New Years Eve Goal!

Ok so we have 8 weeks until New Years Eve! I don't do well with HUGE goals, too much pressure. I don't dig! So...here's my goal before goin' out to celebrate New Years Eve...


I want to lose 8 lbs!!! 


That is reasonable, 1 lb a week. Actually it is slacker standards BUT I haven't lost a "pound" since May. So this would actually be huge for me to see MOVEMENT!!!


I have no idea what I weigh right now, I don't do it regularly...so I'll have to check it out in the morning!


...edited: weight now 212
(Been between 212 and 207 since May, which was also when I got my LAST fill!)


Once I do MY official weigh in, I will try to report to you guys weekly. I've never been a fan to the weekly weigh-in thing, again, I guess too much pressure. 


P.S. I really need to figure out when to fix exercise into my new life. Working 8 hr days again plus a 45 min commute each way, allllll boy stuff in the evenings...I need to find somewhere to squeeze it in. BUT I'm not going to stress over it for the first week or two. My priority now is letting my body and myself adjust to not being home all day...make sure my boys adjust well...then I'll worry about fitting something else in. In fact, I don't even know when I'll get to see Lloyd for sure. We always did Tue, Thur, and Fri or Sun. so we got 3 nights a week together at his house or going out. Tue and Thur are the nights I'm at school until 10pm. NOW I don't think I can handle leaving school (after working all day) hanging out at his house until 1-3am and then dragging ass home to "nap" and head into work again. I dunno. Him and I have discussed it and we love spending time together so we'll figure out a way to make it "feel right" with my lil life change-ups! 


xoxo,
Libby

    Communtes always make it hard to fit in exercise. I used to walk during my lunch break during many of my diet phases, that might be an option for you.

    That's a great goal-- mine is too high (13 lbs) and based on the way things have been going, I'm not going to do it. But 8 would be good. Go you!

    This is totally do-able!!! You should try some circuit training!! I just bought an awesome DVD if your interested I blogged about it a few days ago. Combine that with a little cardio and keeping your food in check you will loose 8lbs no problem!!! My goal is 13lbs around christmas/new years....maybe a little unreasonable?? I'm not sure!

    You can do it!!

    Why don't you guys pick a race and train for it together? That way you can exercise and see your man!

    Finding time to go to the gym can be challenging. We just had the time fall back here so it gets darker, earlier - and that makes it harder in itself because you leave work. work out. bam! it's dark. Plus, working FT and having busy weekends, it makes it hard to commit. I think your goal is easily obtainable and so I wish you much luck!

    I think The Best of Me has a great idea of you and Lloyd working out together. My hubby and I did that for a period of time (unfortunately not now) and it was great.

    I want to be 40 down by the New Year, which is only 6 more lbs. I know that's a low goal, but I'm going on a 9 day cruise and I'm being realistic that even with the band I will be eating more than usual and then the holidays come and I will be eating more than usual. Honestly if I can get through a cruise and the holidays with a loss, that will be the first time in - well EVER - that I pulled that off.

Apparently...a grain is a grain and any grain...is a piece of shit!?!

So I recently joined a Facebook page for Weight loss Surgery peeps and this has brought back this whole idea...or reminder that...Oh yeah, I hate weight loss surgery! Lol! So I had to drudge up my old before pictures, re-calculate the weight I've lost, inches lost and just all those wonderful memories come rushing back. Honestly, other than getting stuck on certain foods, occasionally eating too fast, my band horribly too tight in the humidity when I travel back to Arkansas...I tend to live my life like there is no band. It stops me from eating too much, that is my way of life now and I just don't think about it very often. But so in joining that Facebook page there were a handful of chics I vaguely know on Facebook as locals in my town (who I've never or only once met in real life) who were on that page. I never knew they had a WL surgery! That's so neat! So then tonight I was Fb chatting with one of them and she was telling me how she had gastric bypass in 2008 and ...

Woah...dude...it has been FOR-EV-ER!!!

Well here I am, once again starring at a computer screen to share my life or a story with an audience I cannot touch or see. I came to this blog because I am trying to get into my writing professionally part-time to follow this huge passion of mine and in doing so I had to find and share the links to a blog I "used" to write on. In coming back here and exploring a bit I feel great nostalgia for the blogging community that helped me become who I am, helped me lose weight, helped me face fears, changed the very person I am to my CORE so many years ago! Starting in 2009 and up to about 2013, this blog and this community was a giant part of my life. As life got busy, as it always does, the seasons changed and life took me away from this blog. Not to mention it was died to an AOL account that caused me to have to log out of ALL my gmail accounts just to login to Blogger so that was a pain in a butt so it slowly fell away. But here I am today, with a desire to update you on my li...

Let's get MENTAL!!!

...Lol, that makes me think "Let's get physical, physical, physical"!!! (emailed myself while at gym) There's this skinny chic at the gym I was watching run. Had to be 110-120 lbs. She ran a 13 min mile. I thought her tiny body could've gone much faster, my sister does!! (Go Jennypoo!) But she had super perfect form. Her arms and shoulders never faltered, go her! Seriously though, I think she was running on her tip toes, I'll have to try that. Hehe! THEN this hot, hot guy gets on a treadmill and sets it at 6.0 (!!) For his warm up! Damn it man!!!! Yes, I am a people watcher...keeps me entertained! :P (after gym) Running: So I couldn't run on my toes. Did my best to run my 1 mile (to check my speed) and I did it in 14.2 minutes. Not awful, but I did struggle. Maybe the leg soreness… Cycling: Then I did 6.3 miles cycling and I swear I thought I was gonna die!!! (Half way thru!) But I had a glorious finish with an average of 4.7 min/mile, hooty...
