SUCK.

I need a jump start plan.  Something to get my metabolism moving.
I'm going to e-mail my doctor.

oops

I just realized I never updated for last Friday.  It was only -0.2, I was frustrated, and I think I just pushed updating out of my mind.  Hopefully tomorrow will be BETTER.

1 year!

1 year and 45 pounds ago, Justin and I were married.

























This past weekend, we spent our anniversary in Spokane, and I bought this amazing dress for going out to dinner.  I forgot to take pictures, but I still had the picture that I sent to my sister asking how it looked:


























Big difference, yeah?  Its amazing what a difference the lack of 45 extra pounds on your body can do.  :)

I know my progress has been crawling lately.  I want SO SO badly to be as close as possible to my goal by the time we leave for Kauai.  Realistically though, at most I'll probably be able to lose another 15-20 pounds in 13 weeks.  So I'll probably be weighing between 164 and 159 when we go.  I can see being able to get down to a size 12 by then, though I honestly have no idea how your pants size correlate with your weight (or if they even really do).
In the weight I've lost so far, I've went to a LARGE 18 (and I say large because I was definitely pushing a size 20), to a 14 in most jeans (including GAP! woo!)

Just another number crunch update.  I'm obsessed with the numbers, but only because I think it gives me something to look at besides my body.  Seeing pants size numbers get smaller tells me that I'm doing something right.  :)

Oh, and of course Justin and I are fantastic.  This year went by so fast, and I'm still as in love with him as the day I married him.  :)

Below 180! About time!

-0.7 pounds this week.

These little tiny numbers frustrate me.  I'm still losing weight, just not enough.
I guess I just have to keep working on my food intake, because I have the exercise covered.  Exercising 3 days a week while working 2 jobs and being a full time student is a lot.  I don't really have much more time than 3 days a week to exercise. 

Like I said last week, as long as I'm not gaining anything, its good.  And the fact that I'm haven't completely plateaued yet is also positive.  I just have to keep chugging along.  And hey!  I finally got below 180!  :)

Off to Spokane to celebrate the first of many wonderful years with my amazing husband.  Without him, only God knows where I would be right now.  Still fat, that's for sure.  :)

It's just like when I was trying to break 200.

Trying to break 180 is getting frustrating! 

-0.4 lbs this week.  BAH!

I'm thinking I need to kick up my exercise.  We do water aerobics on Mondays and Wednesday, so I usually make it to the gym one other day during the week.  This week I got in there on Thursday before class in the morning, which I really liked since it wasn't packed at all at 10 AM.  If I can just make it in there on Tuesday, it would be perfect, but most of the time working out is the last thing I want to do when I have class from 9 AM-7 PM on that day. 

Next week will be better, and I just need to get the ball rolling again. 
But in reality, as long as we're not seeing +, its all good, right?  :)
