Guess who's back!

Yes I am back! This week was a great week for me. I stuck to my non smoking habits! It has been great. It is not easy but getting easier everyday....
This weekend will be a real test. My mother in law is a smoker and she is coming for a visit... She is usually good, she goes and hides so I wont see her smoke. But I still know.... My hubby is being very supportive and thanks me on behalf of him and my son... He says I will be here longer with them by doing this...
Ok so here are my results for the week... As you know last week I gained a wooping 3 pounds! This week I lost 1.75 pounds. I am almost back to the 173 mark... This week I am sure I am going to attein that goal!
Well should go... see you next week

Ah crap...

Well there has been a positive and a negative in the past week.
I have not had 1 cigarette or not even held a cigarette since 8 days ago! I mean it is not easy but I am doing it and I am so proud of myself. I am not taking any drugs or anything like that to help the cravings.. No just plain will power...
Ok so all my will power is used not to smoke so instead I am eating like crazy! Well not crazy but not following my plan at all... So today I get weighed and explained to her that I did not have a good week but you know i did not smoke so I was ok with what ever my results would be.... Ok so not so true! I almost died when she told me I gained 3 POUNDS!!! Is that not crazy! I mean in no way did I eat properly. I ate whatever I wanted. I even had Chinese food but 3 pounds in a week is insane.
So I have decided that tomorrow is a new week and a week that I am going to lose weight without smoking. I can do this!
Have a great week and wish me luck!

OMG

Well got weighed this morning. I was so excited when she said 173 pounds! OMG!!! I wanted to kiss her for saying those beautiful numbers.
I was telling my husband that being at 175 was still so close to 180 but now that I am below the 175 mark I feel like as if I am much closer to my goal!
I have kept on the non smoking as well. Day 2 and going well. If I can motivate at least one other person to lose weight or quit smoking it will be worth while.
I already feel so much sexier, healthier and much more energized!
Well got to go... See you next week... When I get to be hopefully closer to the 170!

I am back!

Ok well I have been gone for a few weeks. It has just been extremely busy at my work. I have been travelling since the beginning of April and just finished last week! So now it is back to normal!
So as of last week, I was back at 175. So the whole time I was gone I gained 1.5 pounds and then lost it again! So I am pretty happy with that!
New thing in my life. I am attempting to quit smoking again. It has been 28 hours since my last joy of nicotine! Ahhh it is not soo bad. One of my friends last week told me when I get a craving just to sing a song and the craving should leave.
So today as I would get a craving I would start singing. My poor co-worker had to deal with my craziness!!!
ah well... stay tune tomorrow... I promise an update on my weight!
Have a great night!

OMG 20 pounds!

Well I can't believe it! I have lost 2.5 pounds this week. This bring me down to 175! I almost started to cry. I cant believe that I have lost 20 pounds since January. I am so excited!
This week was really good. I made sure to eat well and exercise.
Next week I am out of town on business again. I go to Fredericton on Monday and Tuesday, Moncton on Wednesday and then Halifax until Monday. It is crazy! So it is going to be another hard week but I am determined to be careful this time.
So my new goal is to reach 170. I probably wont be checking in next week since I will be too busy....
so see you in two weeks!

Ahhh well.... It was fun!

Well Ottawa was a blast! I had a queu de castor, I ate smoked salmon and oysters!!! I was able to visit the city! I truly had a blast.....
So now it is back to reality and that is a bit harder... So I got weighed yesterday. As soon as I arrived I told her she would not be impressed with me. So I told her everything I ate... She was not too impressed... So she said well it is a new week and you have to jump back in the wagon. Is that even the right expression! So I get on the scale thinking at least 2 pounds more.... to my surprised I only gained 0.5 pounds. I guess all that walking did help.
I also have to say I did choose healthy selections while I was in Ottawa. I also went to they gym one morning. So I am still proud of myself.
Well so back to the grind... I want to get to my 175 this week. I think I can do it cause last night I watched the Biggest Loser and seeing how much they lost in the amount of time they did was amazing!
So I say, if they lost 100 pounds in 16 weeks I can lose 20 pounds in 6 months!
Have a good week!

Another good week

Well I am happy! I lost 2 pounds this week. I am at 177 pounds. My next goal is to be under 175.
I am sure I can make it but maybe not next week. I have to go to Ottawa for a tradeshow... It was not planned but I was asked and away I go. The only thing about being away from home is that it is so easy to not follow my plan. I know I should make good choices, but come on... Everyone around me will be eating some amazing food and all I get to eat is chicken with salad... ahhhh... The fact that I will be in a new city with I am sure amazing restaurants is driving me crazy! I want to eat fabulous foods that I don't have a chance to eat here.
We will see... I mean I don't have to lose all the weight at once but I cant wait to be at the 20 pound mark. Only 2 pounds to go!
Well stay tuned next week to see if I was able to control myself or if I totally lost it!!!
Have a great week...
