PHOTO FRIDAY! v. 2010

*DON'T FORGET WEIGH INS CHANGED

TO SUNDAY, SO CHECK BACK!*

Sorry they're so dark! All of the lightbulbs in our room burned out except one ;) heh. I'm already having trouble keeping with my New Years Resolution :ugh:! But I will say NOTHING NEGATIVE about these pictures and just be HAPPY that I'm documenting my journey :)!

Last night's dinner was D E L I C I O U S. I had a grilled chicken salad (favorite), chips & queso, and some of a roll. My tummy wasn't too happy with me afterward, but I'm feeling much better this morning :). Hope everyone had a SAFE and HAPPY new year. IT'S 2010 Y'ALL!!!!!

PHOTO FRIDAY!

*DON'T FORGET - WEIGH INS CHANGED

TO SUNDAY, SO CHECK BACK!*

I haven't worked out since before Thanksgiving and I think it shows. My tummy is constantly bloated but I took these pictures before I ate anything today so it's not too bad... I've come down with a cold but hopefully it'll be gone within the next few days... my surgery is on Friday and I wont be able to workout much for probably 2 weeks after that, so I'm bummed and just ready to get back into it.

I need your words of encouragement :(. I want to lose weight, but I want to be FIT once it's lost, ya know? Do you think that I'll be able to make up for lost time when I am finally able to start working out hard again??

Thanks for reading & always listening!! Love you all!!

Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was just as fun and delicious as mine was! In the morning the boo & I went to his grandma's house and in the evening we went to my mom's. I can tell you that I didn't over eat but I ate what I wanted. I'm not gonna weigh in this week because of said holiday.. I think it will be best for me mentally, haha! I know today is Photo Friday.. so just in case you are in need of a pic-fix, here's me & my honey!

PHOTO SATURDAY!

pounds lost this week: 2

pounds lost to date: 33

current weight: 216 lbs

Yay! Only 7 more pounds until I'm out of the 2-teens! :] I'm looking forward to a good week.. sorry I've been a bit behind on posting lately.. I've been so bogged down with tests & studying for finals. Give me like 2 more weeks and I'll be back with a bang (I'll still be posting, as much as I can!)! Thanksgiving is next week & I'm so excited! I'm going to try to cook something for each lunch/dinner we go to, and I'm gonna try to make it HEALTHY! So I guess we'll see how that goes..! I have some pictures of a baked okra recipe that I tried out last night.. the recipe is under the Healthy Recipes section, and I'll post those pics in a little bit!


Today I'm moving a couch into my living room and going to help Ean's mom move a table... so a tiny workout! Then I think I'm gonna relax with the boo & enjoy the weekend :). I hope you do too!

xo,
Carissa

Had a good week :). I'm gonna say good bye to the 220s by next Friday! And you know what? It's the end of the day Friday, I've done SO good all day, and I'm confident that I will be tonight. I think I may have broken the weekend binge cycle...

Tomorrow I'm thinking of finding a good dessert recipe for Thanksgiving.. keep an eye out!

I worked hard for that one pound ladies & gents! I'm happy! I was worried I might have a gain after last weekend. I'm starting this weekend off on a much better note :). It's hard, but I've done a really good job avoiding temptations. Now I'll just give myself a good pat on the back, and keep chuggin along.

Also, My boyfriend and I are celebrating our 1 yr 6 mo anniversary today!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ I couldn't be happier, and I most def. would not be able to do what I'm doing without him! I am the luckiest girl in the world :]. I LOVE YOU BABE!!!! xoxox


Love you all!

Well, I did it!! I reached 15 pounds before the end of August! That was my very first baby goal.. and now I'm just staying focused on my reward goals!! :):) I'm so happy that I'm finally doing this. I'm really proud and I can't wait to lose more.. & especially can't wait till it starts showing in the pics :)!

I'm prepared for a possible gain at the end of this next week because of my relapse, but I'll be okay. I'm going to work hard this next week! Only 3 lbs until I reach my 15 lb by the end of August goal - geez! And THEN only 10 pounds until I get my TOMS!!! That's weird to think about!

Thanks for all your support!
