April 21 March of Dimes 04\19\2008 On Saturday 04\19 Adam and I walked 4.2 Miles for the March of Dimes, it was a tough route a lot of twists and turns, it took us about an hour and 20 minutes to complete. Our biggest accomplishment was that we crossed the finish line, I was in tears because of the pain in my knee and ankles but I made it across. If it was not for Adam being my partner in this walk I probably would not have made it to the finish. April 18 Bob Harper Book SigningSo today Bob Harper was in Arizona signing his new book, I had no clue till I got off work and found out from my mom cause it was on the news. I went and picked up Adam and told him because Bette Sue was also there. So we called the book store to see how long he was going to be there till, luckly we are only about 5 minutes away and we made it in time. It was so cool to see her again she actually remembered me from the MPM Tour that Came in January she looks great. It was so cool to meet Bob and get his new book I cant wait to start reading it. He is just like the person on the show he is nice and compassionate.

I Adam now can see what other people are seeing i am going to keep on going i lost 15 pounds since jan 2nd March 05 WEEK 10 WEIGH INWooooooHOOOOOO week 10 was a great week, I am now down to 342.4 lbs and have officially bypassed the 20 lb mark I have now lost 21.1 lbs since January 2nd, I have 8.9 pounds to go to hit my first weight loss goal of 30 lbs that I wanted to lose before July 1st, looks like I will be ready for swimsuit season sooner than I thought.
 March 02 Week 9 Weigh InI think I have hit a wall for this week I weighed in on Tuesday and am at 344.8 lbs I weighed myself today and no change, but it has been a busy and stessfull week and have not been able to make it to the gym as often as I should the last time I went to the gym was on Tuesday and then again today but things are about to change, Adams schedule is changing to night now which is what I work so we will be able to get up in the morning and be able to excersise before both of us have to go to work and now he has weekends off so we will be able to go saturday and sunday atleast for the next 3 weeks. I am hoping this will get my metabolism back up to start burning the calories again. February 27 GREAT NEWS CAME TODAYSo yesterday I went to the Doctor cause I was told I had inflamation in my liver so I had to have blood work the doctor must have put a rush on it cause I had my results today, Good News it is nothing serious the dr said there is a slight elevation in the liver but it is just cause right now I have a Fatty Liver and if I keep losing weight and eating right then the levels should go back to the normal range so I have to go back in 6 weeks and be weighed and have blood work again to check the levels again. I knew I would be able to get through this. February 26 Another Day Another PoundToday started off pretty good, I had a doctors appointment to have some blood work done because when I went to urgent care on the 17th they did blood work and said that I had an inflamed liver, I really hope it is nothing serious such as galbladder issues cause that can cause the inflamation of the liver, or maybe my body is in shock from the diet charge and rapid weight loss I am now down to 344.8 lbs since January 2nd when I started to lose the weight an18.7 lb loss in almost 2 months as I near the end of February I now realize this is going to happen and it will continue till I am down to where I want to be. At this point no matter what happens with my health I will be back up and continue my fight to lose weight I am not going to let this get me down I AM A FIGHTER ..........Today since I didnt go to work because I had to go to the Doctor Adam and I went to the Gym and worked out with our trainer we did lower body today, we did squats, lunges,backwards lunges, and we ran the stairs 4 times each 2 different ways so all in all I feel pretty good. February 23 Week 8 Weigh InWOOOOO HOOOOO I am now down to 345.4 so this week I have lost 2.6 Lbs this week I am so happy, today Adam and I went to the gym and got our buts totally kicked by the trainer.......today we worked upper body and he had us doing our arms and back boy do I really feel sore it was a lot of free weights and bench presses.....for my self i was doing between 10 and 15lbs and doing 45 lb bench presses and this went on for 3 cycles we worked out for a good hour and a half then because we were sweating we went swimming to cool off. I was a good day.
February 20 Motivationmotivation is a definate must when it comes to losing weight. my husband got me up at 4:30am to go to the gym with him before he had to go to work....you see we are on different schedules he works days and I work nights, so when I get off work at 8:00pm I am too wired to go to bed so I dont got to bed till sometimes 12:30am, so I want to sleep in until about 10:00am before I have to go to work......I keep telling myself I will get up and go to the gym early in the morning but when the time comes I seem to stay in bed  . so this morning we both got up and went to the gym and surprisingly I am not too tired....I will probably crash when I go home tonight but otherwise our morning excersise has energized me. February 18 Dehydration SucksSo yesterday was not a good day, I took adam to work like I do every sunday and was feeling fine went back home got a few more hours of sleep, had breakfast and lunch and was still feeling fine until about 2 o'clock when i started getting these sharp pains in my chest and back, I picked up adam from work at 3 and was in pain all the way there....I thought I was going to die.....I told adam I need to go to urgent care because it was so bad.......2 hours later the dr comes back in and says I was dehydrated......I so thought I was doing the right thing and drinking plenty of water but I guess one day of not staying hydrated after working out the day before is not good. I definatley learned my lesson. February 15 Week 7 Weigh InI just weighed in today and only lost .8lbs so I am officially at 348.0 I love to see whole numbers, so total weight loss to date is 15.5 pounds woooo hoooo, I know right now the weight is not comming off as easily because I am going to the gym 3 time a week and my body is starting to build muscle but I know that my clothes are now begining to get loose and soon I hope to be able to shop for a smaller size. I know this can be done and I am not going to give up on myself or my husband, we will see how much we have lost by easter because we really want to see the reaction on our families face because we have not seen then since christmas.  Myspace Comments @ 123glitter.com February 13 DO YOU SEE WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTUREFebruary 09 in the excersise faze of this adventureso today we went on another hike up south mountain and we took a differnet trail it was a flatter trail so it was not so hard on our knees this time, we also went to the YMCA and signed up for a gym membership so adam and I can go together or we can go on our own because our schedules are different we will probably have to go seperatley but thats ok I am fine with as long as we can get the weight off it will be worth it. February 06 Week 6 Weigh InWoooHOOOO Week 6 was a good week I lost about 6 pounds this Week so I have gone from 354 lbs to 348.8 so I am very proud of myself in 1 month I have lost 14.7 pounds I dont think I have been under 350 lbs since High School and that was almost 10 years ago, I can tell now I am definatley on the right track and both Adam and I will make it through this journey. Our Hiking Adventure Today I had a day off cause I worked on Sunday, Adam was also off today so I had a crazy idea to go for a Hike up South Mountain which is about a mile from our apartment so we left our apartment at about 12:00 and we started walking to the Mountain Parking Lot when we got there we had a couple of trail choices neither of us are experianced hikers so we chose a trail and started walking,it tooks us about 20 minutes to get to the top of a small hill on the mountain and then we took a trail back down and hiked towards the back of the trail and we were very unsure about where it lead and didnt want to make any mistakes and get stuck on the mountain so we decided to head back the way we came so by the time we got back to the bottom both of us were feeling pretty good. |
