I have really blown my weight loss goals this year. I had been doing good the end of last year and the first part of this year, but I just somewhere lost track. Now I am starting over again. Today marks a new day. I am not going to let my past failures stop me from reaching my goals. Much of my problem is that I don’t eat right. No matter how hard I try to learn to like vegggies, I just can’t stand them. The only ones that I can tolerate (still don’t like them but atleast I don’t gag on them) are corn and Romaine lettuce. I’m not that crazy over fruits either - I like apples, bananas, and oranges but that’s really about all. Anyone reading this, just please help me pray that God will change my taste buds and help me learn to actually like veggies and other things instead of gagging and having to literally force myself to eat a few bites of them. I can’t do it on my own, but I know that with His help, I can do anything. Also, I am trying to start jogging again. I have never really been much of a runner and at this time, I can only run short distances at a time.. .and I mean short distances .. .like .10 to .15 mile increments. My short term jogging goal is to be able to jog for atleast .25 mile increments at a time with no problems and continue to keep adding until I can run 3 miles at a time without having to stop and catch my breath.

I have been out of the gym for about 1 1/2 weeks due to the flu bug. Prior to that, I have been having trouble with the top of one of my feet hurting when I try to do anything on the treadmill so I am going to go at my workouts a little different for a little while. I am changing my cardio workouts up a little to the bike to try to keep the pressure off that foot long enough to give it a chance to heal.

I am still hanging in there. I haven’t seen any weight loss recently, but I am still pushing hard in the gym with my training and still trying to be mindful of what I am eating. Hopefull I will begin to start seeing more results. I have been out of the gym this week however as I think I pulled a lower back muscle so I am just taking it easy and allowing my back time to recover before getting back in there again hopefully in the next couple of days.

I haven’t seen any weight drop recently, but I am still hanging in there. I have been pushing really hard with my training and trying to eat better and better. I have been out of the gym so far this week as I think I pulled a lower back muscle so I am just taking it easy letting my back rest.  Hopefully I will begin seeing results soon.

Well I have finally dropped weight. I was at a plateau of 213.0 but finally Sunday 1/14 it dropped to 211.6 where it has been since. Hopefully I will not have as much trouble dropping down below this number this time. Finally seeing this drop has encouraged me even more.

My exercise program has been going great. I have left the gym each & every time so far this year really feeling like I put everything I had into it. Hopefully if I can keep up my exercise program like this along with trying to continue to eat healthy, I should start seeing some weight drop. As far as the eating right part, I am starting to do better. The eating right part is my real challenge as I am such a picky eater, but I think I am doing better on that part.

Well it’s a new year & I am more determined than ever. I have lost the weight before, but just lost it the hard way. This time I am going to lose the weight forever. I have set reasonable goals in place & intend to meet every one of them. I am tired of always being the biggest one in my group of friends & one of the bigger ones, although maybe not the biggest in my family. I am tired of having to dread clothes shopping. One day I will love to go shopping for clothes & buy cute clothes, instead of just trying to find those clothes that look decent while trying to hide as much of my weight as possible.
