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!
