Been A While

I know it has been a few weeks since I have had time to update this blog, but here we are with another weigh in completed.

The last time I weighed in I was at a standstill, I think it was because I ended up spending most of my time working and not really having any time to go to the gym.  Inventory does that to a schedule.  But now I have a few weeks before the craziness comes back. 

This week the total lost is now at 11.7 lbs.  It feels good, not really where I would like to be but I am getting somewhere (slowly).

I will get to updating this on either a daily basis with what I did each day or every other day.  I should most likely do this daily until I get into a groove of some sort.

Weigh In Day

So yesterday was weigh in day and and a week and a half of dieting and (sometimes) going to the gym seems to have paid off.  I have lost 8.5 lbs.  I feel good.  I am that much closer to my 80 lbs I want to lose for my cruise.

I know I am not really good at updating this, I hope to have some fun things to post on here besides updates about my weigh ins and such.  But right now that just seems to be about all I really seem to think about posting on this blog, but you can check out my book review blog or even my own personal blog.

I will be posting links to both of those in the side bar for you all to view at your own pleasure.

Since Starting

So since starting this diet, I have lost about 3 or 4 pounds.  Which is good.  It has been about 1 week and that is a really good pace on the loosing weight process.

I feel good about those few pounds and it makes me ready to take on the next 6 to 7 of the first 10 that i need to lose.  It has brought me into one of those I can do just about anything moods.  Though I did end up drinking SODA (I know the worst thing ever) during our overnight last night.  But I did not eat the burger and fries that everyone else was getting, instead I ate my frozen fruit and pudding cup (I felt like I was in the 1st grade with that).

Now I am in the mindset of taking off the weight, now that I have seen on the scales that it is slowly working. 

They finally set a date

So my family has finally set a date and booked the rooms for a family cruise in May 2011.  This will be part of my parents 30th wedding anniversary, so we really do not want to miss this.  But for me to really enjoy the cruise, I know that I am going to need to lose the weight.  My goal is 60+ lbs and I know it is a huge amount to lose in 8 months but I really do want to make this goal.  And I know I can. 

That ship pictured is a picture of the ship we will be traveling on and I can not wait.  So let is get to working out and sweating as much of the weight away as possible. It is going to be a long 8 months and I know it is going to be painful.
