So I have joined The YMCA and have faithfully been going to the gym 5 days a week. I do the treadmills and the nautilus machines. Once my oldest is done with school for the summer, I am going to join a couple of classes for working out with my stomach. My stomach is my worst area, in my opinion.

So far I have lost 7lbs and have kept it off!! Seven pounds isn't not a lot considering it has taken me about 2 months to get there but at least I am 7 less than I used to be. Hopefully with the gym, I'll be able to average 1-2lbs a week. I think it is a healthy way!!

So yeah for the Y and for losing some weight!!

I know five pounds doesn't seem like much but it is a start. I also know with my period it'll come back some. Hopefully I can find a gym soon that will benifit me and my family!!!

So yeah to the five pounds!!

Spark People

I am trying out Spark People. It is a free program where The Biggest Loser cost's $20.00 a month... Well see how it works. I'm hoping it'll help some.

I've also been drinking a lot more water and only maybe one Dr. Pepper a week. I bought one today at Burger King and brought it home. I set it on the counter while I was doing dishes. I was taking small sips at a time. My youngest came in and saw the two pops on the counter, daddy had his coke next to mine, and happily grabbed my pop. He then accidentally dropped it and it spilled EVERYWHERE!!

I think that was a sign to continue to stay away from pop! What do you think? *smile*

There is nothing easy about the holidays, especially when it comes to food. It's all you do and see!! I know for a fact that I must have gained two pounds at least! I love holiday food.... Yet when I look at myself in the mirror afterwards I feel like the biggest loser on the planet. AND I don't mean "Biggest Loser". Ugh!! Gotta love holidays!

So I've decided I need to really get serious about losing weight. I know realistically I will never be 110 but to make a goal of 135-140 seems pretty reasonable!! (I am bigger boned so I know 110 is a sickly weight!) Therefore I am going to blog my weightloss process... Open to all to read and hopefully it'll give me motivation to see the weight come off and others too! (If I am successful that is!)
When my husband and I got married I weighed in at 180 lbs!! Since having three children and eating out TOO MUCH I now weigh 223!! I feel gross about myself and can feel my butt start growing up and getting fat! Ugh! It is all my fault too. My Jamie has tried numerous times to help me lose the weight and I continually fight him. Why do we do that? Fight those who are trying to help us?
So now my new thing is to follow along with the "Biggest Loser" and to work out and eat healthier!! I know I have support of my husband so I am not too worried. It is just a matter of me actually putting my thoughts into action!!! I don't want to look like these pictures anymore!!!
