Weigh-In #5

Hey Guys,

This has to be a quick one! I’m getting ready for work, so you know how that goes. I will be back with updates and posts after I am off for the week!

 

How do you like my Valentine’s Day socks? It is February now, you know! Alright, maybe I’m a little weird…

I am down 2.6 from last week! Woohoo! I am not gonna lie, folks….this week was a tough one. I am exhausted and just cannot wait to sleep tomorrow all night. Hope you guys all had good losses this weeks as well.

Stop by my friends’ pages Vicky and Brandi to congratulate them on their good losses this week! I am so happy for them! Did you have one? Let me know about it in the comments!

Thanks for Reading,
Monique

Weigh-In #4

Hey Guys!!!!

Whew! I had such a rough week….and it still continues! I got in some good activity, but it really did show on the scale this week of me not getting in as many days as the week before. Maybe it could be that the high weeks of beginning weight loss are over? That’s fine. I suppose I should just remind myself of my goal, and that is to only go down and not up! A loss is a loss is a loss anyway you get it, right? YUP! Anyways, here goes this morning’s weigh in:

 

GUESS WHAT I AM WORKING ON!!!!!

?????????

PROGRESS PICS FROM JANUARY!!!!

So be on the lookout for my next month’s movement chart to go up and my progress pics to go up. We’ll see what you guys think! 

Gotta jet. There are almost 100 BIO questions waiting for me on the dining room table. (groan)

Weigh-In #3

Hey Guys!!!!!

Sorry I have been MIA!!!! I have been over here working my heavy hours week at work (next week is my light hours week) and my second week of the semester, so I have been running around here like a chicken with my head cut off, on 5 or 6 hours of sleep a day, and I have 3 days of class during the week! I have still been doing my very best to get to the gym everyday (I did), and go to my Wednesday yoga class and even shaved 3 minutes off my treadmill 5K time last week! I will update you guys next week when I can blog more because I have more time to do so, specifically updating my movements chart and not just the sidebar of daily activity! In the meantime, you know me, I want to keep accurate records in my weight loss, so here is my seven day weigh-in:

Pretty cool, right? =)

I’m off to make my lunch and head off to work, folks! Catch up with you guys on Monday!

Thanks for reading,

Weigh–In #2

Not bad, not bad at all…

Take a look:

I made it into a NEW DECADE!!!!

I haven’t been in the 70s in a good loooong while, so I’m pretty excited about this. 

As far as losing 3 pounds this week….

It really does just show you how freaking hard this is.

Check out my movements page and my sidebar <==================

I WORKED MY TAIL OFF THIS WEEK FOR THOSE 3LBS!!!

Slow and steady wins the race, right? Let’s hope I can keep it up, guys. 

Thanks so much for your words of encouragement all week. They have really helped push me and motivate me. I mean it.

Weigh-In #1

Wow, guys and gals….just wow.

If this isn’t proof to myself that I need to continue to go to the gym and get that movement in…I don’t know what else it will take. I spent months and months of mediocre, half hearted exercise and dieting and only lost 12 lbs. I spend one week of hardcore tracking calories and getting 5 days of good sweaty activity in, keeping this updated helped A LOT, and look what happened….

Yeah, I know….you can sit down now and end the applause, I didn’t cure a disease for crying out loud. No but seriously, I am ONLY kidding. I am just excited! I have not seen this number in a very long time. Now here’s the hard part….keep keep keep it up girl! 

I know this is a bigger number because it is the first week, but I just want it to go down and not up every week. That is my goal. I do not care how much, just not up. Letting it stay the same might be ok with me as well, just not up...we will see what happens.

This is going to be a short one because I am rushing to get ready for work, but I just had to get this in exactly 7 days after my first one for my own personal record keeping. I will be posting longer tomorrow to continue my series on catching up with things going on from December. 

Check out my gratitude journal! It is really helping me on a daily basis more than I thought it would to find the light in some dark moments in my days. It's pretty great.
