The competition is over now and I won big. I won a jump start to a healthier lifestyle. I learned to believe in me and take care of me. In the last three months I have lost a total of 33 pounds. I didnt reach my target goal but I am very happy with what I have accomplished. I will continue with the program to reach my target weight. I am happy were I am now but it would be nice to be a couple more dress sizes smaller. If you know someone that wants to lose weight, be supportive and help them a long the way. It is a hard struggle but nothing in life worth having comes easy.

I did it finally! It was a lil rough for a while, touch and go, I knew which way was up but everyone else seem to not know. In the end it all worked its way out, the fat that is....lol

I was finally able to write my chicken scratches across the 30 pound board today! That was one of my short term personal goals while in the competition. Naturally the long term goal is to lose all of the predetermined weight i had decided on.

It will happen, not in the next few days but it will. I am determined. I am the only one standing in my way and pretty soon I will be so skinny that I cant see me, Hahahaha ( It was suppose to be funny so laugh it up)

I know what I want and I know how to get there. I want to be healthy and happy in my body. And I am getting there. I orginally thought that the pounds would come off easily. But I was wrong. I have hit so many plateaus. Lose big this weigh in then gain a lil back that weigh in. It can be discouraging. But I am fighting through it all. Now I have reach a point in my personal weight loss goals that my mind doesnt want to let go of the fat.

I say that because it has become a constant struggle. Everywhere I turn, there is food that I should not eat right now. Its not that cant have it, its more that it is not beneficial to my overall goal; a healthy BMI.

I am doing my best to stay strong and stick to the meal plan. I am not much of a cook so after two months it is starting to get a lil boring. But boring is good because it is simple. And I love simple. So I am still managing very well.

The compliments are still rolling in. More people at work are noticing the changes of my ever increasing smaller body. Most of my clothes fit like they should. Some are too big now but thats okay because I dont like form fitting clothes.

I dont think that I will drop 25 pounds in the next two weeks but I am proud of what I have accomplished so far. I couldnt have done it with out the help of all the folks at MRC, Athletic Club and FortSmithMoms.com.  I am headed in the right direction.  My inside is begining to match my outside very well.

I have been in a funk for about 10 days. Its the weather, its the stress, its the I just dont feel like it. But I have bounced back from it all the time and this time is no different. I will over come. I know that making good food choices is what is best for me. But my mind still wants to eat the simple stuff. I dont really crave it I just want to eat it. Its there its simple quick and easy. So heres my solution. I have begun to pre measure and assemble my meals. Im starting simple with my lunches. Lunch time is when I am away from home the most. So it is a very big pitfall for me if a let it be. Ive pre cooked, packaged and measured all my meats and veggies. Now its just like have a meal at home. I just grab the packs that i need and  go. Now when I sit down for lunch there is no more extra thinking. Just heat the meat add to veggies and eat. How hard could that be.

At the gym I have been going to the fitness classes. The classes are really fun and the instructor is so tiny, helpful and always upbeat. I also like the classes because there are other people there doing the same thing and for the same reason.

I love exercising, I love that people are noticing that Im smaller. Thats my continued motivation. I have about 15 more pounds to my healthy BMI. I looked at myself in the mirror the other day and was wondering where the 15 pounds was going to come off at. I dont see myself as Fat anymore. BUt  it must be on me some where because it is coming off.

Thank you All for your continued support

I did it! Today I signed the TWENTY pound board.

This means that I am on my way to being a healthier me. I ws nervous last night because I felt like I was retaining water. I just felt big and fat again.

But I was wrong. I did lose. And my sprits are up again. I am gonna try to change up my routine a lil bit to beat this plateau thingie.

I am gonna win the battle of the bulge. Then I am gonna tone up wear something two sizes too little.... lol. no Im not.
