Today I am back at it.
I had a very firm talk with self and I have come to an agreement that I MUST do something now before I end up as a candidate for the Biggest Loser.
It helped that some of my awesome friends (love them dearly!) have decided to start up a challenge (kind of)... It is basically challenging all of us to either sts over the holidays or lose weight over the holidays... in other words; stay in control. Don't be that 85% that gain 10 lbs or more over the holidays.
I am stepping out of denial and here are
My goals:
1) On Dec 17 is my Cousins wedding shower (be down 5?)
2) On Dec 31st is my Cousins Wedding (be down 10?)
3) On Feb 27 is my 24th Wedding anniversary
4) In June is my Son (last child) grade 12 graduation (be at goal)
I have about 30+ lbs to lose. Can I do it in 7 months? I think it is doable... the first two goals may be pushing it a bit (unrealistic) but I am going to try darn it!
Hurdles for december:
* wedding shower
* wedding
* 3 christmas dinners
Time to get going on this! Time to stop hiding, whining and lazin on the couch...
Boy I hope I can keep the momentum up
Thinking possitive... thinking possitive... thinking possitive... I am going to need a lot of help here!

Still here
I haven't left - will never leave -
had a long talk with my chiropractor... he has been with me through thick and thin -
I have knee issues and our conversation started when he told me my knee is wrecked and may need surgery... and my weight is a factor especially going up and down stairs or trying to sling bales.. the twisting is a no-no but my weight doesn't help.
well, he hit a nerve and knew it - but he was very sympathetic. He told me I was never going to get back to pre-baby or young twenty body.. I said I could hope can't I?
I dont' feel beautiful... I WANT to feel BEAUTIFUL!
I am back up over 180... I did STS this past week but I am certainly no biggest loser.
I'd be voted off in a flash with all the whining and complaining I do and no weight loss.
I did take my bike into the shop to get the back tire changed. Will attach the bike to my stationary frame. Supposed to ride it a minimum 30 minutes a day. He wants me swimming too - I guess I should get to the pool - boring when you have no one to go with. He wants me to walk lots... that I am kind of doing. I have a walking video I guess I should use it in the bad weather.
Not looking forward to the pain in my knee when I start cycling or swimming... shock wave therapy (on the lowest setting) is torture! I got a migraine from it this week - I was so stressed, jaw clenched, shoulders tight - all in anticipation of this wonderful shock wave therapy. I have to admit it has helped - or should I say it has taken some of the tension away on my knee (not my neck or jaw!) but now my ACL and the Collateral legaments are super sloppy and cause more pain and I have to wear a brace to keep things from going in the wrong direction when I am twisting. I didn't realize how much I twist until he got things loosened up.
Someone please come and kick my a** I really need some motivation and ENERGY.

Train Wreck
That's me... a complete train wreck.
No excuses, I have been eating whatever I want, when I want.
I feel absolutely ICK!
Bloated, blah, crappy, tired, getting grumpy and down right ICK
But I complain royally when I can't fit into something.
I'm tired - tired of trying to lose weight, tired of not being able to lose weight, tired of being fat, tired of people telling me how I should do it. tired of looking at pictures of myself before and after and after and before...
Yep, a complete train wreck.

Oh Dear!
Well, this past week has been a life of Riley... many parties, including my own birthday. I don't expect ANY loss tomorrow - I FULLY expect a gain and for good reason.
My hubby got me a sweet card and flowers for my birthday then sweetened the deal with halloween chocolates - they are on sale now you know! lol
I still have that half marathon on my mind... my friend isn't able to compete with me... but I really think I will do it even if its alone.... Thinking about this, I do have someone else I could ask. there is a gal at my WW meeting that may be willing... hmmm if I see her tomorrow (if she attends) then I think I will ask her. I better get all the info together...
