100 and losing

So I am happy to say that I finally hit my 100 lb weight loss.  I am so excited. I started my journey at 307 lbs on my first day of weight loss class and this morning I weighed in at 207 lbs.  So I have 67 more lbs to lose to reach my goal weight.

Unfortunately it is only 5 lbs in the last 3 weeks.  Time to really start working harder.  I just don't understand why I get in these ruts. I've been really bad and not going to the gym. It's like I lost my motivation now that I can't pay for my trainer.  I still go walking at night a couple times a week if I don't go to the gym, but I really need to step up my game.

I still haven't had a drink and wont until I lose the 30 I said so, 25 lbs more to go...lol

My goal is to lose 3 lbs per week so, I seriously better get back to business. 

Losing Slowly

So I'm still not losing as much as I had wanted.  I have decided not to have any alcohol until I lose 30 lbs.  I've lose 3 lbs since and am currently at 210 lbs.  Almost 100 lbs from when I started my Journey; 71 since surgery 8 months ago.

I've gone from a size 26/28 in clothes to a whopping 14.  Based on that, I've lost half of what I used to be.  Pretty proud.  Since I know I am still losing inches, I am not beating myself up too bad on the weight loss.  

I just know I need to work harder and stop the between meal snacking.  Instead of picking at things because I'm bored or they look good, I need to just drink more water. I'm still not drinking nearly enough water as I should be.   :(

I'm getting enough protein in my diet, but am still losing hair.  This is depressing.  I am so used to having a head full of beautiful, thick curly hair and unless you really know me you would never guess at the hair loss but I have half the hair or less that I used to!

 

Bariatric Wellness Appointment

So yesterday was my 3 month check up at the Bariatric Wellness center in Burbank.  I am sad to say that I only lost 12 lbs in the last 3 months.  Miranda told me I am getting to many calories and really need to keep better track of what I am eating and to either cut out 1 meal or cut out my protein supplement.  I really need to be at my goal weight by my 1 year check up. This means i need to lose 70 pounds in the next 4 months.  I don't really think this is a possibility...I would need to lose more than 4 lbs per week.  I am thinking 45-48 lbs is more likely but that is still losing 3 lbs per week.

It is time to up my game and really bear down and get my butt to the gym 4-5 days per week.  I have really slacked off this last month.

Doctor Visit

So I went to my regular Doctor appointment 2 weeks ago and my blood pressure was 100/60 which for me is incredible.  The Doctor decided to cut my medication from twice a day to once a day and he also did blood work to check my cholesterol.  I made an appointment for 2 weeks to recheck my blood pressure and 7 months after surgery I am OFF my Blood Pressure as well as my Cholesterol Medications.  

I am down to 212 pounds and a size 14.

WOOHOO this makes me a very happy girl.

Inches

So I have lost 2½ inches in the last month, 4 inches overall since the beginning of April when I started the gym/trainer. 

I’m down 1% body fat in the last month 2% since the beginning and down 12 lbs in 2 months.

Since I hit my 5 month mark after surgery I have noticed that I am losing weight at a slower pace.  This is normal but annoying!

Today I stand proud at 216 lbs...91 lbs lost since May 7, 2014 and 64 lbs since surgery on 11/25/14.

This Weeks Workouts

I find it absolutely amazing, that you can burn this amount of calories by just walking.  

I wish I would have taken the time to walk every day.  I am so much happier now that I am exercising 4-5 days per week, than when I don't.
 

I have also been kicking my own butt with the muscle strengthening and toning I am doing.

Tomorrow is another session with my Trainer Heather.  I look forward to my sessions with her.  To see what new exercises and strengthening she teaches me so I can add to my routine.
