Inches update

38.25 inches smaller!!!
Since starting callanetics I've lost another inch off my waist. 3/4 inch off my right thigh. 1/2 inch off my left thigh. 1/4 inch off my hips.

15 week weigh in

I'm down a total of 34.3 lbs.

I lost 1.1 lbs this week.

Callanetics

I've been very consistent with working out. I do my sit-up, squat, and push up app along with running a mile. I've enjoyed it so much. It's amazing as I've had a complete attitude switch regarding exercise. I'm so excited about this.

Yesterday and today I did Callanetics. I LOVE IT!!!!!!! I'm way sore afterwards. If you google it there are so many amazing results with it. I've been doing 300-400 sit-ups lately and I get sort of sore after. Just 2 days of Callanetics my stomach is on fire and it's a great feeling. I'm so excited to make it a consistent thing and shrink some more. We will see next Friday if I have a increased amount of inches lost because of it.

Inches update

36 inches.

I'm out of 2 more pairs of pants.
I think my weight is going to slow down first of all I'm exercising more and I don't have as much to lose.

14 week weigh in

33.3 lbs. just 6.7 lbs until my next 10 lbs goal. That's 3 lbs this week.

Inches Update

32.50.
I finally bought another tape measure.

Updated progress pictures.

32.3 lbs make a big difference

12.3 lbs difference between pic 2 and pic 3. I added exercise and its made a huge impact.

Break through

Yesssssssss!!!! I've made a major break through regarding exercise. I've never really enjoyed it. It was more of a optional evil sort of thing. But today my arms, legs, and stomach ache, and I really like it. I like that I'm getting stronger and firming up. I am getting healthy and I love it. This morning I got this huge desire to do something I never thought I would ever accomplish...... Ever. I want to run a marathon. Of course work myself up to it. I really believe I can and will achieve it. Liking exercise is a HUGE deal for me. The program I'm working through there is a week where you listen to hypnotherapy for exercise. I listened to it longer than a week and my like of exercise was sort of there. It wasn't to the point where I really enjoyed it or was very consistent. Jonathan made a new recording on Saturday and I can't believe how effective it's been. It's pretty amazing!!!

Jonathan is putting together a weightloss program and its getting closer to being done. It will be very affordable to those who want to give it a shot. I'm so glad I did.

13 week slim down

Ok I said I wanted to limit my weigh ins and only update when I hit another 10 lb loss. I was decided on that because I felt not having a big number on the scale was a failure. I don't feel that way anymore. I have a story to tell and let's see how it's told with out gaps. Ok so last week I got to my 30 lb goal. This week I lost .3 lbs. it's not much but it's something. The major thing is my clothes are getting looser. I'm not focused on what I couldn't do. I'm celebrating every victory. I'm not just becoming a smaller me. I'm becoming a better me.

WOW what a difference!!!

Jonathan's 20lb goal

He did it. Jonathan lost 20.2 lbs in 51 days. Great job!

Goals!!!

I've decided to set little goals for myself. Every 10 lbs is going to be celebrated.

So today I celebrate I hit 30 lbs lost. Yay!!!!!

I have found something very interesting. After I lost weight when Emma was a baby I was in 8-6 very few 6's pants. I could start to squeeze into 8's when I was about 20lbs lighter than I am now. I have one pair of 8's that fit perfectly right now. The rest will fit great in 10 lbs from now. Even the pants i had 9 years ago. My 10's are getting lose and I'm in the in between stage. Why is it that I'm "smaller" but I weigh more. Maybe I have more muscle. Trust me I'm not complaining.

I'm taking more pictures at 40 lbs lost.

It's More Than Losing Weight.

Going into this I knew my main goal. Take off the weight and hopefully keep it off. What I didn't know is that I was going to heal from the inside out.

I started losing weight right after Miriam turned 9 months old. I first did low carb then I got tired of that and regained all but 20 that I lost. Then I tired counting calories, HCG, counting calories again, and low carb again. Just to lose 15 more feel frustrated quit and regain it back. I was still down at least 20. So what was the problem??? Why couldn't I stick to anything. Why????? I now know what the problem is almost 3 years later. It's not like I lacked will power or determination I believed I was broken. My body was failing on me over and over. I lacked self confidence. I didn't trust myself to truly succeed. What's different now??? All those things I lacked I don't anymore. I've been given tools to change my beliefs. I'm not a broken body that fails. I have the confidence that will help me reach my goals. It hasn't just effected me in relation to weight loss. It's helping me be more "in tune" to many things. I'm able to control my emotions way better than I have ever been able to. I have so much more knowledge I can pass down to my kids. I really don't think I would be where I am emotionally, mentally, or physically without doing the hypnosis. I'm able to pull myself away from the "world" and work on me. I can honestly say this has changed my life and so many parts of me have been healed. I would do it a million times over.

Now I know the weight WILL stay off not HOPEFULLY stay off.

Missing measuring tape

That's why I haven't measured just yet. Miriam took it. It's pink and looks like a yoyo. As soon as I find it I'm taking my measurements.
