Forgot to check in

I totally forgot to add my Weekly weight loss post yesterday. sorry :)
I think it may be because I have not lost any weight. In fact, I've gained a couple pounds. I am still down at least 6 or 7 from my starting point, but not losing any more.
Let me list some of the reasons:
1. I have not stuck to my diet plan. at all.
2. I have not monitored my water. at all.
3. I have added bad carbs back into my shoveling food routine. bad.
4. Did I mention that I have not stuck to my plan?

I know diets only work if you actually do them. I do know this. So.. why can't my brain let me know that the skinny chick inside is dying to come out?
When I am sweating my ass off on the elliptical or treadmill, why can't my mind link the weight gain to eating crap?
What makes me choose the crap in the first place? I know better.

A couple good things this week:
I have worked out for at least an hour, almost every day. I have found, I actually enjoy it. I feel better. My mind is clear when I leave the rec center. My body is loose, which feels wonderful on my aching everything.
I decided I am starting over. Right now. Today.
Back on the wagon.
I am going to keep my workouts going. I know I can at least stick to that. I have added a new machine. Not sure what it's called, but it is kind of a mix between the stair stepper from hell, and an elliptical. It feels like I am getting a much better workout, and my sweatyness a few minutes into it, confirms this. *smile*
I can actually see some muscles under my flub. *yay*
I have lots of new and yummy recipes for South Beach diet thanks so much to Kalyn @ kalynskitchen. If you haven't been there. I suggest go. Now! She has the most wonderful information and recipes for losing weight. I am addicted to her site :)

So.. here's to a new week. A fresh start.
New, smaller, more immediate goals, one pound at a time.
Um.. Wasn't I just saying this???

I am inviting you to join me. Just email me :)

Week two is over

I finished my second week of South Beach diet. I have lost a total of 10 pounds. woot!
I have cheated a couple times, a few fries and a piece of birthday cake, but I am still doing pretty good.
I think I will stick with phase one for another week, just to see if it helps. It doesn't seem to be too hard to stick to, so I'm going for it!

Let's see how week three can go..I can feel the skinny chick inside fighting to come out.. Love it!

Anyone else having results?? Email me!!

Losing weight update

Today is the one week mark for my South Beach Diet. I am happy with the loss but not as happy as I want to be. In one week, the first week, I've lost a total of 6 pounds.
I know that is good but I was hoping for more.
I noticed I haven't been getting all my water in, just alot of diet pepsi, so this weeks plan:
Drink my water!! All of it!!
We'll see if that helps this week.

I am doing great so far sticking to the plan, we went to see Eclipse on Saturday and I didn't even have any popcorn! That was soooo hard, but I felt so proud of myself that I stood my ground against the evil stuff.

Off to fill up my water bottle and plan this weeks journey.
Anyone can email me or comment and we can have fun losing together!

Have a great day!

Fit Friday

It's time for Fit Friday!!!

So I have been on the South Beach diet since Tuesday and so far it has been pretty easy. The first week of any diet is good for me, it's what happens after that "honeymoon" week is what kills me.
This time, I am determined to stick with it. I have seen such great results so far (I am down two more pounds today) that I am motivated!

I went to a Body tone class at the rec center last night. It was easy enough I wasn't overwhelmed, and hard enough I knew I was getting a good workout. I hope to keep going, and add a Zumba class. One of the other first-timers I talked to said it is a blast.

I have been getting a lot of great information from http://kalynskitchen.blogspot.com/ she has tons of recipes and great stuff.. Go check her out! I am a fan for sure :)

Anyone else having luck with dieting this week? Let me know.. we can all lose together!!



On a side note, I finished BuNoWriMo for June with 17,147 words. Not the 50,000 I wanted, but life happens. I am happy with what I have, done lots of research and now can move forward to hopefully have a first draft done by the end of July. *excited giggles*

Happy Friday!

Just wanted to share

Since Tuesday morning I have lost four pounds!

Yay!

That's all..
Carry on :)

Losin weight

I have tried so many diets that I can't even remember most of them.. I have tried everything under the sun and still...nothing..
I'm starting to think my body hates me :)
But I've decided to try one more..just for the hell of it
I'm going to try South beach starting tomorrow. I have to take today to get all my info and menus and food.
But I am going to do it, full force this time. No excuses!
I am going to drink my 100 ounces of water and hit the gym hard core..

I am tired of being fat.
I am tired of being tired.
I am tired of wearing ugly clothes!

So...
Every Monday will be the updates on my journey..
