I'm not sure where the rest of Spring and Summer went. I must have lost them amongst the chaos.
I am down to 257 pound! That's great for me! My heaviest was 275!! I stopped buying soda for the house! I think that has helped a lot. I will get a soda if we go to the restaurants, but at least I'm not drinking them at home anymore. I have cheated the last couple of days and gone down to Ricker's. I need to stop doing that!
I've been doing okay with walking and riding my bike with the kids. I need more motivation every day. I wish I had someone to make me do it. I want to loose wait, I need to loose weight. BUT I can now ride the bike a mile without feeling like death walking! That's something, right? Yesterday the kids and I "speed" (as fast as you can go when kids are wearing down) walked around Shadyside. We did 1 and 1/2 mile, which is great! I felt so good.
I wish we lived closer to a nice park, maybe I'd walk it everyday.
Keep me in your prayers! I want to change my body for my own health. I need to be here for my kids and my husband. I know they are happy with who I am but I'm not happy with what I weigh.
Starting weight: 275
Current weight: 257
Goal weight: 160 (hahahaha)
Amber, I wish you nothing but the best of luck. I know you have it in you to do anything you want to do. I remember you in class, and outside of school, you are a powerful woman, a great woman. So you will suceed in anything you choose. Soda is the nasty part of me as well. I one time cut soda out for 90 days (3 months) I lost 38.5 pounds! I drink it like it's water. That and sweet tea. Knock out refined surgars too (breads, pastas, juices, etc) you'll be surprised!
ReplyDeleteKeep me posted on your progress! Looking forward for the NEW and IMPROVED amaber!
Cheers!
