Day 44- down 20lbs!!!!!!

Well after working my butt off literally yesterday I woke up to a pleasant surprise today. I am down to 201.1, almost onderland. If I can keep this up I will be well into onderland by my goal which is new years (my birthday)! Yesterday my exercise consisted of dancing, lifting 5lb weights and jogging/dancing around the kitchen table with my 2 year old. I learned how to incorporate him in my workout so he is having fun and I am still burning a ton of calories! I had my father in laws birthday party last night we had lasagna. I had one piece of lasagna measured out at 310 calories and one piece of apple pie (very small piece) I stayed within my calories range and still enjoyed the birthday.

Day 43- down 17.3 lbs

Well Friday night I went out for my husbands work christmas party. I did drink..more then I wanted too. But I didn't snack at all which I am proud of. The next 2 days my weight fluxuated between 201 and 205. It settled today at 203.7 and I am happy with that. I lost three lbs last week which was nice. I am hoping to lose another 2-3 this week. I need to hold myself together the next few weeks tonight I have my father in laws birthday followed by a saturday christmas dinner with my inlaws. my plan is too stay with in my calories drink LOTS of water and keep my goals in mind. I should find out within the next 3 weeks if I made it in to barries biggest loser. I am praying I do it will really help me reach my goals.

Well my twilight inspirational quote of today is

It was difficult. Not many of us have the restraint necessary to accomplish it.  I wasn’t sure if I was strong enough… And while there was still that possibility that I might be… overcome, I was… susceptible. Until I made up my mind that I was strong enough, that there was no possibility at all that I would… that I ever could…

Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 14, p.301
 
I have made my mind that I am strong enough to do this...as hard as it may be
 
Now for the twilight motivation of the day!:
 

Doesn't every girl want a tummy like that!!!!!
 

Day 39- no change

Well weighed myself today and no change from yesterday. I am a little nervous because I am going out tonight clubbing (for the first time since having kids) and I am scared about drinking. I bounce between the yes I want to have a few drinks to no its not worth it. My best bet would be if I did drink to mix with diet alcohol. I still haven't made my decision. My other problem is I have no idea what to wear. What can a fat girl wear to a bar thats  suitable for an over weight person but dressy enough that I don't look like I am under dressed or a slob. How did I let myself get this big again after working so hard the first time to lose so much. I know I just had a baby but I shouldn't be 50lbs heavier for it!

This time of year is always the hardest for diets. In my family we have 2 birthdays, 2 christmas dinners, a christmas eve party, 3 days at my in laws with TONS of baked goods and then new years which is my birthday too! Its gonna take alot of will power and perseverance to get through this month not only the same weight but LOSING weight.

Here is my motivational twilight quote of the day : "Just because I'm resisting the wine doesn't mean I can't appreciate the bouquet."- Edward


If the cullens can resist their favourite food and live off food that doesn't taste quite as good...I am sure we can too!!!!!
 
Twilight motivation for today

now thats some motivation!!!!

Diet Day 38- down 16.5lbs!

I guess I will start with introducing myself...
Hi, I am Nyx and I am a twilight addict :P I am 23 years old, married and a mother of 2 amazing boys. Landon is almost 3 and Link is 3 months. I have been overweight for as long as I can remember. Between having my two kids I managed to lose 50lbs of the 90 I wanted to lose then I got pregnant and now I am starting all over again. Losing weight the first time was not easy. I used auditioning at canadian idol as my motivator but when the audition was over I lost my motivation and spent quite a few months gaining and losing. Then I got pregnant. This time around I am still using an event as motivation but I am also using the motivation of being able to play with my kids and not end up exhuasted and out of breath. I want to be healthy!!!

Well its now day 38 of my twilight diet. My first goal was 10lbs by the new moon premiere, I lost 9 but I was still happy. My next goal is to be under 200 by my birthday (dec 31). I am currently at 16.5lbs lost which leaves me with 4.7 to lose to be under 200. Once I am passed that line I am NEVER going back!!!

By now your wondering what the big event I am losing as motivation is.....IT'S TWICON!!!! Yes I am a nerd and I bought my first convention tickets ever. I am soo excited and I want to be as close to my goal weight by then as I can get. That means losing 74.6lbs by June 25th of next year. Anybody else attending is more then welcome to join me in losing weight for the big event!

My diet plan is eating calories between 1400-1500, exercising and drinking 4-6 bottles of water a day.

Here is some motvation for you today!....Kellan Lutz!

If thats not motvation I don't know what is!!!!!!!
