Weigh in Wednesday 8/26

Today is Wednesday!  I missed last week. I was sooo busy with getting everything on track for another school year for both me as a teacher and my students and my own kiddos I was completely overwhelmed.  As a result I gained a few pounds back but I am happy to report this weeks stats are down.

Last weigh in- 156.6
Today's weigh in- 155.0
loss: -1.6 pounds
Total loss: 3.8 pounds

I will take that loss even though it is not where I wanted to be by now.  I was not planning on me having no will power at all when starting back to work.  However, I am back on my game and hope to continue to be on my game til next week when I report back.

I hope all of you are doing well.  See you next week!

Weigh-in Wednesday 8/12/15

Today is Wednesday so I am linking up with Winter and Cassi for Weigh-In Wednesday.  Today was my first day back to work for this school year. (For those of you who have not read my blog before, I am a teacher.)  Anyway,  I worked hard in my classroom all day getting ready for my students to come back. By the time I left there it was time to go get my son from practice so I did not get a workout in today.  But I did weight in this morning......

Last Week's Weight: 158.8
Current Weight: 156.8
Total Loss: 2lbs

Tomorrow is Open House at work so I will be there all day until 7:00.  It is doubtful that I get a workout in but I am going to try.  If not, then I will just make sure I eat good and make up for it this weekend.

Day 1 and part of day 2

Yesterday was Day 1 and I think I did okay.  I am always tempted to weigh every day which can be discouraging at times.  I did weigh this morning and no change in weight.  I am going to try my best to stay off of that darn scale and go by how I feel and how my clothes fit.  I don't feel as bloated today. Don't get me wrong, I know change will not happen literally over night, but I just like to see any decrease on the scale.  Crazy right?  I am fully aware that I did not put this weight on over night and I will not take it off over night.  I lost 25 pounds before I had my daughter 7 1/2 years ago and it took me about 6 months using Weight Watchers and spin classes.  I cannot bring myself to go back to spin classes at the gym but I a working out at home.

Day 1: Jillian Michael's Cardio Kickbox Fast Fix (Upper Body):  Ummm....well that was no joke!  I thought 20 minutes wouldn't be that bad but it is definitely a good workout.  Especially for someone who hasn't been working out regularly.

Day 2: Jillian Michael's Cardio Kickbox Fast Fix (Lower Body):  Had a hard time keeping up with the moves but I did it and was sweating pretty good when I finished.  So that is two days down!  Yay me!

I plan to throw in several different workouts of Jillian's throughout my diet plan.  I tend to get bored easily so mixing them up helps me.  I had pretty good success with her Body Revolution two years ago and may go back to that once I feel more confident.  Right now I just want to get moving and build up my endurance level.

I will report back tomorrow for weigh-in Wednesday.  See ya then!

Hashimotos vs ME Round 1,000 something!

Hey Everyone I am back yet again!

As you may know if you have read my blog before, I struggle with my thyroid disease called Hashimotos.  The struggle is real, but I am also determined not to let it win!  Here lately my weight has just been a roller coaster.  I go up 6 pounds and then down 6 pounds. Constantly getting stuck in my rut yet again and again.  I am addicted to food and I am a creature of habit.  I love to eat out on the weekends with my family and I love to eat the same things even though I know that they will keep me fat and make me feel bad, especially GLUTEN!  I am so addicted to gluten.  I need like a Gluten Anonymous to help me. ha ha.

I keep telling myself starting Monday or starting this day or that day or when this or that happens I will start my diet and exercising again.  But truth is I may start but quickly fizzle out and give in to my fatigue.  So starting tomorrow I am going to start taking my supplements again like I am suppose to and start watching my gluten intake and I am going to start exercising.  I am going to use this blog as a platform of accountability. (Even though I have very few followers and maybe no one will even read this.)  I have to do something to hold myself accountable.  Writing here is therapeutic for me and helps me sort out my thoughts of self criticism and try to find some positive thoughts about my body and steps I am taking to make it healthier.



Starting Weight 158.8. I also plan to weigh-in on Wednesdays with Winter and Cassi. Thanks for letting me link up ladies.

Tomorrow starts Day 1 so see you then.
