Hit a brick wall...hard.

I suppose I'm not being very efficient with keeping up with blogging about everything.  And it's not like I have a whole slew of people that read this anyway, so I think that's why I don't bother.  With the whole weight loss thing, I've been keeping up and putting in some good work.  I've just recently started moving a lot more.  It's been pretty hard to work around so much stuff that's going on, with work and school and having a life.  But I've been trying to faithfully go to Zumba on Sundays every week and when I do, it's quite the workout.  Kyle and I walked 2.7 miles yesterday.  We were gone for a little under a hour and it was awesome.  I didn't feel tired or about to die and it was wonderful to be able to walk and get so much activity in this week.  So far I'm up to 24 activity points whereas I'm usually a steady 11.  I plan on taking the dog for another walk tomorrow in the early morning for maybe a half hour.  

So anyway, I do feel like I've been floating around this 207-209 weight range for the last 3 weeks.  And I know that it was my fault for the most part the first couple weeks because all I've done lately is eat.  And eat.  And eat haha.  It's been a pretty fun couple weeks, but now it's back to the grind.  I have to be serious.  I've come so far and now I have a WEDDING to look amazing for.  And I just want to be healthy and happy for the first time in as far back as I can remember.  I never took my measurements and now I'm kicking myself in the ass, because I know for a fact that I've lost some sweet inches.  I'm down from a size 18 jean to a VERY loose size 16.  And my shirts are all fitting a lot better too.  

I forgot that I started this blog like 3 weeks ago!  Oops!  Well, since then I still feel like I've plateaued and you know what, I'm kind of ok with it this time.  Last time I did WW and hit this wall, I backed off and started eating crap again.  This time I've decided to say F you to this wall and I'm going to break through it and get to the other side.  I'm starting Jillians 30 Day Shred.  From what I understand, it's an ass kicker but that's an awesome thing.  It will also help me get out of this plateau rut by switching up my style.  I'm currently weighing in at 204.6, which means that I've lost 21.6lbs so far!  So exciting!  Since Jan 2010 I've lost 37lbs, which is awesome.  I feel better about myself and I can officially tell my fat clothes to get the hell out of here!


I have a few things keeping me motivated right now and keeping my head on in the game.  The first one is my sister is in Afghanistan and I told her that by the time she came back I would have lost 30 lbs.  Since she's been gone, I've only lost about 5 lbs so I still have 25 more to go!  I hope I can get there, if not super close!  If I do get there, I will be almost to my goal weight which is 155.


The other motivation (besides my awesome friends, amazing fiance and supportive family) is that Kyle and I have decided that we are going to have a destination wedding!  We are having it in St. Lucia and are renting a villa for the week.  As of right now, this is our plan.  Hopefully we get the amount of money we need for it and can make this a reality.  We have done a lot of number crunching and also decided that we are going to have to take out a loan but it's still going to be cheaper for us to do it this way then have it anywhere here. 

Who wouldn't want to get married here!?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So that's the plan for now.  I will keep everyone updated on how much this 30 day shred kicks my ass!!  I'll keep updates more often hopefully (school is almost done!)!  Have a great day everyone!
