It's Been About Forever Since I've Updated This...

Well, it's been forever and a day since I have updated this blog. Lots of good things going on and I am happy to say, that I am down to 186.8!! WOOP WOOP. That is 11.2 lbs total that I have lost since starting January 3. I had a really bad two weeks in a row. One of which was the last post, in which I lost only .6 that week.  The following week, just as disheartening. I had lost only .8 of a lb. If you think I had a crying explosion outside of Subway because I was so pissed, you might be right. I wanted to rage quit on WW and walk away and go eat cheeseburgers and french fries and drink until I felt better. I had walked 2 miles almost every day that week and to only lose .8?????? SO DISHEARTENING. I was over it.

But....that terrible week once again motivated me to keep pushing and doing better. Recently I have been following Mama Laughlin and Skinny Meg, both on their blogs and on Instagram. These two women have motivated me SO MUCH to keep going and to do the best with what I have. I don't have a gym membership. I don't have a treadmill. I have a poodle, Nikes, and a road to walk on. And those things that I have, have helped me to lose 11.2 lbs in a month. And that is ok with me. I am doing the best I can with what I have. EVERYONE can do this. Both Megan and Brandi lost their weight the old fashioned way. No miracles, just hard work and commitment. They are teaching me to NEVER GIVE UP. No rage quitting. No Subway parking lot meltdowns. Keep at it. Quitting just puts you back to step 1. And nobody who is committed wants to be back there.

The past two weeks I have lost 2 lbs and then 2.2 lbs. WINNING. I am thrilled with this. WW set me a  first goal of 184.3 lbs. I am hoping to reach it within the next two weeks. WW has become second nature. And I lost this weight while STILL treating myself. Boyfriend and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary on January 27. It's been a crazy two years, but I love him and excited for our future. We went to The Melting Pot in Charlotte. O M GAHHHH. SO delicious. I had a cocktail. I had 4 courses of fondue deliciousness. And I still lost 2lbs.

Happy Anniversary!

I even dolled myself up all beautimous like. 

And wore my new INC shirt my Mama got me for Christmas.

I'm not looking bad in this photo. However, I am wearing some crazy body shaping underwears. I'm sorry I just told you that. But overall, I was happy with how I looked. And I can still see my body changing each weigh in, each week. It's true that you get out what you put into WW. I count EVERYTHING I put in my mouth. Including little things. Because those little things add up. I try not to guess. I measure everything. Does it get annoying? Errrrhhmmm yes. But each week at the scale is worth it.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend! The weather here is BEAUTIFUL this weekend. However, I am a little sad I am missing Winter Storm Nemo. We haven't had a snowy winter in PA FOREVER, and of course I would move south just in time to miss it all. Yaysies.

Kisses from Addie Poodle! This little girl loves to bother me in the bathroom when I get ready in the morning. I think she doesn't need makeup, she's already a beautyfull lady. She's getting so big, 6 months old already! I love my fuzzy baby.

Keep doing the best with what you have,
Amanda <3
