Back from Vegas.....

Just spent the weekend in Las Vegas with family and friends. Had an amazing time of course met new people and ate a lot. yes I did eat a whole lot of not so good food. I also had my alcohol consumptions. Even thought I behaved badly in the well know "sin city", I did not regret my faults. Now its time to focus again and its time to work harder. Like I said prior to leaving for my mini vacation, once I return I will set mini goals each week to attain in hope that my weight loss will be a success. I will go back to eating healthy food and make better choices. My goal for this week is to lose 3-5 lbs. I can do this. I will workout 4-6 times a week. To update, I weigh in this morning and I am at 209.4 lbs. I gained a couple of pounds and now its time to lose more......I CAN DO IT!!

8 down 2 more to go!

I'm almost there. For my Vegas trip coming up in the end of this week, I have made a goal to lose 10 pounds. I ate healthy, I worked out, and I made better choices for myself. As a result, I have lost 8 pounds so far. I have 4 days to work on the extra 2 pounds and I know that I can do it. This is just the beginning of my journey. Now that I have regained my confidence and motivation, I will keep looking forward in hope to reach my long term goal of losing 80 pounds. I know that along the way I will come across obstacles that may potentially slow me down. But I will be prepared to tackle those obstacles with an open and strong mind. I have in the past allowed to let myself to lose control once I hit a bump in the road. As a result, I gained back all the weight I have lost with extra baggage and my emotions would play bad mind tricks making me think the "what ifs??".

My plan for the weeks coming up is to set a mini goal each week for me to attain. I will continue doing what I am currently doing because I know it works. I will workout harder and plan out my meals to avoid settling for the unhealthy when I'm cramp with time. But for now, I will rejoice with my victory and hope that my progress will continue. People may say when I go to Vegas I will gain my weight back. I thought of that I am prepared to gain a few pounds back but you know what? I don't care. For now I will enjoy myself on my trip and when i return home, I will work harder to lose those pounds. How often do I go for a trip? not very often therefore I will have a reason to celebrate at Vegas.

Update: As of today I am currently at 208.6 lbs.



New picture of me same top same pants: can you see the difference?

A little lost goes a long way....

Today, I will update. What have I been up to lately? Nothing much really I have been behaving really well as far as eating healthy. I consume a lot of fruits and vegetables. I cut back on my starch/sweets and I have been drinking a whole lot of water and green tea. However, I have been lazy when it comes to working out. But today was a different story. I went to the gym and hit the treadmill and weights. I forgotten how well it feels post a good workout. But enough about that. I weigh in this morning before breakfast and I checked in at 211.4 pounds. Its a small weight loss considering I have not workout until today but I am ecstatic. This small amount of weight loss gives me the motivation to keep going. So that is exactly what I will be doing keep losing because this little loss will take me closer to my goal weight by believing and having faith in myself. I still have my Vegas trip in mind and If I could not attain to the goal of losing 10lbs by April 16, then I will be happy with whatever weight loss I will accomplish.
