The Good..Bad...Ugly...

I was cleaning at work last week and found this pic from our honeymoon cruise in 2007.  Before my wedding, I was on a high as far as the "weight loss journey" was concerned. I was working out everyday and eating healthier. I did well and I managed to loose 50-60 lbs? Unfortunately, this was one of many times in my life..I lost the weight but only temporarily. Over the next 4 years I added it back and then some. I got pregnant w my 2nd baby, Bella in 2010 and during my pregnancy I was quite sick the whole pregnancy and actually lost 20#s! Yeah, IKR! Well..After having her, I put that 20 right back on too...And that's about when my latest journey started, in October 2011. I think I may have mentioned how excited I am about this cruise...Well I found another reason, I can't wait to update THIS PIC! Cruise Pics! YAY! :D

Goals from last week were:

So The Good...
Ive been really keeping active, Im proud of that. Getting the whole fam involved on the bike rides, Its been fun. This week after Leg Day on Friday, Chad & I did TRX w the help of a trainer at the gym (Vince) and OMG! My abs are still screaming today!!! Over the weekend if I had to laugh, cough, strain of any kind I had to bend over and hold my stomach. That's when you know its a great workout! Also my jeans from Express (biggest sz they have, sz 12) and all of my other hand me down dress pants (range 12-14s) are all way too big in the waste!  I can certainly drop down a size! EXCITING NSV! Last but not least I finally made it into the 160's!!!! I stayed 169 from Wed-Saturday. :)

The Bad...
That doesn't really matter anymore bc Sunday I messed it up and then yesterday I fell into the temptations again. Mom cooked, I over ate. End of story! :(

The UGLY...
Two bad days of over eating and Im right bk at 171. UGG!
Well...Im disappointed but I can't say that it comes by surprise.  

CHALLENGE UPDATE: WEEK 2 

 
 I will get bk on track this week and I will see 160's again, Very soon!
  
To Do This Week:
~Workouts:Get Em In 
~Hydrate:H2O
~Log on MFP 
~160's!!!
  HAPPY EASTER TO ALL OF YOU  OUT THERE!!!

  2. TY Amanda! No I don't really have a goal pants sz. I have always worn my clothes bigger than needed. Its strange buying clothes that fit, but Im loving it. I can't ever remember being a sz smaller than 12 in my adult life. So thats exciting! but I don't really care what pants sz Im in. Im just glad I can walk in just about any store and actually find thing that I like that FIT! AMEN!! My prayers have been answered!!!:)

  3. Ya know what's funny, that Nicole from the 2007 cruise pic is the person I knew all these years but looking at that picture, I don't even recognize you. I only see you now as the thin healthy Nicole...so pics like this old one are shocking to me, even though that's who you were for so long. Always beautiful though....and one of the funniest people I know.

    I'm so proud of how far you've come and how hard you work to get even further. Keep it up!
