You won't hear much from me this weekend cause i'll probably be pretty exclusivly on the ship. Have a great weekend!!

New Blog title and gadgets

Hey there! 

So I was mentioning to my Sister that I didn't like my blog title (at all) and I wanted to change it. She suggested this, and I like it. I have an abnormal name and I have always had to repeat/spell/pronounce/etc for people. It's quite fitting for me.

Also check out my new header... nothing special but at least there's a picture.

My weight tracker is on my side bar. I may not always blog about my progress, but I will update that. 

Happy blogging!

Update on WW

I haven't been great about updating on my WW progress, but this is worthy an update.

Last friday (I know.... i'm way behind) I stepped on the scale and was elated to read 165! 

I've reached my first mini Goal!!!!! 5 pounds in 3 weeks isn't amazing, but it's loss. It's healthy, and it's something I can stick with! WOOO HOOOO!!!!

Progress Report

About 30 minutes ago I made myself a cup of sugar-free hot chocolate and sat down with my daily piece of toast to blog about my journey so far. I get distracted easily. Keep all shiny things far from me. Please. 

Anyways, being somewhat serious. The last few days have been going ok. I moved home on Tuesday. I'm not sure if i find it easier to keep my diet here or not. I got to cook dinner for just me tonight. MMM! I loved it! Cooking that is. I tried sweet potato fries and some oven fries. They were pretty yummy but I gotta figure out the seasoning/cooking a little more next time. I also had some  sauteed veggies with my grilled chicken. It was yummy. Fresh asparagus, carrots, mushroom, onion, capsicum (bell pepper). It was really nice. A little sad to sit in front of TV by myself though. I don't like eating alone. It's not fun. 

I did go for a nice walk before dinner. It felt a lot longer than it actually was, but I'm working myself up. I found a nice circuit that works well for now. I want to work myself up to running but i'm not quite there yet. I also did some pilates after dinner. Again, felt a lot longer than it was, but I have to start somewhere. I want to start biking as well, but I wasn't feeling it today. Mostly because my hair wasn't gonna fit in the helmet as it was and I just wanted to get out the door and not mess around anymore.

There's my story for today. The last few days have actually been going pretty well, but i'm excited to start exersizing more regularly. 

A step in the right direction....

A few months back, I took the dreaded steps onto the doctors scale. I was devestateted to read the result. 77.7 kilos. That's about 170 lbs. My stomach, heart, and confidence dropped to the floor. I felt terrible. I felt like bursting into tears in the middle of the doctors office. I had no idea how I'd managed to gain so much weight. I remember my top weight being 143lbs before I started a diet with my parents. I know that compared to a lot of people, my story really isn't so bad, and I'm fine with that but I am over feeling tired and unable to exersize. I am not giving excuses anymore. I'm doing something about it. 

Last friday (?), I joined Weight Watchers. It's incredibly humbling for me to say that. I struggle with admitting it. To be completely honest, a lot of the people I live with don't know. I don't want them to. I'm a little embarresed and I really don't want everyone putting their two cents in about my weight. 

I do however want the accountability of this site. I want to be able to talk about what is hard, the progress I'm making and things I've found that work for me. You don't have to read if you don't want to, but I'm doing this. I'm determined.
