Hard Work Paid Off..27lbs lighter!!

I am pleased to say that I have lost 27lbs this week!! I am so excited about that. I am sure alot of it was water weight or whatever, but I have to say the biggest loser messed up when they didn't pick me!! Oh well, God has a plan, and I guess it was for me to go ahead and finish nursing school. Which by the way starts back in the morning in full force! A whole day of lecture! I just wanted to let everyone know my good weight loss news!!

Will I be up or down??

So weigh in day is tomorrow and I have to say that I am excited about it. I have been working my butt off with excercise and sticking to my calories and I can't wait to see what the scale says. Yeah, I know that I shouldn't be so obsessed with it, but I just can't wait to get out of these 300's and then 200's and on to better things. I dreamed last night that I weighed and was 329 haha, like that would happen in a week, only if I was on my death bed. But I am hoping for a pretty decent number.

I just finished a workout on the tredmill and then some floor excercises, abs, stretching, stuff like that. I have been cleaning the house all day, preparing for school that is starting back on Tuesday! I mean where did the summer go?? I am kinda glad, because I want to get it over with and get a paying job!! I can't remember what it is like to have your own money anymore. Completely forgot the feeling. But Lord willing, in less than a year I will be making lots of money!

So, guess I am going to finish up laundry and I can't wait to post my weight tomorrow!! Talk then!

School Time!!

Well it is that time again. School starts on Tuesday and I must say that I am ready to get it over with. Less than a year to go and then take boards and we will be RN's making the money and I can't wait. Got some cleaning to do today and tomorrow cause I always seem to put things off to last minute.

I have been doing good on my diet and I know that I am losing weight, and I am so ready to weigh in tomorrow and let everyone know how much progress I have made since I joined the gym and started on my path to healthiness!

Well, just wanted to update on what is going on, now I must clean! UGHHHHH

3rd day and counting!

So, I am loving the gym. I am working out about an hour and a half each evening and I am eating all the right foods, and I am feeling great. I am so ready to weigh myself on monday just to see how much my hard work is paying off. I am so glad that I am getting to go with my sister and we get some us time. I love the fact that we are working so hard. Well, I am so sleepy I am goingt to get to bed! Just wanted to say I am loving it!!

Loving the Gym!!

So for the past two days I have gone to the gym and I have loved it!! I have gotten away from my baby girl for a little while and got my sweat on. My sister and I got a membership together with our husbands so we have it until December sometime and it was less than $20 a month! I mean you really can't beat that. They have so much equipment and the atmosphere is very nice. I don't feel uncomfortable at all. Everyone there seems to be really nice. I have always been scared about going to the gym because I didn't want anyone to notice how big I am and talk about me. My sister is half my size, but still needs to lose a little weight and it's like I told her, fat people have to get skinny somewhere!!

I am so happy that I am enjoying it, and I am cooking healthy meals and snacks are healthy as well. Stocked up on some fruit and things and some protein that I am making mixed berry shakes with, and soy milk. They are actually really good! I just have to keep it up and I know when school starts that I am going to be exhausted, but I am going to find the time to get to the gym and to get my studying done as well. I am really going to have to depend on my husband alot and I am praying that he is up for the challenge. If we can make it 2 more semesters we will be home free and I will be nursing and making good money. He worries about money all the time and I wish that he wouldn't. I worry about it too, but there is nothing that we can do about it, but what we are doing now. Until I finish school it is going to be a struggle, but man, when I am done, we will be living it up!

So I just wanted to share my gym experience with everyone, and I am about to hit the shower and the bed!! Got to get back on track with getting into bed early and getting out of it even earlier!!

Starting Over

So I had to go and change a few things. And when I finally stepped on the scale I was sick to my stomach. No wonder I pulled a muscle in my back today. I am killing it with all this weight that I am carrying. This is my NOW and I am taking back my life. Starting from this moment on, there will be no more games, there will be no more tomorrows, there will only be today and the moments that I make with it. The food choices that I make, the steps that I take toward excercise. The role model that I want to be for my daughter.

Is there anyone else out there that is struggling the way that I am??

There will be no more excuses, they are killing me. I am stronger than this and I know that I can beat it. I know that I am can beat it!!!!

Biggest Loser Audition Charlotte

So I am still here. Really haven't been doing like I should and haven't lost any more weight, but I have been busy with the biggest loser. I went to an open casting call in Charlotte this past Saturday, August 6, and it was an experience for the book! I took the 3 hour trip with my sister who is auditioning with me, but we didn't get a call back for that. But we also were busy making a video to send in as well because you can get a call from that. Just sent that like two days ago so we will see how that goes. My major thing was, if I don't go I will never know. So we went, and had a great time and enjoyed ourselves.

This coming week I am joining the gym with my sister and a few friends and I hope that this will help to keep me on track!! Nothing like a little friendly competition to bring out the weight loss in a person! All fun though. My sister and I were thinking about some things that we could do for the winner. Kind of like our own biggest loser thing and whoever loses the most percentage in a certain amount of time, gets the prize. I want a trip to Alaska, haha, don't think that would happen anytime soon, but I tell you what I am going to get there!!

School starts back this coming Tuesday for me! I know right, where did the summer go?? The way that I am looking at it is that we are more than halfway finished! Two semesters left, a state board exam, and then I will be a registered nurse! And before that happens, or at least around the same time, I want to have lost over 100 pounds. I know that I can do it, and I know that I have said that quite alot on here lately, but I have to do it. Pulled a muscle in my back today and I am only 30 and I feel like I falling apart. Every part of my body hurts all the time, my clothes don't fit, I feel depressed all the time, I never get to enjoy life, I am always stuck at the house because my weight holds me down! Not anyMORE!!! I refuse. I have spent the past 30 years fighting this, and I refuse to spend my next 30 years hiding from the world. It's my time now!!
