Week 24

I know I skipped week 23. For a reason. I didn't lose any weight which depressed me a lot. I'm not sure of it is the gym and I am gaining muscle or I have been stress eating. Either way, I finally lost a little this past week. I now weight 226 lbs but it's still not fast enough.

The wedding is 3 months away and I need to fit into that dress!!! Stress overload at this point. Just pray that I can make it to at least 210 for the wedding! :)

Week 22!!

Well I am now 226.8 lbs! That is a total of 38.2 lbs!

I bought my bridal shower dress which is gorgeous. I actually bought 2 online in different sizes because I could not try it on. Hopefully I can wear the smller one!

Still dying to put on my wedding dress but I am staying clear. I have so much to do and such little daylight to do it in. I haven't slept more than 6 hours in a very long time. I just want to sleep all day without having to wake up for something.

Anyways, I hoping the nocturnal shift gets more appealing now that my friend Bethany has started working with me!! I love the shift and the patients, I just hate the hours because I am not home with Ryan and Nea in the evening and I am always tired!! Grown-up problems........

I hope you all had a great weekend since I am writing this late. You guys keep me going!

Weeks 20 and 21!!

Oh wow! Again I missed a week posting and updating you guys on my weight loss. It has been crazy and hectic in the Campbell-Thibodaux world between Nea's softball, work, wedding planning, and different events we made commitments to. But now I am wide awake on my night off and it is about time I brought you guys in on a few updates!

First off, my weight last week was 228.2 lbs which was a big moment because I am finally in the 220s! This week I am 227.8 lbs which is a grand total of 37.2 lbs of weight loss! Exciting!

We have been going to the gym regularly and have been doing sessions of Body Motion. A trainer sat with us and showed us how to use different weight machines and put the appropriate weight on each for us. Ryan and I both agree that we are actually excited to go to the gym now because these sessions are fun and we can really feel the burn! Ryan is losing weight really fast and I am a little jealous because mine has slowed down a bit. I admit I have had plenty of cheat days but you can't diet at weddings and parties! That's a mortal sin in my book!

Anyway, I have noticed that the fat pockets that sit right by the arm pit (ladies, I know you can relate) have gotten smaller and so have my arms. My arms and my gut are the biggest problems I have especially when it comes to my wedding dress. On that note, I find myself having to strap myself to a chair just so I don't go and put on my dress at least 3 times a week!

I sure do hope that I can stick to my diet these last few months. Baby showers, parties and the holidays just may be the death of me! But what I have learned about myself the most is that I have poor self control. That is something I need to work on, but I am confident I can get that under control!

Until next time!

Week 19!

So it is about 4 months until my wedding and it is crunch time! My current weight is 229.8 lbs and I really have just stopped losing for the most part. We have been going to the gym so I am hoping that that will help out with the weightloss as well.

Like I told the trainer during our "free session", if I stay this weight that would be fine. I just want to tone up!!

Fingers crossed for better numbers next week!!

Week 18!

Well it looks like I will have to start doing more in my weight loss because I have noticed the amount of weight I am losing is declining every week. My current weight is 230.2 lbs. I am still losing which is great but I don't care for how much I am losing compared to a few moths ago.

To fix this problem, and in order to get healthy, Ryan, Nea, and I have joined a gym! It is great because they have so many activities for Nea so she isn't just sitting in day care. I was hoping to start going today, but Ryan has Nea's temporary card so I will just go alone tomorrow.

I am mostly excited about how my wedding dress will look on me once I have toned up everything. Even if I look great only on my wedding day, I am okay with that. Those who have followed my blog since day one know that looking good is not what this journey is about. Everyone knows I want to lose the weight just so I can gain some back for nine months! :)

I hope everyone is having a great week and will have a great weekend. Sorry I have been so short on my last few posts. I have literally been posting from my phone in between doing things. God bless!

Week 16 and 17

Sorry I have been MIA for a while. Every time I tried to log in, I would get kicked out. Now that I  am back, I can tell you I didn't not lose any weight the first week and now I am 231 lbs today. That first week was a really rough week to be a woman for me (if you catchy drift). But I have bounced back and I'm looking forward to the 220s!

I finally received my wedding dress and I am using that as my motivation. I did buy a smaller size after all! :)

Hope everyone has an amazing weekend!

Week 14... Going great!

Well my weight this week is 232.6 lbs which is a total of 32.4 lbs. this is super exciting! I'm hoping I reach the 220s by next week! We shall see!

I bought my wedding dress Saturday and I am absolutely excited about losing more weight and looking amazing in my dress!!

I hope everyone had a great time going back to school whether it was you or your kids!
