My weightloss journey so far and about how I need to kick my ass back into gear!

There I go again, not updating in over a week. Ugh. I just find myself SO busy lately! But I do have to admit, I also watch too much TV. Its my husbands fault really lol. He is always seeing advertisements for these new shows that he feels the need to put a season pass on them (which means the DVR will automatically record it whenever it is on), and since we have similar tastes and spend a lot of time together after work, I find myself being sucked into watching these shows! Most recently it is going to be Go On and Animal Practice, we watched the pilots for both and fell in love. Thankfully Hell’s Kitchen just ended and America’s Got Talent is almost over! And thank the Lord for DVR!!! I love not having to watch commercials all the time, and it saves time!

I personally cannot wait for the show The Biggest Loser to come back on!! I LOVE this show, it is what gave me so much inspiration to start losing weight. I started watching it in season 10. For Christmas 2010 my brother got me The Biggest Loser game for the wii and I began my weightloss journey. I got books and workout DVD’s from the library, I read articles on the internet and signed up for newsletters and to be a part of 10 pounds down group on facebook (which is ran by Jessica Smith Gomez, she is AWESOME! I fell in love with her on the 10 minute solution DVD’s but she has done so much since then including the newer 10 pounds down DVD’s and the upcoming Thin in 10 book and DVD. If you are trying to lose weight, go check her out!).

Anyway, I ended up losing 40lbs in 2011 J and I have maintained that loss and actually lost about 5lbs more this year, but I am still shy of my goal by 20lbs. So I know I need to step things up, last year I was basically a workout machine, at least 4 days a week, usually for an hour total. But lately I have allowed myself to slack quite a bit!! And I know that a person’s diet is probably the most important thing, and I have NEVER been good with keeping my fingers out of the cookie jar. But I do try to log what I eat on my Lose It app (which I also recommend and like very much). I have the most trouble on the weekends.

After I am finished with this I am going to get a workout in this evening, probably 35 minutes on the elliptical. I am hoping to try to work myself back up to workout out M-F for 45 minutes to an hour a day. And I am going to try to work on my diet more…but I think I may struggle with that my whole life…what can I say I just love food! Wish me luck, and I’ll be letting you know how it goes. Oh, and I am working on telling you about my popsugar must have box, that will be posted soon. Until next time…..
