Growing up

I thought it would be kinda fun if I posted pictures of the past 5 years sense this coming June is 5 years of being out of high school. Sometimes I have to pitch myself because its hard to believe high school was 5 years ago and that I have officially grown into an adult. I love my life, my friends, boyfriend, family, job, doggy.

Achived A Few.

I was just reading my past blogs and I noticed my goals for December was for me to get weight watchers down, I am so glad I accomplished that. I feel like I really know what I am doing with weight watchers. I am of course still learning about everything but I get the concept now =).

My January goal is to loose 15 lbs by the end of the month! I am more then half the way there with this goal!! I am so stoked!

I was going through my 2010 pictures and came across this one(to the right) in my July 2010 folder. I look huge!!!!

I was reading another blog and she had put updated pictures of her, so I decided to do the same, I am going to put up updated pictures every 5 weeks. So with it being my 5th week, here is 5 weeks later, 10 lbs lighter =) (below)

Bringing in 2011!! Perfect!

 

Happpppy New Year Everyone. 

I can't believe its a new year. I don't know how anyone else feels but 2010 just flew by! I was able to bring in 2011 very nicely =) I unfortunately had to work but it was such a blast! I don't know many people that can say that they truly enjoy there job! Mine ROCKS! sometimes it has its downers because of the slow season but it really can be a blast.

This picture was me on new years eve! Bringing in 2011!

 

Here is a picture of me and my best friend(who i also work with in the same department). This was right before we headed to work. 

This last picture here is a picture of my amazing boyfriend<3

He has been so support with my weight loss! (this also was before I headed to work)

 Now that the new year has started and life is going great. I have a lot of goals to accomplish this year! One and most of you know is my weight. Today is my 5th Thursday(so my 5th week) of doing weight watchers on my own. When I stepped onto my scale this morning, I wasn't expecting much change, with having a terrible sleep schedule right now I haven't been able to wake up early enough for much exercise. Today I was able to wake up and take miss ellie mae for a walk around the block before we took her to her vet appointment.

For the first time I don't think I have been so excited to weigh my self before. On my 5th week I have officially lost 11 lbs!!! I am right on track! That is 2.2 lbs a week so far, and on weight watchers that is was your suppose to loose an average for the week. 

5 Weeks ago when I weight myself I was 225.5 and today I weight myself in at 214.5 YAHOOO! 

I thought I would share a few things that have really helped me along these past few weeks with starting my lifestyle change. As most know, a girl cant really go without her chocolate and ice cream, so well I found my new favorite chocolate item that I looooove. Skinny Cow Chocolate Truffle ice cream bars! yum! These delicious bars are only 2 points per bar!!!

The next two items that I have recently always have on me, is my weight watchers calculator, it helps me track how many points that I eat, it comes in handy.  And my water bottle with a straw, I noticed for me I drink so much more water with the straw then drinking it normal. 

Well I think I am going to sign off for now, tomorrow I have a full day of pedicures, lunch and shopping with my bestie for her birthday! Ill post pictures tomorrow of our cute toes! 

I hope everyone has a great start to the new year! Live each day like its the last!!!

 

 

Holiday Parties

Hello bloggers =)


I haven't blogged in a few weeks, but when you hear how many Holiday parties I have attended. Lets see here figuring it all out. I have gone to four Christmas partys in the past week, and have 3 more to attend before the 28th of this month. But I am proud to say that even with all the Christmas parties I was able to loose one pound:) not much but like my boyfriend said "One pound at a time" *sigh* I love him! 

Well I am going to cut this blog a short one, ill update after Christmas. 
So I want to wish everyone a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS oh and if I dont say it before then, and A very HAPPY New Year!! 

P.S Pictures are from our "Christmas Eve Party"

Not Just Feeling It, Seeing It.

Not only am I seeing the weight loss on the scale but I am starting to feel the impact that my life style change is making! I am happier, feeling better, dont feel as bloated and my pants are fitting me much better :).

Today was the only day so far sense I have started this that I haven't done some kind of workout activity. Tomorrow me and misty are going dancing and that is a really good workout!

I am really grateful for my boss at work, she actually attends weight watcher meetings and she is getting the weight watcher starter kit for me:):) It comes with a book for when you go out to eat and how many points everything is. a calculator to figure out how many points a food product is and a 3 month journal to track my progress:):) cant wait to receive it!

Other news, I had a great conversation with an old friend this morning on the phone. We have planned a girls weekend right before new years eve:) I am super excited. I sure do miss her.

I keep seeing the commercial for "dance" for the wii, i really want it! It looks like it would be really fun for working out with at home on raining days :)

Ellie is 5 months old today!!! Our baby puppy is getting so big:)

I have 5 Christmas partys to attend in the next few weeks<3 I love the holidays! I will be sad when it all ends! 

I sent out my Christmas Cards yesterday so the close family and friends should be receiving theirs shortly:)

Week 1 Complete!

So:)

Week one is complete! I just weighed myself and I have lost 4.5 lbs my first week on doing weight watchers. Yey! I was really discouraged at the beginning of the week that it wasn't going to work, but it did! I better not get that use to it because I wont loose that much every week, anywhere from 1-2 lbs a week is what I will loose, but it will add up :)

thanks for everyone who is following my blog and going through this life style change with me!
Anyone can do it :)
