Week 9 - A Year of 21s

Sorry friends.
I forgot to take a picture this week.
My life has been a wee bit chaotic the last couple weeks as I have started a new job, my hours have picked up at my original job, and I've had plenty of other appointments. The lack of routine has really been killing my fight to be healthy - but after a long down hill slide I think I have finally caught myself and am focusing on getting myself righted.
214lbs this week.
I'm not going to lie.
I am truly disappointed.
I wanted to be seeing huge change.
But huge change only comes with huge change - and I am struggling just to keep the three basic rules I have set for myself thus far.
I tell you this though - I will not give up!
I have 52 weeks in a year.
Still plenty of time left.
And even if a year from now I am only 10 lbs lighter, instead of the huge goals I project in my head, I will still be 10lbs closer to my goals than I would be if I gave up . . .

Week 8 - A Year of 21s


Week 8 update - so apparently writing everything I eat down is a harder habit to form than I initially thought - but I am working on it.
I was 216 lbs this week when I weighed in, but I was visiting a friend over the weekend, so I'm not really surprised.
Hopefully week 9 brings happier results.

Week 7 - A Year of 21s

Good morning!
Here is my weekly update:



212.
Down another pound from last week. I know it's slow progress, so sometimes it is hard to keep being consistent because I think to myself that one exception won't count - but it all adds up and even slow progress is progress in the right direction. Hopefully this will be the year that I see real change :)
Also - Starting today I am officially in Phase 3, which is : Write down everything I eat.
Talk soon.

Week 6 - A Year of 21s



213.
Down a pound from last week.
And I know you can't really tell in the pictures, but I've lost some inches all around. Not a lot, but a little - and progress is progress.
As I said last week I have begun following a 12 month plan put out by Chris Powell - http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/body-transformation
Which on top of doing I have put together my own cardio plan, and of course I am still following my year of 21s. Right now I am two thirds of the way through not eatin after 7pm. Which has proved to be more of a challenge than I anticipated. It is perfect the days that I am home, but with my work schedule their are generally a couple days a week when I get home after 7 - thus I am eating dinner after 7. So until I find a more regular job, I am just doing my best with this one, and others of my upcoming life changes may have more of an impact on my weight.
Alrighty. That's my update for the week.
Hope all of you are doing great at your own goals.

Can hardly wait for spring.
