March 17 we are still hanging inWell, I havent been able to post for a few days. We have had alot of saddness going on within our family the past week or so. We have had a cousin pass away and then a dear dear friend of ours.
But......I must say we are doing so well. We have been within our points range everyday and have also managed to walk 3 miles a day. I have also been working out for 2 hours a day to go along with the walking. I was able to wear a size 14 skirt to church yesterday!!! it had been hanging in my closet for 2 years!!! I was sooooo excited. Mom is also seeing great results in her clothes and has even gone down a size or 2...
I am really excited to see who is gonna get to go to LA for the finale....I wish they would tell us already!!!
Hope everyone has an awesome day!!! March 11 so sadso sad that today is the last day of the challange. I will miss everyone!!! As for us we are going to continue to blog and post our results. It helps so much!!!!
I wish all of the challangers the best of luck on your contiued journey and those of you who are lucky enough to win a trip to the finale please give Jillian a great big thanks from us lol!!
I honestly do not know where we would have been if it had not been for this challange. We got so much more out of this than we ever dreamed possible. First of all we are on the right track to getting our lives back and we are becoming so much more healthy and motivated, second this challange has given me a new best friend. My mom and I have become extremely close with this process and That is something I will cherish more than anything. I feel that I have won the grand prize already!!! I never knew what an amazing woman my mother is and all that she has to do on a daily basis!!! I know now that she is superwoman and I am glad that getting healthy she will be around alot longer!!!
Thanks to everyone and we wish you contiued success in 2008!!!! March 10 ONEderland!!!!I am so excited to say that I no longer have a 2 as the first number of my weight!!!! We went to weight watchers this morning praying they would let us weigh in and they did. Well I am not at 198!!!! I cried..... I cant remember the last time I was below 200. Mom is doing great as well, she is 5lbs away from onederland.
It has motivated me soooo much more than I ever imagined it would. I wish Jillian was here so I could give her a great big thank you hug in person!!! she has truely been my motivator this entire challange.
well it is early and I just wanted to share my good news. I will let you know how the rest of our day goes later!!! I posted a new pic of me at my new awesome weight of 198!!!
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!! March 09 so excited!!!Well for the fun of it I decided to try on my "skinny Jeans" today and they fit!!!!! I screamed and scared poor daughter to death!!! I was able to zip them and button them without laying on the bed. hehe. I also can breathe in them. I was getting so frustrated because the scale wasn't moving but now I see that I have lost alot of inches. Maybe I can wear my skinny jeans to the finale?? lol (hopefully)
Anyways, mom is feeling better and we actually went to the lake and walked. We both stayed with our points range as well. We have moved our weigh-in day to tuesday because we missed last Monday and with weight watchers it has to be exactly a week, so......now its Tuesday. I am getting more and more excited on weigh-in day because its so nice to see that you are actually making progress. When I am having a bad day I just remember what I am working so hard for and it gets me through.
Off to bed now, early kickboxing class at the gym in the morning. I also start my personal training certification classes in 2 weeks. I am so loving life right now!!! I cant wait to see what the future has in store for the new Shirley and Teresa!!
STAY TUNED
 March 08 busy daywell I am loving all my new energy that i have since I have been in this challange, I got into one of my cleaning modes today and cleaned everything I could get my hands on in my house. I stayed within my points range and I didnt do any other exercise besides the 10 hours of cleaning.
Mom is still sick, she FINALLY went to the dr today and whatever she has turned into a sinus infection. She is now on meds so hopefully she will be back to her routine in the next couple of days.
We are really sad that this challange is coming to an end this week, I do believe we have decided to continue with our space. It has helped so much having so many other people to chat with that are dealing with the same challanges that we are. Makes this journey so much easier with all of the support!! I wish you all the best and I hope everyone reaches their goal in 2008. March 07 hanging inWe are still hanging in there. Mom is still very sick so for the past few days she has been unable to eat or exercise. I on the other hand have been doing very well. I am actually looking forward to weighing in on Monday. I have been staying within my points range everyday and I have been exercising 2 hours a day. I even went to 2 birthday parties today and didnt even think about having having anything sweet!!! I was so proud of myself.
I am so loving the fact that we are having warmer weather. It is so motivating.
March 05 what a dayWell mom is sick so of course no exercise or eating for her today. I stayed within my points range and also managed to get in an hour of cardio today. I also found this awesome book yesterday on Pcos which has given me alot of insight as to why I am losing weight so slowly. I have been eating all the wrong foods!!!! apparently pcos patients process certain foods diffrently and I have been all the wrong foods. foods that I thought were healthy but for pcos they weren't. so Im trying some new things the rest of this week and see what happens. I am really excited about finding this book!!!
Hopefully mom will be feeling better tomorrow so that she can get in her walking, I am loving that it is starting to get warmer here so that we can start taking our nightly walks as a family.
I am also excited about this spring and summer season because for the first time in 10 years I will be wearing shorts in public. Who knows I may even get to wear that sexy bikini I have always dreamed of!!! I am so looking forward to warm weather for a change.  March 04 Happy Birthday to momwell today is mom's birthday and we cheated a little bit and had Ice cream cake for her. She weighed in today and stayed the same. I managed to get in 2 hours of exercise today and mom walked for 30 minutes. Over all i think we are doing great. We are so used to our lifestyle change that most of the time we dont even have to think about what we are going to eat, we just automatically make healthy choices.
I cant wait to see biggestloser tonight. I am so addicted to the show. It would be such a dream come true to meet Jillian. she is such an awesome personal trainer!!! She is so my inspiration and I hope that one day I can motivate and inspire atleast one person the way she has inspired me to become a better person emotionally and physically. March 03 back to realitywell we are back from our trip to disney. I did pretty well, I definitly got in my exercise everyday!! The eating wasn't great but I didn't eat as healthy as I should have. The good news is I didn't gain anything while we were away!!!! But of course I didnt lose either..over all I am pretty happy with the way I handled myself on vacation!
My mom did awesome while I was away and of course we talked to each other everyday to make sure we were both doing the things we were supposed to. Have I said lately what a wonderful woman my mother is??? If not she is awesome, my grandfather is still in serious bad health and was put back in the hospital the day before we left for disney and since then has been moved to a nursing home. And yet through all the heartache she has had to endure throughout this contest she has stuck with the lifestyle changes and has continously lost weight and she did all of this because she didn't want to let me down and because she wants so badly for us to win a trip to LA....This woman is amazing and I am so mad at myself for never allowing us to become the friends we are today and for not realizing how great of a mom she really is!!! I just hope I am half the mom she is!!! I hope that Jadyn and I have a great relationship when she gets older, I missed out on alot not being close to my mom and I regret that now..... but the good thing is we are getting healthy together so that we can make up for those years we were so distant with each other. I really wish betty-sue and Ally were still on the biggest loser because I saw so much of my mom and me in them and I really wanted to see them win the show but such is life i guess!!
I am really sad that this contest is coming to an end next week, but just because the contest will be over doesnt mean we all have to quit this journey and go back to the way things were.. I know that for my mom and I we plan on reaching our goals and being the women we so want to be!!!
I wish us all the best!!!!!!! 2008 is our year |
