Kim's new and improved life journal!

:hug: WAY TO GO KIM!!!!! 121....you rock!!!! :banana:

:worship: You are at my goal weight! I need a Nancy!!!! Can I borrow her :idea: . LOL! You'd think with all my exercising I'd actually lose weight but I keep eating the stuff I shouldn't. Well, I'm not really that bad and maybe once my miles increase in running I'll drop the 3 or 4 pounds to get me to my goal. But you, my friend, are amazing! You had so much determination and your journal is so positive and inspiring! If you ever decide to run a 5K let me know :teeth: , I'll try to be there!!!! :sunny:

Thanks Amy. Are those run all year long, or are the more of a seasonal thing? Do you have a website I could go look at to see where the local runs are? That might help me decide when/if I'd be able to get there. I may very well be able to do one in the fall. I still don't see myself as a runner at all, especially now that I have only been doing the eliptical and haven't even attempted running since it got cold out. I'm hoping in the next few weeks, some time in March, I'll venture out again. I'm getting tired of staring at the same walls in the computer room while I do the eliptical!! :crazy:

hi Kim-
i feel like i havent talked to you in awhile haha..
Hope you had a good day today--after my 5.5 hours of homework, i watched almsot the entire first season of greys anatomy! it was awesome-did you watch any yet?
Hope you are having a great weekend, and enjoying babysitting..ill talk to you tomorrow or ntext week im sure!
 

Hey guys!

Today is home weigh-in day & I'm down 2.5 from last Monday. My home scale today said 122. Did I mention how TIRED I am of keeping 2 sets of "books"? Once I hit my goal & work on maintaining my weight, I will feel much better only having to worry about what I weigh at home. I was almost disappointed this morning when the scale said that b/c of the 121 I was on Nancy's scale on Thursday. But I did eat/drink pretty bad on Friday night, so I have no right to be disappointed! haha

I also only got in 20 minutes on the eliptical this morning. I cut myself off because I've been 5 - 10 minutes late for work every workout day in the past few weeks, and I'm sure I'm getting ready for a "talking to". So I thought I'd be better today. I thought I'd be able to wake up earlier, but that didn't happen....so I cut myself off. DD has gymnastics tonight, so I might try to do some exercise after that (around 7:30) to boost things up a bit. I'd love to start doing some ab workouts...so I'll see what's on Comcast On Demand tonight.

I don't think I've mentioned this here...but March is turning out to be quite a crazy/hectic month for me. DD's bday is on the 11th, we're having her kid party that day at our house (her choice, not mine ;) ) so I'm gearing up for that, then we'll also have the family over for cake one night that week. DD's birthday present from DH and I is a room makeover. She wants a "cool, big girl room", so I've been painting, and buying new accessories for her room...hopefully that'll get done before the 11th. Then we decided (me, my sis, my mom & my BIL) to throw my other sis a 30th birthday party on the 18th. I'm in charge of invitations and decorations. So I have to dig through old pictures and get some stuff together for that. She also wants me to make her a DVD of her pictures growing up (I did this recently for a friend that moved away). I'm not sure if that'll get done by the party, but maybe by her bday which is the 22nd. UGH!!

Sorry for the vent...feels good to get that out there. Just a busy month...I'll make it through!! haha

Oh, and one more thing (if you've made it this far) - my sister, who also goes to Nancy with me.....is doing AWESOME!! She's lost 35 pounds, and went from a size 22 to 16 so far. She went shopping in NY & Co & bought herself a jogging suit - I haven't seen her this happy in a LONG time. All hail to Nancy.... :worship: :teeth:
 
you and your sis are doing awesome!!! I bet you guys are very happy you started going to nancy--congrats on the weight loss--AGAIN!!!!!!

I bet Em is going to love her room,,,just about as much as you will love being done working on the room!
I know this is a busy busy month for you..and march isnt even here yet---some of us (haah) have spring break in 2 weeks :)
 
:hug: Way to go Kim! Keep up the good work....you are such an inspiration! :cool1:

As far as the 5K races....they are run throughout the warmer months. So there is always a run somewhere, especially near the Jersey Shore, from March through October! If you decide to train for one, let me know and we can find a race :teeth: .

Oh....and congrats to your sis too! That is so wonderful! How great that you two can share your journey together! :worship: You girls are awesome!!!

Morning!

I woke up early this morning, and was able to do 30 minutes on the eliptical and 100 crunches - and still got to work on time! :cool1:

Tomorrow is weigh in with Nancy. I'm shooting for at least a pound loss...that'll get me to 120, which is less than I've weighed in probably 9 years!

I'll check back in tomorrow to post how I did. WISH me luck! pixiedust:

i bet you are...119ish..im a psychic :)

Well, not quite 119!!! haha

I did lose 1 pound, and I'm now 120!!!! :woohoo:

I can finally say I weigh less than I did before kids, before marriage, before meeting DH, just about before my 20's!!! haha (I don't even remember when I was 120 or less :eek: )

Gotta dance ladies... :banana: :cheer2: :woohoo: :Pinkbounc :cool1: :hyper:

Thanks, I needed that!

(My sister lost 3.5 pounds....I can't even say how awesome she is doing!!!) :worship:
 
WOW...120...I'm jealous!! I haven't seen the 120's since high school!! (19 yrs ago! :eek:
Great job...keep up the good work!!

Thanks!

I gotta share this...and I hope it doesn't come off as bragging because that's not what I'm doing at all. But I have to share...

I went to Target at lunch today to get some more stuff for DD's room makeover. I figured I'd try on some jeans b/c the 8's that I used to wear like 3 or 4 years ago are actually too big now. So I figured I'd try on 6's. Well, I looked at the Mizrahi (sp?) jeans and they are odd numbered sized. I was like, DARN, I was hoping to get a 6 but now I'm gonna have to go with a 7 because there's no way I'm a 5.

I took 3 7's 3 6's (I found some Levis) and one pair of 5's just to check.

Can you believe that I could actually button the 5's? There was no muffin top action happening :rotfl2: . They were tight in the thighs, and not what I would call comfy - so I didn't get them. But holy crap...I just buttoned a size 5!!!

:woohoo:

I ended up with one pair of 7's and one pair of 6's. Ultimately I want to go back to the Gap & get a pair of Long & Leans, which are my absolute favorite kind of jeans. But I'm not spending $50+ on a pair of jeans until I've hit the weight that I'm happy with & am going to just maintain.

Again, I hope no one takes offense to this or thinks I'm a size snob. I was just excited. This journey has been more to me that trying to get into a certain size clothes...I really wanted to get off the extra weight that just didn't belong, and wanted to find a healthy me.
 
:cheer2: Wooo-Hoooo Kim....you SHOULD celebrate your successes. And we're celebrating with you! :woohoo:
 
That is super awesome and you SHOULD feel good and proud about it! Don't apologize for the good feelings from your HARD work!

Carrie
 
Size 5's! How awesome is that! I am shooting for a 6 but will be happy with an 8 (maybe). I'm not sure I ever wore a 5! You go girl! :woohoo:
 
SIZE SNOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
