Wow time is passing fast. I'm still trying to maintain and choosing "Healthy".
Time is passing by for me because we started on house renovations and this is consuming a lot of my energy - mentally and physically; plus to top it off the kids' school year has also begun which means the running around stuff has started-up again. I am going to try to stay stable - which means not run around like a chicken with its head cut-off (pardon the expression) - but try to keep a more relax, calm paced environment.

This is where my lifestyle change needs to be re-evaluated. I've signed-up my daughter and I to some Salsa Aerobics classes which begins in about 2 weeks. It's only (1) night a week, but at least it's something! I'm hoping it'll be fun and will help with my toning-up requirements. I don't want to loose anymore weight - where I'm at, I would never have dreamed of being - so I'm good!! I'd like to do some toning to my body so that I'm a little firmer then what I have now... (wink wink)

Summer had gone by so quickly - our month of July was very wet which caused a very dull July. August was somewhat (a little) better however our nice weather has just joined us the last week of August and first week of September... however also joining us have been very cooler mornings and evenings - so we're just enjoying nice afternoons, in which most of us are at work... inside a building!! But ... on the positive side... it's all good!

Here is an updated Before and After picture of me... with 60lbs gone!



Remember - Choose Healthy!

Week 41 - Weight Watchers

Week 38's weigh-in was: +0.8 lbs.
Week 39's weigh-in was: -1.8 lbs.
Week 40's weigh-in was: +0.2 lbs.
Week 41s weigh-in was: -1.4 lbs.
My new weight loss total: - 58 lbs.

Well as I mentioned before - I've made it. I'm there. I'm within my BMI range!
Wow, me - Tammy - I can't believe I've made it.

I was always the one saying to others, "Ya right, like who could ever be within that range?! Only people born skinny and/or if they come from a skinny family could they live within a BMI range! No 'real' person can live that way!" ... I'm biting my words now!

I feel healthier! Everything I do is affected by my weight loss. I'm able to do more. I have more motivation to do things. Hey I've been biking for the last few weeks and really am enjoying it!!

I'm not saying that I'm 'cured' - because this lifestyle is a choice it's not like taking a pill and just forgetting about not having to worry. I am my own pill - I am my control. I can't blame anyone else but me when I "forget" - cause I don't forget, I choose not to "choose".
I live in my own 'battle' and right now I'm enjoying 'my control'.

I'm choosing to stay healthy - not by "need", not by "have to", not by anything else but by my "choice".

Until next time, choose to live healthy!

Week 37 - Weight Watchers

Week 34's weigh-in was: -2.6 lbs.
Week 35's weigh-in was: -0.8 lbs.
Week 36's weigh-in was: +0.4 lbs.
Week 37's weigh-in was: -1.6 lbs.
My new weight loss total: - 56.2 lbs.

Well I'm there!
I've reached my "Healthy Weight Range" / "Ultimate Weight Goal"!
The Weight Ranges are based on Body Mass Index, or BMI.My height is 1.65 m (5'5") which puts me a BMI range of 120lbs. (minimum) to 150lbs. (maximum).

I am now working on maintaining my weight within this range - for life!
I'm not officially a "LifeTime Member" yet since I have to be in a 'maintenance' phase for a period of 6 weeks (as a paid member).

One step at a time, one day at a time.
I'm in for the long run!

Until next time, choose Healthy!

Before and After

Week 33 - Weight Watchers

Week 28's weigh-in was: +0.4 lbs.

Week 29's weigh-in was: -2.2 lbs.

Week 30's weigh-in was: -1.2 lbs.

Week 31's weigh-in was: -1.6 lbs.

I've started my 3rd Weight Watchers session on week 30.
I received my 50lbs. medal last week (Week 32) ~ wow I can't believe I've lost that much!

I've been trying to keep things easier for myself but finding it harder.
There are times where I'm not "watching" what I'm eating as much and not marking my points down as frequently as I used to. This is a habit I need to get out of!
I feel the weight loss all over. I now need to concentrate on toning up!

Summer is fast approaching and I'm going to have to walk a lot more then what I'm doing now.

One day at a time - one meal at a time.
It's not easy ~ Temptation is everywhere and it's sooooo easy to just keep saying, "Just this one time", or "Just a little piece...".

I have to keep surrounding myself with positive influences and thank goodness my family and friends are supportive of my decisions and not making things harder for nothing.

Until next time, choose healthy!

Week 27 - Weight Watchers

So sorry I haven't updated things lately...



So here's the scoop, I did some re-calculations on my weight numbers cause things weren't adding up correctly. The Weight Watchers representative in the back room entering the numbers in my log book, obviously miss calculated some of the calculations.

My weigh-in pounds are acurate since I saw those numbers but it was more of the deducations calculations that she wrote down that were miss read.



Anyways... from my last post, I had mentioned that my total weight loss was -39.4 lbs which in fact it was -40.4 lbs. Not a huge difference so that's why I'm just going to leave it as that and move on...



Week 25's weigh-in was: -2.2 lbs.

Week 26's weigh-in was: -2.4 lbs.

Week 27's weigh-in was: -1.2 lbs.

My new weight loss total: - 46.4 lbs.



I can't believe I've lost that much already!!

...ah no I haven't formally started any new exercises...

I am one to talk!!... I'm just doing the same things...



I try to make efforts in "little" things like -

Sometimes I'll go down 2 flights of stairs at work to go to the washroom.

I try to walk alittle faster for my work-break walks.

...just little things... but I am going to have to start something!!



Otherwise all is well - I am noticing that I'm patterning what I eat when I'm rushing.

Example - I know how many points certain things are so if I need more time to get ready -

I grab and go with the foods I "know".

I will need to start menu shopping again to gain something new... variety.



I just signed up for my third session - so that should get me through till this summer.

I'll need it since I've got a bunch of weddings to attend... not standing in any, which is nice!



So until next time - choose healthy!

Week 25 - Weight Watchers

Well here's my update for the last two weeks:

Week 23's weigh-in was: -0.8 lbs.
Week 24's weigh-in was: -1.6 lbs.
My new weight loss total: - 39.4 lbs.

Week 25's weigh-in is null since there isn't a session this week due to March Break (Spring Break).

Wow it's been already two week since I last updated my blog - that means it's been two weeks of procrastinating! I haven't done anything new! I'm still doing the same old - same old.
Wow it's pretty amazing to see time flash in front of you and realize that things are always easier said then done. I'm always one to give advice... I now have to start actually listening to myself.

But Tammy it's too cold outside...
But Tammy I'm too tired...
But Tammy...

There are always going to be excuses and things to allow me to keep putting things off!
Stop it! and Do it!
Ok... I'm gonna try... again!

Until next time, live healthy!
