The Bright Side!!

So, on the bright side, everything is going down. Which is really good and I am really excited. However, they just aren't going down as quickly as I would like. But like I said, things are still going down. And it's only been a couple of weeks. So, I am not quite ready to give up on this yet!! And I have had an incredible support system with all my friends and husband. And since our gas was turned off before I started this blog, I am hoping now that we have had our gas turned back on it will be much easier to stick to a diet now that I can cook at home. But I must say with three kids it is so HARD to find the time to exercise. We garden and do yard work together but honestly, I haven't worked out once since I started. Which is horrible, I know, because that was one of my major goals and I have failed. But I just can't seem to find the time, it's always soccer or softball or doctor appointments, etc.... any suggestions from all you out there as to how you find the time to schedule in a workout.

Pride and Prejudice

So, this is a book I have been wanting to read for a while. It's been sitting on my shelf for over 10 years now. I figured that now was a good time to pick it up. I know most of you have probably read it but if you haven't (or even if you have and just want to read it again) feel free to pick it up and we can start a small book club. In two weeks I will start a post where we can discuss the book.

Honesty

So I have mixed emotions on this weeks wiegh-in. I am really excited to see my numbers are going down but if I am being honest; it's not because I stayed true to my diet and exercise plan. I did pretty good at the beginning of the week. However, as the days past I kept cheating. I did do really good with the whole no soda, just water thing but then we went out of town on Thursday and it all went down hill from there. Honestly I was expecting an increase on every number. However, I knew this process wasn't going to be easy. So, here's to a new week!!!

Weigh In!!!

Okay, so I know that none of you are going to laugh, point at me, or call me "fatty fatty two by four". And I know that these numbers may shock a few... everytime I go to the doctor a nurse or doctor makes a comment about how well I "hold my weight". A bit annoying but also a good thing... I think? And I know I could leave this next part out and just give you updates as I succeed. However, this blog is about being honest. So here it is...

Neck:13.75 in
Left Arm: 12.5 in
Right Arm: 13
Breast: 42 in
Under Breast: 37 in
Waist: 35 in

Left Thigh: 25 in
Right Thigh: 25.5 in
Left Calf: 15.5 in
Right Calft: 15.5 in
Left Ankle: 9.25 in
Right Ankle: 9.25 in

Weight: 191.4
Body Fat: 36.9%
Water: 46.1%
Bone: 6.8

So according to the chart, my weight should be somewhere between 110 and 150 lbs. And as of now I am in the red. But I am not going to let that discourage me... I am just going to have to work to get things back where they belong!!
