Day 167 -

Today was supposed to be my 11th weigh in, but circumstances (work and not losing any weight) have left me with no choice but to move the weigh in to next week.  Although my Dr. has informed me that I may now come every three weeks, I really wanted to stick to the 2 week weigh in as I fell it will keep me motivated the most.  In weight myself at home, it does not appear that I have lost any additional weight or gained any weight.  I have not been drinking as much water, therefore concluding how essential it is to my weight loss.  Good ol' H2O.... I purchased a 1 liter plastic bottle to use therefore ensuring that I drink plenty of water, which was working, until I left it at a friends house and haven't used it therefore drinking much less water!!!  Note to self, purchase another bottle just in case!!  I look forward to my weigh in next week and will post via FB as soon as I find out the results,

5 months - Weigh In # 10

Today is a bittersweet day for me.  My weigh in today was quite successful... I lost 5 pounds.  Pretty amazing considering my diet hasn't been the greatest.  I think what may have helped a lot for this weigh in was my water consumption.  I made sure to drink a lot of water each day, this I believe is what saved me for this weigh in.  So, my total loss is 60 pounds!! I can't believe I am writing that: 60 pounds gone!!  Now the trick is to keep going and not falter.  Even though this has been the longest that I have stuck to something, weight loss related, I know myself and know that I have potential to get off track.  However, with this blog and the family and friends that continually understand my struggles, it will be hard to fall off track. 

Today, we also lost a dear family member.  He was a father, grandfather, husband and uncle and loved by many.  Tio Victor, you will be missed.  May you rest in peace and be free of suffering.  <3

Day 146 - October 6th

This month has shown little in terms of weight loss for me.... I know that I only have myself to blame for not making the best choices when it comes to eating.  In being forced to write down everything that I ate this past week, I have a pretty good idea where I am in need of adjustment.  Not enough greens and way to much cheese!  For those that know me well, they know that I could live off cheese.  I love it, and when I first started this journey I stayed completely away from it.  Over the past month, I have introduced it liberally back into my diet and although my love for cheese is intense, my goal and my journey outranks it, so cheese will become obsolete in my diet again :( Well, perhaps not obsolete, but definitely there will be less of it!  Almost reaching day 150 feels amazing and with Thanksgiving coming up I am excited to spend time with family and friends who care!
