some truely wonderful people on this journey.
We wish everyone the best of luck!!!! Thanks for all the encouraging words and support.
February 18 so frustrated!!!!What the heck is going on???? I did everything I was supposed to do this week and I lost nothing. I guess its better than gaining, its just very frustrating. Mom lost 3 which is great!!! She has lost a total of 20lbs. I am so excited for her.
I just wish I was having the same results as mom. Oh well, I will continue to do what I have been doing and hopefully I will start making more progress soon.
I know I shouldn't get upset since I stayed the same but its so hard not to wonder what I am doing wrong.
If anyone has any ideas please please share your thoughts with me.
I am going to try even harder this week and hopefully next Monday's weigh-in will have diffrent results than todays.
Oh well, im going to bed to sleep the disappointment off. Tomorrow is a new day!
February 17 lazy sundayNot much excitement today. It has been cold and rainy today so we just stayed in which means no exercise. Mom is sick so no exercise for her either. For once I didnt get all my calories in, first time since I started this challange. Mom also didnt get hers in because she was sick. We are weighing in tomorrow, I so hope we do well.
I have been looking at alot of other challengers pages and everyone is doing so well with their weightloss, ours is coming off a little slower which is ok, atleast its coming off.
I cant say enough about how this challange has been such a blessing for us. I wish everyone the best.
February 16 still on trackWe are still in the game! we have been staying in calorie range and getting in some form of exercise everyday. We weigh in on Monday, cant wait to see what happens. My goal for this next week is to try and start working out twice a day and see how that goes. Mom's goal is to start walking again now that things are going a little better with my grandfather.
I must say it is getting so much easier to make good choices while eating. It is now like part of our lives. I am amazed what an easy transition it was to change to a healthier lifestyle. I know that this is going to be a forever thing for us and we are not going to go back to our old habits when this contest is over. We are loving our new changes, so I know they are here to stay. February 12 I love the biggest loser!!I always seem to be so much more motivated after the bl on tuesday nights. I am so addicted to the show, I love Jillian and I thought it was so wonderful of her to bring in her mom to talk to her team.
As for my team, we are going strong!! stayed within calorie range again today and both of us managed to get in some exercise.
We also got great news about my grandfather, looks like he has turned a corner and they have taken him off the hospice list. He is alert, talking and even wanting food :) God truely answers prayers and is such an awesome God. Thanks to all of you for your prayers February 11 yeah!!!!yeah!!!! we had our weigh-in today and mom lost 4lbs and I lost 2lbs. You have no idea how happy that made us. I think we have finally found our way back. We are still within calorie range even eating hospital food everyday(lol)
We are staying strong and keeping each other motivated and accountable. I have called my mom so many times this week I lost count, just to make sure she was staying within her range and getting her exercise in. It's amazing how many ways you can find to exercise without equipment. I know that the people at the hospital think we are nuts
 but you have to make the best out of what you have right??I am just glad we are back in the game!!! like I said many weeks ago, WE ARE IN IT TO WIN IT!!!!! February 09 hanging in thereI know I havent been posting like I should, but we are still hanging in there. we are still staying within calorie range and still getting some form of exercise everyday. My grandfather is gradually getting worse, but we are staying strong and hanging in there.
I am hoping that we show a loss on the scales on Monday!!! since last week we stayed the same. Its very frustrating when you do all the things your supposed to and the stinkin scale doesnt move!!!!
I am happy that we are just still in the game!!
Wishing everyone the best!! May God Bless all of you :)
February 06 more bad news!!!Well considering all of the bad news we have been getting I am so amazed with our weigh-ins this week. we stayed the same no loss or no gain. could of been bad considering the stress we have been under. Hopefully next week we will show a loss.
We got the news yesterday that my grandfather now has pneumonia and the Dr. have pretty much said that he is at the end of his life and that we should just let him go. So we have decided to do just that.... we are letting him go. they will be sending in to hospice in the next few days to stay until he goes to be with the good Lord. Please pray for my family.
I am so amazed at what a strong woman my mother is!!! she is keeping everyone together and still trying to lose weight. I asked her why not just put it on the back burner until all of this is over and she said that she made a commitment to me and this challange and to herself and she is going to see it to the end because she doesnt want to let me down!! Know if thats not a superwoman then I dont know what is.
I am greatful to have her in my life.
Ok back to to reason I am blogging, I have still managed to get my exercise in during all of this and so has mom, whenever she visits the hospital she takes the stairs and parks far away so that she can get her walks in.
Once again can I just say how very proud I am of her!!! She is the greatest!
February 03 things getting betterwell things are finally turning around with grandfather. Mom and I are still on the right track and hopefully we will see good results at weigh-in tomorrow. I miss not blogging everyday so I am really trying to get back in the habit.
I am working out twice a day now and it is actually going pretty well. Mom and I have been doing great with calories everyday but have been slacking in the journal keeping. We are just taking it one day at a time and really trying to get back on our routines. We are still keeping each other accountable which is a huge thing for us!! We have gotten so much closer since this challange has begun and I am so excited. I see so many changes with my mom and I am so very proud of her.
stay tuned to see what happens at weigh-in tomorrow!! |
