Getting on track
It’s March & spring is here so I need to really haul ass & lose this weight. The day AFTER I gave birth to Fiona I weighed 210. Then about 3 weeks later I started dieting. I haven’t been strict about it & gave it very minimal effort but I have lost. At the moment I’m 166.2 so since August 2009 I’ve lost a total of 43.8 lbs. That’s pretty good but very slow. I’d like to be at least 145 and being 5’8″ that’s a good weight for me. My pre-pregnancy weight was somewhere between 140 & 145 (that was after losing 30lbs for my wedding which was the month before) so once I get to 145 I’ll see how I feel. I’m now going to record my Weight Watcher points & use my iWatchr iPhone app. (if you do the Weight Watchers program then it’s the perfect app. No monthly fees like the actual Weight Watchers app requires). The past 7 months I haven’t logged or counted points, I just ate the meals & snacks I used to eat when I was counting points. Yesterday I wrote my meals down… I thought I was doing great but I had actually taken from my extra weekly points.
I know the Weight Watcher program works great for me so I need to really do the program & not half ass like I have been. I need to lose 2 lbs a week to get to my goal by June 1st.
I set up some mini goals and rewards when I reach them….
1.) The 1st reward is adding text messaging plan to my cell phone. At&t has a 200 text for $5 a month. I removed that plan when free text messaging apps became available in the app store. I’ve been using the apps for over a year now but it’s been a pain in the butt. So when I get to 160 I’ll add it to my plan.
2.) My next goal is when I get to 153 I’ll get the InStyler hot iron. The infomercials look great & having curly hair but straighten it all the time this iron looks perfect for me.
3.) When i get to my ultimate goal of 145 I’ll have my teeth bleached. Before having Fiona I smoked for 17 years so my teeth are effed up! When I take pictures I always keep my mouth closed. I never got them done before because there was no point, they’d get yellow again. I’ve done the home kits & they’ve been pretty good but I want them done good!
As for exercise I have Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred. I started it & did it every day for a week until Aunt Flo arrived. Well Aunt Flo has been gone for a week & I haven’t started back. I have been walking a lot this past week because the weather has been 70*.
I WILL lose this weight!!!! I will be a hot momma!!
