I wonder if I can beat the Bengals in losses for the season??

Skinny Bitch 1
I wonder if I can beat the Bengals in losses - everyweek they are losing 1 game and are up to 8! I hope to surpass them when they get to the game against the Cheifs as 15-0, maybe by then I'll have lost 15 lbs. What a joke Bungals....anyway, on to more serious matters like my LOSS for the week. Not by much but it has got me over 3lbs mark. I am even more excited about this loss because the "reds" were in town this week. Holy cow, getting through a menstrual week with a loss is HUGE in my book. I wonder why during that week all we want is CHOCOLATE and we feel like we are just swelling up like a balloon - SICK!!

Oh well, still not journaling and I really need my brother-in-law CJ to kick me in the ass on this one, HELP BEAVIS!!

Until Next Week....

Starting Weight = 154.1
Total Pounds lost = 3.1
New Weight = 151.0

It is a new day....

Skinny Bitch 1~
Yea Yea, I weighed in this morning and there was a decrease on the scale....I am now at 151.6 which is now a total loss of 2.5 pounds. Okay, now that I type that out it certainly doesn't seem like much but it is a start and it is a success in my book. Soo.... I still don't have the discipline to track all that I put in my mouth, I am still doing the head math thing and although I had a loss today I still don't think this is the best solution. I still need to try try try to jot things down or else I'll never see the actual number on the scale that I really want to see!

Weigh In Day

Skinny Bitch 1 - Lack of Focus!

Weigh in is what i expected, not that I have esp or anything but I do have "EAT" that is for sure! I have a "LACK OF FOCUS" and it is hurting me at the scale and on the hips (I borrowed Lack of focus from my husband). As my dad always says, "A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips" and it is oh so true. Even one of my co-workers will randomly throw that one out at me. For example, yesterday there were cupcakes for a 50th birthday in the office and I asked about them (not that I was going to eat one, and I didn't) but the co-worker yelled across the office, "ummm... you don't need one remember what your dad always says." THANKS JIM!!! But that is the thing, I ran 3 times this week and I friggin watched my portions when I did eat. For instance, we were in Columbus for the weekend and I didn't eat my whole burger and instead of the fries I did order broccoli - whatever!! I really need to track and I know it, HELL I talk about it almost every week. GET THE FOCUS BACK and TRACK!!!! Keeping myself accountable for the pieces of food that go in my mouth. Okay - it is a new week and I'm not going to let the "LACK OF FOCUS" get to me!

quick blog - 2nd weigh in

Skinny Bitch 1

Okay, as I sit here and eat my weight control oatmeal I'm proud to say that I can log a loss today for my week. I am now 153 so that is a loss of 1.4 pounds! Pretty hard considering the challenges I have faced this week (WORK!!!!!!!!!) I'm hoping the half-ass journaling and the one day of running was a big part of that loss. I need to be a planner like Skinny Bitch 3, my life is just as hectic with work and after work happy hour and more work and just life! Hey Bitch numero 3, please fill the rest of us in on your awesome planning abilities!

One new thing I will do this week - I'm going to buy a dry erase board for my fridge to write myself notes and to log my weight so that everytime I want something I am reminded of my success.

Keep up the good work bitches!!!


Skinny Bitch 2

This week was a little harder for me..I'm right along with my fellow skinny bitches..work and school has been killing me lately (although I must add..I PASSED MY STNA NURSING CLASS) I am now a state certified Nursing Aide..YAHOO!!...

Week two was a no gain/no loss week for me..I am pleased to have kept off the 5 original pounds, but slightly disappointed I didn't have more to add to that..

However, I did want to take just a minute to thank the supporters we have..Thought you all would enjoy this story..

Last week, I came home from lunch with my momma..there I was checking my mail..just as I was doing my celebratory dance for receiving a 10 dollar certificate to dicks, my loving and supporting boyfriend came in..I had mentioned that I was going to use this certificate to buy the new brown north face jacket I had wanted.."You can't buy that, you haven't lost 20 pounds yet" was his response..Selective hearing at it's best..He never hears me tell him to be home by 9, or to do some laundry and clean the damn room..but damnit..he sure heard me tell him not to let me buy any new clothes until I lost 20 pounds..(gotta love him for it =] )After a long car ride of me trying to persuade him to let me buy this jacket, we came up with a solution together.I would wait until I lost 3 more pounds, and went on 5 more walks...

My goal for the week--buy that jacket--after losing 3 lbs and 5 walks..I'll keep ya updated with my progress..

Did she really say that????

Skinny bitch 3
It's been some time since I've been able to blog. With work and school, my life is extremely hectic. So instead of giving in to all of the excuses, I've decided to be proactive in my weight loss. I've decided that every Sunday evening I will make the dinners for the upcoming week. This way when it's 9 pm and I'm finally getting home from a long day of work and school, we'll be able to heat up dinner instead of calling Asian Wok for carry out.

After 2 weeks, I weighed in and have lost 4 lbs!!! I was on a high for about 1 minute...I ran into a friend that I have not seen in months and she asked if I was pregnant. Yes, PREGNANT!!!! After I tell her no, she then proceeds to tell me how my weight gain is mostly in my stomach. OMG!!! Shut up!!! So instead of feeling depressed about this horendous comment, I decided to use it as motivation. The next time I see her, she's going to know that I'm definitely not pregnant and will be looking great.

At work I've been taking 15 minute breaks to go walking, doing chair dips and wall sits. If smokers get 15 minute breaks to continue with their bad habit, I can take 15 minutes to better my health and body. I also took in my stability ball and have been sitting on it for about an hour a day. This has really helped my posture and my core.

Along with adding activities in my day, I've also starting logging in a food journal everything that goes into my mouth and the exercise I do everyday. This has definitely held me countable for the food I'm eating and calories that I'm burning. One more step towards victory!
