Today is Dec. 1, 2009. I am starting over with this whole weight loss thing. I lost all my weight at the beggining of this year by walking. Next week will be my one year marker on Spark and I still never reached my goal weight. Oh, I got close a number of times. My goal weight is 135 and a couple weeks ago I got to 135.4 and on some days 134. But never 135 or lower on my weigh in days so I still don't consider it as "reaching my goal weight".

Today is Dec. 1, 2009. I am starting over with this whole weight loss thing. I lost all my weight at the beggining of this year by walking. Next week will be my one year marker on Spark and I still never reached my goal weight. Oh, I got close a number of times. My goal weight is 135 and a couple weeks ago I got to 135.4 and on some days 134. But never 135 or lower on my weigh in days so I still don't consider it as "reaching my goal weight". Lately I have been screwing up on the weekends which really sucks. The holidays are here and it is just harder. But I know I don't like the way I feel and look with extra weight on me and I have gained a couple pounds back. So, today I am clearing my tracker and starting with my weight as of today...138.6 and only putting a couple pounds to lose on the tracker. This may seem crazy but I think it is the only way to actually finally lose this extra weight and keep me in check during the holidays. But I don't want to forget that my starting weight at my highest was 170pounds. So this is to starting over like I haven't been doing this for a year already, to finding a better "in between" with eating and excersizing.

2/17/09- As I get closer to my goal weight I have started thinking that weighing 135 is crazy. Not crazy like I would look horrible or could never achievie it, but crazy that WOW I am going to achieve it and I can't believe I am going to be 135 again. The thought is crazy!!! LOL I am about to be at 145 (which before I started spark I always thought would be my goal weight if I could weigh less)then I only have 10 pounds to go. That't it, just 10! That sounds so much easier then the 30 I was trying to lose to begin with. WHEW! I can see the end of the tunnel finally.

Happy St. Patricks Day!!! I reached my $1800 goal yesterday for the Avon Walk, pretty excited! I also got engaged last week to the love of my life! I am really excited about that. I am almost to my goal weight. I am sitting at about 142 right now. This was my goal when I first started Spark. I changed it about a month after I started. I love this site!!! I don't think I would be at this weight if I didn't have it! So, everything for me is going good now:)

LOL I just thought this was funny: My fiance keeps telling everyone that I lost 20pounds and he gained it;) He has put on about 20lbs, but he was trying to. He has always been little, very hard for him to gain weight. I think he is proud of me:)

I am so undecided when it comes to my final reward for my weight loss. I have changed it soooooo many times. This last time was only a couple days ago I was going to get my tattoo recolored and add something to it. But after thinking about it, it doesn't need to be colored (maybe I needed some lotion when i first looked at it lol) and I don't want to add anything just yet because it would go up my stomach and when I get pregnant it won't look good!! So I will add to it later down the road after I have kids...I think now I am settling on a new belly ring for reaching 135lb! I better make up my mind soon, I don't have much time left:)

So I have managed to lose nothing this past month. I actually gained a pound. Like seriosly 1lb is not THAT bad for a whole month. But, I am still working toward my 135lbgoal. It will be awesome to finally hit it. So still have 5lbs to go and I am hoping to lose it by the beggining of June. I started running as opposed to walking so I am thinking I have gained alot of muscle. Isn't muscle supposed to help you lose fat though?

Hey everyone, I just signed up for my 2nd Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. It is In Houston April 10th and 11th 2010. 39 miles in two days. The hard part is raising the money. My maid of honor is going to walk with me so we have $3,600 to raise. YIKES. Here goes nothing:) If you want to check out my Avon page, go to this site: http://tinyurl.com/nqk2wk

So, I am almost to my goal weight, I know I have been saying that lol But seriously this time. This morning I weighed in at 134.2 which would mean I was past my goal, but my weigh in day isn't until tomorrow and I was sick all day yesterday and couldn't keep any food down. Which is why my weight was so low lol By the end of this week Brandon and I will officially have the house to ourselves! This has been 2 years in waiting. No more relatives living with us! Brandon is goind to school full time now so he can graduate earlier. My birthday is in 2 weeks and the plan was to be at goal weight by then so it better happen!

I stole this poem from somebody...Hope you don't mind, but I really like it LOL:

ONE POUND OF FAT

Hello! Do you know me? If you don't, you should.

I am ONE POUND OF FAT, and I am the happiest pound of FAT that you would ever want to meet!

Want to know why? It's because no one ever wants to lose me! After all, I am only ONE POUND OF FAT. Just ONE POUND.

Everyone wants to lose 3 or 5 or 15 pounds, but never ONLY one. So, I just stick around and happily keep you.
Then I am free to add to myself, ever so slyly, so that you never seem to notice... That is, until I have grown to 10, 20 or even 30 pounds in weight... YES... it is fun being ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT... left to do just as I please.

So, when you weigh in, go ahead... just keep on saying, "Oh I only lost one pound." (As if that is so terrible.)
For you see, if you do this, you will encourage others to hang around me because they will think that I am not worth losing.

And I LOVE being around you... your arms, your legs, your chin, your hips, and every other part of you. HAPPY DAYS!

After all, I am ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT!!!
