Syd's wedding!!!!

Okay, so I'm ready to loose a few lbs. before Syd's big day! Who's with me?? :)

one week weigh-in

This morning I weighed in at 144.4
Almost 2 pounds less.
I for sure would have been kicked off Biggest Loser right away!
But, hey! It's a start! :)

uh-oh!

I've gained 5 pounds since I left for California! Time to get back on the healthy wagon!

My Goals..

Okay, I'll have to weigh myself and do my BMI stuff tomorrow. I've been working on slimming down for that wedding I was in last weekend, so I'm feeling all motivated right now (even though I pigged out in California and have pigged out today too)....anyway, I have some big goals for this body! I want to get rid of my stomach pouch and I'd love to see definition in my arms. I'd love to loose some weight in my cheeks too (is that possible!?). So the big number I'm going to be working on are my measurements! Arms and belly! I'll post numbers tomorrow :) Thanks for the challenge Lynda! Can't wait to see some new recipes. P.S. My "go to recipe" if I'm wanting to slim down is Frito Soup (no chips, cheese or sour cream).

Favorite new blog

Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes

It has lot's of yummy looking recipes. I want to try the hole in one eggs in an onion. I don't do WW's but, I know that these are good healthy recipes. If you make any of them let me know! It also has some good links to other healthy places.

p.s. Mom, I know that you have some good ones. Can you post your recipes?

This is me.

(with a little more cheeks, chins, and chubs than wanted! not for long!!!)

I am starting a healthier lifestyle. Which for me equals eating less and better, and also moving more. Hopefully along with becoming healthier, stronger, and having more energy, I will also get in better shape physically. As of this morning these are my stats:
height: 5'2"
weight: 146.0
BMI: 26.88
I know that my height isn't going to change. (Unfortunately! It is hard to stand next to my 12 year old daughter and feel squatty!) But the other two are definitely going to be dropping. A healthy BMI is between 18 and 25. Over 25 is considered overweight. Mine is 26.88 which means..... I am overweight. A healthy weight for my height would be between 109 and 137. My goal is to get down to 125.
I am excited to be doing this with Craig! I think it will be much easier for me to have someone in the house going through the same thing. Also, I think this blog will help me too, since I will have to be accountable somewhere. :) I am going to use it to keep track of progress. A place to share any helpful hints or recipes. And just as a motivator to all of us.
