8th week; still going strong

well last week, I did not write on my blog because I got the week off and got caught up with catching up on all my school work. I am still busy and have lots to do for school. It cae to me when I am stressed out and feel overwhelmed I turn to food as a comfort. So you might noticed I did not follow a diet. You absoltulely right! I was doing so much work for school I became overwhelmed and I would then use food( such as the good food, like chips cakes, soda etc.) to get my spirits up. Anyways this past monday(march 22nd) I began my diet again and I joined the gym!! I am so proud of myself; I been going for about an hour and a half everyday. I feel great and know I will begin to see changes in my body by exercising and dieting. I cannot wait to see my end results. I am now looking foward to summer! :)

7th week; I am in it on my own

This week I was very motivated to continue doing my diet. I won the biggest loser contest last week against my co-workers. Throughout the week, I was doing my diet and following strictly a 1500 based calorie diet. I was working hard, and was psyched about my weigh in on Friday. I think I enjoy losing the weight and getting a reward for losing weight. I usually spend the money on a reward I enjoy like getting my nails done or my eyebrows. Well, it did not work out like that. It was one of my co-workers birthday, so my co-workers which I am doing the contest with decide amongst themselves that they would skip the weigh in because everyone was going to munch out. I thought it was unfair and no informed me about this until I asked on Friday about our weigh in. I care more about losing weight than the money or winning the contest in the end. It is much more to me than that. I really depended on my co-workers as motivation and inspiration to lose weight. I thought if we worked together as a team, we could help each other stay on task and not want to munch out. I seem to be the only one taking it serious, so starting next week I am going to be doing this on my own. I have the self determination and will power to succeed on my own!

6th week; Im the biggest loser

Yesterday was my first weigh in for the biggest loser contest. I won for this week. I lost a total of 4lbs, which I think was water weight. I do see a bit of a difference; my pants do not take 10 minutes to put on and I am less blotted. However, when I won my contest, I did not feel that others were as happy as I would have been if I did not win. I thought we were here for each other as a support system. But, I stood by my diet and ate a weight watchers meal while my co-workers order domino wings, cheesy bread sticks and lava cake. What a tease! It looked so good and I wanted some; but I did not eat any; not even one bit. With the money I won, I went to get my nails done. I plan to do as well as I did this week for the weeks to come. I enjoy losing weight and getting a little cash I can use to reward myself. I feel good, and know I will look good before the summer comes if I keep sticking to my diet and exercise routine.
