Fat Ass Friday

Wow, 2 weeks in a row! I'm off with a bang! Let's see how this past week went.

I had a goal to drink 4 glasses of water every day and I'm ecstatic to say that I did it! And even better than that, I haven't had any carbonated drinks in a week. Go me!

I hoped to get in 2 workouts in the last week and I accomplished this one as well! Last year, I purchased "The Biggest Loser" Wii game, so I brushed the dust off it and started again. Back to having animated Jillian yell at me. Yay. I did 2 Biggest Loser Wii workouts and they totally kicked my ass. Mostly because I foolishly decided that I could tackle the Intermediate workouts and leave the Beginner workouts in the dust. Heh. I need to have my head examined.

My final goal was to only eat out twice. I blew this one, but I did make better choices when eating out, which is progress.

My goals for this coming week are:

1. Drink at least 5 glasses of water each day

2. Get in at least 3 workouts

3. Reactivate my Sparkpeople account and start tracking my food intake

Starting Weight: 222.7

Current Weight: 222.5

Total Loss: .2 lbs

Oh well, you have to start somewhere...right?

Fat Ass Friday - The Inauguration

I hear you guys already. Yes, I'm back on the weight loss bandwagon...again. My new blog friend, Brandy, hosts FAF each week and I'm signing on for some motivation because I like her style.

So, I had an eye opening visit with my Wii this morning. Let's recap.

It told me that my last visit was 372 days ago. Sheesh. And it said it with a snarky tone too. What a jerk.

It then told me that since my last visit, I've gained 8.6 lbs. Wow. I suppose I shouldn't be TOO surprised, seeing as I've been sustaining the payroll at my local Panera Bread for at least a year now. As a matter of fact, I have a lovely Asiago Cheese bagel (or 2) toasting in the oven right now. But I digress...

I've noticed that over the past few months, I've really started becoming an emotional eater. If I'm upset or stressed, I've been turning to food to self-soothe A LOT. Obviously. And unfortunately, I've had a lot to be upset and stressed about, which has given me ample opportunities to stuff my face.

So, today begins a new journey where I'm going to try to figure out new ways to deal with my issues. I have to stop using food as a filler because the only thing it's filling is a larger jean size (very soon if I don't stop now).

Starting Weight: 222.7

Goals for this week:
