Hey Hey Hey,
Its the end of the day and I did a FABULOUS job! I stuck to my points... I made sure to bring snacks with me when I went on my drive to VA, I drank my water, and I walked my mile. I am rather proud of myself today. Im going to start taking more pictures of what I eat so you guys can see what I am eating. I haven't been to work in a few days so I need to hit the sack early so that I can be bright eyed 1st thing in the morning. I am going to attempt to get up and do my mile at 4am.
Wish Me Luck!
Cher!

Starting Over
Happy New Year!!!!
I am really excited about 2011. I couldn't weight to ring in the NEW YEAR! Mainly because I am starting off with a clean slate. I decided to join Weight Watchers today. I have done weight watchers several times before but now that the new Points Plus program is out I want to give it a try. I am at a different place mentally this year. A little older, a little wiser, and a little bit more determined and sick of were I am at.
This year I also want to attempt to try some new things:
1. I want to try documenting my weightloss journey on Youtube.
This is big for me cause last year while I was sitting home for 3 months recovering from my ankle surgery, all I did was watch youtube videos. This is also going to be and interesting journey because I am very shy, especially camera shy. But I think this challenge will help me break out of that.
2. I want to take more pictures of myself.
Last year you could barely find a picture of me, becasue I hid from the camera as much as possible. I hated all my pictures that showed anything from the neck down. Heck, my neck wasn't even looking all that cute. I think this will help me step my game up with my fashion sense also. I love shopping, fashion, and especially shoes. But 2010 did not reflect that AT ALL! Because of my issues with my weight, I didn't shop, I didn't get all dressed up like I used to do. I didn't wear 97% of the cute shoes that I have in my closet. As a matter of fact, I got rid of 20 pair of shoes.
I am going to stick to those two things for now. But I hope through blogging about this I will be able to reach my goals..

Zumba
Today I am extremely tired. So I won't be going into detail about my entire day. But it was good. I stuck to my points, I worked out (ZUMBA CLASS). I feel good.

A New Weight Loss Challenge
MY FOOD:
I stuck to all of my points today YEAH! At one point I thought I wasn't going to actually eat all of my points, but I did. Around 5 o'clock this evening after I left work I was in a real snacky mood. Good thing I had my handy dandy lunch box. I pulled out some grapes, and some carrots and munched on those. Things go soooooo much smoother when I plan. Sorry no pictures. Today was ridiculous.
MY MOOD: Tired
I will start exercising again tomorrow so maybe that will help rev up my metabolism.
MY DAY:
Again, I was extremely tired. I think it is because I haven't been really active. I have had some issues with my ankle this year and it is slowly healing. Very Slowly. Well I was reading and article somewhere this morning and I saw and advertisement for Zumba. I had the DVDs for Zumba a few years ago and thought it was great. So I went on their website and found a local class. I start tomorrow. I am so excited about this. I love dancing so I kinda feel like I am getting the best of both worlds. I will definitely let you know how it went.
I also have a personal trainer come at an awful time in the morning (3:45) and he works me out really great. I just feel like I need a pick me up in the evenings too. And this will be something I totally enjoy, so I am excited.
Also, I joined a weight loss challenge with a few people I know on facebook. Its a four month challenge to see who can lose the highest percentage of weight by March 1st. The winner wins some cold hard cash. I am really motivated for this challenge. I have already planned my meals tomorrow.
As far as more reasons as why I want to lose weight. I think those first two sum it up in a nut shell for now.

You Should Of Been A Seminole
My Food:
Today started off great! I got up early and got a head start on my food preparation. I started making stuff to last me the week. Here is just a little bit of my day.
Egg Beater Omelete w/ broccli Slaw, Lauging Cow Swiss, grape tomatos, and mushroom. 3 Slices of turkey bacon and 1 apple diced up! HMM, HMM Good!
I guess I can call this my Ginger Shrimp and Broccoli Slaw. I just picked up some things and threw it together. I am by far a master in the kitchen so this is how alot of my meals go.
And here are some of the things I snacked on.
I don't have pictures, but after I went to my parents house they orderd KFC. IT WASNT GOOD!
My Mood: Excited
Severn Seminole Cheerleaders won 1st place today! YIPPEEMy Day:
Today was absolutley fabulous. My daughter had a cheerleading competition. Not only did they win 1st place but they were the Grand Champions for their division. Whoo Hooo Seminoles! They did fabulous! Then to top it off the Severn Parents performed a cheer that was absolutly spectacular. Unfortunately we didn't have anyone competing against us, but if we did, we would of won.
I ordered the DVD of the competition and wasn't exactly happy with the way I looked on it. Of course pictures and video add pounds but I really don't think it would of made a difference. Seeing my self on that DVD really made me think. But I guess not too hard because an hour later I was at my parents eating KFC. (And not the grilled chicken)
I think I am going to have to take a break from going to my parents house as much. That's were I had the beef patty temptation yesterday. Then KFC today. UGH! It just threw my whole day down the drain. Why do I do this!!!!
So to continue on from yesterday
Reason 2 of why I need to loose this weight:
So I can look better in photos and video's. No one wants to look frumpy in their photos and I feel that I do. Some photos I can play it off with a certain pose or a turn, but I don't want to have to position myself just to get a good picture. I just want to be able to get a fabulous picture at any moment. Right now, I am definelty not there. I have a few vacations coming up and I want to look good on the beach. For crying out loud, who doesn't. I just have to mentally get myself there. I am totally fed up with myself but obviously not enough. I don't know what my breaking point will be. I wish it was now.

In The Beginning
Hello, I am in serious need of some motivation so I am going to give Blogging a try. Hopefully this will assist me in getting to my goal. I joined Weight Watchers several weeks ago and all the weight that I have lost I have gained back. I don't want to give up this time. I need this. So I will begin this journey again and try to blog daily to keep myself accountable. Wish Me Luck :)
My Food:
Today, I started off on a good foot. For breakfast I had WW yogurt and 1/2 cup of fiber one cereal with 4 strawberries cut up in the mix. Yummy. Then before I left the house I had a Boca Burger with a tbsp of Mango salsa on a Thomas English muffin. This is where the downfall begins. I sat in the hair salon for hours with my daughter, we were both starving. After we left we stopped and grabbed some Japanese stir fry before we went to the nail salon. It wasn't too bad. Shrimp and Mushrooms over Steamed white rice, and a side of stir fried veggies. The portion they gave me of course was ridiculous and I ate all. Then I went over to my parents house and they were baking beef patties that we brought back from NY the previous week. I had one! OK, maybe I had two.......... I tried. I did go grocery shopping today so I will try tomorrow to get back on track.
My Mood: Sluggish
I have been so tired all week. I haven't been able to get a work out in. I blame this on my diet. Once I eat better, I know things will change.
Me:
There are sooooo many reasons why I need to loose this weight. Today I weighed in at 228. I haven't' been to a meeting in 2 weeks so I gained 5lbs. That was sooo depressing. I really need to loose this weight. I guess to start off I can document one reason a day for the next couple of days.
Reason #1: My Health
As I put on the pounds, I just feel my health deteriorating. Its getting harder to move, its getting harder to breath, my knees, my joints, my back, the list goes on and on. This summer I had to have surgery on my ankle. I fell down the stairs earlier this year (balance problems) and tore the ligaments in one of my ankles. The surgery had me off of my feet for 3 months. Not only was I off my feet with no activity, I was sitting in my parents house doing nothing. I was able to work from home so I sat up in the kitchen everyday working. I had a wheel to rest on to help me get around the house. The only place I was going was to the fridge. I gained close to 15 lbs during that recovery period. 15lbs on top of the 215 lbs that I was already carrying. I knew I had to do something. As soon as I was able to do some type of walking I went to weight watchers. I have been before (each time a few lbs heavier than the previous). This time I went in with a commitment mentality. I can't give up this time. I have to keep going.
