Yes I know this post should have been done a few weeks ago, but I was very depressed and just forgot all about the year end stuff. I’m not exactly sure what was wrong, but I am starting to get back to normal again.
This year I lost some, gained some and lost it again, but my overall progress is good, though I really didn’t lose much overall. Even if I don’t lose 100 pounds this year, but I still stay on the same track I will still have less the 100 to lose next year. Again I would love to lose 100 in a year, but I don’t think it’s going to happen and that is why the title of this blog is not My Loss My Gain: My Quest to lose 100 pounds in a year, but just My Loss My Gain: My Quest to lose 100 pounds.
I have also changed my goal as I’ve lose weight. This year its changing to a more healthy range and will stay there for the rest of my journey.
Are you ready to see my overall weight loss for last two years… and a couple weeks this year!

Yes what you see above is a banner for my new business. Remember a few months ago when I did a review for It Works!? Well, I decided to start selling it as I knew it was a product I could get behind! So now not only do I blog, sell home decor items and go to school, I now sell wraps. I’m really excited about it because I can actually say this is an amazing product that works. Most health products you really can’t do that with, at least in my experience.
Now I’m hoping this will also help me keep up with this blog, if you have read this blog at any point in time you know that I use to do a weekly weigh in, I use to have a new years post and all that fun stuff. Well this year I’m been depressed, very very depressed so now that I’m out of that problem, I think the sun coming back out is helping, I’m going to try to do this again. My first weigh in of the year will be Friday. I will share my weight loss from last year to that point and all that fun stuff. I also love the timing because I’m going to start using a few of the It Works products too so you can follow my progress with those too!
Disclosure: I am now an It Works! consultant. All thoughts and opinions about the products are my own unless otherwise stated. All links to It Works point to my personal website where I make commission on items sold.

Lets just say I have not been doing well over the last few months. I had planned on exercising more, eating better and just in general working on me. Instead I have eaten worse due to money issues, not exercised and last week I went back on insulin, gained 10 pounds and have now taken myself off again.
I’m not doing well, and that’s just the start. Money issues, stress and more OH MY! Yes, I know I really am not sure where I am going with anything, but I do figure that eventually I will either eat myself to death or get back on the ball. I’m really hoping it’s the latter as I would love to see summer and maybe even wear a bikini for the first time… Okay that probably won’t happen till next year anyway, but a girl can dream right?
So until then I will consider walking the dog, the is a small one in fact so really I’ll just be walking carrying the dog. Maybe that’s not such a good idea. I have some great Wii games and my step 360 I can use… maybe, just maybe I’ll chose one to do tomorrow.
Maybe if I do one day I can look like that!

It seems lately, that as I work on eating better and exercising, that some of the pains and aches that used to bother me are not as noticeable as they used to be. I’ve noticed my migraine headaches are not as prominent as they used to be. This may be because I have gotten my sugar under better control, or maybe because I have lost some weight. Whatever the reason it’s very hopeful to not have to deal with the pain and I believe I have been able to be healthier because of this.
I know for some that migraine symptoms can really affect everyday life. I’ve been lucky I only got migraines occasionally and now very rarely. I was talking with someone the other day who told me that their migraines actually affect their ability to work out an exercise. I could understand why they would believe that and I told them that may be what they need to do is talk with their doctor, and see if there is a way to treat the migraine so that they can work out and lose weight.
Over the last couple of days since this conversation I have wondered if this is a problem for other people. I know it affected me and I’ve rarely had migraines, at least compared to some people. So I asked a few more people I knew and they said the same thing. I’m happy to know it wasn’t just me and I know I still have to deal with this as I still get migraines. But I have found a few tips and tricks online get through the pain and hopefully continue pain free.
How do you deal with your migraines? Do they come on before or after a workout or do they just appear at random times of the day?

I think I’m doing pretty well, though I’m not exercising enough I am cutting down on how much I eat. I am hoping that I can start exercising again very soon as I know I need to exercise so that this can actually be beneficial and I could be healthy.

I have not been keeping up with my weigh in’s it’s just been very stressful. I have no money, no food and I’m thinking that moving was a very bad idea. In fact I may break my lease and move back to my moms after next month.
The good news is I didn’t gain weight. I’m surprised since I have to eat crap now, but it’s probably because my sugar is so high that I’m in the bad area where I get rid of my fat, but not in a good way. In other words I’m dying.
My weight last weigh in 242
My weight now 241
So I’m happy and depressed all at the same time. I don’t’ really want to move back since I will never find a job, but I can’t seem to make it here either. Everything is so expensive and I really have no help.

I have not exercised in over a week and before that it was a few weeks. I have no energy and my blood sugar has been very, very high so it’s been hard. It was down this morning but I had so much work to do that I couldn’t exercise. I hate it because when I have the time I can’t, but when I don’t my sugar seems to be in the range where I can.
I did have an interview last week and hopefully I get the job, I’m waiting on my second interview right now. I need the job and the insurance that will go with it. I’m just hoping it’s not too late. I’m worried about money and school and so much more it’s just crazy. I’m trying to do what I can to get things back to normal, but its not working very well. I am going to try to get more out there on this blog. I feel that I am ignoring it and I don’t like it. I will do a weigh in post tomorrow and try to get back on track.

Yes I know my weigh in is late, but I’m still going to tell you what I weighed on Friday,, also my other stats will have to wait till next week as I didn’t have my measuring tape till yesterday.
Last weeks weight: 242
My current weight: 241
So I’m still losing. I am really happy with my progress so far and I’m really excited because I’m finally moving my Step 360 down to my apartment. It’s a good thing too as the weather is starting to get really cold and I don’t want to have to try to go out and walk.

So I have been moving and doing schoolwork and dancing around my living room for the last week or so and I have to say I am really happy with my progress this week. I want to keep working out and keep trying new things, but I know with winter coming it will be hard. The good news is I have my step 360 and my sisters Wii to play with so I think I’ll keep going. Lets just say I have not been this weight since I was just out of high school. I am really excited to keep going.
My Weight Last weigh in :252
My Weight This week:242
Yes I have lost 10 pounds in the last month. I think it’s because I’m eating better, food really is a big part of all of it. I still want to exercise as that is going to help my blood sugar, but food is what can really help you to lose. Make sure you eat enough though. My scale tells me that today I need 1800 calories to keep my weight, so I’m going to aim for 1500 to lose weight.
Are you trying to lose weight? How are you doing it?

I have been moving the last three weeks and I’ve also started classes so I have been busy. I’m still going to be writing on this blog, I have not done a weigh in because I just got my scale to my new apartment this week. I will do one tomorrow I promise.
I’m having a time with this move, it’s been harder then I planned but I think things are starting to come together and I’m looking forward to sharing more meals with you and other ways I plan to lose weight. right now I’ve been unpacking and doing homework so no exercise the last 2 weeks. I’ve also been sick so it actually works out.
