Oh Wow!

I ahven’t been here in so long. Everyone look so different but in a good way of course :o).

Can you believe it the last time I was her was probably in November of 2007 and I still managed to maintain my weight, well for the most part.

I am currently 148 LBS that is 3+ than since I achieved my goal of 145. I will be attending a wedding in August and will be working on hitting 140. Please consider me back in the game. I need your support :-)

I will also post some new pics later.

Still Maintaining My Weight!

Hi Buddies, I know I haven’t been here a lot since I have acheived my weightloss goal. I have been busy with work and managing a home and two kids…..What I want you to know is that I am enjoying every moment of my new body, I am confident, I look great and I still get lots of compliments. The most enloyable thing about my success is that I get to shop a lot, just a few days ago I bought a pair of jeans and it was a size 29…..this is first for me…even before I got pregnant with my last child I wore a size 34 jeans.

I still watch what I eat and I continue to exercise but only 3 times per week for 20mins each time as I don’t want to loose weight. Yes I have gained a pound or 2 here and there but when that happens I usually increase my exercise to get back to my normal weight.

One of my concerns was that once I lost the weight I would eventually gain it all back because I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the new lifestyle change……….WRONG……..I found that I no longer crave the foods I used to like, I can’t stand the taste of pop/ soda so I only drink water. I hardly ever eat rice ( used to be a big rice lover) I take my own snacks and lunch to work and I still contine to eat 5 times per day. Since I can’t really give up ice-cream, I have traded it for low calorie/fat frozen yogurt, it’s so yummy you wouldn’t even know the difference.

You have the strength, the determination and the drive to succeed. I did it and so can you, keep going, keep strong. I do hope I have motivated you today…….check out my new photos……Good luck with your weigh in this week……..Muah!

STOP! DON’T GO ANY FURTHER…

Sorry buddies I haven’t been here lately. Returning to work has changed my entire daily routine. I am still getting a lot of compliments about my weightloss and have been told by many including my husband not to lose any more weight. At 5ft 7 and 145lbs I look really slim. I don’t know how much of a difference 5 lbs will make but hubby thinks if I loose anymore I will look like I am sick or something. Since I care about him I will stay at 145lbs and now focus on maintenance.

My Smoking New Body

My first day at work was great, can’t believe i’ve forgotten all the stuff however I am being re-trained this week. After being off for one year seems like so much has changed. Everyone kept commenting on my weightloss , one of my friends think I look fab and says I shouldn’t loose any more weight. Check out my new smoking body and tell me what you think…..

Good News & Bad News

Good News

Oh my gosh! I can’t believe I am this close to my goal weight…..I did it. I committed and I am seeing the success of that commitment. I have only 6 more lbs to loose and hoping to do so in about two weeks. My husband said he is so proud of me, he said he didn’t think I had the discipline to stick to the program but I guess I wanted to loose those unwanted pounds so bad I prepared myself mentally and physically to do the work. I still can’t believe I am now 146 lbs……I wasn’t even at this weight before I had my daughter, woo! hoo!

More Tragedy

My husband’s grandmother passed away, she just made it to her 90th birthday and peacefully departed one day later. The family is once again hit by tragedy. My husband is broken up over the death as he was very close to his grandmother, in fact he lived with her in Florida for a while. My MIL who was her visiting and to assist with the kids when I return to work ( tomorrow ) had to leave, she was also very close to her mom as she was taking care of her. My MIL is now beating herself up because she was not by grandma’s side when she passed. I guess in time we will all heal.

I have been through quite a bit this year and my faith and strength have been tested over and over but with all that has happened I still manage to keep it together. I keep telling myself that next year has to be a better year for me…….after all there is calm after the storm right??

To you all, have a wonderful Sunday…..

Work, Work, Work

Hi buddies I will be returning to work in two weeks after a year of maternity leave. Strangly I am excited to return, mind you i’ll miss my kids but it’ll help me to take my mind off my problems…..you know….my hubby being sick and all. What i am most excited about is returning with a brand new body, I have to say. I enjoy shopping now.

Have a splendid day everyone…..

Finally out of the 150s…..

Hey buddies, I am so excited I am now at 149 lbs and within my healthy weight range according to my BMI. Most of all I am excited because i am even closer to my goal weight. Think I can hit my goal weight before returning to work on July 9? Well that’s my new challenge. Oh I was finally able to fit into a pair of skinny jeans and if I must say so myself……I looked ‘hot’ in it too…..i’m not lying, check out my photo…lol

I’M STUCK!!

I’m Stuck!

I can’t seem to get out of the 150s, it’s not because I don’t know what I have to do, it’s because I can’t seem to focus right now. Too much is going on in my life.

My hubby is finally getting his medication for the MS but he is experiencing some serious side effects from it. Today I went grocery shopping and just decided to take a long drive to clear my mind before returning home. It’s like we can never enjoy the things we used to, I sometimes look at my kids and I feel so sad because he is not even strong enough to play with them.

rn

I will soon be returning to work, in 4 weeks to be exact. I visited last week and boy were they surprised to see a thinner version of me. It felt good although I am struggling to loose the last 11 pounds. Hopefully this week will be a better week, hey i’ve still come a far way.

Hope your weekend was good and your past week was successful…

A Confrontation?

Hey buddies, I finally confronted my BF about some comments she made about my weight. I made mention of some of it in my profile. Anyways, I thought she was rude and insensitive and intentionally wanted to hurt me. She did the same thing when I purchased my home. The question is, do I still keep her around? She is definitely not a positive force in my life but we went to college together and have known each other for 15 years. I am even the godmother of her little girl. What would you do?

It’s My Birthday!

Today I celebrate another birthday. Today i’m another day older and wiser. I feel healthy and I thank God for life, a wonderful family and great friends.

Unfortunately, DH is too sick to celebrate but for me having him here is all that matters.

To all my buddies and fellow buddy slimmers have a wonderful day.
