Here We Go Again, Again.

Buckle up Baby, It's going to be a bumpy ride.

Good news & bad news.

Good news - Went to the OBGYN this past week. Don't have to do that again for 2 years. (In case you are wondering, that's the good news.)  I have to have a mammogram done, but she doesn't think that the small lump I found is anything to be alarmed about.

Bad news - I stepped on the scale. I didn't want to, but they force you to. Something about getting your vitals... yada-yada-yada. I didn't want to know the number. I can feel how tight my clothes are. I didn't want concrete evidence that I had gained all my weight back.

Yet there it was, in my face, plain as day. All 272 pounds.

So once again I need to get back on the wagon, kick the sugar to the curb, kiss coffee good-bye. I don't even like coffee. its the creamer and the caffeine that I love. I wish that I loved myself as much as I do the sugar and caffeine. Pray for me please. 

Any takers? I may slap back when hangry.. just sayin. 

Time to start planning and prepping. Have a blessed day! 

Weight Loss Accountability Jar

Weight Loss Accountability Jar 

One of these days...

I will stop emptying this jar and starting over.
This jar will have 100 glass cubes in it. Each cube representing one pound, a hard battle fought.

Will I ever win this battle?

Quitting is too easy, starting over is too hard.

Will today be that day? Tomorrow?

One of these days I will prevail. Until then, I keep starting over.

Accountability & Isagenix

My friend Kasey had been on the program for a month or two and had tremendous luck with weight loss and decided to share her journey with me. After hemming and hawing for a few weeks I jumped in with both feet. September 17, 2015 marked the start of my journey.

September 11, 2015 Shirt Size 3X, Neck 18 inches

275 pounds, 434.5 inches total

Very, very unhappy. Definitely not healthy.

Jan 30, 2016 2X shirt. Down 27 lbs. and 32 inches YEAH ME!!!

I did great for about 6 months on the program. I had lost around 30 pounds and 35 inches. Then vacation happened. I fell off of the wagon (yet again), and have had a hard time getting back on track. One would think that I would learn my lesson. My addiction to sugar has gotten out of hand. I did my weigh and measure today and... well, lets just say its not pretty.

13.9 POUNDS & 19 INCHES

I have gained back 13.9 pounds and added 19 inches back onto my already large frame. Those pounds and inches represent my bad decisions. Time that I can't get back. Time that I could have used to lose additional weight. I could be so much closer to my goal of 110 pounds lost.

WHY? WHY? WHHYYY???

NO MORE.

NO. MORE.

The following pics were taken today. I am posting all of this for accountability and with the hope that I can help or inspire someone else out there. Please excuse the dirty hair and lack of make-up.

Disappointed in myself.

Final Thought.. Winner's never quit. Quitter's never win. I'm not a quitter. I may be a slow learner, but I AM NOT A QUITTER!
