❤️ 3 Months ❤️

So, this post isn't exactly diet-related, but I wanted to write about it anyway. Last night, Keegan and I celebrated dating for 3 months. I know that's not a long time, but it's the longest and happiest relationship I've ever been in. He is so amazing and wonderful.
We went to Warrensburg to see Mockingjay, but the line was way too long, so we went to Players for dessert instead. We ended up getting appetizers and desserts (even though we had already eaten dinner at our house). I know I went way over my points for the day, but it was a special day and I felt like celebrating. I'm back on track today and plan to be extra good this weekend, even though it's hard to stay with it when I go home to see friends and family. (See? I worked in a diet aspect to my mushy post!)
If you know me, you know that I was never a very openly emotional person. That was true until I started dating Keegan. He brings out all the emotions (good and bad) in me and I enjoy it and hate it all at the same time. I couldn't imagine it being any other way now, though. I love him wholeheartedly, and he tells me all the time that he feels the same. I've never been so happy, and I can't wait to see what the future brings. ❤️

Weigh-In Wednesday

Today's Weight:

281.2

Ugh...I know, I know. I didn't post the past couple of weeks because I was so mad at myself. I gained so much and got really frustrated. But I think it kind of kicked me back into gear. I've been officially 100% back on Weight Watchers since last Wednesday and plan on sticking with it. (I know I say that all the time, but I really want it this time.) I bought tons of healthy food at Costco this past weekend and have been really good about saying "no" to things that I know I shouldn't eat. Keegan even got on the bandwagon with me and we worked out a way that I can exercise and cook healthy meals. Before, I didn't want to exercise because I wanted to spend time with him and then I wanted to make delicious (bad for you) food that I knew he'd like, but we had a long, heartfelt talk about how I need to do this for myself and he's 100% supportive. I couldn't ask for a better boyfriend. Also, speaking of exercising, I'm back on a regular exercise schedule and do 15 minutes on the bike, 15 minutes on the treadmill, and 30 minutes of physical therapy with weights and resistance bands. I feel so much better when I eat well and exercise even though it's not fun to do. My only worry is next week during Thanksgiving break. Let's hope I have really good will power!

Happy Weigh-In Wednesday, everybody! Well, I gained 3.6 pounds since last Wednesday. I think part of it was I didn't eat well until about Saturday. I finally feel back on track, so I'm not going to let this affect my motivation. I also think part of it was that my scale seems to be glitching (it tells me 10 different weights that are about 10 pounds off of each other). Time for another new scale?? Anyway, I'm still on track for today (even with cheesecake at lunch). I can do this. I will do this. Cross your fingers for me!!

Back on the Bandwagon!

Hello, blog world. I feel like we haven't talked much for the past couple of months other than a weekly (usually late) Weigh-In Wednesday. BUT, I'm officially back on the bandwagon of my Weight Watchers diet and plan to post much more often about my progress/struggles. My boyfriend, Keegan, told me that he supports me in my weight loss journey and would even be willing to diet with me. He claims he won't complain about whatever I decide to make for meals (we'll see...) and he'll make sure he doesn't try and sabotage me with tempting sweets and snacks. I went out for meal twice yesterday and still stayed within my points (or pretty close to it)! I also went to Costco this weekend and stocked up on all my normal healthy snacks (instead of Hot Cheetos and Doritos). I'm feeling confident that I can continue to stick with it from here on out. I just really need the support from my family and friends (and my wonderful boyfriend). Hopefully they keep me motivated and on track (without hounding me). I really want to do this for myself more than anyone else, so if I fail, I'll feel like I failed myself. I don't want that, so I'm not going to let that happen! Here's to being back on the bandwagon!

Go Royals!!!

Weigh-In Wednesday

Happy Weigh-In Wednesday, everyone! I actually posted on a Wednesday for once! I lost 0.2 pounds this week. Not a lot, but still a loss! I'll take that! I really haven't been tracking very good lately, so I need to work on that. I've been exercising a bit more (physical therapy and housework), but I want to get back to doing my treadmill and other exercise equipment. Hopefully I find that motivation! It's parent-teacher conference week, so it's been super stressful, but hopefully I'll find the time to stay on track and exercise! :)

Happy Weigh-In (Thursday?), everyone! I had a bit of a crazy week with a doctor's appointment in Kansas about my shoulder, so I wasn't home Wednesday morning to weigh myself. I weighed this morning, though, and I lost 0.5 pounds!! Yay!!! And now that I have to do physical therapy every day for an hour, I'm somewhat back on the exercise wagon. I have to do stretch bands and weights for 60 minutes a day to work on strengthening my shoulder muscles. Hopefully this trend keeps up!

Weigh-In (Last) Wednesday

Today's Weight:

273.3

Well, I super failed last week at posting...but not at losing weight! :) It's not a lot, but I lost 0.3 pounds. I have been a bit better about not snacking and eating healthier. I've also started going to physical therapy for my dislocated shoulder, so that makes me do exercises at least every other day for an hour or so. Here's to getting back on track (and hoping this Wednesday is kind, too)!!

Yeah...I don't even want to talk about it... I gained 1.2 pounds this week. I just have no motivation. I'm in pain because my shoulder dislocated for the 17th time and I can't really do much without searing pain. I also have 2 boys in my house who like sugary cereal and junk food, so it's hard to say no. I'll get back on it though. I have to. For me.

Ugh........I gained 3 pounds this week. I know exactly why, too. I haven't tracked hardly anything all week, and I haven't really exercised. I really need to get back on the wagon. I just have no motivation. There are fun things going on in my life right now (dating Keegan) and I've gotten to the point where tracking my food and sticking to an exercise routine isn't a priority. I don't want to let all of my hard work go to waste just because I got a boyfriend. He's supportive with my weight loss, but he says that I'm perfect just the way I am, but I want to lose the weight for myself and not anyone else. I know I'll feel better and live longer if I can get to my goal weight. I'm going to get back on track. I just need to find that motivation again.

I failed again... We didn't have school yesterday due to a power outage, so my morning routine was thrown off a bit. I ended up going to work with my boyfriend, Keegan, and worked outside most of the day. It was a good workout, though! I did gain a pound this week because I still haven't been trying terribly hard to stay within my points. I really need to get back on track, but it's hard when I'm cooking for myself and two boys who really know how to eat. Haha. Anyway, I'll get back on it!

Fail Sauce. I have been off on my days all week. We had no school Monday for Labor Day and I haven't gotten my days straight since. So, I weighed this morning and ended up gaining 1 pound. I haven't been very good this week. I haven't been terrible, but I haven't been tracking everything like I should. I'll just keep going though!

Happy Weigh-In Wednesday, everyone! Well, I gained 0.2 pounds this week. I didn't do so great this weekend. I had a lot of snacks like chips and dip because we went to a car show and such. But, 0.2 isn't terrible. I've been on track all week so far. I'm sure next Wednesday will be much better! Also, I'm excited to report that my Grandma Jonell's ring finally fits me! I've lost enough weight that I can actually wear it. She died before I was born, but my dad says that we're a lot alike. I wish I could've met her. She sounded like an amazing lady, and she raised my dad to be who he is, so she must've been pretty great.

Hello, blog world! I'm super excited about this Weigh-In Wednesday! I lost 4.4 pounds this week!!! I am finally officially back on track since summer break and lost all the weight I gained during break and then some. Also, I'm excited because I officially have less than 90 pounds to lose! I still need to get back into my exercise routine, but that'll happen soon and I'm still losing weight, so it's all good.
