Getting Back at it

Well it's been a little while since I last posted but to tell you the truth not much has been going on with me.  I have been back to work now just a little over a month and so far so good. The good is I have really only been eating what I bring I have not gone out to buy much in the way of bad food and the only time I got food out was Greek and it was just chicken on the salad I told them I didn't want the rice or the potato and they just gave me more salad so that was really not bad at all other than what ever they put on the chicken before cooking it and I had no dressing on my salad. I have been getting a lot more urges to eat snack foods but I have been able to stay away for the most parts, I have bought a few things from my Dr.'s office to get me through the day if I have a bad craving but it's been ok, One bad thing is I have been drinking more coffee about 4-5 a day and I was drinking only 1-3 before at home now I am not really too sure if that is what has been making me retain water or what but since my last weigh in I have lost weight- (FAT) but I also gained or (RETAINED WATER) so when you look at my actual weight number I am breaking even now I am not going to say that I have been 100% perfect because I have been having some salty food and I know that will make me retain water as well but I am just hoping that I can get over this break because I have been bouncing around 192 -194 for the past few weigh in's and I only weigh in every other week so for a month I really have not moved much in terms of weight loss so I am feeling a bit stuck.

I have just started back a running this past week because I have found that with being back at work by the time I come home I am not wanting to go to the gym after I cook dinner and get the kiddies ready with homework and bath's so I started to run I get everyone all ready and then my husband just has to listen out for the baby while I go for my run, so far so good I ran for about 22 minutes and when I tracked it on map my run it said I did about 2.2k I'm not a runner by any means so I don't know if that’s good or bad, all I know is that I want to try to get further and further every time I go out and if not further maybe make it home sooner then I will change up my route when I get better LOL.

Like I said in my last post since I am playing in Mas this year I am hoping to lose at least 20lbs before then but I only have 6 weeks left  I am not too sure about that any more but I at least want to be out of the 190's I'll keep that as my goal for now.

Summer Here I come

Well it's been two weeks since I have been back in my office and back hard at work well as hard as my job is going to get LOL but any way that hard work I do at work was really not my issue it was going to be with how I controlled my snacking and bad habits that can creep up when you do nothing but is all day at a desk. Well it turns out that it was not all that bad I did have a few slip ups here and there but when it came down to it I went for my weigh in this weekend and I was down 5lbs and it was all fat and man I was so happy since two weeks ago I was up 5lbs but it was a mix of fat and water so now for the next two weeks I have to be on plan 100%  and get my water back down to where it should be as well as lose a few extra pounds. My goal for summer is to lose another 20lbs at least but I say summer but my date that is important to me is August 4th so I really only have 5 more weigh in's left I am not too sure if that is even going to be really possible,. to tell you the truth I know it is really 100% possible it only works out to be a loss of 4lbs per weigh in but its going to be a matter of mind over matter type thing and just really pushing my self as hard as i can both in the gym as well as in my plan I can not afford to mess up in the next few weeks.

For those of you who don't know what August 4th is well it's Caribana 2012 in Toronto and this year with all my success in my weight loss I am going to play in the Mas and its going to be greaat I'm going to add a little picture in this blog if I can and just to let you know its not the one I'll be in my will look like a full swim suit not two piece but will still have all the great extras and I can't wait and thus I need to get in tip top shape.

Thanks for reading.

Last weigh in for March 2012

Ok so this weeks weigh in came and went and ......................... : ( I didn't make my goal that I was so 100% sure I was going to make. However Dr. Poon has told me that I did lose fat but gained a lot of water. So to be honest I did have a few drinks on the weekend as it was my friend's birthday but at this time I have TOM over to visit and that can also play a role in the water gain as well. As Dr. Poon said no damage done lol, so now I have to work extra hard this next two weeks to burn off all the extra water i gained and I was told just to drink a lot more so I will try that and hope it works. Having this stupid 2 lbs hanging over my head is killing me I just want to see 199.9999999 so bad LOL.
Well not much more to say so I guess this is going to be a shore blog.
Thanks for reading :) XOXO

Almost there

Well yesterday was weigh in day and................ I didn't make the 7lb goal :( but not all bad I did lose 4.5lbs and that was a mix of Fat and Water so I am still on track and very happy and that leaves me with even more excitement for my next weigh in because that means that I am going to 100% be under 200 and finally have reach that wondrous Onderland as I only have 2.1lbs left to get there. I am so nervous more than anything now since it is such a big milestone I am worried I will mess it up or something like I have always done in the past either by falling off track completely or going a day long bender and crash and burn. But what I am hoping is because I already know all of this I am already know how bad my destructive past was that I will be able to move on past this and run right on through.

On another note my sister has offically joined me on the same program I am on and yesterday was her first offical weigh in she is very happy and all exceited about this new journey and as soon as I get her to give me her blogger address I will post it here for others to follow as well. :)

Also after our weigh in Dr. Poon told us about this metabolic testing thing that we could do at the office he was offering it to my sister at first but then I told him that I had never done it either so he set us both up to do it at the same time. This testing was supposed to tell us if we had a slow normal or fast metabolism we would have to sit with a mask on our face for 10min and just breath normally so we did this after making a joke saying we already know were fat so does that not mean our metabolism would already be slow? The lady that was performing the test told us that it's not the case she said most people land in the normal range and other are slow she said it is very rare that they get people with fast. Anyway we took he test and yep we both have are you ready for this..... fast metabolisms what??????? How is this possible? I always told my husband that mine was slow that is why I could never lose weight and after talking with the lady she in fact told us that our weigh gain is mostly all from pregnancy's and since we never worked at trying I mean really trying to lose the weight before that is why we kept all the weight on and stayed fat lol so as she put it this is all good news as long as we stick to the diet and do slight exercise we should have no issues losing weight LOL ya will see about that. Oh wait it's already working LOL
One more thing that text told me was that I should with exercise I should be able to reach my final goal in 17 weeks wow I am so happy 17 weeks will bring me to July summer baby and man I can't wait to have a hot bod for summer LOL ROTFL.
