486 days!

 SW: 217

CW: 207

I took somewhat of a cheat day yesterday. I needed to jumpstart my weight loss again. I am going to start weighing myself about the same time everyday so I can get more accurate. I plan to weigh in between 6-7am. Tuesdays-Thursdays that’s when I will be waking up. I don’t have to wake up that early Mondays and Fridays so I am not going to. It is still more consistent than weighing in between 7-10am. 

Tomorrow I don’t have to wake up until 8:30 so I’m not sure if I’ll start then either. It will probably start Thursday with my morning classes and then Friday I will be up at 7 to get the kids ready for school. 

I wanted to note that yesterday was a cheat day so that I do not take one for at least another week. If I still have not hit a plateau by then I will keep going. I just won’t take a cheat day if I hit a plateau in less than a week. 

Even though I might have had a few extra calories yesterday, I still reached my goals with my Apple Watch rings, 10,000 steps, and 100oz of water. I would really like to keep this habit going. 

The last time that I recorded a high weight was in the past couple of weeks, and I was around 210. So, I am thinking that my new high weight is 207! I am two days away from reaching the 1 month mark of this weight loss journey and I will have at least lost 10lbs! If I can keep going at this rate, I could meet my goal in August of this year. So, I am extremely happy with this months loss! As I’ve mentioned before, I have met my goal for January and February! I am 2lbs from even reaching my March goal!

I am wearing pajamas that I got for Christmas and am feeling encouraged that they fit way better than the first time I wore them! 

I think it’s also important to note that to reach my goal I need to lose .15lbs a day. So, that can make weigh in time very important! Tomorrow at this time, the scale should at least say 206.8!

460 days!

SW: 217 CW: 199.6 My weight may fluctuate back up, though I hope it doesn’t! It’s so nice to finally be out of the 200s!! I have closed my Apple Watch rings every day in 2022 so far! I am still tracking calories, with a few exceptional cheat days. I don’t think I will take a cheat day this week. I did get down to 199 something last weekend but then went up a few lbs after my cheat day super bowl Sunday. I also was retaining water this week. So, that could be why I went up a little. Another possibility is that I am still retaining the water and will drop a couple lbs over the next couple of days. Either way, I am feeling good about my progress! I know I still have a long way to go, but I have 460 days to get there and I will use each one wisely. I am so glad that I am into this routine and seeing progress! It’s been 55 days since I’ve started and I have lost 17.4 lbs. I feel that is a steady loss. I only planned to lose 5 a month, but I have lost more. I don’t feel like it’s coming off ...

495 days!

 SW: 217 CW: 207.4 I’ve finally made official monthly goals. They’re written on my calendar. Each month I want to have reached my goal by the 27th of the month. This is because our cruise leaves May 27, 2023! So, I have it planned, on the 27th of each month: Jan 2022- 215 ✔️ Feb 22- 210 ✔️ March 22- 205 April 22- 200 May 22- 195 June- 190 July- 185 Aug- 180 Sept- 175 Oct- 170 Nov- 165 Dec- 160 Jan 2023- 155 Feb 23- 150 March- 145 April- 140 May- 135 So far I have reached my January and Feb goal for this year!! I’m 2.4lbs away from reaching my March goal. I plan to keep these numbers the same regardless of how fast I reach my goals. I know my weight loss will slow down at some point. While I would hope to continue to see progress through each month, if I ever realize that a month is approaching and I will not reach that goal, something will need to change. My exercise intensity might increase, my diet might change slightly. I won’t change anything while I am still seeing progress. I...

515 days!

Welcome to the beginning of my journey! My blog is titled “515 days” because that is how long I have to lose 82lbs. It’s not a mandatory number but it’s a very serious goal. In 515 days I will be setting sail with my husband on the same cruise ship that we sailed on our honeymoon. We will be celebrating our 10 year anniversary one year early because I am graduating college in May 2023!! I returned to college in fall 2019 as a married mother of four. My children were aged 7, 4, and the twins were not even a year old. I was also working full time until Covid-19 happened. I worked at a restaurant, and continued to do so off and on until starting my part time job as a specials teacher in an early childhood school this year. The stress of two jobs, being a full time student, and having a family to raise was just too much. I gained 40 some pounds over the past couple of years. Especially these past six months, I haven’t exercised much because I feel like I’m stuck on my computer completing h...
