All the hard work paid off!

I worked really hard this week. I went to the gym every day, on Sunday it is closed so Brandy and I went to her clubhouse gym. I can officially say that I'm addicted to the gym!!! I'm glad that I got a trainer, because I know I would have gave up along time ago. He helps to keep me motivated.

We went out to eat on Saturday at Texas Roadhouse. I usually get the Country Fried Chicken, but I knew if I got it afterwards I would feel really guilty. So I got the rotisserie chicken. I'm also doing better at eating slower so I know when I am full so I don't over eat.



So on with the weight loss................... I lost 6.2lbs this week:)


My totals 13.7lbs this month
29.4lbs with trainer
47.4lbs since heaviest

My Knee at the gym

I had an appointment today at the gym. We did back and bi. Jason asked if I felt I could do any abs. I told him maybe leg raises and sit ups on the ball. He had me do leg raises with a ball held between my legs and sit ups on the ball. After we were done I wanted to do some cardio, I knew I couldn't do bicycle I would bend my knee to much. So I walked/ jogged on the treadmill. I felt just fine I think the doctor was just trying to scare me.

The camping after math

So Like I said we went camping for five days. On Monday morning I woke up at 7:30am, I woke Brandy and April up. We went walking/jogging down to the lake, which is about 2 miles. We came back and did a some weight's. We felt really good Brandy had me try some fruit, because I'm so picky. I tried a plum, was able to swallow it down but really didn't like it. Then I tried a banana, I gagged on it and had to spit it out. I'm going to try freezing fruit it might give it a different texture?

In the afternoon we went down to the lake we took the kids out tubing, came back and took a little break. We were getting ready to take the kids skiing. I was climbing on the front of the boat to get in and I slipped and fell on my knee and landed on the gas cap. I sat there for a second thinking that kinda hurt. I turned over a looked, I had a hole in my knee. I covered it with a towel because I couldn't look at it. Richard and April came over and looked, and said " ya your going to need stitches." It went so deep there was fat tissue on the boat.

To make a long story short we had to drive about 45 miles into Roosevelt and get stitches. The doctor told me no soaking in water or no lower body exercise for 2 weeks.

Well there went my morning walking. I had to just watch what I ate.

We got home last night. When I woke up this morning I was scared to get on the scale. After all that, I still lost 1 lb.

Totals: 23.7 with trainer, 41.7 heaviest.

4lbs!!!

Last night at the gym I was talking to Jason, I am getting a little discouraged because I fell I am working really hard and I should be losing more weight. He told me I am going to hit a mental plateau before I hit a physical one.

This morning I got on the scale not expecting much. I lost 4lbs. I'm really happy about that.

I'm a little scared for next week we are going camping for 5 days, and camping food isn't the healthiest. I plan on getting up every morning and going walking. Jason said he hates hearing people are going on vacation. I told him I was scared, he told me not to think that I'm going to gain weight and to think positive. SO I'M THINKING POSITIVE!!!!

Friday

This week I lost 1 lb. A little disappointed but it's better than nothing.

But on the bright side: My sister is getting married and I bought my bridesmaid dress four sizes smaller. About a month ago I tried it on and I couldn't get it to zip up I had about 2 inches to go. The wedding is four weeks away and I was getting a little scared. Well last night I tried it on again and it zipped up!!! I couldn't breath, but it zipped up!! By the time of the wedding it should fit well.

Friday weigh in!!!!

It's Friday time for my weigh in...
I got on the scale today and I lost 2lbs. I was hoping for more, but I need to be happy with the 2lbs it's better than nothing. I could be doing better, I know it's my nutrition I am a very picky eater. My biggest problem is eating every 3 hours it is so hard! I always forget to eat I need to set an alarm, or do something. any suggestions?

My totals are: 17.7lbs since getting a trainer & 35.7lbs from heaviest weight
