I finally got down to my 10 pound mark yesterday, but of course I was up by a pound and a half today. So, it was back out walking today after a rest weekend. We finally got some good and healthy groceries in the house, so I'm back to eating better after 2 weeks of eating on a tight budget (mac-n-cheese, hot dogs, etc.). I'm now working toward losing another 10 pounds which will put me at 177 lbs! Woo hoo! Maybe, just maybe I can be looking and feeling a whole lot better by next summer! Here's what I look like as of yesterday. I want my face to thin out a bit still and I want to lose my double chin thingy or as my mom calls hers... a "gobbler"

Busy, busy, busy!

This past weekend and up until today have been pretty busy. I'm suprised with all of the pizza and other crap that I have been eating that I was still able to stay at 189 lbs! I'm super excited about it! Hopefully I can keep it up!!


When I lose 10 lbs., I get a reward! A new and more accurate pedometer! I want the Omron HJ720. It hooks up to your computer so that you can graph your progress with the software that is included. It has ALOT of good reviews and it is only like $31 bucks on Amazon.com. I have almost reached my goal! I have lost a total of 8 lbs. now! 2 more pounds and I get this cool pedometer!

There were many reasons why, but the main reason was because I had gained so much weight that I couldn't get my rings off anymore! I had to get them cut off! :( I can get them repaired, but I want to wait until I am at the weight I want to be at before I get them re-sized.

Other reasons were the basics... I was insecure, none of my clothes fit, I was out of breath all of the time, and I knew that I wasn't at all healthy.

Here's to looking good and feeling a little more better each and everyday!

Today I think that I am going to have a "spa day". No, I'm not going to the spa... I wish. NO MONEY! But, I'm going to give myself a manicure and pedicure and that kind of stuff. It should be nice if I can keep my kids out of my hair today.

About Me

My photo
My name is Amanda. I am married with two children (a 2 year old and a 7 year old). I live in a small town in Kentucky, but I haven't lived here forever. I am originally from Memphis, Tennessee and before that I was born in Brandon, Florida. I am a stay at home mother and I go to a holistic health college online. I am about to start another school soon. I will be studying to be a medical transcriptionist. My husband and I co-own a business with his father. We rent out party supplies and games and we also go to festivals all around Kentucky and set up game booths for children. That's pretty much my life in a nutshell!

About this blog...

This blog is geared to help me keep track of my weight loss and to help motivate me to stay on the right track. The idea is for me to lose 60-70 lbs. I know that I can do this safely and naturally. It's going to take some time and effort, but in the end, the rewards will be a healthy body, confidence, and a piece of mind. I hope that people will read my blog and be inspired to get started with their own weight loss endeavors.

This is me at 135 lbs before I got pregnant with my daughter 3 years ago.

This is me now at 193 lbs. I'm ready to look like I did in the first picture again!
