Oops Let's Try Again

Okay so last week was not near as successful as I wanted it to be. I did well with the not eating out by only going out once but I never made it to the gym. Not even once. Work was really hectic and I was working really late nights and was exhausted. So this week I'm going to try to hit the gym a couple of times. I have a wedding this weekend out of town so I won't be where I can go to the gym but I will try to go earlier in the week for sure. Good news is I'm still losing by just not going out and watching my portions! Here's to improvement this week and losing more weight!!

Week One Review and Week Two Goals

Well I'm glad to report the week one was a success for the most part. I only went out one day but I didn't have to pay for it. Considering I was going out at least once a day sometimes 2 or more I think going a week with only going out once was a success!! My portion control is going pretty good. Some days I still eat more than I should but I am working on it. Although I am happy to report that just by not eating out I have lost 4lbs. I wasn't expecting that much and it has definitely made me want to keep going. I bought me a gym pass this last Saturday so now it's time to start adding some exercise into this.

Goal
1/14/13-1/20/13
Make it to the gym at least 3 times and walk for at least 30 min.

Also keep and improve last weeks goals.

Here's to the next week and more weight to lose!!

Trying Something New

So I have never done a blog but most of all I have never posted anything about my weight online so this is all very new and very scary for me but I wanted some accountability and somewhere that more than just me see my goals.
I have battled with my weight for several years now after sustaining a back injury. I was put on 2 different medications that contradicted each other and with in a months time put on 20lbs. Not horrible I know but i was already about 15lbs overweight so this put me at being 35lbs overweight!!! I was devastated but due to the injury was very limited in what I could do. Sadly I turned to food for comfort and obviously kept putting on weight. Well here I am now about 50lbs more than I want to be and I'm getting married in 6 months. I have played the yoyo dieting game and lost and gained over the last few years but always give up. Well I don't want to give up this time. I want to make one goal a week and try to lose weight that way. I have tried changing too much at once too many times and fail but if I can change one thing at a time and make it a habit I think I can accomplish my goal of losing weight. I know for some people losing weight and setting goals is easy but for me it is a big challenge and I get discouraged very easy. So here is starts One Goal a Week!!

Goals for 1/7/13-1/13/13
No going out to eat at all!!!
Portion control!!!
