Update

I realized it has been a long time since I have given an update. Of course I will update soon with my new measurements and pics but I should check in more often than once a month. I have been doing well. I started Level 3 of Jillian's 30 Day Shred this week after completing 10 days of level 1 and 10 days of level 2. I really like it! Today I am hurting but that is a good thing. It means I am working hard and working out muscles I haven't been working before, which is a good thing. I am still doing the elliptical. Not as often as before though. Just if I have the time/energy to get on after my Jillian workout.

I am noticing a lot of changes. I really think I will have quite a change in inches this month. I can't wait to see the progress photos. LOL! I am down to 231 in weight. So I am still losing at a healthy level. I have to say though it can be tough to watch the Biggest Loser and see them pull the BIG numbers and I am just plodding along. But then I have to remind myself that they are working out for 4 hours a day!!

I am still doing my food diary. I track every day and have 88 days logged so far. Of course I have my good days and my bad days. But even when I have a bad day I am stayiong within my calorie limits. I end up splurging (like yesterday I had a half of a Peanut Butter Snickers and some Milk Duds) but then I just make sure I do the exercise needed to work it off. So I really think I am doing great. Of course I would love it even more if I could pull those big numbers like BL but that isn't realistic.

I have discovered through BL how much I really like Bob Harper. He really feels for his people and cares about them. It leaves me wishing I had someone helping me and supporting me like that. Don't get me wrong, I have support from my friends and family. But they are on the sidelines cheering me on. I don't have anyone to walk with, hike with, exercise with. Someone to push me when I am not feeling it. Or push me further when I think I am done. Someone to cry with me when things are hard. Someone to cheer with me when I reach a goal. I just wish I had someone. For now, I think I am just going to buy some Bob Harper videos though. Cuz that is really all I can do.

Urges...

I should be writing my update. I did my 2 month weigh-in and progress pics last week and I should be blogging about them But fist I need to get this out.

I started watching The Biggest Loser today. I figured it would inspire me to work harder, eat better and really pump me up. Season 1 episode 2. The challenge is about a bake sale. Whoever sells the most, wins. And I am watching them cut up brownies and I start thinking how bad I want a brownie. Ok, everything in moderation. But I just know if I make brownies I WILL eat the whole pan. In fact most of today my thoughts keep going to running up to the store for different junk food to indulge in. I want to watch a moviee and have popcorn. I want a Coke. I want brownies. I wint to binge.

So now the hard part will be overcoming today. DONT go to the store. And dont go scrounging in your cupboards. And then my nemisis. On the menu for tonights dinner: Taco Pizza. We all know I have a hard time when it comes to pizza. But I am making it from scratch so I am thinking I just need to make it a personal pizza. Just big enough for me for dinner. Cross your fingers and hope for me.

OK, so now onto the good stuff: My 2 month stats and pictures. I am down a total of 30 lbs in 2 months. Which means I only have 100 lbs to go! This month I started Jillians 30 Day Shred and I am hoping that it helps me lose not just weight but also inches. I am heading to PA next month and want to be looking great.

30 down and more to go!

I am officially 30 lbs down today. I don't do my 1 month weigh/pics for another 4 days. I am excited to see the progress in pics. I think I am going to see some great results! I am very excited. Also, since I am traveling to the east coast in a month I have started Jillian's 30 Day Shred. I am hoping to be down another 20 lbs by then and looking awesome. I am so excited and happy to be on this journey. Even with my slip ups I am rocking it! ;)
