3 years later.....

Okay so I just went back to re-read my blog to get back the motivation I used to have and I see that it's been almost 3 years since my last post! So much has happened! Here's a recap:

*We moved to WA and I was so excited to join the YMCA, but they only accepted kids who could walk and Ethan was just 7 months old. 

*We moved to Georgia just 6 months after getting to WA. I had another baby, Mason Thomas Kipp, in January 2012. 

*We moved to Louisiana in July 2012 and I had a baby girl, Emma Grace Kipp, in May 2013. 

So we are still in Louisiana now and I'm a busy mom of 4 and I'm STILL in school. I was so stressed over being 221lbs back then and today I'm 255. 

It's the day after Christmas, so less than a week until a new year begins. It is time. I am ready. 

Let's Do This!!!!!!!

Bleh.....

Okay, I'm really annoyed that I got sick and ate crappy for a couple of days and gained back the 3 pounds it took me 2 weeks to lose. I'm so frustrated with losing inches instead of pounds! I want to see a difference on the scale so badly! I am also super stressed by trying to sort out all the details of this move so I'm sure that's not helping either. I'm just going to try to maintain until I get out to WA and then I'm going to join the YMCA and work with a trainer to get this weight off. I'm not giving up yet!!!!!!

A bump in the road...

So I really enjoyed my free trial of Weight Watchers, but now I can't afford to join because it's so expensive, so I won't be joining until we get our tax returns. I still have a lot of the Smart Ones meals so I can try to eat those and keep doing my workout and hope I see some results. I'm not giving up!

We are moving in 23 days so I am excited to get out there and hopefully find a workout buddy!

Still working it!

I am so happy I'm still doing Weight Watchers and it's pretty easy to follow. I really can't believe that I am actually still following the program, as this is probably the longest I have actually stayed on a diet. I'm still doing my Wii workout too! Hoping to start seeing some real results soon!

I started my workout again today!

I did my EA Active workout today for the first time in I don't know how long. It was hard, but it was good too! It gave me energy for the day! I am going to do it again tomorrow and I hope to finish the 30-day challenge!

Day 4 of Weight Watchers

I am still really enjoying Weight Watchers! I had my one "splurge" meal with 35 flex points tonight - spicy chicken on a wheat hoagie roll plus cheese and a tiny smudge of mayonnaise. It was good, but after I finished it I felt like I had eaten junk after several days of healthier fare.

Either way, I'm happy with the way I'm feeling and looking and of course, that I've lost weight, so I'm gonna keep it up!

Day 3 of Weight Watchers!

I am down another 1.8 pounds, so 4 pounds down in 2 days! Makes me happy! It's 6:30pm and I have 12 points left so I am going to have filet mignon, a plain sweet potato, and some broccoli and cauliflower for dinner. I really love the Smart Ones meals, but I have to get my points in for the day so this meal will give me the extra points I need. I slept late today so for lunch I had Tuna Noodle Gratin and then later in the day I had the Chicken Parmesan. I had the Chocolate Fudge Brownie Sundae and I still have points leftover!

It's amazing to me how I have been full with the portions allotted with the Weight Watchers meals. I am really happy with 4 lbs in 2 day and I hope it keeps up! I need to start my workouts again, but I've just been busy. Soon I will start to add back in the workouts and I hope the weight will just fall off! I am happy that I have all of these desserts so I can fulfill my cravings for sweets and not feel guilty.

Eventually I will have to start eating regular food again, but for now I'm enjoying not cooking anything! I am hoping to eat mostly Smart Ones meals for about a month to see how that goes, then I'll start adding in more fresh foods again.
