100

This is my 100th blog. It's so crazy to think that I've been tracking this for 100 days. I have missed about 5-6 days through out the 100 blogs, but it's cool to have these, I go back and read from the beginning....I like where I'm headed.

This weekend is full of many things. My sister in law is having her baby show this afternoon...there will be cake.....and I'll just look at it and smile. This evening I have a Hall of Fame dinner to attend.....there will be carbs.....I'll look at them and smile. Tomorrow I am attending the tailgate party prior to the football game....football food, we know that there is really nothing "good" for you when you tailgate....I'll plan accordingly. Even though these events should make me a little nervous, I know I'll be fine because I have a plan. I won't waiver and come Monday morning I'll look back and realize I did everything right.

Also it's hard to believe that a week from today I'll be heading to Denver to be apart of my cousins wedding. I plan to document the whole 2 day trip via pictures....so look forward to seeing what happens. :)

Have a great day, a great weekend and don't forget to tell someone you love them.

The difference an attitude makes

How true that your attitude is everything. EVERYTHING. How you look at things, life and the people around you. This week has really been a good test for my attitude. I am working hard at changing my thoughts and how I let me attitude drives who I am. Many times in my life I have let others attitude determan how I handle things. Not anymore. Just like emotions drive food, others attitude won't get in the way of my attitude towards things in my life. I sit here this morning and reflect on 70 pounds, what I've gone through, where I'm headed and what the final goal will look like. I can't begin to explain how excited I am to see the new me. I don't "see" a lot of changes right now because in my mind I still see the way I once was. I know that over time it will eventually not be that way. But right now, that's how I see myself...my attitude needs to change. I hear people comment on how great I look and what a difference I have made, I believe it, just don't really see it at the moment. I think it happens to all of us when we're so use to seeing ourselves one way. I've seen myself this way for 13 years. That's a long time. BUT I'm more excited to see who I'm becoming.

No longer will I let the negativeness of this world dictate how I react to myself. This isn't what life is meant to be, love who you are and enjoy the ride, I am. :)

Oh Yea!

So really I just have one thing to say today! 70!!!!!! I have hit -70 pounds. I can hardly believe it. But I can totally tell with all my clothes now. I was so excited this morning when I weighed myself, I hit the 1 pound needed to hit the 70 pounds. I wanted to lose another 10 before my cousins wedding and I have. I HAVE!!!

I still have another 80 pounds to go, but that's ok because it's all possible and I will hit my goal. I never thought I'd be looking at myself over this past summer and see the big changes I have made.

Thank you to all of you for your encouragement and support! This has been a great journey and I apprecaite you walking it with me.

Almost didn't

For some reason this morning I wasn't myself. I got up, not feeling so great, started to get ready for the day and by the time I was dressed and almost out the door I realized something. I hadn't weighed in. I thought to myself that I'll just do it tomorrow because I'm already dressed and that will just add more weight to the scales. But then I also said to myself, no because if you put it off today, you'll start putting off other things. So I figured, we'll just see what happens......

WELL let me tell you what happened....the scale showed that I had lost 6 pounds....WHAT.....6 pounds. I weighed myself 5 times this morning and each time it showed 6 pounds and I was wearing my work clothes. Shocked, oh yea! I also thought too, see I almost lost this, I wouldn't of known this..and who knows what it would of said tomorrow. I'm pretty excited because I haven't seen this number (my weight) in a really long time.

So...I have a lot to be excited about this morning. :)

Weight loss: -6 pounds

It's like the waiting game...

I feel like I am in a waiting game. I am waiting to hit the next number and I get a little frustrated when it seems like nothing is changing. I know that I need to be proud of 63 pounds, but I find myself waiting the next number now and not later. I feel like I've hit a wall, my body isn't really doing anything but "hanging" out. I know it's all a progression, but really-let's start progressing! I'm staying positive and focused, but I am not as I have been. I've let life and all around me fill my view of things.

This week I am by myself, it might be good in a way to re focus my thinking and what I need to accomplish to get to the next set of numbers. I'm running the race and I think I've fallen a few times, but I will get back up and finish.

I can't wait to see what I look like at my goal weight! It's like Christmas and I want to hurry up and see the final product of my changes and new habits.

Check it out

OK I found myself checking myself out today in the restroom. HA. I don't know, but now I have noticed that I am losing the weight. I mean you'd think that I'd get it by the piles of clothes that I have in my room that I can't wear anymore. But it took the big mirror at work for me to finally say, wow...look at me now. :) I know I mentioned that this weekend I ran into some friends of mine that I haven't seen but are following my blog and progress and they noticed. So cool.

This morning I weighed myself and it was weird because when I first weighed I would of lost 4 more pounds, but I weighed myself again and I didn't lose anything..nor gain anything. SO that was weird as to why it first showed I lost 4 pounds...then I didn't.

Well make this a great day-it's back to the grind for me.

We made it....

Well we made it through the weekend! I'm so glad that it's Sunday and I'm resting. It was a pretty interesting weekend regarding the weight loss. I didn't drink enough water and I hardly had anything to eat. I know that this week I will need to really focus on getting back in the game regarding eating all that I need and drinking all that I have been.

Even though I had all that going on I was still able to lose 1 pound. I'm now up to -63 pounds. I can hardly believe that I am only 2 pounds away from losing 65 pounds. Last night I ran into some people from HS and also that have known me through other friends and everyone commented on how great I looked. It was really cool, makes me feel good-but also know that this day was a long time coming and I can't wait to be at my goal!
