Weight Loss Confessions

Well, I must confess that I have not lost any weight, since I joined back to Gold's Gym . When I signed up for a membership I thought that I would lose all my weight immediately. ( Click here for post on joining the gym

Well, that didn't happen..what did was my weight gain..Now let me explain...

 Right after, I made my weight loss goal we had a lot of commitments that involved good food and wine. Like my father-in-law's wedding weekend and going to the beach with my parents. So, I gained a little weight both those weeks.  However, now it is time to get serious..
Rocky always motivates me :)
For one week, I have been to the gym 3 times and have walked Lilly twice. I have decided to  completely change my program. Will and I are now going to be on the Weight Watcher Points diet. I did this diet while in college and lost about 15 pounds , so I decided to try it again. I even bought the books to track my points and a weight watcher cookbook. So, I should be losing it in no time :)


Complete 2012 Weight Watcher Essential Books

I hoping this cookbook makes me forget I am on  a diet :/

 The main reason I really like this diet is because you can still eat what you want,
and eat out. Everything is about portion control. It really does amaze me how many points are in my favorite foods,such as Krispy Kreme glaze doughnuts which has
25 points. Well I am only allowed 30,so I don't think it would be wise to eat one!
This sign is my enemy!

Currently, we have 25 days until Will and I are in Clearwater, Florida with Will's company. So the

My Personal Weight Loss Challenge

Well, it has come to this... I have had to join a gym to lose the remainder of my "baby" weight.

Love this!
I have tried the last 5 months to lose weight on my own, but that is just not cutting it. I need more exercise than what I am currently getting to lose it all. During my pregnancy, I gained a total of 30 pounds. I have lost 20 pounds but still need to lose the last 10. For some reason, that last 20 came off  without any effort on my part unless that means eating a cheese-steak, Chick-Fil-A, pizza, and enjoying some sort of alcoholic beverage with dinner.  However, I do walk our Lab every night which is quite a workout but just not enough for me to lose the weight. So, I decided to go and join a Gym.. Gold's Gym..and I love it!
I work out!

 I used to be a member of this gym before we had Lilly. Once, we got her I decided to drop our membership so I could come home from work and walk her. Now that our lives have changed I decided to rejoin. The main factor was that they have a childcare program for when you are working out. The great thing is that one of the girls watching the children is one of my past students who I would recommend to anyone. So, it is a win - win for both Harper and I.

Harper loves watching all the kids
So far , I have worked out at least 4 days a week, since we joined whhich was last week :)... I have also continued to walk Lilly in the evening so that she continues to get her exercise. So, hopefully I am on my way to major weight loss.. We will see!!! I will be sure to keep you updated with my progress..

This is seriously how I feel about my own weight loss :)
