Goal!!!!!

Ok well not my ultimate goal, but I hit my first goal!!!!  Officially 158 pounds!!!

SW: 174.6

PTG: 38


I am very excited with the progress I have made so far. In only a months time I have lost 16 pounds, if I keep up at this pace I will reach my end goal by February. I set my end date for the last day of April but would love to hit it that early so I can spend the rest of this deployment getting super toned.

And then it gives me plenty of time to get rid of all my fat clothes and buy an all new wardrobe before my husband comes home. I want to be able to show myself off every single day for him, nice clothes, makeup and hair fixed every single day :)

I know he could care less if I do that, he loves me even if my hair is in a messy bun, wearing sweats and no make-up but I used to love dressing up and want to be that way again.

Reaching my first goal has definitely put a boost in my confidence, now I know I can reach my goal without any help from anyone else. I feel prettier and overall better about myself, which is making me want to be better in other parts of my life. I plan to be a completely different and better person by the time he gets home.

Progress

I have currently lost a total of 15 pounds!!! I still have a long way to go, 39 pounds to be exact. But I know I can do it i have already made so much progress and can see the difference in just the last few weeks. I feel better not eating all the junk I would normally be eating and not drinking pop all the time, my go to drink is always water. I can see how much smaller my face is and with taking update photos I am able to see a full body difference that otherwise I wouldn't see.

Weekly weigh-in

So on Sundays i do my weight check. My previous posting i hadn't weighed since last sunday and i said it was 166, I'm glad to say that is incorrect.

Slow progress

My progress has been extremely slow coming, while I am very happy with the little progress I have made. It is kind of depressing to think of how far I still have to go.  I am pretty much willing to do anything at this point to lose the weight. I am tired of my clothes not fitting me right and the longer it takes to move down a pant size the worse I seem to feel.

I will be so excited when the day comes that I fit into my size 12 jeans, even though that isn't much of an achievement since I am currently in a size 14. I know that I will feel so much better about myself, because I will be able to tell that all of my efforts have made a difference.


I am on day 12 of my squat challenge. And I plan to start doing zumba on the xbox, did a few minutes of it before my daughter woke up from her nap, and it felt more like a workout than anything else I have done lately.

Would like to start going to the gym soon as well, I really want to start using the treadmill.

30 day squat challenge….woo hoo!!!

Day 1 of my 30 day squat challenge complete, ready for tomorrow to start day two. Also got up at 630 and got on the tread climber and walked for a mile and a half with a friend after dropping our oldest kids off at school.  Im sure i will be in tons of pain tomorrow, but i will NOT let that stop me from reaching my goals!!

My Inspiration

Instead of pictures of super skinny models to inspire myself I am using old pictures of myself. It makes my goal seem more realistic since this is how I used to look.
I don't want to be as small (108) as i was in these pictures, but its still a more realistic goal of how i should look.

I have finally let myself relax a little and not stress out so much about every little thing. It has definitely helped me lose some weight and i am no longer craving the sweets and pop like i was before.

I have my small goals that i want to reach at different times and to motivate myself i am allowed a prize when i reach that goal.  My first is new makeup, any type and brand that i want. I am only 9 pounds away from that goal.  Seeing that number get closer is really helping to motivate me and lift my spirits knowing that i can do this and i have only been holding myself back this whole time.

I do have a goal for my ending weight but my true goal at the end is having my husband home from deployment and getting to see the woman he fell in love with 6 years ago.
