I am very excited to report that I completed my first ~4 mile hike today. My husband is such a sport.... we both bought hydration back packs, hiking shoes and he is joining me on my adventures. We were both so in awe with nature that we are planning our next outing for next weekend. So cool to get in shape and have fun at the same time. :)

So I took the first step and purchased my first pair of Hiking shoes last Friday. They had a fantastic selection at the REI in Santa Monica. I am working on "breaking them in," and they are awesome so far. I am also planning a 3 mile hike for next Sunday! I am so excited to start this new Adventure. It is hard to believe I have changed my life so much in the last 5 months.. from a couch potato, eating potatos on the couch, to an outdoor and gym going gal. Thank you ww! BTW, the photo was from an 80's themed birthday party...and they still sell AQUANET out there! :)

I spent 5 hours last Sunday going through my closet and drawers. It was crazy! I got rid off 4 big bags of clothes that NO LONGER fit me. It was so liberating! I have gone from size 14 to 12 to 10! and continuing working my way down. My shirts have also gone from XL to Medium. The closet feels so empty now, but it is ok. I want to accomodate for the new me and the future me and the current me. I have never done this, I always save some "safe" clothes... just in case... i gain some weight int he future. This time, I did not. I am proud of that.
Have you cleaned out yours?

With the Hiolidays behind, I prepare for the new Year. There are so many things to accomplish.. contimue with my weight loss journey is one of them. The Holidays were not easy, but as I realize that I as I lost and gain 2 lbs in through December, I have to say, that is really good. There are so many other things that I am proud of beyond the weight lost so far. The arch of my feet do not hurt anymore, I am more active, I plan my meals better than I ever have done before. I am really proud of those changes I made in 2009. It was a really good year. Because of this, I am resetting my initial weight to 152. I have lost 20 lbs since I started the program last July and as I move forward, I want to get new inspiration and new goals.
2010 will be even better, my goals for this new year are:
1) Hike 10 miles in Yosemite this summer
2) Reach Ideal weight
What are your goals this year?
Have a wonderful 2010!!

Food and the holidays are like, butter and bread. So difficult to make healthy decisions. Tomorrow we are traveling to the bay area to visit family. My plan is to carry a picnic basket to avoid stopping at every fast food restaurant on the way there. I do not want to gain weight during this season. At least I would like to mantain what I have lost ~22 lbs. It has been really difficult to get here. I have been looking at my old photos and wow. What a difference.
I hit the gym yesterday and will do today. At least I can keep active before my trip.
Have a wonderful Christmas!

I had my weight in today. No loss.. Again! I know, I know, it is thaksgiving week, it could have been worst. I did splurged on sweet potatos with sugar & butter! (delicious... bad, bad) I ate turkey and stuffing AND bread! It is like I ignored the little angel on the right of my shoulder for a couple of days. I did however, hit the gym on thaksgiving day and I was proud of that. I did excersie 4 times during the week. I belive that saved me from gaining... sigh, sigh. I am starting over again today.

I am terrified of weighing in today. I had a 1.2lbs gain last week and this week I have used half of my weekend points. I typically do not use those, but I they are there to be used, so I thought, well, i am going to try. Now I feel guilty for having used them and afraid of going to the meeting. Is that typical? Anyways, instead of focusing on that, I decided I am going to focus on the fact that I have been buying shirts size MEDIUM! I used to buy large and at my heaviest weight x-large. So, there, I AM making progress and my feet are hurting less AND my husband is proud of me. So, that is my focus for the day and this week.

I feel a little dissapointed. After reaching my 10% goal 2 weeks ago, I gained 1.2lb this last week! That was a killer, I thought I was doing good, but maybe I underestimated the points I was using. I hear and read it is normal, but what a buzz killer. I was so excited to start getting close to my 20lb weight loss, but now I have a set back. ummm, i guess, I need to go back to the drawing board.

I am happy to announce I reached my 10% goal or 17.2 lbs weight loss!
I have had many emotional ups and downs with my weight and my relationship with food. But throuhj it all, my husband has been there to support me, even my boss has been supportive when I am able to leave work, on time, for my ww meeting.
I got teary eye when I received my key chain at the wi mtg. I was speachless... what do I say? My weight loss has been slow but steady in comparison with others, am I am learning to be ok with that. I have learned a lot of awesome habits in the process and many are becoming second nature. I have tried many different fruits and vegetables that I would not dare to try before. I am becoming healthier and healthier one step at a time, and at the end, to me, that is all that matters. :)
