Attempting to blog…everyday.

Starting today I am going to blog everyday. 

Quit laughing…No seriously. 

I really enjoying blogging.  It helps me stay focused and keep me in check.  Plus I keep pimping this blog out at the support group meetings and then I never update so alas, here we go. 

Goals for October:

1.  Blog everyday (minus yesterday…I don’t count it because it was a Friday :) )

2.  Lose 10lbs by the end of the month

3.  Track my food via The Daily Plate (via Livestrong)

4.  Move my sweet arse a bit more than as of late (which really means, I haven’t done anything since May)

So we covered numero uno, no onto….

2.  I have instituted a weight loss challenge to the cult.  Who ever loses the most weight percentage wise by the end of the year wins a lemon drop martini.  I am going to try to do 10 lbs every month.  I am at a standstill weight wise (due to number 4 probably being non-existent), so time to get cracking. 

3.  For some reason, this has been just as difficult as blogging!  WTF!?  So this attempt may almost be as hard as….

4.  I have two gym memberships.  Seriously. 

So people…its time to get with it.  I don’t consider myself a failure with this whole WLS thing, because I have lost a crap load of weight, and fit into clothes that I haven’t seen in over 10 years.  Actually – longer.  Wow.  But I know the “bad” habits are creeping back in.  Bites of junk food here and there, sweets, chocolates, etc.  I need to cut this crappola out.  Oh and my good friend, Mr. Carbohydrate, well he is an ever present force that needs a swift kick in his butthole out of my life. 

So join me, in the re-education of Losing Libby.

    You make me smile, and it's not just because you're funny looking. I'm happy for us that we're (once again) using the tools we know we have (including our heads). Many hugs and much love. C

Weight

I weighed myself yesterday.  I weigh three lbs more than I did when I got pregnant.  NOT TOO SHABBY! So I’m about to post it for the world to see:   258 lbs.    Man that was rough.  I think it takes some serious balls to post my actual weight, but ya know what, I HOPE it’ll make me more accountable.  Tuesday I am joining Weight Watchers.  I lost 140+ lbs with gastric bypass.  (You can do the math)  It still isn’t enough.  I would love to be down to 200lbs by Ian’s first birthday.  That would be about 11.6 lbs a month.  I believe with the accountability factor of going to weigh in every week, along with actually using the tool I was given back in 2009 (properly), I should be successful.  There is no reason or excuse to fail, other than myself.  This next chapter in the life of Libby is all about holding myself accountable.  For my weight, behavior, eating, actions, and much to my dismay, my emoti...
