I gained!

I have gained TWO freaking pounds since yesterday WTF? I'm trying really hard not to get down on myself but geez 2 freaking pounds in one day? That should be unheard of. I have been watching The Biggest Loser lately. I'm up to season 6 right now and my god what those people have to do to lose the weight is insane and I'm just not sure I have that in me :( But I know that the work will be worth it in the end. I just lack the severe motivation to do it. I've just got to keep pushing myself and pushing myself and when I want to quit I have to push even harder. Unfortunately I don't have Bob or Jillian breathing down my neck, I just have me and my 2 beautiful boys that I want to see grow into 2 beautiful successful men. I'm determined to lose this weight! 50 pounds to go, but my first goal is to hit 210, we will go on from there. Until tomorrow then.........

Day 1 on phase 2

Day one of phase 2 is going great so far! Woke up this morning had some wonderfully tasty peanut butter oatmeal that actually didn't taste too bad. I was expecting it to taste kinda bland. But it wasn't bad at all. Still 211 and I started to get a little down on myself this morning but then I stopped myself and though, " well my god you just lost 9 freaking pounds the last 2 weeks, of course you haven't lost anymore yet." It's nice to know that I can talk myself down from being depressed. It's taken a lot to get me there. anyways short posting today gotta get a strength training session in.  

South Beach

I have successfully finished phase 1 of the south beach diet!!! After 2 long weeks of having no fruit, sugar, carbs, etc. I can now eat oatmeal, fruit, and whole grains! I have to admit I'm a little worried about it though. I don't want to go back to the same crap as before weighing 220 and feeling sluggish all the time. I'm now 211 and I have 50 pounds to go! but those 9 pounds have come off in TWO weeks, now I don't mind if I lose a pound or two a week as long as I keep losing. I can't wait for the day when I can step on the scale and it says 190, 180, 170, 160! I have seen the light so to speak on healthy eating and I love it! God grant me the strength to continue on this journey to a healthy body!!!
