WOMAN, wife, strong, mother, happy, friendly, capible, committed, confident, sensitive, and dog gone it, people like me! Now if I could just be consistant with losing weight!!

I'm back

I have been meaning to update sooner that this, but either way I am back. I have had the body bugg now for a couple of weeks, and am fascinated with the calorie burn!! I should be tracking my food better, and that is probably my biggest fault in this journey, guess I'm not too lazy to eat, just too lazy not to write it down, and therefore not having the success that comes with that. hmmpff, I'm frustrating! But it's a new week, starting a new MONDAY!! YAY!! So here's to a freash start, i'm sick of maintaing, and ready to lose!
Thanks for tuning in

My progress so far.

I am not starting this blog at the beginning of the year, because it's my resolution to lose weight, I'm already in the middle of my journey. I have been through so much, so far in this journey, and my goal with this blog is to be as honest as possible and to track my progress until goal. So to start, I'll recap my journey in the year 2011.

2011! By Jan. I had put on the normal holiday weight, of about 10lbs, and I just had so many bad habits the pounds kept creeping up until I reached the heaviest I had ever been outside of pregnancy. I got sick of it, and decided HCG was the next step for me. I did it strictly as can be for 21days (3weeks), figuring I can do anything for three weeks, I did, but it was a miserable 3 weeks for me, Gregg and the kids. Because of the extremes on this diet, Gregg NEVER wants me to do it again,ha ha, even tho I tried 2-3 more times, it was increasingly harder, and I would abandon ship after 1-2 weeks. I lost 20lbs though and it was a great jumping off point for me.

Summer came and went, I did gain a little. Sick of that pattern, at the end of Sept. I joined Weight Watchers, thanks to some encouraging words form a friends blog, Ashley Gosselin. As I went about my business doing that, I met a new friend in my ward named Raegan Wilson, who had been on this journey too, but with WAY MORE SUCCESS!! She and I are great friends, and she inspires me to walk in her foot steps. She is down 74lbs since Jan 2011. I have had about -16lbs of success since then, and made it through the holidays without a gain, so I feel like quite a winner. The over all weight loss in 2011 was 30lbs!! Woo Hoo for me :-)

I am starting the new year with this blog, and with hopes of the ultimate success of goal weight. I have "big" plans come August so I have til then to loose as much as possible and be as healthy as can be. I will chart my weekly progress here, so if at all interested tune in. I will chart my lb loss, my weekly exercise, and my thoughts and feelings. Thanks for all those interested enough in this journey of my to tune in.
