Month 4!

I am feeling so down right now. I didn't lose any weight this past month I actually gained weight! I'm now at 181.

HW: 193
CW: 181
GW: 135

Okay, so I guess I've hit a plateau and my eating habits aren't helping me loose any weight. I am going to be eating healthier this month. I feel really sad. I mean, I exercised and all, but I really let myself down with my eating habits in March. Anywho, I need to press forward. I guess from being 213 and pregnant I am now 181 and should be grateful. So total I've lost 32 pounds from having Eli in me.

Feeling a little better, just checked my BMI and now I am officially overweight and not obese! Whee...well, I'm still on the border of obese I'm at 29.2% But I'm not obese anymore and that makes me happy. Can't wait to work harder this month :)

My diet was suffering so I am now counting calories with myfitnesspal.com my username is sonyamaeservin. I also have been having really bad lower back pains so I'm doing 25 minutes of yoga each morning.

Month 3

Lost another 7 pounds this month. Weighing 179 from 186. I actually weighed myself at another time this month and weighed 183, but right after that I got food poisoning and everything in my system was shoved out. It was two gruesome days, but on the bright side I guess I'm cleaned out and probably back at 179 or less. Went on vacation for the first week of march and ate like a king the whole time, but I don't regret it, I had an awesome time. I still have a very hard time denying sweets, or even staying away from them. :/ I need to start keeping sweets around the house that way I can practice some self control.

Losing weight is HARD! I mean, I was exercising 5x's a week and then it started to snow and I have no motivation for ANYTHING. I am in a serious slump. I love looking at the snow, the clothes for cold weather...and the food. I made pumpkin bread three times this week. I mean seriously, what am I supposed to do with that huge can of pumpkin? Last time I opened one it went moldy and I was not going to let that happen again. But, hey, found my golden recipe on the third try.

 

Sometimes I don't feel like I am going anywhere with my weight. I look at the scale and it says so, but I look in the mirror and the mirror says, "No you haven't. You will never reach your goals. You eat too many sweets." And it's true, if I keep eating like I do I will never reach my goals. I read on tumblr that being fat is hard and losing weight is hard...chose your hard. So, I chose to lose weight. I can do this. Just have to make wiser choices than as of late.

 

On a plus note I fit in my goal jeans!!! Size 9/10 Aeropostale, well I should really say I can button them up hahaha I would never wear them in public...yet! :3 

Month 2! Progress update :)

Hey, hey, hey! It's Fat Albert lol. Sorry, I had to. Okies here is the good stuff!

Stats-
Height- 5' 6"
Weight- 186

I am now jogging three whole miles without stopping! Still going super duper slow though, but hey, I'm lapping those people on the couch. In other words, at least I'm doing something. Running makes me feel really good and I actually like it. I just wish I could run faster, I have the stamina, I just don't have the strength yet, I am still getting used to carrying this heavier me.

Piktchas!

Man, this losing five pounds a month is feeling kind of tedious! I just want it all to fall off lol I love my new life, going to the gym three times a week, but I wish my body would lose weight faster, I just have to be patient because I am doing this the healthy way and I am actually going to keep this weight off because this is my new lifestyle. Fitting into my pre-pregnancy jeans...well sorta, I still have fat buldgeys haha oh well.

Valentines!

Start of My Journey! Month 1

Stats-
Height- 5' 6"
Weight- 193

After just having my baby December 17th my body naturally shredded some pounds so I went from being 213 to 193 in just a little time. I am hoping to lose a lot more weight. Trying to take things easy is hard, but I have to do this. I go to the gym three times a week and am now able to do a slow jog of 2 miles and then I walk out one mile. I am also breastfeeding my little baby so I hear that aids weight loss, but mostly I am doing it for him. Eating healthy has been a struggle. My husband and I are low on money so we kind of do with what we have and honestly I feel like I don't have that much time because I am being a mamma. I am trying though and will continue to try to make healthier choices. We'll see where this journey takes me :)

Mission Plan

What I'm going to change to get where I want to be
1. Exercise for one hour six times a week. (consisting of mostly cardio and some strength)
2. Use the low calorie dinner plans from Emeals and eat healthy breakfast, lunch and two snacks.
3. Take care of myself mentally by focusing on the positive and being more optimistic about life.

My Story

I have never been skinny, but I have always been a healthy weight. I have done this by exercising, I have NEVER been a healthy eater. I was always healthy until I came to college and gained the freshman 15, which turned out to be the freshman 20 for me. (from 155 to 175) and then I got married, and no one tells you, but you gain a lot of weight when you get married also. I gained another ten pounds (from 175 to 185). Then as I was trying to lose weight to become a healthy weight for having a baby I found out I was pregnant! So then I gained twenty eight pounds being pregnant. (from 185 to 213) Whew, it has only been two years, but I have gained a whopping 55 pounds. -.- So I am hoping to lose all this weight and more by actually exercising again and doing some portion control and working on some major self control! I hope to go from being 213 to anywhere from 145-130. My body does not usually like to go below 140, so we'll see. the lowest weight I've been is 135 the summer of 2010, I worked really hard for that body with exercise (my diet could have still used some help).

Some things about me? Well, I am married, a mother of one beautiful baby boy, a college student, and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I believe in true love and know that I am truly in love with my husband. He is the best man in the world for me and I adore him.  I have always found reasons to smile and love life and myself even though I may not always love the way I look. I love decorating and doing holiday crafts. I love dressing up and feeling beautiful. I love to bake. Seriously, I love making tasty treats and giving them away to friends and eating them myself haha. I really like flowers too, peonies are my favorite. I hope one day to have a blooming garden of flowers and also a vegetable garden. I love fashion, but might not always be fashionable ahha. I like researching the kind of clothes I want to buy and finding the best deal. I love bargains, they make me smile. haha Anyway, enough about me. Ask me anything :)
