challenging week....

well WI #1 of trying to maintain for 6 weeks was very successful. i lost another 3lbs. i don't know how i did it but i did. but then the weekend hit and i have been struggling. i need to get back on track so that i ensure that i stay at that weight for next week. i think my mind shifted a little saying "i could have this because i am down". well lets just see if this bites me in the (_l_).

Wow! how time flies....

Well I did it!!!!! I hit goal on July 1, 2008. I weighed in at 134.5lbs. which is .5 below so we shall see how hard it will be to maintain. I struggled so much for the last few months and the day my leader said we might just change your number because you could just be where your body needs to be the obsession just disappeared. And i have lost since then. I stopped thinking so hard about it.
But what a feeling. I never thought I would get here.... I must thank all my friends and family that have supported me.

Wow its been a long time......

i finally had a chance to log on and its been a long time. i have been in the final crunch of school while working, going to an education conference and trying to balance home and health life... it has been a challenge and since i am coming to my first big goal of weight loss it is becoming even more challenging.... i have 3lbs to go as of Thursday 5-8.
i just joined a gym on Tuesday and went 5 times this week. i hope this will help in losing the last 3lbs. the next few weeks ahead are going to be so challenging since i am graduating, i have a wedding, and DH and i are having a summer kickoff barbecue. so i will definately be tested while trying to reach goal.
this weekend has been good so far. not too much beer (which is usually my weekend problem for weight loss). I only had 2 light beers friday night and 1 saturday.
my life is changing as of thursday may22nd as i walk down the aisle to receive my diploma. i have 2 more undergrad classes to take starting may 27th and then i begin the masters program at Marywood in the fall. on top of that I have just been hired in my first real job as a teacher. it starts June 28th. so as i transition into this new stage of life i have to adjust my food and coping skills to deal with it. i am both scared and excited and just hope that i can still do what i am doing now to keep losing weight and maintain. i know my life will be crazy and i hope that i dont fall into my old habits.......
