Oh my goodness...TOM is approaching...I want all types of things I know I don't need. Almost every single month TOM gets the best of me. I am allowed a cheat meal but I'm holding off on that for now. I really want to get that scale moving.....so no chinese, pizza or fried chicken, doritos or cake...no no NO!!!!! I can do this and I can remain strong!!!!!

I was feeling a little bummed because the scale really hasn't moved much lately. Let's see last week when Maria weighed me I only lost .5 pound and this week I weighed the same. I just don't understand it...I mean I've never exercised this much plus I'm doing yard work so I knew I would lose SOMETHING. I'm not giving up though. I have my measurements for the last few weeks so I can't deny the fact that I am making progress. I guess I just have to be patient. Here's my measurements

I lost a half of a pound (228) plus a few inches. Even these stubborn thighs are moving!! Yes!!!! I was hoping for more than a half of a pound but I won't complain. Hopefully soon I'll see the difference in my clothing.

Maria wants me for the next 7 days track my calories. She wants to see where I'm coming in calorie wise. She even wants me to track my calories for my cheat meal. Dang! She also said if I don't know the calories for something then don't eat it. I guess that eliminates the banana pudding parfait I was scoping out in the cafe at work. ...

Let's see what have I been up to???

Well I had my weigh in last Tuesday with the trainer and I weighed in at 228.5. At the beginning of the program I weighed 232 so it's a start in the right direction! I also lost some inches and that always helps!! Right now I'm more interested in the inches anyway. I told the trainer (Maria) that my goal for this 6 weeks is to get into a size 16. I've just never been able to get past an 18 no matter what I've tried. I plan to make my goal!!

The workouts are going okay. I'm just so sore!! I'm okay the day of the workout...

Well I haven't been losing much on my own so I decided to try something different...I joined a weight loss program that's ran by a trainer of a gym here. I had been interested in something like this for a while now but was having trouble finding something that fit my schedule. The group will meet on Tuesday and Thursdays evening to workout plus she will be taking my weight and measurements once a week. She (Maria) also gave us a food journal to keep and she wants to review every time we come to workout. I just started writing my food down in this journal on Wednesday but it's amazing how...
