Okay, letting that last bit of negativity out is done and over.

Right here and now, I pledge to NOT talk down to myself anymore. Not make fun of my own weight anymore but instead, to see the positives and focus on making myself healthy in body and soul.

You all know how I talk about the Nintendo Wii right? How bad I want one and how I truly feel it will help me?  I actually love workouts but easily get bored with the same one over and over again. This is where the Wii comes in. You’ve seen the Wii Fit, now the Wii Fit Plus and how they offer variety, something I need to stay motivated every day.  And I’ve always heard it’s good to not have repetition so that your body doesn’t expect the same thing.  Is that accurate or am I just making stuff up??  Maybe one of you will know.

I’ve heard some amazing stories from women using the Wii to help them on their road to a healthier lifestyle.  It’s inspirational.  Did you know that 11 million females in the U.S.—one out of every four system owners—is  considered the “primary player” on those home systems?  And a full 80 percent of those female primary players own the Wii console. WOW! I had no idea so I was surprised when I found that. I knew it had to be a big number because it seems like everyone I know has one and is using it for weight loss and casual gaming.

MY UPDATE

I’ve gained weight even since that fatter picture of me. Over 10lbs to be exact.  I’m now at 198. Wow..I’m so ashamed to say that, especially since I know friends and family read my blog.  I’ve asked a few people to hold me accountable. To call me and make sure I’ve exercised. To support me.  I’ve asked you before and you probably think I’m a total loser by now but hopefully you’ll keep on supporting me.  Maybe I could use a prayer too….is it wrong to ask for prayers to help me lose weight? Something so selfish like that?

YOUR STORIES

I want to hear from you. I want to hear your weight loss stories of success  and your stories of,  what i like to call,  falling off the wagon. I want to hear if the Wii Fit has helped you, what goals did you set for yourself, how often did you use it….everything. Pour your heart out.

I noticed that when people were rooting each other (me) on, I was doing great!  I felt not so much obligated anymore but motivated.  And then the encouragement dwindled down….and then so did I which means that I NEED to have people surrounding me, telling me I’m doing great, forcing me to exercise, and pointing a finger saying “Don’t eat that!”. I NEED it.  Seeing my picture with the apron on made me realize that I’ve gained weight and it sickens me.  I don’t know how it can be so hard for me to lose weight when I want to lose it so bad.  Frustrating.

Biggest Loser starts tonight and I know that they inspire me and I’ll get back on that horse and start again.  Even so, I also know that I need more than that.  I need help from a program and I need you. I hate to ask you to be there for me when I’m not always there for you all but I need you.

I am looking at weight programs to see what might work best for me. Every one of them has had success and failures but I want to know what you have tried and why it did or didn’t work for you.

I’ll continue my workout routine but I need you to make sure I do it–to remind me to do it every chance you get.

I’ll be using Tony Horton’s 10 Minute Trainer, taking diet pills, and drinking my trusty Propel.  I think I can manage the 10 minutes for sure and depending on how well my body takes it, I can also do more.

Join in Taking it Off Tuesdays with Leigh.

I’m still considering the Orovo detox but haven’t completely decided on it yet.  I also plan to join the gym here in our local town.  It’s a 24/7 which means I can go work out as much as I want, whenever I want.  I found that I’m having a hard time breathing again and I know that it’s time to lose some weight for health reasons, not for vanity.

I’m sorry I ditched you all last time with this but I vow to stand true and follow through!  Please encourage me, Leigh and all the other ones trying to go from fat to fit!

I didn’t really do much else this week to talk about.  The video says it all I guess.  I hope everyone is doing well in their weightloss journey!!!  Keep up the good work and if you fell off the bandwagon, just jump back on!

Let me know what your results are in the comments!

Okay, now on to what I’ve been doing.  I missed my workout yesterday, so I did it today.  My legs feel like jello and I’m still breathing hard!  NOT ONE single soda!! WOOHOO:)  All Propel water baby!  I bought some of those 100 calorie snacks for when I’m dying from the munchies.  I bought some chicken and Special K cereal.  I’ve done really good so far.  The only thing I ate that I shouldn’t have, is a little bitty pecan pie that my niece made.  I couldn’t let her down! 

My husband has been awesome through this, even joining in some too.  I’ve stayed away from the computer a little more to be active.  I’m feeling good!

Again, I appreciate the support from EVERYONE and wish you all the same!  Now I’ve got to update one more blog and do a load of laundry so I better make like a banana and split!

And here is the video!

Measurements are as followed:

Bust-44

Well, I better git.  I’m gonna go rest while Truett’s napping.  Take care and enjoy the day!!
