Are you cold??

So I didn't weigh in last week...if I had I would have let you know how it went. My trainer asked me not to weigh in. I guess I'm supposed to do the big weigh in tomorrow and then I'm going to the endocrinologist in the afternoon to see about my thyroid and my metabolism. My trainer actually gave me a pretty good compliment, he said something like, you've done a lot of good work so far so we'll see what happens after you see the doctor. Which is great because he has been saying that I don't have much to show for all the work I've been putting in. I'm hoping that when I go tomorrow I will be put on thyroid stabilizing pills, my friends hubby was put on them and I guess he just started dropping weight and didn't even have the appetite that he used to have, she calls them his skinny pills, so I'm hoping I get skinny pills.

And also, I'm cold alot, I NEED to snuggle up to my warm hubby any chance I get, my fingers and toes burn because they are so cold at night, I like to push them under my hubby's bottom when we are sitting on the couch at night. I wait until he gets comfy and then I sit sideways on the couch and jam my freezing tootsies under him and its so warm and toasty. So...I'm hoping the skinny pills will perk up my metabolism and light my furnace and warm up my tootsies!!!

Under 230???

Ok....So I was 234 for the 6 month weigh in, then I tried really hard the next week and was 231 that Tuesday. Then I said since I lost 3 pounds the previous week, I was going to do that again. Then I had to take Thursday off work, so I missed a workout that day, then I had a little get-together at my house on Saturday night and made a ton of snacks and had a lot to drink, so that day was shot! And we were babysitting my 4 month old nephew (don't worry, he wasn't at the party, my kids were at my moms and the nephew was at his house with my hubby) so that was alot of extra work, set up for a party, clean up from the party, ohhh and have an extra kid to boot! So Monday morning I was in no shape to go work out, I was tres tried, so I went back to bed and completely skipped my workout. So I was supposed to be trying to hit 228 on Tuesday, and I only hit 229. But that was still pretty good considering 2 missed workouts and all that bad bad, but ohh so good, party snacks! So I was on cloud 9 for a few days, I had lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks and was finally under 230 again. When I first got under 250 I never looked back, then the same thing with 240 (it just took longer to get there. But now this is the second time I've gotten under 230, and I really really really want to keep on the downward trend. But I admit that I have NOT been watching what I've been eating this week, I haven't been being horrid, just not nearly as good as I should be. So....I'm going to weigh in tomorrow morning, I was shooting for 226, but we'll see.......Pray with me now.....God give me the will power to resist the sweets I want so bad, the strength to choke down another hard boiled egg and more salad, and the determination to stay focused on my goals! I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow!

Trudging on.

So....if you were wondering how the great 6 month weigh in went.....then you didn't notice that I havn't posted in over a week! It went pooy! Is that a word? I weighed in at 234! Not horrible, i'm down a grand total of 22 pounds. I should be happy, i lost the weight from the lateast baby and am back at the weight that I was when I was dating my hubby. But if you do the math, then I averaged loosing just under a pound a week for the last 6 months. Again, not horrible. But for the ammount of work and effort I have been putting in at the gym I would think I should have done better. And I do have that appointment with the engocronologist coming up in a few weeks, so maybe i'll find out that I can blame this all on my thyroid. But I don't want to be one of those people, "I can't help that I'm fat, I have a gland problem!" I'm fat because I like to eat Taco Bell! And Pizza! And whatever we have for dinner; chicken, meatloaf, pork chop....I like to make a sandwich out of it. You know, take my meat, that was all happy by it's self on the plate, and slap it between some bread with a slice of cheese! That is sooooo good, and yet sooooo bad for me. I don't need those extra calories, I just want them, and I have crummy will power. So I just have to stick with it! I'm telling myself that once I get under 220 (the weight I killed myself dieting down to for my wedding 7 years ago) then I can go buy ew clothes. The clothes that I have now have been getting baggy, which is a good thing, but I don't want to get new ones that fit now and then are baggy in a month or two....so it's spring, or almost spring, and I think I can hit 220 by the end of this month, and then get new clothes for April! So that is the plan. I was 234 last Tuesday, and then I did really good all week and was 231 this Tuesday. So that's 3 weeks to loose 11 pounds, hmmm not so easy, but a goal to strive for, and we'll see how close I get!

Ohh...and in case you were wondering....I did NOT eat the pazki! I looked at it all day, and then threw it away at 5:00. I really need to pat myself on the back for these small victories!
