Update on Project New Me

I know that I have not posted anything for quite awhile and it has been even longer since I did a "Project New Me" update. While Project New Me has still been in effect even though I have not updated in a while.

About two weeks ago I actually started a phase (ie diet). My husband has been doing Medifast for the 2 months or so and I finally decided to try it out too. Day 1 of Medifast was on 9/2/13. And I weighed in at 175lbs. I also took my body measurements (which are listed down below). I will be trying to take this every month to track my process so I will not do this again until 10/2.

My Measurements at the start of Medifast:
Upper Arms: 14.0 in
Chest: 35.0 in
Waist: 37.0 in
Hips: 45.0 in
Thighs: 27.0 in

After 2 weeks of being on plan I have drop 10 LBS!!!!! And I feel great about it. I have actually started to have people tell me that they can see a difference!!!! I am so excited about getting myself into a healthier body. The package food from Medifast is actually not all the bad. I was not sure that I was really going to like any of it and there have been things that I will not order again. Some of favorites are the French Vanilla Shakes, the S'more Crunch bar and the Caramel Crunch bar. This plan has also forced me to start cooking dinner every night. Which I am actually finding that I enjoy more then I thought I would. We would cook dinner sometime but mostly it consisted of throwing something on the grill or order in. My husband and I have tried out several different recipes and I think I am going to start putting some of our favorites on a page here on the blog.

Update on Project New Me

Project New Me is going pretty well. I had been down 12 lbs, but I had a back slide at Easter. My family came in and I did not pay attention to what I was eating and I put 6 lbs back on. That was really discouraging, especially because it was completely my fault. But I buckled down with my diet and started exercising and I drop 5 lbs since Easter. So that brings my total weight loss to 11 lbs. Which means that I get to mark another goal off my list. YEAH ME!!

I am the worst self motivator, so I am trying some new things to help myself succeed. I have added an alarm to my phone to reminder to exercise everyday. I have added a second alarm to try to get myself to go to bed at a decent time. And I still have my signs around my house.

Starting weight: 185 lbs

Current weight: 174 lbs

Project New Me update

When I first started this project I was 185, I didn't do so well for a couple of weeks and went up to 187.  I am proud to say that as of Monday I have turned the corner.  I went to see my doctor and got back on the diet plan that I had lost 20 lbs on last year.  This week alone I have dropped 4 lbs, SINCE MONDAY!!  YEAH ME!!!

I am taking my lunch to work, I even turned down the crab wontons that Kyle offered me for dinner tonight.  Instead I had a salmon lean cruise meal.  And it was really good.  

I still need to work out more to help boost my weight loss.  It is very hard for my to motivate myself at 7 at night when I have been at work for 11 hours.  But my goal to to keep trying and not to get discouraged.

Finding my motivation

I am trying to set myself up to succeed this time with my weight loss.  I have spent the evening trolling the internet and pinterest looking for exercises that I will be able to do at home when Riley is around. I am making sheet to hang around my house to remind that exercise does need to take forever and that I can do small things while doing other things and get moving a bit everyday.  

I have one sheet that I am going to hang in my bathroom that are things that I can do while brushing my teeth and getting ready in the morning.

Another is going to hanging near my TV for things that I can do while watching TV, during commercials  and playing with Riley.  

And a third one will hang in my kitchen for things I can do while making dinner..

After I print all of these out I am going to laminate them so they won't get ruin or ripped by Riley.
