September Conquered!

Month Total: -9.8 Pounds
Start: 291.2 End: 281.4
Start BMI: 44.3 End BMI: 42.8

Feeling pretty good! Wanted to loose a total of 10 pounds, but i say that is close enough! I had no free days, no soda, and stuck to my 1 gallon a day for the majority of the month. I allowed myself to eat out, but stuck with my WW points and chose the best thing i could. I'm just really proud of myself for finally sticking to it. Will power was in high gear with no room for excuses. Last month proved i can still enjoy life while getting this weight off. I don't have to hide or stick to a crazy diet plan or exercise regiment. I'm practicing every day to make this journey a life style change. I'm out to not only change my outside, but my inside as well. All the way from my brain, to my thighs, to my heart, and my soul. You can't fix one and expect everything else to fall in line. Everything has to get together and work for the main goal = a healthy lifestyle.

I'm pumped for October and the results to come. Today i plan to get my measurements and pictures taken. I want a visual record to look back on. Something to keep pushing me forward. Something to look at to see the me i never want to be again. Sticking with pretty much the same goals as September, but allowing one free day this month. Maybe! I rocked so well last month that i may try for month #2 with no free day. I don't want anything to make me slip up!

Here's to the next 10 off!

Feeling Powerful

1st week of September down and I'm feeling AWESOME! Lost 1.2 pounds with me being at an even 290 now. I'm coming 280's, I'm coming! LoL I stuck to my exercise schedule without changing it or missing a day. I said no to a dozen doughnuts that traveled with me for a whole day until i got home to give them to Lewis. I said no to Lewis' leftover pizza and no to chocolate cake at work. The smell diet sure got me through the week. Sniff Sniff! LoL I was also able to get a gallon of water in every day of the week. Talk about commitment! That gallon water jug has become my new best friend. :D

This week has been going strong. Really wanted to skip my tone day yesterday since i got home around 10pm, but i took a breath and just got it done. I had to stay up late anyway for the next day's night shift, so, there was no reason i couldn't get it done. I know what i want and skipping exercises and flipping around my workout calendar is not going to get me there. It just pushes me back! The longer i stick to this, the easier it will be.

Really proud of myself for my food choices and sticking with my WW points again. Pre-planning as  far ahead as i can really is helping and keeps me on track. Staying away from situations where i have to choose food the last minute is the best plan of attack right now. One day i will be strong enough and want to choose the right things, but for now...not so much. haha

I'm ready to rock the rest of this week and see what my next weigh in shows. :D
