Slow and Steady Really?

Okay sorry it has been a bit since I blogged life has been hectic as it tends to get with a husband and five kids running around! Yes five my eldest has come back home to roost lol so far things are okay with her she is making herself all at home! Well lets get to it my weight I was 293.5 last time I think and today I weighed in at 291 so that is a 2.5 pound loss I'll take it though I wish it were more but hey I haven't exactly been working out so I can't exactly complain I do need to start working out I really do! In May I will be able to take both my older two to the gym to work out with me which I intend upon doing! At the moment for other reasons my oldest isn't allowed in the gym on base, but still not a valid excuse for me not being there well I haven't exactly learned how to get to the base lol so that is my excuse but I do have my Wii Fit and like three work out games I could be doing and there is always walking lots of walking to do and well I haven't made time for that. But I'm still doing okay with my eating sure I indulge here and there I wont lie I'm not hardcore like I once was slow and easy taking certain things out of my life I'll get there though! It would help if we had our new fridge instead of a dorm sized fridge but soon soon I shall have my fridge darn it! But there is my weight loss update I'll be posting more informational blogs soon so keep your eyes open :-) I do start back to school this week yippee! Check my other blogs on here for school stuff and random bits on life!

Weigh In For This Week

So I'm doing my weigh in early as I have to get up and get moving tomorrow morning early to get back to NC for my Uncle Charles's funeral. So last week I weighed in at 293 pounds this week 289.5 so for this week that is 3.5 pounds for the week...I'll take that granted it's no Biggest Loser number but for someone who is just doing portion control right now and drinking water not too bad! Once I get the right foods and I get to moving my butt a bit more numbers will be more impressive! I hope I can do as well next week! I have friends coming over the weekend (God give me strength no to over indulge)! I'll be doing more blogging this coming week about different stuff! Including putting together menu's as well! So take care and you'll be hearing from me soon!! xoxo

My Big FAT Truth

Well, welcome to my blog! I am starting this blog to help me work on being a better healthier me and to keep me honest and maybe to help others along the way! I will be blogging about my life past, present and future! I appreciate any comments that are positive cause I am working on being a more positive person I don't want to digress into negativity! So while I was in England I had started this journey into finding that healthier happier me and I was doing so good! I had gone from weighing 301 pounds to being 235 pounds at my lowest! I was on a roll and I was proud! But then the weight loss stopped and I let some doctor tell me that honestly the only way I'd ever lose the amount of weight that I needed to lose would be to have bypass surgery. I allowed him to make me feel hopeless he said I had PCOS and that there were no other options for me! That lead me to feeling like why should I continue to even try, then life hit me over the head my teenager started to become more and more difficult and trying! Then I started my own baking business in England to make some extra money to help pay on a bill of mine and well I sampled it lead to my demise as far as my weight loss was concerned! You have a stressed out person who is yes a food addict combined with yummy baking well it's a recipe for disaster and that is exactly what it has lead to a disaster! I have ballooned back up and I'm not proud of it either but hey I've got to be honest with myself I did it all to myself my choices are what caused me to gain weight just as my choices before caused me to lose weight, people with PCOS do lose weight without having surgery they have done it and I can do it just as anyone else out there with it can do it! It is just an excuse and well it will no longer be my excuse! I love food yes I do! I eat when I'm happy, sad, mad it doesn't matter the emotion I am feeling I eat to be eating boredom and what not. Heck I have ate even when I wasn't hungry! So last Wednesday I took my measurements and I weighed in I have goals I want to meet and I am going to post those measurements here for everyone to see to keep me honest and real with myself. I'll eventually get to blogging my workouts and my food menu's feel free to advise and comment but like I said I will not be entertaining rude and mean negative comments! So here goes my measurements and weigh in from last week:
I weighed in at 293 (which is already a loss since I weighed in at 295 at the doctors a few weeks back)

Chest:48
Waist: 49
Hips: 57
Arms:19
Thigh: 31
So there it is in black and white I have a big old butt! Hey at least I didn't make it all the way back to 301 and that is a good thing!
