Needing to Finish What I Start!

Hey everyone!!!

Before I get into the blog I will have to say that I did my weigh in today and guess what???? Yup! I am in ONE-derland! I weighed in at 199.5lbs today. Sure it is only .5lbs in but I will take it and keep on trucking!

I feel successful! I feel freaking awesome! So far I have just been watching my calorie intake and no more soda! I still love my sweet tea but I reserve it for when we eat out. So now it is just water, water, and well more water. I feel like for once everything is coming together!

Now I know I said in a few blogs back that this time I wasn't going to follow any certain plan, exercise regimen, etc. Well, I lied! You know me and my Type "A" personality there was no way I would be able to go through this with out some sort of guidance/plan. So here it is. It is simple and to the point.

There is an app. out there called Lose It!. I LOVE it! Really simple put in your info and it gives you the calories you should be hitting. You plug in what you have eaten and it counts the calories down for you. You can even scan the bar codes. You keep up with your weight on there as well and when you hit little milestones you earn badges (kinda like Spark People). Cost: FREE! Look it up! You will LOVE it too! I get a little over 1,400 calories a day. And the best part is I am keeping in my calories every day. 

Now on to exercise. (This is where the title comes in.) I was trying to figure out what type of exercise I would like to do this time around. So I started researching videos, plan, web, etc. Then it hit me. I have in my office 3 different workout programs that I spent over $300 on combined and they are there collecting dust. How many of them did I complete? Oh that is easy...NONE! I spent the money on them, used them for a week or 2, and then threw them into a basket and on to a new one. So now I will be dusting them off and completing them one at a time. This should almost get me through to next year between these and training for Disney next year. (Oh by the way I will be using Couch to 5K for that...another AWESOME App!)

The first one I will be using is the PINK Method. I loved this when I used it last time I just wish that I would have stuck with it. You know I bought that program in 2011 and I was 189lbs then. I reflect on if I would have kept up with the program what I would look like today. I would look Damn good! But nope the food was more important. Not anymore!

So this past week I learned:
Water isn't so bad after all...the bathroom breaks those still suck but worth it
The more water you drink the less you will eat 
This weight loss is great but it is time to get moving!

This week my goals:
Keep going with the water
Stay in my calories
Workout for the week sticking to the schedule
See if I can become a morning person (this will be the hardest by far I have never been a morning person no matter how much I try)

So I hope everyone has a great week! Get moving or just change one little thing. For me it started with saying goodbye to the soda and I try to add a new goal each week!
