Losing my Weigh

Ok, Time to work on this again....

2011-12-04T18:37:00.000-06:00

It has been far too long, and it shows. We have a wii now so I do hope I will be working at this more.
The scale has tipped too far to the heavy, inactive, not feeling great side and it is time to tip it back!!

So, we shall start with measurements and carry on.

Weight: 281
Chest: 52 Penningtons Bra
Ribcage: 43
Waist: 50 around the belly button
Low Waist:51.5
Hip: 50.5
Thigh: 28

These are the beginning again measurements. What I shall track my progress with! Hopefully I can make great progress as I really don't like this sluggish feeling that has set in. Time to revamp and rev-up. So, just to stay motivated!!! :)

Been forever..... Shame on me....

2010-07-30T21:16:00.000-06:00

Well. I have been very busy chasing a toddler. Today I got on the scale and it said..... 269lbs.. Down from 274lbs. Awesome. I am happy with that. I also quit my online games. Got to do away with that unhealthy addiction... LOL No more clicking for me!! I am now going to focus on getting my life and my house in order. I don't want to be afraid to have someone over. I don't want to be afraid that someone will ask me to go shopping. I love love love shopping... and love cloths.... I just want to find the body that I love to try them on with again... Slow and steady? Maybe. I'll get it right. Hopefully won't be so long between posts now. I love love love journals here too.. so... there ya have it. Now.. off to them smokin' needles and hooks :)

261

2009-12-07T22:37:00.001-06:00

Well the scale says I am at 261 on the button today. I am down 3.something pounds. All good. Feels good. Not doing a damn thing but looking after my girl... go figure! Anywho.. not complaining!

Been soo very very long!

2009-10-07T22:36:00.002-06:00

Hey, Just a quick note... I think my brain is busted... I got on the scale and it said 268 and I was excited. I didn't think I had seen that since... hmmmm not too long after we bought that scale... but my last post says I was 260.8..... How could that be? I dunno.. still happy to be 268 and falling..... I feel decent, and look much better than I did. (not so swollen and fat looking) I put on a sweater I got for Christmas last year today... and its big across and the sleeves are long and sloppy.. felt pretty damn good. I also wore, pre pregnancy pants.. Jeans actually.. yes they have a wee bit of stretch. I did get in them, they were tight around my Canadian tire.. but I did get in them! LOL

So, catchya all later... ttfn

I can't believe it.... can you?

2009-01-08T14:34:00.002-06:00

Ok, so, my scale now says I am down to 260.8lbs. I think this is great... Just feeding the baby and lookin after her so far.... guess we shall see what next month brings!

Weight: 260.8lbs

Wow, Can I believe my eyes?

2008-12-04T12:36:00.005-06:00

Well, I stepped on the scale rather bravely the other night... then again this morning because I could not believe what I saw. It says I am 264.8lbs. That is only up, 1.8lbs from before baby...... Baby is now one and a half weeks old... well just a day over that... so.. wow... maybe my perceived struggle to get back to my original weight won't be so bad! LOL Now, to get down to my goal on the other hand... will be another story! :) Baby's well being first though... so will be a slow process to start.. but it is always a slow process isn't it?

Have to run and make some soup for lunch! TTFN

Weight: 264.8lbs

On Hold

2008-06-28T19:05:00.001-06:00

Hey, I am over at my "Burning Hot Needles and Hooks" Blog. Losing my weigh is on hold while I make a baby... 4 months along.. will keep you posted over at the needles and hooks..
TTFN

Holy Fat Bats... Has it been that long?

2008-04-13T07:52:00.002-06:00

Wow, I have neglected you.... Feb.12 being my last post! 2 months.... well..... I hate to say it... I have been so busy with work... I'm sorry. Though I have been trying so very hard to not overeat and all that good stuff..... I think I have been doing ok. Though I have been waking up ravishingly hungry in the morning. Good thing for breakfast! Well. I have to run again.... I hope to post again soon.... and not neglect you sooo very very long!!!
ttfn

I think I have lost it.

2008-02-12T13:46:00.000-06:00

Well, today, I got my ass up out of the chair and walked for the mail... I thought I was nuts because the sun is shineing and the Weather Network says, Wynyard feels like -29cel and Yorkton like -23cel. I walked up for the mail and it felt good to be out there.. the wind, cold but not so bad... LOL So, I came home, got my handy dandy spikes(for walking on ice) and put them on, changed my coat to the work one(it's a bit longer and I don't care if I sweat in it) Put on my hat and scarf, and grabbed my warm work gloves. I do say that those gloves are down right amazing.... anyways back to my walk. So, It is freaking cold out there... but I went because I didn't look at the weather til I got back, and also because it wasn't so bad when I went the 2.5 blocks to the post office. So, I head out and I take 35 minutes there and back. I walked out my back entrance to the ally, south down the ally, then I went east down the road til the stop sign on the front street, crossed headed straight east down the gravel. When I reached the stop sign, it didn't feel too bad so I continued by going south down to the first driveway(before it was the end of the graveyard, then the first approach after the graveyard, then the tree line, now the driveway after the treeline) All good. Oh my though, turn around to come back... all I can say is "holy sheets" that wind was nippy. All the way north back to the stop sign, then some trees were breaking the wind... so then I headed back west toward the house along the gravel, at least some of the trees and houses there broke some of the wind but it was still kinda wicked..... so, I got 35 minutes, plus the 10 it took to run up and get the mail.. Feels good.

Ok, so I am ready to be real with myself here... I have gained 3 lbs. and here are the measurements(compaired to the originals taken July 26/07):
Height: 5'8 (LOL I know this won't change, but think maybe as referance, works for vitals)
Weight: 263 (I'm up 3lbs since I started this blog)
Chest: 51 (-1) good navy bra
Ribcage: 40 (+1)
Bicep: 15 (+.5)
Waist: 48 (+2) around the belly button
Low Waist:47 (-2) Compaired to first of this m'ment.
Hip: 49.5 (+.5)
Thigh: 29 (=)

So, Here it tiz, I have to start drinking more water/tea and other such things. Less pop and juice. I need to eat less(one wrap at lunch instead of 2). I need to eat regular(supper at midnight isn't really good for a person). I need to eat more veggies.

Sighs.... well that is all I have for now... talk to you later!

I suck... well... the weather sucks too...

2008-02-08T11:07:00.000-06:00

Well, we have been home for a week, over a week really. I have walked up to the co-op. I have walked up to the post office. I haven't had a long walk yet. I think though the weather is chilly and I tend to want to stay in then. We have had a couple nice days... but I lost motivation.. or ended up going somewheres... so, well, I hope this weather gets nice again and we get back to work er whatever soon....

I was feeling better and I put my skinnier jeans on and actually got them done up. So, I went and tried out the scale and it said I was still going up.... go figure... ah well.

Frustraited.

Catchya later!

Whats a gal to do?

2008-01-31T20:58:00.000-06:00

Well, Off to work we went. The weather was half co-operative and half not.... LOL So we did get some work done. I must say drinking green tea everyday is a little harder to do away from home(though I have been drinking a regular cup of tea er so daily, so not too shabby yet)... you know you get a routine at home then you go away things get all outta wack then you come home and can't get that routine back and you know damn well your not home for long.. so you don't know if you should fight to get the routine back or not? LOL Anyways, so my green tea or black tea everyday is working not too bad but needs improvement at home... my walking everyday isn't too hot... and the scale says I am going up not down to spite my efforts to eat well. Little frustraited with that... but I guess sometimes that is how it goes. Will just do my best to eat better... maybe cut down on the pop a bit more... and see what I can manage. Hopefully get that damn scale going in the correct direction... I hope.

Catchya's later...

It was snowing a wee bit...

2008-01-12T12:10:00.000-06:00

Today when I headed out for my walk it was snowing lightly. Was beautiful out though. It was nicer than yesterday, yesterday just a few steps out and my legs were freezing and once I got moving they warmed up. Today though, was not bad the whole walk. There was a point at which my face was a bit frosty feeling but, I know it was just the little bit of the breeze nipping.

I walked almost the same route as yesterday the only change being instead of a stop at the post office I stopped at the Co-Op. They didn't have what I needed so will have to remember to pick it up tomorrow in the city.

Anyways.... That's 2 days in a row to walk the long way, feels like I accomplished something... what I don't know, other than my legs were more sore today and complained more about the walk than yesterday. Oh well though, it's not a pain that makes me stop it's a pain of waking the muscles back up to say "hey, this is what walking feels like.... now move it!!!". So, it's all good.

Well, off and running, will talk to you later!

Ahh the brisk air....

2008-01-11T10:50:00.000-06:00

It was a beautiful day for a walk. I started out freezing my ass off! but once I got my ass moving... I was good. I found today as I knew before, when you walk by yourself... much nicer with a soundtrack. It was much easier to walk today, it's like your distracted so you don't feel your legs crying so much. Nice upbeat, make your ass move walking music. Today was Avril Lavigne.

I walked from home out the back door, around to the front, down the front street to the gravel, walked up the gravel to the yield sign, from the yield I went south to the tree line just North of the first farm driveway on the east side, then I walked back to railway ave, down railway to main, down main to the post office, picked up the mail. walked back to railway ave, walked down to the bar corner, turned south, walked down to SDL shop and walked down the road to the south of the house, walked in the ally up the driveway into the house. I was gone for about an hour.... maybe a little over.

Now just to do everything on my list of to-do's, ahhh

later!!!

Frick, Fruck,

2008-01-11T09:15:00.000-06:00

I'm going the wrong way. I got on the scale today, big mistake by the way! 265lbs!!! This is not fun. I'm not happy bout this at all... I am off for my walk now.. maybe I will feel better when my fat ass gets back....

Again

2007-12-18T14:19:00.000-06:00

Hey, Walked again today. Took a pit stop at the post office, but I did walk the long way.... Was beautiful out! Very crisp but not windy... and so pretty... Felt good to get out there to walk....

Walking....

2007-12-17T16:19:00.000-06:00

Hey, Been awhile.. Sorry bout that.... been busy. I was out for a walk Saturday Dec. 15. Today I walked the same route. The route being: out the back of the house, down the driveway to the ally, south down the ally, east down that street to the intersection where it meets the grid and main street, up the grid road to the yield sign, South down the gravel there past the grave yard to the approach in the next field, back from that approach to railway ave, down railway ave to the bar, south from the bar to SDL shop, back onto the original street to the alley, north up the ally to our driveway, up the driveway into the house. Was a good long walk.. probably about 40minutes. My legs were tired today, my feet felt like lead. And what pops into my head "Putt, Putt, Putt, The fat is falling off your Butt!!" LOL Ok, it wouldn't go away either... so here I am out walking to this.... but at least I was out walking. I didn't walk yesterday, in fact didn't leave the house. It was a snower and a blower and just lovely so, I walked good today... :)

I have also been trying to eat less. No seconds.. and smaller firsts. I now take a small cereal bowl for my breakfast instead of a super soup bowl, which is twice as deep as the regular... fine for soup... but watch what else you eat that way.. LOL

Anyhow, that's about it for now... Been slacking in measurements and weigh In's too I know but the scale is going the wrong way... trying to fix that before I remeasure...

TTFN

Been a while

2007-12-15T13:56:00.000-06:00

Well, today I did good. I know, only 2pm but I have done well already!!! I got up earlish. Made Hubby breakfast, had my half and half of regular cheerios and fruity cheerios(very yummy). I had my vitamin. I did my dishes, I have steadily been working on laundry. LOL no fun if you have no cloths.... ooh wait... maybe it would be more fun? Nah, your right... -12 would feel lots colder naked!!! LOL I have gone for my walk. Long walk, As posted in Dec 17th post.

Good day, all round...

Keep it up?

2007-11-07T13:33:00.001-06:00

Well, I walked again today. Hubby stayed in. Actually he loaded some crap in to the truck. I walked the long way around town to the mail. Stopped in and cast my vote then walked home. Took just under an hour for my walk... so, I am getting just over 1/2 hour of exercise if you take out the post office and the other stop. So, it's good! Now just to make it a habit! LOL But, I am getting there!

Brrrr

2007-11-06T21:33:00.000-06:00

Well. Hubby and I walked for the mail again today. If we keep this up, it might just become a habit! LOL We didn't walk the short way like we wanted to because it was cold, and the wind was wicked yet again today! We instead walked through town a bit... up the alley down the street, down another street up to the post office, up to the co-op, then home. Was a good walk. Good for both of us... but it sure was damn chilly!!! Felt better when I thawed at home.

Walking

2007-11-05T16:19:00.000-06:00

Well, I walked the long way to the mail on Thursday Nov. 2nd. My hubby actually joined me today for a walk to the post office, the long way. I want to start walking more. Just because we are no longer on the road working and I need the exercise. Maybe it will help the weight loss along too... and make me feel better.. I know it works, it has before. I just find it hard to be motivated without a walking partner. Ah, well.. hopefully I will get to walking the long way around both ways to and from the post office and feel really good!

Fumbling

2007-10-30T09:25:00.000-06:00

Hey, yes, fumbling. I have had 3 large... maybe 4 large Vanilla capachino's... very bad. But they were sooo good and it was cold out... HAHAHAH excuses... Next time... smaller.. I should only have a small. But I am thinking I will try a Vanilla Steamer and put an earl grey tea bag in it so it is a London Fog. Think that is about the right taste. So, that is the goal... to get down to small cap.'s or switch to steamer though I bet they are both bad for you!!!!! LOL so... medium of either.... we shall see... Though I haven't had much pop. I had a can of 7-up the other day. With my Chinese food. Eh, it was yucky, the 7-up, not the Chinese. Love the Chinese at that place... its sooooo good!!! and not greasy!!! Love it.

Anyways. I should be out walking... I need to kick myself in the ass. It's kinda dreary out, just makes me want to stay in ... but I need to get my ass out walking... and yes. My ass needs it. I think I would feel less tired too. In fact, I know previously if I could get out for a walk, I felt better... so need to haul my ass out.

Beyond that, holding my own. Ish. The weather has been dreary then sunny then cold then then then... you know how it can be... today is dreary, but I am walking anyways!!!

TTYL

Holding steady.

2007-10-11T11:00:00.000-06:00

Well, I weighed a couple days ago. I weighted about the same as I did last time... so at least holding steady. That's a good sign. I mean at least I am not gaining. Which is always good. Been cold and wet and sucks the life outta a person the last bit.. so haven't been too enthused about walking... course we have still been working too, which in itself will keep a person from walking. Oh well... one of these days... I have been doing pretty good sticking to the medium french vanilla instead of the large... now just to switch to the small... one of these days... getting there.... every time I have to stop to pee at the side of the road on the way to the city... makes me think "If I had only had a small... would I still have had to pee?" LOL

Anyhow.. not much on this front to talk about... so Later...

Bleh

2007-09-13T11:56:00.000-06:00

Feeling icky today, Made a trip to the city yesterday in the rain... well lets see first tried to work in the rain. Gave that up went to the city to do some shopping. We ate at A&W in the mall.... well... lets say we don't wanna do that again soon. A burger and fries with a root beer and my guts are just nasty today! I mean nasty... Guess healthy choices pay off better.. we really would have liked chili from Timmies but know damn well the line would have been an hour deep at the time we got to the city. *sighs* Other than that we haven't eaten out much. Been eating good home cooked stuff, even if it is a deli meat wrap that I whip up. Still better for us than that restaurant crap... And that's about it for now.... I know I don't post tonnes here but don't find that there is a lot I can say other than I am working and trying to eat right... occasionally fall off the bandwagon and have some fries er something but nothing significant yet.... come winter... I will log walking and stuff if I can get up the, get up and go to walk then tell ya about it! LOL
anyways, off an running... TTYL

2nd Measurement - 1 month ish

2007-08-30T08:37:00.000-06:00

Height: 5'8
Weight: 257.1 lbs Down - 1.7lbs (at least in the right direction)
Chest: 51 (wearing good white bra) - 1 inch
Ribcage: 39 = same
Bicep: 15 + .5 inch
Waist: 45.75 (around the belly button) - .25
Low Waist:49 No measure to compair
Hip: 49 =
Thigh: 28.5 -.5

Totals lost: 1.7lbs and 2.25lbs

Feels good. The little changes are helping. Hopefully with being home I can get out and do some walking... get some other parts of me tightened up. I want to make some home made soups and such... straight from the garden so.. that is a beautiful thing!!! And hopefully eat better through the winter. But we shall see how that goes.

Haven't forgotten

2007-08-20T09:33:00.000-06:00

Hey, I haven't forgotten about this here.... I have just been busy with work. Though it is hard to be with the weather the way it is. I have been trying to follow what I am aiming for. I had an order of fries the other night... I didn't eat them all as they came with gravy on them and I have never been a fan... so, I guess it kept me from eating them all, good job huh? LOL I have also been trying to have a medium french vanilla cap instead of the large. I don't know how much difference 4 ounces makes but, it tends to not make me feel ill so all is good. Mind you when we headed out on the road for a 3 hour drive I still took the large....... bad bad bad... I should have had a bottle of water. Ah well, next trip, I think, I hope, we shall see!! Next week I will weigh and measure and see what kinda difference a month makes.
Catchya later!
