Weigh In day!

Previous week's weight: 174.8

This week: 173!!!!

Considering I got this number over Christmas break, I couldn't be happier!!!!!!

Results!

I did the work, now I get to see the results!!!!

Weigh-in today:

Weigh in days are the best.....especially when you know you've worked your butt off to see the number fall.  

This week, Christmas week, will be tough but I know I have the willpower to reign in my sweet tooth.  Do you?  Good luck!

Food for thought.....

If you want the results, you've got to do the work!!!!

This is something I've been telling myself all day today! 

See....I've got oodles of candy, gingerbread houses, caramel popcorn, cookies, pie, you name it.....it's all sitting in my house, staring me in the face, daring me to taste.  

And I'm not gonna lie.....while helping my boys with their gingerbread houses today, I licked frosting off my fingers, and even ate 2 pieces of candy, but what's more important is that I stopped myself, and for that I'm very proud of myself.  In the past, I would've kept eating.....sugar is my weakness.

I am loving the way I am feeling!  I love how much confidence I have in myself because I'm showing self-control and determination.

My workouts at Crossfit the past week have improved in endurance and I know that it's because my body isn't laden with junk.  

I love that I still feel like I'm living and not completely voiding my life of comfort foods.  Yes, I eat a slice of bread now and then (this morning I ate a slice with my egg white omelet....so yummy!).  

I guess I'm just very happy with new habits I'm forming and the results that I'm seeing!

Speaking of results, take a look at my inches lost last week:

Love ME!

Drum roll please!!!!!

Last week's weight: 186.2 lbs.

This week's weight: 178.4 lbs.

 

Weigh in was this morning........I am down almost 8 pounds!!!!!  I am super stoked and super motivated to keep going!  Although, right now, I have a counter full of Christmas treats just staring me in the face.....it is kind of hard to resist, but I don't want to screw my momentum up.  I can be strong and resist some sugar!

A new "weight loss challenge"

Yep, that's right....I'm doing a new weight loss challenge.  It started today.  My sister and her Herbalife Wellness Coach are heading it up.

I am stoked!  So excited to start a new journey!

I am ready to prove to myself that I can lose these last 36 pounds!

We had our initial weigh-in this morning, and since I am participating from out of the area, I send my weigh-ins via text:

This number is by far the ugliest number I have seen in a year.  And I was very depressed and frustrated with myself this morning for letting this number creep back up.

But.....

.....I am proud of myself for taking this step and joining this challenge (even with all my fear and insecurities) to better myself.

this was my workout this morning....

And I'm trying to add eggs into my breakfast (eggs are not my favorite).....this is one way I've found that I can actually stand them.....with green peppers, onions, and spinach.
