FML

Currently sitting in ER hooked up to a heart monitor, because my blood pressure is high. Damn pills aren't working or something is wrong. I got dizzy at skating, then things went down hill. It is currently 2am and I haven't slept yet. I felt horrible for waking Ty and Jaidyn up to take me to the hospital, but I really had to go.

Hopefully I'll have answers soon.

In other news, Monday's WI brought me to a total loss of 10 lbs even! I was so happy I did a dance on the scale. That is 10 lbs in 3 weeks! Off to a good start with 17 lbs to go before the wedding.

Anyways, going to try and get some sleep. :(

2nd weigh in!!

I updated the wrong blog with my weigh in information. So here it is from Monday.

Week 2 brings me down another 3 lbs this week for a total of -7.2 in 2 weeks. I know that's fast, but I'm eating all my daily points and using some of my weekly points too. I'm aiming for a loss of about 1-1.5 per week from now on. I'm so excited to try on my wedding dress again. Its going to look amazing!

Last night I made 2 weight watcher recipes. One was mini cream cheese cookie bites (yum!) And baked stuffed apples (double yum!) I'm excited to try more recipes! :)

Here is my ticker to keep track of how much to go. It's getting exciting!

First Weigh In

This morning was my first weight watchers weigh in. Drum roll please....

Last Monday 172lbs
Today... 167.8lbs!!
A loss of 4.2lbs!!!

I know the first week you loose the most, but it feels so fricken good to see that number on the scale. I was expecting a higher number after yesterday, but apparently I was better than I thought.

I have an easier time sticked to the program when I'm at home than work. At work I seem to be on a timer as to when I need to eat and whatnot. I will overcome this. :)

Oh and New Moon is the best movie ever!!!

Health issues

I hate them. I really hate them. Yesterday and today I've been having chest pain. I've been for bloodwork and an ECG. Getting the results on Tuesday. I guess I'm being forced to relax this weekend.

In better news, Weight Watchers seems to be on my side. Since Monday I've lost 2.4 lbs. I know you aren't supposed to weigh yourself everyday, but it works for me as inspiration. I can't wait for my weigh in on Monday. I'm hoping for a 3lb loss. :)

I had a good day yesterday. I stayed on program with WW and got lots of exercise. I worked hard at skating too. We worked with Victor Kraatz at synchro last night. He is really great and we are all learning a lot.

Today I am aiming for another on program day and a walk with Jaidyn, weather depending. We may be going for a run in the mall instead.

Weight Watchers

I started weight watchetrs again yesterday. It worked before it will work again. As of day 2 I am still on program. My biggest challenge will be snacking at night and being around Ty and his junk food and food in the house. Another challenge will be when I make cakes... I've got 2 to make this weekend. Should be a challenge. But I'm looking forward to overcoming it. =D

Elipticals are brutal

30 mins at the gym this morning. I switched things up and did the eliptical for 30 mins. Brutal. 317 cals burned. I have this problem when I work out where I can't hold back. I have to go all out. I hurt... a bit. It's all good. It's a good hurt. So tired. Poor legs. Ugh...

I've been really good this week food wise and exercise wise. Every morning since Tuesday at the gym for a 30 min cardio workout. I have 2 more workouts to do this week. My legs are complaining, but I'm not listening. If I listened, I wouldn't go to the gym, and I need to go. I feel good about myself and the way I'm starting to look. I just have to figure out how to work my top half without doing too much ab work. Should be fun.

Perfect day

Up at 5am, at the gym for 5:30, 30 mins on the bike 232 cals burned according to the bike, and another 3 hours of skating tonight. I'll have all my exercise points today. Working on my water too. Today will be a perfect day.

Time to get my ass in gear and get things going. I wanted to be under 160 at the end of this BLC. I don't think it's going to happen, but I'm kicking things up at the gym, cardio wise aiming for 5 days a week, and I'm going to watch my food a bit better and see what happens. Today's weigh in was 166 lbs.

Jeans

I can't remember the last time I wore jeans. Today I decided I would try on thr jeans I had in my closest. I pulled them on and they fit! I was so happy. They were a little snug at first, but fit great all day. I've been avoiding jeans because of the way they feel. I usually hate that tight feeling, but because they fit, they felt awesome. I'm back in size 12 jeans! Woooo!!!
Also, I bought new yoga pants earlier this week. I never try stuff on at the store because Jaidyn isn't patient. I bought a large, tried them on at home and they were too big! So today I returned them for a medium which fit too! I'm one happy girl!!! They are a little snug, but they fit. So happy!!!!

Time to get healthy

This is my new blog to keep track of things while I start making healither choices and habits.

I wanted a place just for me to keep track of daily thoughts, articles I find and my journey to a healthier new me.

I have many reasons for getting myself healthy. One is my son. I want to have healthy habits for him to follow because he is starting to do everything Ty and I do. While its cute, he is picking up bad habits (like chewing his nails... bad daddy!). The second reason is because I want to look gorgeous on my wedding day and before I get pregnant after the wedding.

This is mainly just for me, but for those reading my blog, enjoy.
