8 weeks

Well I haven't posted in a while but I am still doing well. I still have not had sugar, it will be 8 weeks tomorrow. I also am still working out and eating well. The one thing I decided to stop doing for awhile is weigh. Simply because it so frustrating to me, to work so hard with little movement on the scale. I am just going to judge it by my clothes for awhile. I was so excited to buy a pair of pants that were a size 14. It's a size I have never worn before because when I gained all my weight which was 13.5 years ago stretch pants were in style. So needless to say when I bought my first pair of jeans I was an 18 and have managed to stay that size for the entire 13.5 years. I figure since I have maintained that size for so long that I have a great chance of maintaining my size, when I meet my goal. As for my goal I just want to be medium and fit. I don't want to be noticed for being too fat or too skinny, I figure a nice medium will be a great fit for me! As for my game a few fouls but still no strike outs!

5 weeks and going strong!

Well I have been at this for 5 weeks and I am still going strong. I have not had any sugar which has been hard at times but has been rewarding. My diabetes is getting a lot better. I have been exercising 5-6 times a week between 30 min to 75 min. a day. I am feeling a lot stronger. I have only lost 5lbs but I am glad I am measuring because I am a lot happier with those results, 12 inches total!!!! I do measure in a lot of places but I find that keeps me motivated when the scale is moving slow. A special thanks to my friend Mel, you have helped me so much with your encouraging comments!!! It really helps to have people motivate me because sometimes it is really hard to do this alone. I think I have had 5 weeks of awesome hits no fouls or strikeouts!!!!

8 days sugar free!!!!

Well this week went great I worked out everyday and stuck to my meal plan!!!! I am not able to weigh and measure this week because I am visiting my mom, so next week I will update on that.

When I say sugar free I mean no added sugar as in desserts, candy, pop etc....
Stopping sugar is a really hard thing for me to do, I feel like it is a withdrawal for me. I get really grumpy the first few days, then down a couple and then feel the blues, but yeah starting last night my sugarless high emerged!!!!! I feel great, energized,happy and healthier. I know its only been a week but oh what a difference a few days can make. I know the exercise helped immensely I am sore but I am loving the feeling of my muscles getting stronger. I know I'll still hits some fouls but this week I hit a double!

Before Pictures

Well here are some of my before shots including before make-up!
Stats so far weight --5
Inches lost...well I'll post them when I have lost some!!
One day when I am feeling braver I will add all the numbers. It took enough courage to this point to start a blog and post pictures. I am somewhat of a cowardly lion.

 

 

Batter Up !!!

Well I thought this would be a great way to help me on my getting healthy journey. I really do want to have this last a lifetime. I felt if I started writing and letting my family and friends see my hits and fouls that it would be the great motivator leading me to my Homerun!!!!

I am going to let you all know the reason I want to do this. I have 2 children that I love with all my heart I don't want them to lose there Mommy. I have diabetes and I know that if I don't take care of myself that could easily become a reality. I also want to be the active person I used to be, so I can be the wife and mother that I have always dreamed I would be. Feel free to give me any advice that you think I need, I am going to need all the help I can get. I will not be striking out!!!!!
