I actually did a whole 2 fast miles with Leslie Sansone! It's only a 30 minute thing, but I've only been able to do 15 minutes in the past. I'm going to try the 45 minute 3 mile tomorrow! Plus I jogged on my treadmill for about 5 minutes. Awesome! My totals for yesterday are below. I'm taking a break today and watching Biggest Loser. Although we might go for a walk if it's not too cold out.

As you can see, I've purchased a BodyMedia FIT armband! Yes, it's actually extremely helpful. Knowing how many calories I've burned against how many calories I've consumed (I have to log those myself) It's been a pretty good little motivator!So, I'm going to try and remember to post those images with my stats every day. My plan is to play the wii or walk or something for an hour and then 30 mins

My back is out again and it hurts me to work out. What a pain in the..... literally. Other then that I'm doing pretty good. I don't like to weigh myself but I'm almost in my pre-Eli jeans.

So I'm in the process of packing for my move, and tonight I'm packing the bedroom. My thoughts are these: Should I get rid of my skinny clothes? I have a lot of cute pants but are they doing more harm then good just sitting in my dresser? I have shirts to, but most of them are too little-girlish and I think I need to get rid of them. I have a bag already of "DI" clothes, but should I just be rid

I stumbled on the Williams-Sonoma Classics Collection of cookbooks yesterday and purchased a couple of them. I have to tell you that I LOVE them. I have been looking for a cookbook with pictures for every recipe for a long time and these have them! There are 29 books in the series and I plan on buying all them eventually. Maybe one every paycheck or just as I have some extra money.As you all know

So I was lazy this morning and didn't get out of bed until 8am. I normally get up around 7am to eat and get ready for the day. Anyway, we stopped at BK for some breakfast and they have these cheesy bacon wraps.. I thought "ok, it's a wrap and it has eggs and little bacon slices in it. It's probably only 5 points or so." Boy was I WRONG. One of those is 9 points (360 calories)! and it's a small

I was reading this article at WW.com.1. Ask for help — Surround yourself with motivating and encouraging people. It helps your efforts when you know how to ask for and get the help you need.2. Learn from experience — No more yo-yoing! When you recognize what’s worked in the past and what hasn’t, you can move forward accordingly.3.

Goal: 205Weigh In: 209.4**Sigh** I am very ashamed of my weigh in. I have to loose 4 lbs this week! I just have to! I need to make up for my stupid traveling eating. I do admit it had horrible things while traveling. Chips being the main culprit. but I think I did tend to eat too much during the weekend anyway. Proof that writing down everything you eat really keeps you in check!

I weighed myself this morning and was 207.2. I wanted that to my weight this week because it's more motivational to me. :)I do have to confess that I ate too much last night for dinner, and was very surprised to see that number today! I ate 38 points yesterday! I am only supposed to eat 27, so I used some weekly points, but I'm going to try and not use any more of those. :)

Yes, that's right... In our new building I'm on the second floor and I have to go up and down stairs a lot throughout the day. For one, the bathroom is downstairs, and when you drink a lot of water and iced tea, you have to pee.. a lot. So there you go. That, and I have to deliver folders and what not downstairs as well. so I go up and down the stairs at least 10 times through out the day!

In an attempt to have more visual goals, I created a calendar with my weekly goals on it. My weigh in days are on Mondays now instead of Sundays. On each Monday I wrote what my goal is, and then a spot for my actual weight. The healthy amount to lose is 2 lbs a week, so I set my weekly's at that; 2 lbs a week. If it happens to be more then that, awesome! If less than 2 lbs, it's ok, I wont fret.

I started the Walk Away the Pounds program on monday. Or, at least I was supposed to. I sorta didn't do it monday, but I did yesterday and today I made up for it by walking 2 miles instead of 1! Sweet! It wasn't easy, but I did it! I'm soooo happy I actually did a whole DVD without stopping part way through. Its an awesome workout and I'm so happy I was introduced to it! Thanks Mom and Britt! :)

I've been so scattered the past few weeks. I've been bouncing over a lot of different diet plans. The Step Diet, Weight Watchers, Beck Diet for Life, Alli, Slim Fast... This is unacceptable. I'm just setting myself up for failure again! I need to pick one and stick to it. So, I've decided to stick to Weight Watchers.The bottom line is, I want to loose weight and keep it off FOREVER.I was with WW

Hey gals! I've come up with a weekly schedule for me. You know that I am doing the Walk off the Pounds 6 week program. In addition to that, to spice things up a bit and for somthing different, I'm going to do cardio bellydance one day a week. So as follows:Monday-Wednesday, Friday & SaturdayWalk SlimThursdayBellydanceSundayRestIf you are thinking, "why bellydance?" let me tell you! Belly Dance is

Yup that's right, bathroom jumping jacks. I sit at a desk all day, so this week I decided to take my moms advice and every time I go to the bathroom, I do 10 jumping jacks...It adds more steps, but also gets my heart pumping, keeping my metabolism up. Pretty cool.I also missed my walk this mornign with Leslie Sansone. I slept right through my alarm! I didn't wake up until 8am. Sheesh. So I'm

As previously mentioned I've started reading the book "Walk Away The Pounds" by Leslie Sansone. AND I'll have you know that I did 20 minutes of her "Walk Slim 4 Fast Miles" dvd. The whole thing is about 50 minutes. I ordered her "Walk Slim System" that comes with all 4 of her Walk Slim dvds, a resistance band, and super foods meal plan book.I have to thank my sister and mostly my mom for

Weigh in: 204.3So I haven't actually weighed in for 6 weeks, but that doesn't mean that I "restart" my diet. There is no such thing as "restarting" your diet. If this were me a year ago and I fell off the wagon for 6 weeks, I would have just said, "Okay, I want to start my diet again so I'll start again tomorrow" WRONG! I've come to the great realization that this is not a diet, it is a lifestyle

So, this is going to be a very random monster post and I'll probably go off on different subjects, just to warn you. I haven't posted for so long I feel like in need to voice some stuff that's been going on in my head the last week...I weighed myself a few days ago and I was up 5 lbs, but hey, 5 lbs over the course of 3 months.. not bad. It could have been much worse and to be honest, I was

ok so, it's been a month, but hey, I've been stressing over finals and graduating. And guess what? I did it! I am afraid to weigh myself though. I have been stress eating for the past month and am afraid I've gain 10 lbs. I guess I'll find out in the morning... Or maybe I wont.. I don't know. I'm scared of the scale... It will only depress me so i'm not going to do it. Not yet...

Weigh In: 198.2Hey guys! Not a huge loss this week. I've been so busy, I haven't been paying as much attention to my eating as I should. But at least I haven't really gained any!I have a mid-term and a final next week, so it's study study study for me this weekend! yay!! *Sigh* ....

Ok, so..When I started I told myself I would only weigh myself ONCE a week... But today I cheated and weighed myself this morning because I was so upset with being 200.. and the scale said 199.2! woo hoo!!So yea... that was great, I feel better now! Now to figure out an exercise schedule and write it down. The last few weeks I've been wanting to make a poster board collage of motivation to put

Weigh in: 200.0So.. I gained half a pound. so what? I'll do better this week. I finally found my food journal and am going to log EVERYTHING I stick in my mouth. And I'm tying to get off the soda. That's another goal of mine. I've done it before and I'll do it again! Only water, juice, milk and tea for me!

Why do I always feel like trying to loose weight takes up so much time and energy? I mean, ok, I know I need to work out, I want to, but my days are so full already that I don't want to take walks or anything. I get home from work around 5 and have to leave for school at 6:30. That's only enough time to eat dinner and get my stuff ready for school.I need to get up earlier in the morning but I

So I got the new iPod Touch yesterday and it comes loaded with Nike+! I'm so excited to start using it. I just need to get the Nike+ Sensor and a new pair of good running shoes. The running shoes will wait, but I do want the sensor because I can use that just for walking. I've already registered at nikeplus.com so I just need to get started. I'm planning on working up to running. Starting with

So, I'm thinking about starting a weekly or monthly video blog. Just because it sounds fun. But I don't know. I'm also trying to think of some "features" for this blog. Like, "Weekly Quote or WW Success Story" and "Recipe of the Week" and "Article of the Week". I am going to start posting my food log or just my weekly point totals. Not sure.What do you think? Any ideas?

I'm going to add side bars with my goals and top reasons I want to achieve them. As well as a 4 week check off list from their challenge form I have. I'll check off each thing as I do them.I've been thinking about

I'm a bad person... but I'm going to the library Saturday to study.Oh, and I started my clinical internship Sunday morning... nerve racking! and I couldn't walk after it because my back hurt so much. and is

Ok, so I didn't do bad at all for my points. I had 29 out of 26. So I only went over 3 points. I have a horrible habbit of eating before bed. But hear me out, I have school until 10:30pm and I'm usually pretty active at school and get hungry in the middle. I don't know why. I just do. And I always have a big bottle of water with me and I drink it when I'm feeling hungry. However I'm usually just

So I was reading Roni's Weigh a bit ago and wanted to share this post: Can you LET IT GO? I love reading Roni's blog. This post of hers really pinned what I (and a lot of other women too) have felt about myself for the past 2 years. Granted, since being in school, I've been slowly accepting my body for what it is, but she is right, I need to just LET IT GO.

Here is my current 3-month weight loss chart (click to enlarge) from weight watchers online. The star is a 5 lb milestone loss. I wasn't very diligent in the past. But that is changing starting now. I am determined to lose the weight I've put on. I'm tired and hurt from carrying the extra weight I don't need. I'm shaping up and changing my outlook on myself. I love my body and I want to take care

Alright so, I've decided to add a photo section of my progress. I don't know if I should take a picture at the first or last of the month. Probably the last... What do you think?
