Progress....

Well yesterday marked a month that I have been back on track with my weight loss. I decided to get the courage up to take a progress picture from where I started. I'm starting to see progress Yesterday I weighed in at 236.5. That means I'm down a total of 17 lbs. I don't think that's too shabby, I'm already starting to feel better.

 

The best part is I haven't made significant changes....I'm paying attention to my body though. I try to not eat when I'm not hungry. This has always been a big struggle for me. I tend to eat when I'm bored and stressed. When I'm on break at work, I used to think that I had to have a snack every break. I've stopped doing all of these things. I eat what I want but I eat smaller portions and try to fill up more on healthier foods. I started exercising some, but I need to do better. This week it's going to be a goal of mine to start taking the kids on a walk around the neighborhood at least 3 times a week. It'll be good for all of us!

And the journey starts.....

So I've started getting back on track with my weight loss again. As most of my friends know, every time in the past that I have really started to lose a substantial amount of weight, I've gotten pregnant. It has become a little bit of a joke between me and most of my friends. They encourage me not to lose weight so I don't get pregnant again, haha. But this time I have decided I'm going to lose weight, get healthy, and stay that way! So far I have lost a little over 10 lbs. I've started taking pictures so I can see the progress I'm making. It's always a great reminder of how far I've come and gives me the motivation to keep going.

Here's my pictures from the end of June. This is almost my heaviest weight. (Ignore the frowny face...I was focused on my body and not my face at the time, lol)

And even though you can't see a big difference yet, here's the pictures that were taken tonight. I weighed in last at 239.3.

 I'm excited to get healthier. I am already seeing a difference in the way my clothes are fitting and I'm stoked!
